Barracuda performed by Gretchen Wilson & Alice in Chains.
Excellent music unlike what I heard at the halftime performance of the Super Bowl. Please stop trying to entertain the world with crappy pop performances. Bring back the Rock Bands, U2, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, The Who to name a few.

Comfortably Numb, Roger Waters & David Gilmour, Live, London, 2011.
I wished I would have seen the original production of “The Wall” at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I was a 4-5th year full-time student at Temple University during the formative/passionate years of Classic Rock and Roll. My sister-mother from Alpha Gamma Delta worked at 93.3 WMMR, Joe Bonadonna, was on air radio personality during the afternoon I believe Mark Goodman followed him. Joe gave me a not to be sold LP of “The Wall.” Lots of brilliant rock and roll was exposed in Philly. WMMR was located on the 2nd or 3rd floor overlooking Rittenhouse Square at 19th and Walnut Streets.
I hung out there during live broadcasts with friends from Temple.. Now, that I remember, that was totally awesome. But, back in the day no one was superficial. It was always a party. Music was the magic.
But through the power of the Internet, I can relive and research my days of future past.
BTW, can you tell I become inspired upon brilliant guitar musicians.
Comfortably Numb, Composition, Wiki
According to Rolling Stone, the lyrics came from Roger Waters’ experience when he was injected with tranquilizers for stomach cramps by a doctor prior to playing a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the band’s 1977 In the Flesh tour. “That was the longest two hours of my life,” Waters said, “trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.” The experience gave him the idea which eventually became the lyrics to this song.
