Roger Waters accused producer Bob Ezrin of falsely claiming that David Gilmour recorded the closing solo on “Comfortably Numb” in a single take. The dispute reflects the intense creative disagreements surrounding The Wall, particularly between Waters and Gilmour over the song’s arrangement and mixing.

It interprets the two solos as reflecting Pink’s drug-induced experience: the first suggests an initial high, while the final solo represents a distressed comedown before performing.
