Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
This is a live performance by English rock band Pink Floyd performing the song "Comfortably Numb" live from the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London in 2005. The song first appeared on the band's infamous double album "The Wall" from 1979. The song was released as a single the same year. The writing credit for this song is shared between guitarist David Gilmour and bassist and singer Roger Waters, Gilmour composed most of the music and Waters wrote the lyrics.
One of the things that the song is most known for are the two guitar solos played by Gilmour. There is a chorus solo which is in the key of D major, and the long outro solo is in the key of B minor.
It's a great and mellow song, and one of the band's most well known and really a great tune.
Enjoy ; )

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
This is a live performance by the British rock band Pink Floyd playing live at the "Live 8" benefit concert. The song is the title track to the band's 1975 album. The song is was a Roger Waters and David Gilmour collaboration with lyrics by Roger Waters who writes about alienation from other people. The song is also an homage to former frontman Syd Barret.
The song is very popular and it has been covered by Wyclef Jean whose version ended up at #2 on the UK Singles Chart. His version was released in 2001.
I also recommend checking out this version, click here to go to a video of it. It is a performance by Roger Waters with Eric Clapton accompanying him. It sounds very good and Clapton's subtle lead playing fits the song very well.
A great song and a great performance.
Enjoy ; )
