Pink Floyd is a classic example of a band being greater than the sum of its parts.
Exactly!
Same with Led Zeppelin
In the sense that the band sucked without Waters, I agree. But Waters did just fine alone. Very few solo albums are as good as Amused to Death. That's one of the best albums made by a solo artist from a classic band ever. A masterpiece.
@nectarine… I like your sarcasm!
@@nectarinedreams7208my favorite waters solo album is the Final Cut. 😅
The campaign for DG to play 'Seamus' starts here! 😂
Steve Marriott's hound is no longer with us
@@classicalbum Cool. I had no idea that was his dog
@@classicalbum that'd be surprising after 50 plus years 😂 DG could always get a tape of Roger howling away surely?
Perhaps The Narrow Way as well.
I completely agree-Seamus is the classic masterpiece that never got it's due.
"Don't want to go into London without a stab vest on..." ha ha.
Lol.. don't blame ya! tho' worst violence I experienced was in Belfast, Dublin & still suffer to this day with ptsd what happened in Newry. We almost.. died, but my mum put her foot on the accelerator when she saw the flash of the explosion. R.I.P to those British soldiers.
😮
@@nottingtohide FFS, London is nothing like the troubles in N. Ireland
I need to hear "On the Turning Away" live!
Awesome song from DG and yes hearing a live version is so much better re the guitars Gilmours solos and even Tim Renwicks on acoustic .
I would love to hear David perform “Fearless” now..🙏🏽❤️
He won't play it because Waters co-wrote "Fearless."
That's mostly Roger's song, though they share the credit. Roger wrote the brilliant lyrics and came up with the song's unforgettable open-G riff (according to his own telling). David does nice work on it too, but it seems to me very much a Roger song.
If he went on tour,I couldn't afford to go. Ticket prices off the chain.
I was in London in April for a couple of weeks, such a relief to get back to my little Devon village.
Personally, I feel that Cymbaline, Wots The Deal and Free Four deserve more exposure.
Free Four, especially now that he is a man in his old age.
Roger sang lead on “Free Four”, i’d rather hear David do “Fearless” from “Meddle”.
Childhood's End
Green is the Colour is another one
obscured by clouds is underrated, they got into some mostly decent shorter songs
Loved your comment about London. That’s exactly how I feel about the cesspit that passes as our capital!
Really? I'm surprised to hear that, and I'm from America, where senseless violence is an everyday thing.
@@mattrogers1946taking guns away doesn't stop violence. It just makes it more intimate.
No thanks to Khanage.
@@mattrogers1946 Senseless violence in London is now an everyday thing. More dangerous than New York now.
i go to London often, lots of areas, never a problem. Its a great city, A lot of people talking BS and doing it down.
"Fat Old Sun" and "Remember A Day" predated the '70's, while "Comfortably Numb" is practically 1980.
"Fat Old Sun" is 1970....
Cn 79?
No 70s, clearly a primer for him playing The Final Cut in its entirety😂
That's what I thought 😁
That seems highly improbable
@catsofsherman1316 just joking, more chance of hell freezing over 🙂
:)🤣
Love that album!
Gilmour's best '70s Floyd song is Childhood's End and it would be a great addition to the setlist.
Indeed
For Real though, this song would get my $250 ticket paid asap...
AGREE
Great song! One of my all-time favorites.
one of my favourites too. highly underated
The people saying 70s flyod is done to death are as old as DG is and are not considering there are plenty of newer fans that have never seen him play live and dream about hearing those 70s classic songs performed.
1. Upbeat track from new album
2. New track
3. There’s no way out of here
4. Cry from the street
5. In any tongue

7. wearing the inside out.
8. What do you want
9. Sorrow
10. Astronomy

5AM
Nothing from On An Island??
Yet Another Movie, yes ! Fantastic (underrated) song...I'm fond of The Narrow Way, would love to hear it with contemporary sound, like Fat Old Sun. Agree completely with your setlist.
