Completely agree - mesmerising to watch, such a great track played amazingly

I’m usually against anybody covering Floyd songs, but this was done very well.

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson is that why bumblefoot shits all over Gilmour?

Right on

So True!!!! National Anthem

Once I ate and drink while drumming. And some choir as well....

@@daevven your mother must be very proud

@@satan1168 i suppose she dont know.. I tell her tomorrow 😂

multi-tasking done to a "T"

@@edzeljereza8234 Mr Portnoy ? You mean the one and only *Mike Portnoy* ? You say Mike Portnoy is playing the drums, here? A WHOLE SONG all in 4/4 ? It's *not possible* mate : Mike Portnoy cannot stand to stay in 4/4 signature more than 4 bars. Everyone know that.

Absolutely true ❤

💯

did you not hear Bumblefoots solo? lol.. it was amazing but he overplayed the shit out of that.

@@KalosPVP The rest of the band is giving plenty of room for Bumblefoot to shred as the guitar solo will always be the climax of Comfortably Numb. But you don't get to hear Portnoy doing double bass triplets or Billy Sheehan tapping at 200 BPM nor using his signature overdrive thick bass tone.

Mike Portnoy even respects Nick Mason out of all drummers

@@KalosPVP totally did, based it well to start with on DG's solo, then after that he couldn't even continue the same style to complete it. I guess you can only mimic someone else's emotions to a point, after that it becomes clear that you don't have the same feeling.

And it points to their skill and years of experience ! they played this just right ! cool calm collected and laid-back! ( perfect )👏👍✌️❤️

He didn't feel the need to sacrifice the familiar, beloved solo in order to make himself look good or anything, and that's commendable- he could easily have played totally different stuff but up to where the song would normally fade out, he did it note for note then added extra to the coda; I applaud him for his restraint and faithfulness

The guy has nothing to prove. And the ability and maturity to play a technically upgraded solo that remains in the spirit of the original.

Well he still added some of his own 7:32

@@bertsonder Yeah I think that little bit he added by the near end was unnecesary.

Did you not hear the 2nd half of the solo? Original spirit of the song replaced by crazy overplaying. It was still good, but it could have been great like the rest.

That's how I see it too - note for note perfect on the original solo and then adding his own spin to it.

Nothing respectful about it at all. The thing that made Pink Floyd, and Gilmour so unique was lost in this version, the solos they do serve the songs, not Gilmour's ego. The guy in this video does it as a self-serving measure, as is the case with many of these musicians. You folk lap up any old shit.

​@@profbawbag6604you are wrong. This guy and the whole band are perfectly respectful to the song. You sound like you could do better. Please post your videos big shot.

@@user-lx6zv2tl5d Not about what i can and can't do. I can't make cars, but i can still complain about whether a car is good or bad. Your logic is nonsense. The guy overcooks the solo. If you know anything about Pink Floyd at all, you know the guitar solos serve the songs, not the guitarist. The guy in this video using the solo as a self-serving solo. Something Gilmour never did/does. Listen to some PF and get back to me. You obviously know nothing about them outside of watching this nonsense in the above video. In a nutshell: Gilmour is not a "oh, look at me" guitarist, yet this guy is. Missing the entire point of what made PF great. You obviously don't get it. That's ok, you just like modern self-serving musicians.

@@profbawbag6604 everyone on that stage likes Bumble's work. I'm a musician....you are obviously NOT. Therefore, myself and all the guitar players that I know suggest you take your self serving and incorrect opinions and learn something about music. To say I "obviously" don't know anything is so pathetic of you. Take your head outa yet arse.

@@profbawbag6604 you are obviously not a musician. Take your head outa yer arse. We musicians know what we are talking about. You know very little compared to us or the real musicians on that stage. Keep trying to sound like you are some kinda pro if it makes you feel cool.......

AMEN ! + 1000

Never is enough

That is true.

The solo of high hopes wants to know your location!

And still gives me chills every time I hear the first notes.

totally agree!

indeed & it was as least as good as the roger water's version i heard a couple of years ago on his last australian tour 2018

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNNlmLp9vb2anGg.html

NOT

existe otra versión tan espectacular de este tema, es de la banda Australiana Brit Floyd

Might I recommend Brit Floyd?

I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!

The wrost of the people who can play.. This is not the soul of this song is gentle and unforgiven.. This is only hrioejshsaheueghaoosnsgsooabeidija

Amazing

@@HeadHunterSix might I recommend the Australian pink Floyd?

