I was there too that evening at the third highest row on the southern tribune. This concert was the best of my life. Our seats were cremt covered by the main hang but by a sidefill hang. Although we didn’t have the stereo effect some middle seats had, still I gotta say this was the best sounding concert I ever whitenessed. And as you say, guitar sound was 100/10. If you want any of the recordings let me know:)
It's very sad that David is getting old, everyone gets older with every new day. But I have great respect for what he does at his 78. I’m not even sure that I’ll live to that age, much less play the guitar)). In any case, I wish him long life and many more concerts. He is a very dear person to me, although I have never met him❤.
He's a dear person to all of us. Some more than others. I certainly can't imagine the day we lose him. Same goes for Roger too btw. Roger's vision is extraordinary and he's a really cracked head genius idol of mine!
I was there on 3rd of October, 2nd row. What struck me most was the SOUND. Guitar sounded phenomenal, bass was sooo fat and I could hear every instrument and every singer without any problems. 11/10 for me.
I was in the left tribune on October 3rd and I was impressed by the same thing! Right when the first notes started I thought "Wow! I never heard a guitar like this! Even in the albums!". And not only the guitar, the full mix sounded really good as well! 😊
@@mustyguitar Congrats for the channel! I was in sept 29th. Row 54 but when he played the first note of 5AM it just cut the whole Circo Massimo as a knife through butter if you let me the comparison. Powerful and crystal clear. Sound was amazing I just was unlucky with a couple of drunk disrespectful guys in the following row.
Let me tell you, i was there on the last day. Heavy rain as people were entering. The rain stopped for the whole show and it started rain again at the end. David was great. Comfortably numb was amazing.
One of the huge problems in what you heard was your physical location. To really hear the best sound, but not ever the best view, you have to get a seat right in front or right behind the FOH sound board or booth. The whole show is designed to sound best by the guy running the board. All that said, it will be interesting to see this show improve over time. DG hasn't toyred in how long? Yeah, it sounds like it has been that long.
Many of us wont have the oportunity to see him playing live for the rest of our lives. I missed 1994 división bell tour in México as I was just 14 years old. And it makes me cry because DG and all my guitar heroes are getting old. Im glad you enjoyed to the fullest.
Hey there! First of all, I'd like to say "thank you Musty!", I discovered your channel recently and, from what I had the opportunity to see, the quality and the quantity of your Gilmour-related material is really impressive. The time and the dedication put in your work are palpable... wish you the best and I hope you will keep going for long! Second, I was in Rome, October 1st. As you said while talking about the setlist, the second part of the concert was not so "rich" as the first one in terms of guitar performances, but, in my opinion, the combo "The Great Gig in the Sky" - "A Boat Lies Waiting" was easily one of the best moment of the show. I know... David was only playing slide guitar and the main focus was the choir, but the sensations and the emotions they were able to convey in that context were overwhelming. After A Boat Lies Waiting ended, I turned to my father and he was basically crying, my eyes got teary too... best musical experience I've ever had :') Said that, 28 or 78 years old, I don't mind, Gilmour is still one of the best guitarist on this planet. Long live David
Thank you for your kind words! I think my young age got to me. I can't relate to songs like "A Boat Lies Waiting" or "Sings" from the new album, JUST YET. And what a great moment for a father and son! I wish I had a son or daughter I'd take. I just took my girlfriend who knows only half of the songs xD
That was a fantastic review, excellent stuff! Really interesting and honest and musically right on. I first saw David play in London 1969....still on the journey, a wonderful relationship. I shall check out your solos of his work.
I was blessed to be able to attend the show on the 3rd of October. I still can’t fully believe I was there. The rain was a test, but what a blessing it was when the show started despite everything
I was there on the 1st October. Best night of my life, when he hit that first note on 5am, god it was emotional. He was incredible. Only disappointment was that I was on the left stand quite far to the back, and a cameraman was right in front of me, blocking David a lot of the time. But hey, doesn’t matter, I was there and he was in close proximity to me😭. Glad that you had an amazing experience! Wish I could have got some better seats a lot closer but oh well.
He sounds amazing live. Im glad I saw him in 2015. Missed this one due to ridiculous ticket access, the cost and the fact I'll never go to London to see ANYONE if they wont come to Scotland. He remains an icon. So what if he can't sing amazing all of the time. Good on him. And good on him for doing it all for real.
I saw Pink Floyd in 1988 Sydney and 1994 Seattle, Roger Waters in 2011 St Petersburg and 2012 Brisbane, Nick Mason in 2023 Brisbane... every concert was insanely brilliant!!!
I'm a huge fan of Roger but I haven't seen any of his shows. I was working so much (I still do, lol.) so I missed his shows. I'm waiting Roger to announce another tour perhaps...
@@mustyguitar you definitely should be in a PF cover band but as the guitarist, I've seen 2 of them and they are awesome, also saw one that played with a full orchestra...
No way! You were there the same day as me. I was in line 44. I had a great view. When he started playing Marooned, I completely lost it. That song was only played 3 times live before this tour, and I just couldn't believe it. Another highlight was the light show during Sorrow. Talk about art. And lastly, as a huge Division Bell fan, I was really happy with the many songs he performed from that album.
You had better view than me Cedric. All I saw was ton of metal and a little bit Gilmour xD We share the same taste I guess, Marooned and Sorrow were definitely my favorites too.