I reckon Dave should play some songs from his first 2 solo albums - there are some cracking tracks on there that could use a little dusting off and refreshen 👍
I have this feeling for some reason that it's about time to revisit All Lovers Are Deranged & Murder
I met David Gilmour when he set of his own burglar alarm in Brighton. I was very surprised as i didn't know it was his house
Are you saying he’s going senile? Lol
I met David Gilmore, so to speak, in an Italian restaurant in Covent Garden back in the 1980s. I was having a quick lunch on my own he walked in with a couple of his kids and looked up and I must’ve given that look that said hey I know you he smiled and sat down on the table next to me. I didn’t bother him or speak to him and when he got up to leave he just turned and nodded and smiled. I so wanted to talk to him being a Floyd fan since the late 60’s!
@@stephenbarrette610Do you regret not talking to him?
@@Tha3rdworldghost I guess if I had left first I might have spoken briefly as I passed his table. But as I noticed him leave, he was only a few tables away, he made a point of making eye contact and nodding, a sort of thanks maybe. I worked at the time for BBC Radio as a freelancer and met many of my music heroes but we never got to book him.
Likewise, I was at an afternoon screening of Caveman, a 1981 ‘comedy’ staring Barbara Bach and Ringo Starr. At the end of this totally forgettable movie, the lights went on, (being a movie geek I always stay to the end of the titles), and two rows back from me in this almost empty cinema in Leicester Square, was Barbara Bach and Ringo. Again I made eye contact with Ringo and he smiled! (He must’ve enjoyed being able to go out in public, compared to 15 years or so earlier …)
They probably hadn’t seen the final cut of the movie, otherwise I can’t think of why they would’ve been there.
Loving your t shirt! Broadsword and the Beast is one of my fave Jethro albums!
First 2 solo album's would be amazing to hear live
I wish Gilmour found a way to fit in the outro of Sheep, one of my all time favourite song endings.
I think he could do it if he played "It's Deafinitely." Same rhythm and time signature of Sheep.
@@flyinpigmusic331 I think Waters insulted his wife, so I doubt he wants to do anything Waters had a hand in.
@@63mckenzie So that disqualifies any Pink Floyd material pre-1987 then
@@nectarinedreams7208 So it would seem.
I wish he’d play stuff from the first solo album, which for me is still his best work outside of Floyd.
I was gifted 3rd row centers for that tour at Massey Hall in Toronto. Thanks for the memories, Dvoira!!🤩🔥
Totally agree, brilliant album with some of his best playing.
Yes, it, at least, has one good song.
Very sad when former band members move so far away emotionally from their origins and refuse to play early classic tracks that they forget that fans still want to hear the great early classics that made them famous.
It's about money, I think . Gilmour really can't bear the thought of having to pay Roger Waters any more money for the songs he plays on tour.
Love the stab vest comment.. 😂
Listening to you for me is like listening to poetry, your command of the English language is exemplary and your dry humour is outstanding. Thank you once again for a brilliant video.
Excellent Tull T. Appropriate for David Gilmour - Pink Floyd discussion. Shine on you crazy diamond!
Syd Barrett ❤
Loved Syd in Floyd and solo records! 👍
@@effdonahue6595 me too I’m a huge fan of him
Yeah, Barrett is the only Pink Floyd band member who might actually be a better songwriter than Waters... but that's just a matter of artistic taste and opinion. Waters is certainly a better producer....
Big up the diamond 💎 ✨️
Yes. Did you like Bowie's cover of See Emily Play?
Mihalis would be perfect to play, as the second or third track, in any David Gilmour live performance.
Absolutely! I really don't know why Gilmour has not played anything from his first solo album in recent years. I'd love to hear the most beautiful song he ever wrote, "So Far Away". But I will settle for Mihalis, the fantastic opener from that album.
agreed!
@@SpaceOdditiesLive "There's no way out of here" is a great song to this day - he could do that but maybe he wants to focus on the post "on an island" material instead.
Agreed!!!
@@aliensporebomb true.
I am perfectly fine with him focusing on later Floyd and solo material. After all, I am paying money to see a David Gilmour concert, not a Pink Floyd concert. I have seen Roger twice covering a large body of 70s material, DSOTM and Wall tours, and recently saw Nick Mason cover early Floyd. So David's set will round that out nicely for me.
