There's a ton of live recordings of this song, featuring all sorts of versions of this iconic outro - hats off to Mark and the band, for sheer professionalism, in nailing the best take ever, on camera, as requested!

Mark plays the guitar in such a nonchalant manner where many fail to master in a lifetime even! 😂😂

How a dude can play the hook on his riff 30 different ways In a song and everyone sounds like it belongs in the moment is beyond me. This is the greatest guitar performance I've ever seen. And I love David Gilmour

Maybe not technically the best but one of most soothing and endearing solo of all time along with comfortably numb.

Só uma espécie criada à Imagem de Deus, a Espécie Humana, é capaz de construir uma obra dessa envergadura. Surreal de tão extraordinário. Lindo!!❤

Tik tok showed the solo part a few month ago. Didn't know about it. It is amazing. AND, despite the whole band goes extremely well whit Mark... The musical conversation with the drums are amazing

@JackDaltonlocal

I just wish this performance was available on iTunes. Live performance like others only without the audience clapping, often out of time.

@DCStone-YOSEFJ

@

They need to put this banger on Spotify already

Wow incredible!!!

@hanfootball1367

The only and I mean ONLY thing that could have made this better is at the end they go down to almost silence and then go right back into it. I go to quite a lot of widespread shows and that’s always my favorite part of the improvisation, slowing down to almost silence, the crowd assume your done and it’s time move….but then💥 right back into full volume, it’s magical!!

Record Company: No song over 5 1/2 minutes will ever receive good quality radio time!
Mark: Hold this fucking beer real quick.