I was there on this day too. Had seats on the side tribune, row 6. Amazing sound. Was really happy to hear Marooned as it is so rare as live performance. High Hopes was definitely a highlight for me, it was so cool to see the balloons bounce around from a little higher perspective, added to the atmosphere. Sorrow was a killer, the lightning, the bass, the seats if not even the whole tribune was shaking, 10/10. Also loved Fat old Sun. Was a tiny bit disappointed by In Any Tongue and the second solo of Comfortably Numb, but still, legend. I really enjoyed the solos of David and Ben during A great day for freedom. Between two Points and Scattered were lovely, but the solos could have been longer, agree. I found Great Gig in the Sky quite touching, but granted, its not the original one. Also, during the band introduction, he forgot Rob and said "Fuck" which I got on video, hilarious. Tbh, the best concert I have been to so far and I feel so happy&lucky that I got the experience the master himself at least once.
@@drunkensumo Yeah, him forgetting Rob was an unintentional highlight for sure. The reaction when he realized it was priceless. But hey, at that age it was impressive how much of the songs he was able to remember.
Great review, man! I loved every second of the concert. It pains me to see him aging, but that is also a great reminder to all of us. Nothing is eternal (but his beautiful solos!).
It's so nice to see how much Gilmour's sound has influenced young people like OP. Amazing Gilmour chops too. As a Pink Floyd fan for over 45 years, this is wonderful! I can also tell the difference in taste - OP likes the newer stuff, On An Island and In Any Tongue. I do too, but they don't compare to the older classics line Comfortably Numb!
Everyone rushing to the front during scattered and then shouting for comfortably numb as he faked the ending of the concert, is the best moment of the concert for me
I don't know why there's a thing called "encore". Can someone really explain it to me? Every band and every show has an encore. Terrible fake. Maybe I don't understand the logic behind it...
@@lt.reubenrozeyt5716 is that the only reason? if so, respect... got nothing more to say. but still it looks funny that they leave for 20 second and come back.
@@mustyguitarit is to walk offstage and hear audience reaction-great response, they go back and play a couple more; not a great response, they go home. BTW-love your videos man!! 👍👍
We did the same thing for the Wednesday night show. Seats in Row 4 - really outstanding show. It was a yolo thing for my wife and I who were huge fans...If you all can do it, go see the good Sir.
Thanks for your interesting review. I was there 20th row on October 1st (the show after yours, because they did'nt play on Monday). It was wondeful . I agree I some solos maybe we expected a little more, especially in Confortable numb... But it was nice to see him!
Pretty fair review. I was at the 2 Oct show. I flew halfway around the world for this show, and wasn't disappointed - and first time I've ever been in Rome. I saw Pink Floyd in Jan/Feb 1988 in Sydney. I've since seen Roger play here live, and Nick & Guy last year, so it was great to finally get to see David play again. All I'm going to say is that I wish I could make the shows in Royal Albert Hall! Rome was a bit of a warm up for the band and crew, so I think it will be even better for an indoor venue.
Thx for the review. Going to the Gardens in Nov with my wife who had never listened to Pink Floyd before I met her 30 years ago. (yes I'm that old) She is a classical/ opera singer and loves his music now. . Will be my 3rd and her first time seeing him live. Cannot wait.
Surprised you dont like a great day for freedom... subjective of course but for me , that studio version is my favorite Gilmour solo. so happy to see it on the setlist, very excited for MSG NOV. 4
Was there for the first night, row #4, between the center of the stage and the PA on the right. I thought: "man, my wife will kill me. It will be excruciatingly loud." Nop... quite the opposite. She enjoyed the show, I could hear all the instruments perfectly, at a very pleasant volume. Fantastic show! I have to agree with you. The Muff tones were glorious. And I was lucky, I believe: In any tongue is one of my favs and he nailed the solo in the first show. Still have some goosebumps, just by remembering it...
Dude, I was there the same day. man really one time experience in life. I love what you're doing and appreciate all your effort. keep on rocking bro. thanks for meticulous analysis, like always learn alot from you. thanks a million. 🙏🙏🙏
I dont know how it was for the people over there but for someone seeing the show on my screen I felt the baloons where awesome! The video of High Hopes is pure art and the part with the baloons is my favourite. Setting up baloons that are very similar to the video is an awesome immersive idea. They even printed the "P" logo of Pink Floyd on it! :)
yeah it was something. I punched like 3 balloons xD it was awesome for sure. I'm just interested in the music rather than the show. maybe I shouldn't be this annoying and enjoy it.
@@mustyguitar The slide guitar solo at the end of "High Hopes" is one of my all time favourite Pink Floyd solo, it has that post Roger Water modern Pink Floyd sound. I saw it in 2006, it was amazing. Here at the 2024 show it is different, you are invited to look at the video while they play and once the baloons get released on the video they get released in real life, I think it is a very clever immersion.
Que experiência incrível! Fico imaginando se o Gilmour tem ideia do que esse cara que ficou o olhando fixamente por 10 segundos também consegue fazer com uma guitarra. Imagino como seria a reação do Gilmour vendo algum vídeo seu. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco esse momento incrível.
I enjoyed this video, wasn’t bored for a second. This is a great channel for all tones Gilmour. Jealous that you got to see him on this tour. I saw him in the On an island tour. I was in the 3rd row in a much smaller venue. He did Shine on & Echoes and Rick was there too.
I wonder how the tones may sound different in an enclosed venue like the Albert Hall. It's often said that open air stadiums can be very dependent on conditions and other factors. I'll report back after Wednesday
Hey Mustafa. I'm sure it must've been ur most unforgettable moment when DG looked at you like that 😅. I travelled all the way from India for the 2nd Oct show and my Dream, literally a dream came true. Was lucky to have the Gold class tickets and those merchandise for memorabilia sake 😀 but what an unforgettable experience I had.. personally I felt that the best performance on that night was Dark & velvet nights & scattered. Even in any tongue was master class. Felt as if I was right in the centre of my dream.