This will be my 1st time seeing Gilmour. I was up at 3AM this morning getting tickets. We are making the trek from Regina Canada and planning a UK trip around it. We'll be at the Oct 9 show, then the Australian Pink Floyd Show the following night at the Palladium. I am sure the tribute will hit all the key 70s stuff not in David's set.
So excited.... and very tired. Been up since 2:30.
I saw the Mason tour...Oh man - to anyone reading this, If YOU LOVE OLD Floyd - the Mason tour was FANTASTIC. The versions were spot-on incredible with new life breathed into them. Truly a treat.
@user-tl7mj2bm4m I couldn't agree more. They breathe new life into that material, which made me love it even more. They also look like they are having so much fun up there. They come across as a real band of brothers, and not Nick Mason and some hired guns.
I was 2nd row center for the Vancouver show, one of my most memorable concert experiences.
I concur. I am sick of the 70's Floyd, at least post-Obscured. I want to hear the earlier psych material that they haven't played much.
My best group, but so sad about two great man not being grownups at the moment. Even though I respect Waters more for being honest!
I am going to see him in NYC. I think he will play Comfortably Numb. I saw Roger last year and his version completely eliminated both guitar solos. He said filling his set, so I think we still get a few of them. I hope he does songs from the Division Bell. I loved that CD. My wife loves his acoustic stuff so I hope he plays Smile.
What about Coming Back to Life? Always an uplifting number.
Stuff from David's first solo album would be nice. I still listen to that one more than any of his other solo albums
Would like to hear Gilmour play The Nile Song.
You and me both....That song is like early proto-metal or something. Love that damn song.
One of my early favorites. I love the way they keep moving the pitch of the riff up a step every time it repeats.
Not his style
"The Nile Song" is written by Roger Waters so Gilmour won't be playing that one.
It has probably been played by Nick Mason’s band.
Enjoyed your video. Hoping to DG on tour and his new album. I would love for him to do "Flat Old Sun" Take Care!
I'd love to see him play There's no way out of here, a superb song !
I was surprised to learn that that is a cover
I wouldn’t mind if he just played his solo stuff on tour. Be pretty cool to hear stuff from his first solo album and About Face. Would love to hear “There’s No Way Out Of Here” and “Murder” live.
Really enjoyed Nick’s Saucerful of Secrets project. Those guys are doing justice to the early Floyd material. Wouldn’t mind hearing Gilmour do a strong set of the early stuff as well!
Yeah I saw Mason on his tour-....it was f--king EXCELLENT. Blistering versions of those old tunes.......He had an incredible band with him and they were people who REALLY loved the old stuff.
100% agreed. Nick Mason proved to be the best show.
Works for me. I would love if he included tracks from his first two solo albums which haven't been performed live since the 80s. So many great tracks to chose from.
One tune I’d love to hear that nobody ever talks about is “Near the End” from About Face. I find both the music and the lyrics very beautiful.
The guitar riff on "Near the End" sounds dangerously similar to Roger Waters' riff throughout Pros & Cons...just sayin'
Thanks for another entertaining thought provoker Barry.
I very much agree with you regarding David's first two solo outings. I'm a big fan of "The End" and "Love on the Air" too. "Fat Old Sun" and "Wot's Uh The Deal?" would be real treats if he does dig in to his own Floyd compositions. A couple of covers to be found on TH-cam performed by David that I would absolutely love to hear him do are Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day" and Elvis' Lieber and Stoller penned "Don't." The latter never fails to make me drop my shopping. Sublime.
As usual, there are very few holes I could pick with your own thoughts. Keep up the good work old sport, and thanks.👍
I believe that the set list has more to do with the absence of Richard Wright than snubbing Waters. Gilmour always had Wright around when playing 70s Floyd live, even when solo touring. Perhaps playing without him is intolerable.
I concur. He retired Echoes, Wots Uh the Deal and Wearing the Inside Out. On the last tour, Time and Us and Them was missing Rick. I think he will do Shine On ala 2001-2006 arrangement and WYWH and CN.
