I am a pretty damn good bass guitarist, and here was a 22 year old slip of an Aussie girl eating my lunch and kicking my ass. Tal Wilkenfeld is the Real Deal.

Toward the end of the song The Final Cut, in fact. Great stuff.

I find it kind of healing for some reason. I play it when I'm struggling. Zaps me right back to a time when things were simpler.

Gilmour kicks ass!

There are so many great ones. I love this one. The addition of David Crosby and Graham Nash adds points for me.

Once, as noted, on Comfortably Numb.

His concluding solo, on steel, on High Hopes tears my heart out every time I hear it. The aching sense of loss in this is indescribable and nearly unbearable.