Yes it’s Ron Thal, one of the best players on our planet

In full Ron Bumblefoot Thal

In full Ron bumblfoot Rosenthal !!

That's the only thing I don't like about this performance...

Not bad, although this kind of shredding solo does not fit that well this song. Still pretty enjoyable anyway.

Didn't know he sang. Lol. Great job Mike.

@@davidnelson5474 Yeah he at least sings backup in addition to drums in most bands he's in.

@@davidnelson5474 he sang back up vocals on Scenes from a memory. Most clearly in "fatal tragedy" also he has a demo where he sings through the entire "The best of times"

Better than Soto.

Hats off in times of trouble. Good on you, sir. We need to look beyond the sun. Rise up, and make a change. AML from Sweden.

Ute u can say tat again. Do agree with you.

Fully agree

Toi on Riki Sorsan veli..🦆

same

das seh ich auch so valentina !

james LaBra more perfect.

Super🐝🎶💃🏽👍

Yeah, i hope he does more vocal lines with this kind of style.

Jeff Scott is better

Yep Mike truly found another Petrucci in Thal. I digged him in Guns N' Roses but his talent was a little wasted in a glam rock band. Fantastic player.

yes, he is good, but when i listen to original, Gilmore makes me cry, without a bit of shreding.

@@chegavara67 literally no one asked

@@chegavara67 another blues boy who cries when someone plays with any kind of technical ability..Go listen to some BB if you can't handle it

@@axkmster You're funny guy. I play for 30 years now, For sure i've never been a blues player... Over the years, my perception of music has drasticly changed. Shred tells me musically absolutely nothing. It yust shows me motorical abbilities..... Sorry if i hurt your shredders pride. Modern rock has become a competition, who can play more notes in a single interval....

That’s why he melodically shredded gilmour off the planet with that solo

@@MrBiteme39 yes, he didn't try to improve the solo after the original ended. And he sure didn't improve it with that end rubbish. It would have taken talent he does not possess to extend the solo in the same style that the song required.

@@MrBiteme39 nobody puts Dave in the corner...

@@bennoakes2477 I'm not a shredder fan but I enjoyed it.

@@bennoakes2477 well everyone except you seems to agree that the end solo was pretty fucking badass

Really! Check his backing vocals work with The Winery Dogs. Stunning 🤟🏻🤙🏻💎

@@Leddrums Well remembered. I hope to see a lot of his works on vocals ...

@@vitorhyonaiAnd double bass stuff like in Oblivion 🤟🏻😁

He’s gotten a lot better over the years.

@@husker6395 of course mate. Those guys have time and money to go to school as well apart earning money by night 😂

agree !

how is that in any form origionally

The whole band in fact is a dream team

Ahhh...niacin...

Billy Sheehan is an underrated bass player in my mind but he is bloody fantastic with mr big, Steve vai and soa

I remember him from the DLR band in the 80's.

@@JuanPabloMedinaStumpfs its a dream team, but never a dream theater LMAO

A lot of that is Bumblefoot (guitar player). Dude just put out a Soundgarden cover that is spot on. He can really sing.

@@TomMcMahonMUSIC lmao

@@TomMcMahonMUSIC anyone who can step in for John Wetton with any degree of success can obviously sing extraordinarily well… especially while simultaneously stepping into Steve Howe’s guitar parts. Portnoy has a unique vocal contribution also, as he shows well as bottom end of the Flying Colors harmonies.

Portnoy has lots of vocals in Dream Theater. Probably the most after Labrie.

He sang quite a bit in Dream Theater

Definitely

Sure!! A song that will last forever.. Life is out there, I'd rather face it and let it hurt than feel nothing

The song this more than just a music is. For generations is message it.

You know that it is about how Roger felt after a doctor had to inject him with a sedative before one of the shows since he was coked out of his mind and couldn’t perform, and the lyrics are basically describing the sedative-induced haziness after drug use? What message could it possibly have? It’s a musical miracle, and has a wonderful mood, and probably the best guitar solo in the existence. I love this song, heck I even play it myself, but I wouldn’t go as far as saying it has a message for generations.

@@Alpysf Well, he talks about his childhood, and I think he is trying to get back that sense of lost wonder about the world or at least numb away the pain of it.

He is one of the Greatest

Underrated? Definitely not. Just not as well known as he should be.

Honestly, I rate him up there with the very best. I tackled shawn lane before bumblefoot.

Bumblefoot is one of those guys who every time I see I think he is better than I remember.

He sounds like JP at his best days back in the 90s.