Plus songs from AMLoR and TDB, his three later albums (all of the new one).
He done the last tour without Wright, and had fallen out with Carin and it just didn’t sound right at all
@@kevycanavan Do you know why the fall out, he's been with him for decades?
@@zt7489 Perhaps because Carin is loyal to Roger?
@@dingbat19 Carin has hung around them both and has the ability to play with any top band. If roger was such a tyrant to everyone why would Carin, Fairweather - Low, Kisson & Broad play with him for decades? Doesn't make sense.
Not seeing a show because it's in London seems quite restrictive. I travel there quite regularly and haven't been whacked once.
I disagree,my girlfriend's poodle was kidnapped in London and held for ransom, when we got the dog back, it had clearly been violated and had a nasty heroin habit, after several rehab visits,her beloved Snooky finally came back to the real world,but ended up running away with a black Labrador,and moving to Spain
You're lucky then. London is a cesspit.
"Poles Apart" Hell yes!
Would love to hear him play material from his first solo album "David Gilmour".
Also something from "About Face".An extended version of "Obscured by Clouds/When You're In";
and "Lucifer Sam", as encore.
On Any Tongue was extremely powerful on the last tour. I suspect it makes back for this one. I agree with Yet Another Movie. Would love to hear that again..
I would love if he did stuff from his first albums,that would be great those songs have been put away for to many years
We'll see when it happens-just bagged tickets for DG at the RAH at eye watering prices so hopefully it will be a well balanced set-going to see Nick Mason so will get a good dollop of early Floyd!
Would definitely love to hear DG play stuff of his first 2 solo albums which are often overlooked gems.
Waters is a control freak, Gilmour is a musician.
And my old hound dog sat right down and cried.
My band opened for Roger Waters in 2001 and they wouldn't let us see the so called God of music.
Waters Ego is what caused the rift between them and he wanted it where if its not his way then its no way .he treated Richard White like Shite and why Richard left the band and came back when Waters himself left the band .
Exactly thats the Difference
but a genius , and a better lyricist than Polly Samson by a million miles ?
As someone who saw the “Animals” tour in ‘77 and the very first concert of “The Wall” in 1980 in LA, I'd be happy to see any thing by any of the band members even if no PF songs were involved. I moved on from those days to different musical interests but still appreciate all my PF albums, Roger albums and David albums. I’ve seen Roger live I think 4 different tours since, but no PF or David tours. I’d love to see David this year doing whatever he would be doing. Even if that means no PF songs. Just enjoy and move on. I read all the comments here and appreciate all of them except for the person that said he was bored with your dull video. I find you to be well spoken and knowledgeable about music.
I GOT TICKETS FOR THE SHOW!!!
Me too! Likely the last one so legendary!
I'm gutted I never got the tickets I went the pulse concert in 94 earls court and Paris in 2006 really wanted to take my daughter to this one I took her to new york msg to see waters few years ago gutted we've missed out on this one ut I'm not giving up on tickets yet
Me, too!!! I never saw PF live, and I was so afraid I’d never get to see David Gilmour! Bucket list event, for sure!!! So excited!!!
From a musical point of view I totally agree: I want to hear new stuff, not the same old stuff churned out again and again. I'm glad Gilmour has finally ditched the Pink Floyd moniker (when you refer to tribute bands performing their classics, the biggest one of those was the one that went by the name of 'Pink Floyd' after Waters left, which gave us dross like A Momentary Lapse of Reason). As you say, the essence of Pink Floyd was Gilmour's emotive playing, Richard Wright's Keyboards, Nick Mason's subtle metronomic drumming and Roger Waters cynical/realistic worldview lyrics. Endless guitar w***athons alone are not enough. Polly Sampson has merit as a poet in her own right but her words can never match Waters. I guess only Gilmour knows the reason for omitting the 70s material and whether it was done as a snub, but as a fan of the music I don't care, if (and it's a big 'if'), the music is good.
