Reason I love this series is Rick Beato makes you appreciate parts of the song you never paid attention to before . He did it on More Than a Feeling which like everyone else Ive heard a billion times but when you isolate Brad Delp's vocals you're blown away . Most recent case was episode 102 with I Still Havent Found.... Its always been a vocal, Edge chiming away song for me but
Beato focuses on Larry Mullen's drum part and its amazing what he did in that song. This is the best thing on YouTube.

My favorite story from that first Boston album is Tom Scholz being told he needed to use the CBS recording studios, and after realizing he was smarter than their engineers, Scholz decided to record the album in his basement. To keep the bosses happy he would send the band to CBS studios but then would bring the band back to his house to re-record the tracks on his own equipment. When it was all done he presented the execs with his version and they realized his was infinitely better.

I am not saying I am 100% correct but the way I heard it was this. Scholz and Delp (vocals) recorded everything at his basement with Tom playing all the instruments on demos. Then they forced him to put the band together after the fact with pros.

Yeah, I think that was certainly true for the drummer.

I love Beato and his highly informative videos, but most of the time I don't think he actually explains what makes this song great.

Rick produced the band Flickerstick from the VH1 show "Bands on the Run". That was a great reality show. Good band too

I thought I was the only one that actually liked that show

He went and did Comfortably Numb

If you like Beato's videos, I can pretty much guarantee that you will LOVE this heartbreaking work of staggering genius.
Fucking awesome.
(It also helps if you have opinions on Weezer, one way or the other).
I am greatly looking forward to Pat's next video.

Comfortably Numb is the greatest song of all time. Have you guys heard Roger Waters lately? He's really going after Gilmour for some reason. What a nasty guy.

Something about liner notes and digging Dave and his wife. Gilmour supposedly took more credit than he really did on recordings.

Comfortably Numb is the greatest song of all time.

"This is a small part of an ongoing campaign by [Gilmour and his wife Polly Samson] to claim more credit for Dave on the work he did in Pink Floyd, 1967-1985, than is his due," Waters adds. "Yes he was, and is, a jolly good guitarist and singer. But, he has for the last 35 years told a lot of whopping porky pies about who did what in Pink Floyd when I was still in charge. There’s a lot of 'we did this' and 'we did that,' and 'I did this' and 'I did that.'"

Gilmour married Samson in 1994; she has served as a late-period co-writer on a number of his songs, both with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist.

Waters also revealed that he used his pandemic-mandated downtime to start work on his memoirs, which he promises will reveal more instances where Gilmour claims too much credit. As an example, Waters cites an interview where Gilmour discusses how an opening cash register loop was edited together for the song "Money," then states that Gilmour wasn't even in the room when it was created.

"The full story of what really happened is in my memoirs! So, I hope that whets your, and David and Polly’s appetites," Waters concludes.

Yeah, it's not even the best Pink Floyd song of all time

Now....if we want to discuss David Gilmour's most soulful and beautiful guitar soloing...or the best song on "The Wall"....perhaps.

Give me your top 5 Pink Floyd songs. Comfortably Numb for me is the perfect example of what makes the Waters/Gilmour collaboration so good. Gilmour brings the light, Waters brings the darkness. Plus, that guitar solo and they don't rip off old black guitarists like that perv Jimmy Page did.

Roger seems like the kind of guy who is never happy. He just refuses to admit that The Wall was greatly improved with Gilmour's input. Dave's demo of Comfortably Numb is the backbone of the song, plus his solo is perhaps the best of all time. I think he also brought Run Like Hell and Young Lust to the album.