Portnoy é fora da curva!!!

Thomas Brainville it’s on the digital release

Thomas Brainville when is the blu ray coming out?

@@bigtinymanowarrior7330 4 days ago ...

@@thomasbrainville8233 I just saw the Australian pink Floyd show last night and they encored with this. It was awesome!

It is on the Double CD as well. The bands didn't want the video on the off. BD.

Good guitar player, but the solo sucked big time imo. Especially the dumb and unecessary shredding shows that he is nowhere close to David Gilmour.

@@Anaximander29A in fact it sounds ten times better than the original one,this way...What you want to say is that Gilmour can't play second part of the solo like Ron...it's ok...the song is a music legend anyway...

@@Anaximander29A you absolute moron, stupid boomer...

@@Anaximander29A Your opinion sucks. He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that so he adds his own touch of shred to keep it fresh and interesting and to make it his own. I'm sick of you melodic solo gatekeepers that think any bit of technical ability and speed instantly means bad. I appreciate all styles and speeds of guitar playing and this was goddamn beautiful to me, to each their own I guess.

@@lumpy9964 I guess I was a bit too harsh with "that solo sucked big time"... I just don't like it that much. But it's definitely not as good as Gilmour on the Pulse live show. "He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that.." If that is true than this just shows that something is fundamentally wrong with this guitar player. 1. It's about the music, not about the musician's ego, 2. the arc of suspense and phrasing in the said live version from Pink Floyd is insane, if there would be no excitement in it for him than he wouldn't understand a whole lot about music. But seriously I doubt that. I bet that he knows he can't play it quite as good as Gilmore and the shred was definitely just a fan service for all you nerds. I am absolutely not against "technical" playing, but if someone does it just for the sake of it then it sounds absolutely cringe to me.

MP's vocal treatment was stunning.

I just saw the Australian pink Floyd show last night and they encored with this,was awesome!

It is a masterpiece superb, the NOW

The guitar solo is good, and I don't have a problem with all the shred playing towards the end as long as the emotional playing comes first. The singing here is not filled with the sense of pain and depression needed. This is still one of the very best covers of this song.

The version DT did with Geoff Tate during the Tribe tour was very good live

I would say Brit Floyd but this is spectacular.

Brit Floyd is basically Pinky reincarnate. Saw em at an outdoor show last year with 10,000 people. PHENOMENAL. They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr. Go see Brit Floyd!!

@@rickfeith6372 well said, I've seen them twice and it was unbelievable.

Yeah he has become my favorite player of the 2000s. Incredible.

Unfortunately, it's not about the guitar. It's about what's behind it

the guitar hes playing here isnt fretless.....only the other one.

Exactly... Perfect solo: respected the original melody and when the song asks for more notes, he showed his magic.

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson Just shut it. Please. You think this is played without emotion? There is tons of it. Just pull your head out of that smelly cavity and listen

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson Idiot. That was a perfect solo.

Ron nailed it. Love his restraint from overplaying.

I agree...not bad at all

I agree with your comment about the Pulse version. It is my favorite of my favorite song. This one is the best of the non Gilmour attempts that I have heard. It's different and there is a lot of shredding, but you never get lost in what song your hearing. I enjoyed the energy and obvious talent of the band and especially the guitar player.

Nah man its all about that sound of thunder

Now check the one in Pompeii and weep

He's legendary 🙏

@@cinamynj ...and yet, somehow, criminally underrated. He's a frickin wizard.

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson I heard a lot of emotion, personally. It was his own interpretation, and you're allowed to interpret a solo any way you want. You're also allowed to hate it, of course. ;)

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson yeah we get it fuckface, every person who likes the solo is wrong, your right, your amazing, you know everything! What a tool

@@colz848 Eh, not gonna get all douchey like Cletus, but I do think one thing in a lot of modern Prog that does bug me is there is a lot of technical wankery in place of simple melody. Just my opinion, none of the "additions" actually in any way improved the solo. But for the record, I also can't get in to Yngwie, Dream Theater, etc. Because I feel too often they substitute technical wizardry for actual songwriting. Complex seldom actually adds emotion, because emotions are in themselves pretty simple. *shrugs* so, Different strokes, different folks.

Me too

same this song is more then music💔❤🔥

Well yeah he's playing a 40lbs guitar ffs

@@mattstrat1 really??? jesus that's heavy

@@willehrhardt2743 that's what Ron says in various interviews .

you & me brother

You can see him doing so multiple times, and every time he really seems to nail it. They should have called him on stage at some point 😄
