The original version with Waters/Gilmour
The Wall

Here is the one with Waters/Van Morrison

Van/The Departed

Bowie/Gilmour version

Unique, but great as well, imo

I am biased cause I'm a huge Bowie fan. So my answer is Bowie.

I can't even make this a discussion. The original, by miles and miles and miles.

Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb-NOLA 1994

Gilmour has said frequently that this is the definitive best version of Comfortably Numb

Original is by far the best. But that doesn't mean the other versions aren't great.

I know there are some talented people in here.

Somebody mix the Bowie version with the Van Morrison (Basically No Floyd) version.

Just out of curiosity how it might sound.

This is a pretty good amateur cover from a South American band.

neither of the covers vary enough to make them interesting... so I'd have to say the original

People refer to "The Departed" version of the song. It's from Waters' The Wall: Live from Berlin concert.

The original is the best one. No question.
The bowie one is interesting, but any version without Gilmour playing guitar and singing is just bad IMO.
