WATCH: Guy Pratt’s Thunderous Bass and Vocals Elevate Gilmour’s “Comfortably Numb” Live in Rome

David Gilmour’s new Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome release gives us another reason to celebrate the connection between Gilmour and longtime bassist Guy Pratt.

This take on “Comfortably Numb” captures Pratt doing what he does best. He locks in deep, handles the vocal parts with ease, and gives the song a steady pulse that feels effortless. His Fender Jazz Bass sounds huge through his Ashdown rig, with that warm and round tone he’s known for.

It’s a reminder of how much Pratt brings to Gilmour’s music. His lines support every moment without ever getting in the way, and his feel keeps the performance grounded while the guitar takes flight.