Hey Musty, nice video! I went to the 1st of October night, and I'm still recovering from it 🤣. For me, the night's highlight was Sorrow, the sound of the Muff combined with the RA-200 was incredible, the whole place was shaking. I think he kept the RA-200 mixed 50/50 with the WEM cabinets for the entire concert as he did in 1994 with the Doppolas. If you listen closely, you can hear the high-frequency "whirling" sound of the rotary speakers in almost every solo.
I got torn apart on the comments for one concert clip... all because I said that I was sad that he'd finally lost his singing voice (Time, A Great Day For Freedom and Coming Back to Life were really hard to watch). I've never heard him struggle so much and it really upset me. He's my guitar idol and I love that voice. People were rude, insulting me... it got really ugly. I ended up deleting the comment just to stop it all. Honestly it was quite unsettling.
you should REALLY not watch Paul McCartney in concert then.... Unfortunately the man's voice is completely gone, to the point where it sounds absolutely awful to listen to if it was anybody else, but the audience does not care one bit because it's Paul f'ing McCartney! Dave's voice by comparison is still phenomenal. For the songs off the latest records, his voice is perfect, but the oldies they're really meant for a younger Dave, and to be honest we're just happy that he still performs them to us, regardless if he hits every note or not..
yeah people really love tearing each other. nobody listens or cares anymore. that really bothers me. I'm VERY careful with my words, VERY. but people can't even stand even the slightest comment that they don't agree.
I went to the concert the day after you, and I agree with everything you said. For me, the overall experience was amazing. The sound was fantastic, and the location was spot on. It was a unique experience. And yes, ‘Marooned’ was the biggest surprise (by the way, he plays it differently every day). Hearing ‘Numb’ from the front row is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
I'm interested in how much it cost to go to the concert in Rome. I looked and saw prices around 160 euro, if thats correct I could fly to rome have a room in a hotel and its cheaper than 1 night at The Royal Albert hall, the Cheapest seat is around 800 euro. Proces look similarly cheap in the US part of his tour. I wonder why UK fans are being ripped off 1
Sorry. I love uncle David...but....I keep thinking that people don't understand and always use David's age as an excuse. I can forgive the state of his voice and some imperfections in the guitar. This is clearly due to the passage of time. What is unforgivable is the wrong choice of musicians. Apart from the bassist and the keyboardist: The Webb Sisters (the choir) were excellent for Leonard Cohen, but for a Floydian choir, they didn't have enough power. The version of "A Great Gig in the Sky" sounds very interesting, but it fails to move. The low-quality setlist. It starts with "5AM" and then with "Black Cat," which have no connection to each other. Poorly linked. Leaving out "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and insisting on "Sorrow" instead of doing the "Castellorizon" + "On an Island" duo, where the latter I believe is the last wonderful creation with the best solo he has ever done. In "In Any Tongue," the guitarist doesn't make it. Bring in the choir from "Live at Pompeii." And finally, even though Gilmour has always been more restrained with visual effects as a solo artist, the lighting effects were completely disjointed, without the magic we're used to. In the solo of "Comfortably Numb," there is no buildup from less to more. I leave with the impression that the band came to finish rehearsing in Rome to perform better in London and the United States.
I agree about the lightning on CNumb outro solo. The lights and laser effects are completely random, with no connection to the music. Seems like they put on an "auto-lightning" effect that would switch all possible light settings on and off randomly. Awful.
I saw the concert on the First night and honestly, for me has been a bittersweet experience. Maybe because it was the first night, maybe because is getting older but I saw him a little bit "lost".. he made some mistakes on the guitar and often stuck on the same notes. I enjoyed the concert as well but to me has been tough to finally realize that your main hero got old and is no more "invincible". In every case you're right regarding the tone, you hear that is still there
Very interesting video and great channel - I just stumbled upon it! Btw: I was in Rome on 2nd of October and at the beginning of the show Guy Pratt said that the show is being recorded (probably for a future live release)! Did he say that before the other shows as well?
I saw him in 2016 and it was incredible. I think he’s losing his voice though, specially in floyd songs one can see he struggles. There was this whole thing about him not wanting to play some of water’s songs but i think is just that he can’t anymore. It’s ok, the inevitability of time, ironically.
2016 gilmour was still really rocking but 2024 gilmour struggling, obviously. that's okay, that's life. I wish I was fortunate enough to see him during 2006, 2016. I was in my fathers balls during PULSE tour of course.
I love the fact David's making mistakes on his songs it just adds to the charm and overall authenticity of his performances. And let's not forget he's 78, his entire career, his performances from the age of twenty two, have been absolutely steller. He's got nothing to proove to any of us anymore.
