When God first heard this, he wept tears of joy for He never knew that a stratocaster could create such soul-freeing tones.

Beg, buy, borrow, rent, or steal a copy of Pink Floyd Live at Pompei.

Glad to see Gilmore still has it. He is a true master.

Best Solo Ever? It`s very difficult to say otherwise! I would disagree even though this is one of my favorite bands of all time and ultimately one of my favorite songs of all time.. However I`m not sure if I could say it`s the "GREATEST SOLO OF ALL TIME"

The reason why I think its the greatest solo of all time is because

1. I just personally like it and
2. Gilmour relies more on melody than on showing off.
I also believe that a guitarist who shows and demonstrates more emotion in his guitar with a few notes is more talented than a guitarist who plays lightning fast licks up and down the neck.
Aids_Sauce I challenge you to name a recording whos guitar solo has more emotion than this one. I think you might be hard-pressed to find it.

There are plenty of guitarists that are technically better than David Gilmour, that is true...But

Of all the worlds "super Guitarists" none have the longevity that Gilmour has. None have performed as consistantly for over 30 years and not many have put down strings in such a way as to evoke emotion time after time.
His Comfy Numb solo IS by far the best solo ever performed and im not just saying that cuz I love Floyd. I love all guitar stuff, so if there was a better solo I would admit it.

Gilmour is a Living Guitar Legend

Nuff said.

5 minutes of boring followed by 4 1/2 minutes of rather boring guitar.
Sure he can go on for ages, doesn`t make it good tho.

although this solo is amazing, i personally enjoy the `coming back to life` one better.

if you have the video of that song being played, please upload!

Once again, I didn`t mean anything negative towards this. I fucking love it, Gilmour is a god among men.. but best ever? Nope..

Aids_Sauce I didn`t say that Gilmour was the greatest guitar player ever. You have Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tommy Emmanuel, Andy Mckee, Al De Meloa, Hendrix, and Gilmour is with those men, probably in the top five in my opinion but what I said was this, in my opinion, was the greatest SOLO ever. Just my opinion.

I can`t explain it but the guitar solo absolutely tears at your heart. Whether it`s the first time you hear it or if your playing it on your ipod for the 10,000th time.
Back in 1981 a friend of mine jumped off of the Disneyland Hotel and killed himself. He had fried is brain on PCP and thought he was being chased by demons. They played `Comfortably Numb` at his funeral. I regret that to the extent that when I hear the song now I think of Danny instead of what I fealt the first time I heard the song.
5/5

it`s got so much emotion to it that it seems like the guitar speaks of something.

I saw Roger Waters when he came to Phoenix, best concert ever - went with my dad who bought me all the drinks I wanted and smoked a joint with me - hilarity ensued shortly thereafter. Thanks for uploading this, 5/5