However, it is such a shame that the potential reconciliation indicated by the Live8 reunion has gone awry with the gap between Waters and Gilmour/Sampson getting wider. It is a shame when people can't just agree to disagree on a particular political issue and respect each others rights to believe in a different view of the facts.
@@pavinder Suzanne was the Yoko in Styx to Dennis DeYoung's Lennon and Tommy Shaw is the Roger Waters character.
Sadly I think you may be correct. At least she doesn't try to 'sing' on his albums! Yet.. @@pavinder
"...songs written by Polly Samson" 🙄 Lyrics are not the entire song.
Exactly
I thought the same thing 👍
It would be epic if David played from 1978 "David Gilmour" and 1984 "About Face" albums .... particularly "No Way Out Of Here" and "Murder" please ....
He could play Childhood's End, About Face material and Division Bell stuff and I'd be pretty happy. On An Island had a few good tunes as well.
Agreed. From London Calling to London Falling.
Great vid thanks.
Wow!
Would love a set list as you proposed. Great songs there!
looking forward to the album come summers end
Would love to see him do Summer 68 as a tribute to Rick, I think when he says no 70's he means from DSOM to The Wall. So it leaves some fascinating possibilities, I read he was taking some different musicians out this time, people who like to experiment a little so we might get some interesting interpretation's of older stuff. I'll put money on him singing live, unlike Rog & The Eagles, etc. Love the video for the new single & fantastic to see the mighty Steve Gadd on drums, my guess is this show will be about musicianship more than anything else. Other songs I'd like to see: Paintbox, Bike, Careful With That Axe Eugene, Fearless, A Pillow OfWinds, Mihalis, I Can't Breathe Anymore, Let's Get Metaphysical (will need string section!) & as "was not expecting that" cover how about When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease" by Roy Harper. He could use the brass band from Summer 68 - it works! Could be the greatest show ever...
I can see him inviting Pete Towshend to do "Love on the Air" or "All Lovers Are Deranged" He is doing a multi-night stand so he has an opportunity to get Roy Harper to join him for "Short and Sweet". He could get Kate Bush to do a song or two. I'd love to see him do "A New Machine/Terminal Frost/A New Machine" off A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I would assume Nick Mason would join him for something from Floyd's early days, "Fat Old Sun" would be a good choice like you suggest. I hope he does a couple shows in the US.
And Geldof could jump over the wall and shout "give us ya money" lol sorry.
Sing The Dirty Jobs with Roger Daltrey or play from any White City tracks.
Another very interesting video. Love your stuff.
Thank you very much!
You're 💯 %right , keep well outa stab City.
Learning to fly could be another one too the set list.
I saw Pink Floyd at Oakland Coliseum in 1993! It was the most magical music experience of my life! I love the newest song from Gilmour! I’m highly (no pun intended) looking forward to his newest work!
The won't go to London without a stab vest comment made me laugh in a gallows humour way.
Always felt that on his post Floyd solo tours he has shamefully overlooked his first two solo albums. They contain some great tracks that have rarely been played live and a long overdue a revisit.
Long overdue doesn't describe it......EXTREMELY LONG OVERDUE is more like it!
Those albums are far better than his recent solo stuff probably because they’re Samson free zones.
I would still pay to see it
Yes, David and many Pink Floyd tribute bands have played Shine On You Crazy Diamond (IMO, Floyd's best song), almost, it may seem, ad infinitum, but it's nearly always Parts 1-5, rarely Parts 6-9, and NEVER Parts 1-9 (complete). And it is the complete version that should be played. Because the song is split into two on Wish You Were Here, bookending the album featuring it, I don't think Floyd even played the complete version after the album's release (1975), so the only live version we know about is the much simpler version they played in 1974. But the song DESERVES to be played in full. To my mind, splitting it like this is like splitting a Beethoven symphony and saying, well, you can have one half or the other, but not both. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of WYWH. I live in hope (but I suspect in vain) that we can at least get an official digital release of Shine On Parts 1-9 as part of that. As a fan of great music I feel this should have existed for public consumption, delectation and delight, many years ago.