I have been to about 12 or 13 Brit Floyd concerts and I have found that sitting very close to the front in the middle is obviously great visually, but not ideal for tone and clarity on guitar. The guitar parts depending on what other instruments are being played are sometimes muddy, bass heavy and just not clear overall, and I would assume you were probably experiencing some of that also. I will say there is a difference between those two because Brit Floyd uses the AXE FX digital platform so most of there sound comes through the big stacks of speakers on the left and right of the stage. David Gilmour he still uses analog equipment with all of those amps and cabinets so I would assume there is a good amount of sound just coming from those which would have been right in front of you from what I could see off to the left of Gilmour. I was lucky enough to get a ticket to see Gilmour on this coming Nov 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, but I wont be sitting in the front as I had a hard time justifying $900 for a ticket. I will be right next to the mixing desk basically on the other end of the court so I would think audio should be great.
yeah sound-wise you're better off. I just wanted to see the guy up close. I wanted to buy another ticket for another day, something like 20th or 30th row, but I couldn't :D
I am glad David missed some bends, was a little sharp and flat on some notes. And that the performance wasn't perfect. And so what??? Like you say he's 78 years old but - above all - it shows he is playing LIVE!!! Unlike quite a few other artists out there unfortunately... especially one David knows VERY well. Kudos to DG and his wonderful band for keeping it real. Looking forward the Royal Albert Hall show.
@@mustyguitar Someone on another site suggested David deliberately messes some guitar up to "prove" its live to troll his ex bestie Roger! I'm not sure about that but its a funny idea!
Hi Mustafa, It sure was. It must have been quite an experience. Concerning “Coming back to life”, for me, it played 1 half tone lower. Surely to adapt with his voice a little tired. I really regret not having been there to see “Sorrow” and “Marooned”. I can't wait to see the DVD and especially your work on it. 😉😋
@@mustyguitar The only thing that comforts me is the fact that I've already seen them 2 times on the 1994 “PULSE” tour in France. But then... the chances of seeing it one last time are slim now.
I saw him as Pink Floyd at Texas Stadium, 1988 and 94. 6th row center each time. I watched his shows in Poland and Pompeii. All seemed to be perfection to me. Something is off with this concert. They are not as tight, a lot of pitch issues, and he seems to be having difficulty hitting notes while singing and harmonies were somewhat off key. Even with that, I find myself playing his current show over and over. He is a master at what he does. When he laughs it off I feel he is just an amazing human. His songs project that as well. He has nothing to prove to anyone and just enjoys playing. He has been a hero to me since 1973 when I first heard Dark Side. I love that he has brought his daughter into the band, passing the torch, and she is just as amazing.
I was at that show and I'm totally with you on Marooned. An out of this world experience, both in tone and melodies. It shows his unique approach to guitar playing. Interestingly, it seemed to me that it was easier for him to play the Red Strat, as he struggled a bit with the Black Cat strat in some songs. In the new songs, especially Scattered, I was hoping for improvisations, but he stuck to the safe studio versions. Probably he will get more confident later in the tour and that's why I would prefer they were filming e.g. in Hollywood Bowl. Thanks for the video!
Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Royal Albert Hall gigs, and then the American ones; and how the set list, solos, etc mature throughout the tour.
That’s just your opinion man! Kidding 😂. As an aficionado, of course you’re going to be critical. Saw PF on the Division Bell tour. Long time ago. Like you said, as a huge fan, once in a lifetime thrilling experience.
I saw him in 2006 at Radio City, and in 2015 at MSG. I liked the 06 show more because i got to see Rick there too, and Echoes was just about the greatest live experience I've ever seen in my life. I noticed he has played pretty much the same songs over the years. This is the first tour i can remember where Shine On wasn't on the setlist. I really wish he would play On the Turning Away. I know he played it at a few Division Bell and On an Island shows, but not since.
@mustyguitar I wasn't expecting Echoes to be played whatsoever. Then I heard the first PING and I knew what it was right away and completely lost my mind lol. If you've ever seen Radio City Music Hall, it has these large arches around the theater and the lasers and lights were going all the way up and down the arches, especially at the end of the song. Whoever did the lighting did a superb job. Its still fresh in my mind. All 25 minutes with Rick and company.
Wow what a experience. I was there for the last show lots of rain and the concert wasnt far from being canceled but the god of rock save us all.....anyway i agree with most of the things you said. First note of 5 a.m and i had the tears of happiness in my eyes. Fat old sun was good but i could not realy hear the guitar solo part it was realy lost in the mix. Marooned i didnt like much but i respect gilmour its not easy song to play and gilmour you can see he is improvising a lot and sometimes you feel he get little bit lost so marooned i founded little bit screwed. High hopes perfect but i didnt like the balloons at all lots of distraction for such a masterpiece. Sorrow aaaaaah like you said i was shaking the sound was just perfect never heard anything like that. Also there was a moment after boat leis waiting gilmour was crying i think the combination of the song and the ovation after got him. Comfortably numb was amazing just before the song all the people from the back run in the front of the stage the security could do nothing there was like thousand people in few seconds in the v.i.p section standing. Also during the last solo there was little rain going through the lasers it was just pure magic. Anyway thats my experience. Happy to be the part of this community on patreon thanks a lot for your work musty you are the best my friend. All the best to everybody happy learning happy playing enjoy the life 😉
Great video. I wish I could see him live, but I doubt he will come to Singapore. I saw Floyd with the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in Wembley and Knebworth… He’s doing very well for his age and I wonder if this is his final tour… One of my greatest guitar heroes.
Haha! I know what you mean: Gilmour, Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler are my three favourite guitarists and idols. I once was on the first row on the last Dire Straits tour. I was a young kid, but oh so in awe of Knopfler. I also love to believe that he looked at me for 5, 6 seconds with a look like: well, thats a young kid with his father on front row. For him it was 5 seconds, for me it was a giant thing in the rest of my life! haha #idols #fanboy
@@mustyguitar It was their last tour, opened with Calling Elvis and playing that wonderful Pensa Suhr guitar. Knopfler was so utterly great on the Alchemy album. That ending part of Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road and Once Upon A Time In The West. To be fair, I think his last albums are pretty boring; sleeping background music, but he's getting old too. Although, Gilmour has still some fire and power, thanks for your great work man!
