Comfortably Numb performance by Roger Waters and David Gilmour at the O2 London

Date: December 5, 2011

On December 5, 2011, David Gilmour teamed up with Roger Waters at the O2 in London for a special live rendition of 'Comfortably Numb.' At this point in his career, Gilmour was basking in the glow of his solo legacy, with his latest studio album, 'On an Island,' released in 2006. Although he had taken a step back from the spotlight in the years leading up to this concert, he had recently enjoyed a resurgence in live performances, particularly with Pink Floyd’s reformation shows. This collaboration with Waters, though bittersweet for fans yearning for a full reunion, showcased the enduring chemistry between these rock icons. A tidbit: this particular performance is especially memorable not just for the song but also for the palpable connection between Gilmour and the audience, making it a rare glimpse of their shared history on stage.