The Wall is basically an 80s album. Comfortably Numb was released as a single in '80
Yes and no. The whole production is very 70s. The concept, the ambition, the production, all deeply 1970s. But it certainly transitioned us from one decade to the next.
I agree. Bob Ezrin production and the double album concept was pretty 70's fare. I think Bob Ezrin deproduced the sound into a more big real American record.
I can't imagine him not doing Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Run Like Hell.
Just like Nick Mason is revisiting pre-Dark Side stuff, it would be nice if Gilmour did something like that, but then featuring his own material: The Narrow Way III, Fat Old Sun, Childhoods End, plus indeed a tribute piece for Barrett and Wright.
Then of course some songs from later FLoyd: On the turning away, Sorrow, High Hopes, What do you want from me.
Both High Hopes and On the turning away could serve as an end to a half show, I guess.
One Slip as an encore? Maybe... Dogs? (that indeed includes a lyric by Waters)
Of course as mentioned a best-of from his last solo album plus at least a song from every other solo album he did.
Let's be honest, the post-Waters-Floyd has pretty much played every seventies Floyd track forever.
He has also said he will be playing the new album in its entirety so I think 10 songs are from that
The 70s pink Floyd music was some of the greatest music ever wrote or performed. I do understand the problem between Waters and Gilmore. And if pushed I'd have to side with David. After never being able to catch Floyd live. I would have killed to catch them live,but being a working man I couldn't just grab a jet to catch them in Pompeii or Berlin or hop a bus and follow them all over Europe to catch every show.
I'm not that excited about David's album or tour. And even less now that he's said no 70s tunes. I bought the island album without listening to any of it and gave it away after listening to it once. I really don't care for David's solo work except his self-titled album with noway out of here I thought was a very good effort. But I hate to say it most of his own songs especially the island was a album of elevator music! And if he's dropping the 70s Floyd tunes from his show then I have no interest in wasting my time or money to see him.
I took my grandson to see Roger Waters sbout a year snd a half ago that concert was do good. It was amazing. My grandson loved it. It was sold out great concert
I always liked Raise My Rent from his solo work.💗
I would love to hear Summer ‘68
That was Rick Wright song
I'm there with anyone voting for "Yet Another Movie". It's one of those texture-rich works, thanks to those layered sounds and I'd say, an endless ocean of musical palettes. In the studio it was Pat Leonard's session work, live versions relied on Rick and Jon Carin. One is gone forever, another - not on very good terms with David, but it someone could fill in their shoes properly. It just requires right keyboard players, who could recreate the effect of the original version. So this one particularly does not completely rely on guitars, it needs deeper work.
I saw him at the Albert hall (not the night with Bowie thought) after failing to get to tickets in Manchester. If he can't be bothered to come up here I can't be bothered to go down to the smoke!
I've pre-ordered the Atmos mix,that'll do me.
Your recommendation is excellent. Rather than it being a personal snub, I think David just doesn't want to pay Roger any royalties - so he will just avoid anything Roger wrote. In any case, I prefer Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets - it's the Pinkest and Floydiest.
He didn't say no 1970s Floyd - he said "not much" of it. I imagine he'll play Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb - anything else is up in the air. To be honest, I'm not bothered; more room for stuff like On the Turning Away, Yet Another Movie, Sorrow, Marooned, Astronomy Domine. Maybe we'll get a surprise.... hopefully not Hey Hey Rise Up though.... I'm thinking Murder or Short and Sweet.
Absolutely 💯💯💯
If Gilmour does remove 70s Floyd, I agree with your preferred setlist, because of its balance and inclusion of his first solo album. A good representation from there please! I know many will expect Floyd but why not play more solo work? After all, that is how the gigs are badged.
Yesterday I was thinking of some (a few actually) to add to the setlist. Childhood's End, The Narrow Way (parts I and III), Terrapin, One of These Days (virtually instrumental and the bass line is his), Astronomy Domine. Besides, I would love to hear a version of Matilda Mother.