@@christian-van-e I like his latest stuff too but I'm a huge fan of Boom Like That, What It Is and Why Aye Man trilogy. Of course, Telegraph Road is my all time favorite non pink floyd song. Everybody loves sultans of swing and brothers in arms and money for nothing etc... I'll see him as soon as I can right in the front row I hope! Thank you for your kind words!
@@mustyguitar Oh yeah, no: I hate it when people only know Dire Straits because Walk of Life and Money For Nothing, hahah Yeah man, keep up the great work! I fell in love with Gilmours red-strat tone from the Live In Venice/Delicate Sound of Thunder-tour! And especially the bombastic singing and build-up to the solo of On the turning away: I know you know exactly what I mean! haha
I was lucky to go along to the Brighton rehearsal shows - the quality was amazing. I agree Sorrow tone was amazing, and he played the opening with these with little more staccato, which really sounded great It looks like he changed Great day for freedom to be a duet, he played it on his own in Brighton. I'm looking forward to Thursday this week, I have a ticket for Royal Albert Hall really looking forward to it. I think Great Gig and Boat waiting, where really well done.
I was there on 1st of October, it was professionally filmed by 100K cameras and Pratt said it's the only night being filmed. I think most of the songs were unnecessary like Great day for freedom, Coming back to life, and ladies singing on Great gig was awful. Marooned, High Hopes, Sorrow and C Numb were so nice. a long Shine On were way more suitable than bunch of songs. And he just tries to minimize performing songs written by Roger Waters the great. At the second C Numb solo I discard the phone and indulged in the solo. I think they may have filmed me during that too.
I see. Still, it's good that there's another gig I'm going to see once they release the film. and about the setlist, yeah we think the same on this one.
I definitely agree with you on Great Day for Freedom. Doesn't really fit in The Division Bell, in my opinion. Yeah, ranks last in my post Waters era Floyd tracks.
I’m actually very curious now: First I am one of those obsessed Floyd fans and whenever they play I sell a kidney and go watch either Dave or Rog… Last year Rog’s ‘this is not a drill’ was just unforgettable. The Production that roger adds is in its own tier. Question I have in mind is: Do you think Dave made those few mistakes as a new thing now that he is older? or does he make mistakes on earlier dates of his tours? I saw him live in 2016 in both Rome and Pompeii and all I can remember is absolute perfection in sound, timing and playing in both venues. But this time in Rome, I actually for the first time noticed a couple of errors and I remember thinking that it must be on purpose as in my head David is nonhuman! Also the night I was there on 29 Oct his crew messed up when he played the High Hopes solo on the lap steel and no sound came until the engineer went on stage and did something! That kind of ruined that perfect intro to the solo! I actually LOVE coming back to life and it was a highlight that he played it 😊. In the end I can see you are a real fan and admirer and regardless you just relayed your impression and factually pointed out the couple of issues. and you paid 750 Euros to be front seat !
I have watched, maybe hundreds of concerts, bootlegs, live albums and recordings and I'm talking his prime time too. He makes mistakes, he forgets what do you want from me in some 1994 shows, sometimes he plays off-key and corrects it, around 1977, in the flesh tour. I mean, it's normal, in a 2.5 hour show, you make a couple mistake, but of course age doesn't help.
Horrified at RAH ticket prices, I will be staying home. I cannot afford a train to London + hotel + concert ticket price. Save the money for next year's holiday.
I mean - the real question is - HOW to get such sound? How he sounded in Rome was beyond what I expected. Rich, saturated with that metalic top end. His black cat strat was the best thing I have ever heard. Period. But how? How to get such clarity, saturation and all that?
Yo estuve el día 27-28 en Roma, para mí sorrow fue increíble!!!! He visto a David Gilmour 5 veces y el ensayo del día 26, y el mejor concierto que he visto fue el 30 de septiembre del 2016, el concierto fin de gira en el Royal Albert Hall, ese fue el mejor para mí, con un solo en Comfortably Numb🤯🤯🤯.... Gracias por tus vídeos!!!
i went to one of the rehearsal shows in Brighton... Same set, in a way smaller venue (look up the Brighton Centre), only difference from our side of things we didnt get the balloons during High Hopes... I understand why they do it as theyre in the film on screen, but I preferred to watch the Master at work.
Could be my man. Either way, I’ll do my job and finish my projects as I promised to the community, he’ll do what he wants to do and you probably will not be able to do what you want to do with this attitude.
Please forgive me for bugging people with this again but is it 100% percent sure that the red strat in Maroon is the red strat #2 ( original backup of red strat #1)? I have a picture of me next to the backup red strat at the Pink Floyd exhibit in Montreal, it would be so cool if this is the one being played. I heard the #1 at Massey Hall in 2006, I think I like it even more than the black. Maroon is one of my all time favourite song, it does sound a bit different than the record however.
Well, everything sounds a lot different than recordings for that matter. I don’t know much about the backup Strat but isn’t it the same as the original red Strat? And yeah I of course prefer red Strat tone over black Strat in most cases.
@@mustyguitar I guess the backup strat should be very similar in sound, look and feel to the original. I just want to see if I can do myself an ego trip and tell myself I was pictured next to the actual guitar he is playing. Thats all.
as well as you know his tones, ive got a hard time hearing a review on his tone from someone who was in the front row. aaaaaand as i was typing that i imagine youre going to compare this with more proper mixes and all kinds of recordings from this tour, you said that you would of course do that lol

I was there too that evening at the third highest row on the southern tribune. This concert was the best of my life. Our seats were cremt covered by the main hang but by a sidefill hang. Although we didn’t have the stereo effect some middle seats had, still I gotta say this was the best sounding concert I ever whitenessed. And as you say, guitar sound was 100/10.
