As you may know this version was on The Departed. Rogers part was well perfect Van on the other hand made me want to leave the theater. No disrespect To Van Morrison due to his brilliant carrer but to me he just shouldnt be singing Comfortably Numb. I think what shocks me more is the fact that people say he sounds better than Gilmour. Any way I jsut wanted to know what you guys thoughts about the video is.

I don't know what was worse Vans singing or the second guitar solo. Come to think of it I do. The second guitar solo was awful. There is probebly nothing worse than hearing that solo played badly except the scisor sisters version of CN.

I think they used this version because the film is about Irish cops and the Irish mob in Boston and Van is probably the biggest thing to come out of Ireland since the Shamrock.

For fun you've got to look for the tv version of the concert. There were many errors in the live show which were edited for the album and video. Not the least of which were the horrid, screetching backing vocals by members of 'The Band' during Comfortably Numb. In the released version you can barely hear them until the last chorus. Also, notably Sinead O'Connor's mic totally failed during her performance of Mother. I read on Brain Damage how after the show the cast went back out onto the stage to reshoot the parts that got messed up.

I haven't heard it but I liked it on the 'live in Berlin' wall concert.

Maybe that's just because I enjoy Van Morrisons music more than most other musicians.
