From Roger........
Before lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show "This Is Not A Drill”. I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful vocal solo from one of our new sisters Shanay Johnson. It’s intended as a wakeup call, and a bridge towards a kinder future with more talking to strangers, either in "The Bar” or just “Passing in the Street" and less slaughter “In Some Foreign Field.”Here it is. Love R. The video is by Sean Evans. The mix is by Gus Seyffert

It was a bold move opening his shows with this. I thought it was moving and brilliant.

Nice1 wango,

I like it and i think it shows that roger sees a very deep and dark world and wants the rest of us to understand his take on the whole thing.

Love floyd but ive always had great time for rogers solo stuff.

Huge 80's vibe to that one. I don't go too deep on his solo stuff. His last album, Is This The Life We Really Want ? is my favorite. Something about seeing the music live, makes me like it more.
I did see The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking Tour. But I just can't get into that album.

BTW, I'm a Bill (Billy) as well.

Hard to believe that Roger took both concepts to the band...The Wall and TPACOH, the band wisely chose The Wall.
TPACOH would probably be drastically different with Gilmour, Wright and Mason's input.

That first video is great...even though I was sort of waiting for the guitar solo to kick in eventually. smile
Love the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy style ending. At least it gave me a 'Krikkit Wars' vibe...