If you want any of the recordings let me know:)
(Recorded phone clips with iPhone 15 pro max, sound quality was insane…)
It's very sad that David is getting old, everyone gets older with every new day. But I have great respect for what he does at his 78. I’m not even sure that I’ll live to that age, much less play the guitar)). In any case, I wish him long life and many more concerts. He is a very dear person to me, although I have never met him❤.
He's a dear person to all of us. Some more than others. I certainly can't imagine the day we lose him. Same goes for Roger too btw. Roger's vision is extraordinary and he's a really cracked head genius idol of mine!
I was there on 3rd of October, 2nd row. What struck me most was the SOUND. Guitar sounded phenomenal, bass was sooo fat and I could hear every instrument and every singer without any problems. 11/10 for me.
I was in the lateral tribune and the sound was as you described. The best sounding show I ever witnessed, in terms of such venues
I was in the left tribune on October 3rd and I was impressed by the same thing! Right when the first notes started I thought "Wow! I never heard a guitar like this! Even in the albums!". And not only the guitar, the full mix sounded really good as well! 😊
yeah probably I got the worst seats, just to see the guy. the best place to experience is probably somewhere close to 20th row, maybe center?
@@JuarezLencioniMaccarini the first notes of 5AM gave me such chills!
@@mustyguitar Congrats for the channel! I was in sept 29th. Row 54 but when he played the first note of 5AM it just cut the whole Circo Massimo as a knife through butter if you let me the comparison. Powerful and crystal clear. Sound was amazing I just was unlucky with a couple of drunk disrespectful guys in the following row.
Let me tell you, i was there on the last day. Heavy rain as people were entering. The rain stopped for the whole show and it started rain again at the end. David was great. Comfortably numb was amazing.
Ow yeah!
One of the huge problems in what you heard was your physical location. To really hear the best sound, but not ever the best view, you have to get a seat right in front or right behind the FOH sound board or booth. The whole show is designed to sound best by the guy running the board. All that said, it will be interesting to see this show improve over time. DG hasn't toyred in how long? Yeah, it sounds like it has been that long.
that's exactly true.
Many of us wont have the oportunity to see him playing live for the rest of our lives. I missed 1994 división bell tour in México as I was just 14 years old. And it makes me cry because DG and all my guitar heroes are getting old. Im glad you enjoyed to the fullest.
It's the beginning of the tour and I'm sure his playing will get better. Who knows how much he actually has practiced those older songs
Hey there! First of all, I'd like to say "thank you Musty!", I discovered your channel recently and, from what I had the opportunity to see, the quality and the quantity of your Gilmour-related material is really impressive. The time and the dedication put in your work are palpable... wish you the best and I hope you will keep going for long!
Second, I was in Rome, October 1st. As you said while talking about the setlist, the second part of the concert was not so "rich" as the first one in terms of guitar performances, but, in my opinion, the combo "The Great Gig in the Sky" - "A Boat Lies Waiting" was easily one of the best moment of the show. I know... David was only playing slide guitar and the main focus was the choir, but the sensations and the emotions they were able to convey in that context were overwhelming. After A Boat Lies Waiting ended, I turned to my father and he was basically crying, my eyes got teary too... best musical experience I've ever had :')
Said that, 28 or 78 years old, I don't mind, Gilmour is still one of the best guitarist on this planet.
Long live David
Thank you for your kind words! I think my young age got to me. I can't relate to songs like "A Boat Lies Waiting" or "Sings" from the new album, JUST YET. And what a great moment for a father and son! I wish I had a son or daughter I'd take. I just took my girlfriend who knows only half of the songs xD
You say Gilmour is 78? Amazing considering his age. Most 78 year olds are napping when gilmour is rocking.
That was a fantastic review, excellent stuff! Really interesting and honest and musically right on. I first saw David play in London 1969....still on the journey, a wonderful relationship. I shall check out your solos of his work.
thank you! do check out and tell me your opinion
I was blessed to be able to attend the show on the 3rd of October. I still can’t fully believe I was there. The rain was a test, but what a blessing it was when the show started despite everything
yeah rain really was unfortunate, or was it? That reminded me of 2006 tour where he played On The Turning Away on the spot while it was raining.
I'm 17 and was there October 2nd with my Dad. We came from Vienna for the concert. This definitely was the best experience of my live.
you are very lucky to experience that with your father
I was there on the 1st October. Best night of my life, when he hit that first note on 5am, god it was emotional. He was incredible. Only disappointment was that I was on the left stand quite far to the back, and a cameraman was right in front of me, blocking David a lot of the time. But hey, doesn’t matter, I was there and he was in close proximity to me😭. Glad that you had an amazing experience! Wish I could have got some better seats a lot closer but oh well.
that is unfortunate... thank you!
Heading to Garden Nov 5. Only other time I saw David was at Vet Stadium in 94 on Division Bell tour. Amazing show
ow yeah! keep us informed after that!
I saw David at the Vet in 1994 too. 😊
He sounds amazing live. Im glad I saw him in 2015. Missed this one due to ridiculous ticket access, the cost and the fact I'll never go to London to see ANYONE if they wont come to Scotland. He remains an icon.
So what if he can't sing amazing all of the time. Good on him. And good on him for doing it all for real.
