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 ; )

Traveling Wilburys - Handle with Care


This is the music video to the song "Handle with Care" by the English-American supergroup Traveling Wilburys consisting of members: George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne accompanied by drummer Jim Keltner.
The song is from the band's first album "Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1" released in 1988. The writing credit of the song is attributed to all five members.
It's a really good song. I really love the simple slide guitar Harrison adds to this. Also really love the way they all sing on it, in my book Orbison steals the show though with his singing, so beautiful.
A great song, they sure don't make 'em like this no more!

Enjoy ; )

B.B. King – You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now


This is a live performance by blues legend B.B. King playing his version of the song “You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now”.
The song was released by King as a single in 1960. And the song is credited to King and Joe Josea. King has stated in later interviews that he wrote all of the songs that had the second name added to them. He stated that it was the record company’s way of getting the rights to half of the song thus taking royalties from the artists.
It is a very well renowned song and it appeared on King’s famous live album “Live at the Regal” which is considered one of the most influential live blues albums of all time. And artists such as Eric Clapton and John Mayer have admitted to using the album as a primer before their own performances.
The song has also been done by artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I really love SRV’s version of this song, it’s longer, but still sticks close to the original by King. Click here for a link of this awesome performance.
But this is a great performance by the King, and he always does a good job on stage.

Enjoy ;-)
