It just might be better than the version they decided to release. The violin really adds a bit of sadness to the song.

That was superb! Really vibrant stereo effect on that as well. It felt like I was sitting amongst the band.

Speaking of violins, this local band do a mean version of Comfortably Numb with a Violin solo, and are usually an afternoon band at music festivals around here.
Strangely, the best rendition I could find was when they played in Canada to pub with about 3 people in it. Maybe WT was one of them? smile

Here's the solo:

It doesn't like the time code. Leave the ?t=374 out and it works.

Well yes, but SimHQ music fans are a discerning bunch, and while it's a competent cover band, I didn't think the first 6 minutes of that was worthy of their time.
...unless there are some who may think being able to show a whole 9 minutes in a Canadian pub without a fight breaking out is remarkable enough. biggrin

The violin solo was definitely the highlight.