I really love this performance in Rome.
I saw Pink Floyd in 1988 Sydney and 1994 Seattle, Roger Waters in 2011 St Petersburg and 2012 Brisbane, Nick Mason in 2023 Brisbane... every concert was insanely brilliant!!!
I'm a huge fan of Roger but I haven't seen any of his shows. I was working so much (I still do, lol.) so I missed his shows. I'm waiting Roger to announce another tour perhaps...
@@mustyguitar Rogers Wall tour was much better than the latest one, don't miss Nicks Saucerful of secrets its brilliant as well...
@@alwaysright3718 I did see Nick and I met Guy Pratt too. He shook my hand and said you should be bass player xD
@@mustyguitar you definitely should be in a PF cover band but as the guitarist, I've seen 2 of them and they are awesome, also saw one that played with a full orchestra...
I'm going to see him on Thursday at the RAH. I can't wait!
ow yeah!
No way! You were there the same day as me. I was in line 44. I had a great view. When he started playing Marooned, I completely lost it. That song was only played 3 times live before this tour, and I just couldn't believe it. Another highlight was the light show during Sorrow. Talk about art. And lastly, as a huge Division Bell fan, I was really happy with the many songs he performed from that album.
You had better view than me Cedric. All I saw was ton of metal and a little bit Gilmour xD We share the same taste I guess, Marooned and Sorrow were definitely my favorites too.
I was there on this day too. Had seats on the side tribune, row 6. Amazing sound. Was really happy to hear Marooned as it is so rare as live performance. High Hopes was definitely a highlight for me, it was so cool to see the balloons bounce around from a little higher perspective, added to the atmosphere. Sorrow was a killer, the lightning, the bass, the seats if not even the whole tribune was shaking, 10/10. Also loved Fat old Sun.
Was a tiny bit disappointed by In Any Tongue and the second solo of Comfortably Numb, but still, legend.
I really enjoyed the solos of David and Ben during A great day for freedom. Between two Points and Scattered were lovely, but the solos could have been longer, agree. I found Great Gig in the Sky quite touching, but granted, its not the original one.
Also, during the band introduction, he forgot Rob and said "Fuck" which I got on video, hilarious.
Tbh, the best concert I have been to so far and I feel so happy&lucky that I got the experience the master himself at least once.
@@drunkensumo Yeah, him forgetting Rob was an unintentional highlight for sure. The reaction when he realized it was priceless. But hey, at that age it was impressive how much of the songs he was able to remember.
Great review, man! I loved every second of the concert. It pains me to see him aging, but that is also a great reminder to all of us. Nothing is eternal (but his beautiful solos!).
true that
The photo with M.Greg is sooo funny ❤😅😅
It's so nice to see how much Gilmour's sound has influenced young people like OP. Amazing Gilmour chops too. As a Pink Floyd fan for over 45 years, this is wonderful! I can also tell the difference in taste - OP likes the newer stuff, On An Island and In Any Tongue. I do too, but they don't compare to the older classics line Comfortably Numb!
Thanks a lot for your opinion and really great work! And don’t listen haters because they are nothing 😊
Very good review. I do appreciate your work, how you play and explain. Great !
thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate that!
Everyone rushing to the front during scattered and then shouting for comfortably numb as he faked the ending of the concert, is the best moment of the concert for me
I don't know why there's a thing called "encore". Can someone really explain it to me? Every band and every show has an encore. Terrible fake. Maybe I don't understand the logic behind it...
@@mustyguitar Tradition?
@@lt.reubenrozeyt5716 is that the only reason? if so, respect... got nothing more to say. but still it looks funny that they leave for 20 second and come back.
@@mustyguitarit is to walk offstage and hear audience reaction-great response, they go back and play a couple more; not a great response, they go home. BTW-love your videos man!! 👍👍
@@georgestone3957 thank you and thank you for explaining. that makes sense now.
We did the same thing for the Wednesday night show. Seats in Row 4 - really outstanding show. It was a yolo thing for my wife and I who were huge fans...If you all can do it, go see the good Sir.
That was a fantastic review, excellent stuff!
thank you!!
Sorrow was my Highlight at the 29th.... What a sound
You've psyched me up for his show on 10/25 at Intuit Dome... can't wait!
get psyched dude! you're gonna love it!
The intro of time, amazing guitar sound
Thanks for your interesting review. I was there 20th row on October 1st (the show after yours, because they did'nt play on Monday). It was wondeful . I agree I some solos maybe we expected a little more, especially in Confortable numb... But it was nice to see him!
Pretty fair review. I was at the 2 Oct show. I flew halfway around the world for this show, and wasn't disappointed - and first time I've ever been in Rome. I saw Pink Floyd in Jan/Feb 1988 in Sydney. I've since seen Roger play here live, and Nick & Guy last year, so it was great to finally get to see David play again. All I'm going to say is that I wish I could make the shows in Royal Albert Hall! Rome was a bit of a warm up for the band and crew, so I think it will be even better for an indoor venue.
Seeing him in the Albert Hall, on Thursday.
snap
ow yeah!
I’ll be there Friday😊
Thank you, Musty! Giving us who couldn't visit the concert an opportunity to experience those mind-blowing feelings at least for 1% of that power!
I live to serve!
Hi Musty, you must be the world’s greatest DG/PF fan! I’m with you brother!
well... I seem to enjoy it :)) cheers!
November New York I’ll be 6th row.. once in a lifetime!
ow yeah!
