Absolutely not!
It blows every other version I've heard out of sight. |
Apart of Julia Dream I have found "Pink Floyd Revisited" so poor that probably I haven't given enough attention to Comfortably Numb. I'm about to give it a spin. The problem is Bryan's vocals. Nothing to say about his guitar, instead. |
Bryan Josh's vocals are a matter of taste, but Heather Findlay compensates any time. Their version of Echoes is also stunning, though not quite as good as Floyd's. |
We may move to a MA appreciation thread

The original of course, but I also really enjoyed the Gilmour-Bowie version.

I've relistened to it and my opinion doesn't change. I really don't like that version even with Heather singing.

I voted other: Billy Sherwood and Chris Squire, with Sherwood singing the verses and Squire on the chorus. Great guitar and drum work, and even a mandolin interlude.

I too love the Mostly Autumn version, but not as much as the original, which still blows my mind away.

Yeah, it's a nice version, with a few added elements that sound nice. But I still think the guitar falls short of Gilmour... I'm guessing it's Sherwood playing it.