Like with Nick masons band which just covers the early pink Floyd I think David will do the same because the early songs involves a lot of improvisation which for the musicians involved is a lot of fun and played differently from night to night and will be something different for the audience as well rather than any intended snub of Roger Waters and David's last 2 solo albums do have some really fine songs and the new single off the new album is already being enjoyed by many people
Great video! Your hopeful set list is very similar to what I would love to see. Definitely the majority, if not all, of the new album. I'd like to see him get back to playing the current album he's touring front to back. Beyond that, I would imagine we'd get Sorrow, One Slip, and High Hopes to close out the first set. Set two would start with Castellorizon/On An Island I would think. Then in no particular order, I want to see There's No Way Out Of Here, Short and Sweet, Murder, Faces Of Stone, Until We Sleep, Let's Get Metaphysical, Fat Old Sun, Faces Of Stone, Rattle That Lock, In Any Tongue, Take A Breath, the closer from Rattle That Lock to close set two (I can't think of the name of it atm) and the encore to be Astronomy Domine, See Saw, and Comfortably Numb. Regardless, I really would like to see the first two albums get some love, especially the first one.
I remember when David Gilmour wanted to retired and live in Brighton and he wanted to open a shop for surfing; but then he stood in London and reformed Pink Floyd for the Live 8.
Whatever Dave Gilmour desiseds to play. On his latest concert and it be brilliant I'll be buying the dvd when it comes out
I love Floyd, have done since I first heard them in 67, but due to being outside the country (I was in the merchant navy for twenty years) or just not being able to get a ticket I have not been able to see them as a band or individually since Knebworth in '75. Actually I wouldn't mind seeing DG play that set list as High Hopes, Astonomie Domine, Fat Old Sun and Remember a Day are among my favourite Floyd songs anyway. He could also do Childhoods End, which I believe he has played live in the past. Like you, I don't go to London these days either, so it is unlikely I will be attending. I probably wouldn't be able to get a ticket anyway, should imagine they'll sell out in seconds. If he played nearer to my home, say Manchester or Liverpool I would be more inclined to try and get a ticket.
That's a good thing. I like people to play their new material, not the old stuff.
Agreed. I can't speak for any musicians, but if I'd been on that level of fame, I'm sure it would bother me a bit if crowds indicated that they're not interested in my new work and just want to see me do the same things I've done x times before. Of course, it's a business where promoters also have a say in set lists and there's the whole "give the paying masses what they want" sentiment - and that's where the big money is to ensure a comfortable life. It's never easy for musicians to do only what they want, so I admire those who take a stand and give pleasure to people like us who are interested in new material.
nice tshirt, great album
I think it was Neil Young that I heard story about where he played a new album in its entirety which annoyed the audience as they wanted to hear some classics. When the shouting subdued, he asked if they'd like to hear songs they'd heard before and they all shouted yes, so he played all the new stuff again.
......your set list is a good one. About face is a great album and tracks should be heard.
This rift between the two( if true) has worked well for them and the band, securing income, now including Mason, on three fronts. Very clever marketing in my view.
Whatever is released or played live, there are millions of followers like me,hoovering up the candy.
Welcome to the machine.😎☯️
Great and cool shirt…very rare I thought
The material that Nick Mason is playing is the stuff I like hearing. But I know Gilmour will not do much of it because it was mostly written by Waters. I’ll miss Gilmour’s guitar work in Echoes. So it’s Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets for me!!!
YES. The first solo album is great. He didn’t like the second but it’s got some good stuff.
David’s tour ads feature Comfortably Numb, so bit of a problem there…
Music from the body
D.G has never played anything off his first two solo albums that I'm aware of, such a shame as his first album has some of his best work.
He did on his 1984 tour.
Would be great to hear some songs from the first Gilmour solo album. I'd opt for Short And Sweet and I Can't Breathe Anymore, which I've always thought was aimed at Waters
It's high time David revisited Cymbaline, Corporal Clegg, would be a bit of fun, and as a nod to his dearly departed old friend, Roger, the Roger he liked, AKA, Syd, Flaming , was one David the newbie floyd member would sing in Syd's absence, close the show with comfortably numb/fat old sun...that'd be epic.
Pretty sure Corporal Clegg is a Roger Waters song (and maybe his first political song?).