Brother, thank you so much for this review! ❤🎉
Thx for the review. Going to the Gardens in Nov with my wife who had never listened to Pink Floyd before I met her 30 years ago. (yes I'm that old) She is a classical/ opera singer and loves his music now. . Will be my 3rd and her first time seeing him live. Cannot wait.
you're that young. enjoy the show you two!
Surprised you dont like a great day for freedom... subjective of course but for me , that studio version is my favorite Gilmour solo. so happy to see it on the setlist, very excited for MSG NOV. 4
yeah I'm not proud of it, but I always skip it.
Great review, keep it up 👍
thank you!
@@mustyguitar pleasure pal, you’re a talented fella
Was there for the first night, row #4, between the center of the stage and the PA on the right. I thought: "man, my wife will kill me. It will be excruciatingly loud." Nop... quite the opposite. She enjoyed the show, I could hear all the instruments perfectly, at a very pleasant volume. Fantastic show!
I have to agree with you. The Muff tones were glorious. And I was lucky, I believe: In any tongue is one of my favs and he nailed the solo in the first show. Still have some goosebumps, just by remembering it...
Thank you so much
thank YOU so much!
Dude, I was there the same day. man really one time experience in life. I love what you're doing and appreciate all your effort. keep on rocking bro. thanks for meticulous analysis, like always learn alot from you. thanks a million. 🙏🙏🙏
thank you! I really appreciate that!
Thanks for this review men! In few days im traveling to see him in LA Congrats from Bolivia!🇧🇴
ow yeah!!
Thx musty for this vidéo. Lucky man to watch Dave in live 🥹 on this tour. Thx for all that you do for us … we love David so much .. 🙏
thank you!
Can you do a lesson on David Gilmour song No Way please?
I still couldn't find a quality lap steel... But I'll do with strat if it gets picked on Patreon
I dont know how it was for the people over there but for someone seeing the show on my screen I felt the baloons where awesome! The video of High Hopes is pure art and the part with the baloons is my favourite. Setting up baloons that are very similar to the video is an awesome immersive idea. They even printed the "P" logo of Pink Floyd on it! :)
yeah it was something. I punched like 3 balloons xD it was awesome for sure. I'm just interested in the music rather than the show. maybe I shouldn't be this annoying and enjoy it.
@@mustyguitar The slide guitar solo at the end of "High Hopes" is one of my all time favourite Pink Floyd solo, it has that post Roger Water modern Pink Floyd sound. I saw it in 2006, it was amazing. Here at the 2024 show it is different, you are invited to look at the video while they play and once the baloons get released on the video they get released in real life, I think it is a very clever immersion.
Que experiência incrível! Fico imaginando se o Gilmour tem ideia do que esse cara que ficou o olhando fixamente por 10 segundos também consegue fazer com uma guitarra. Imagino como seria a reação do Gilmour vendo algum vídeo seu. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco esse momento incrível.
haha! thank you Alex, that's real kind of you!
I enjoyed this video, wasn’t bored for a second. This is a great channel for all tones Gilmour. Jealous that you got to see him on this tour. I saw him in the On an island tour. I was in the 3rd row in a much smaller venue. He did Shine on & Echoes and Rick was there too.
Thank you! and well, who can top your experience? sheeeesh!
I wonder how the tones may sound different in an enclosed venue like the Albert Hall. It's often said that open air stadiums can be very dependent on conditions and other factors. I'll report back after Wednesday
that could be Mark, even where you sit is important on how you experience the sound.
NIce that the score on your sponsor section is from Obscured by Clouds
We have tickets in the Intuit Dome row 5 I think. For what it costs, little sad the stage is so high up that you get to see about half of David 😅
yeah I guess the best seats are 10th row or something
Hey Mustafa. I'm sure it must've been ur most unforgettable moment when DG looked at you like that 😅. I travelled all the way from India for the 2nd Oct show and my Dream, literally a dream came true. Was lucky to have the Gold class tickets and those merchandise for memorabilia sake 😀 but what an unforgettable experience I had.. personally I felt that the best performance on that night was Dark & velvet nights & scattered. Even in any tongue was master class. Felt as if I was right in the centre of my dream.
Hey Musty, nice video! I went to the 1st of October night, and I'm still recovering from it 🤣. For me, the night's highlight was Sorrow, the sound of the Muff combined with the RA-200 was incredible, the whole place was shaking. I think he kept the RA-200 mixed 50/50 with the WEM cabinets for the entire concert as he did in 1994 with the Doppolas. If you listen closely, you can hear the high-frequency "whirling" sound of the rotary speakers in almost every solo.
yeah I do hear it, but not 50/50 in my opinion. Maybe 70 dry 30 wet? Can't wait for an official release
Frankly I can’t believe he went sharp.
Haha 🤣
I got torn apart on the comments for one concert clip... all because I said that I was sad that he'd finally lost his singing voice (Time, A Great Day For Freedom and Coming Back to Life were really hard to watch). I've never heard him struggle so much and it really upset me. He's my guitar idol and I love that voice. People were rude, insulting me... it got really ugly. I ended up deleting the comment just to stop it all. Honestly it was quite unsettling.
you should REALLY not watch Paul McCartney in concert then.... Unfortunately the man's voice is completely gone, to the point where it sounds absolutely awful to listen to if it was anybody else, but the audience does not care one bit because it's Paul f'ing McCartney! Dave's voice by comparison is still phenomenal. For the songs off the latest records, his voice is perfect, but the oldies they're really meant for a younger Dave, and to be honest we're just happy that he still performs them to us, regardless if he hits every note or not..
yeah people really love tearing each other. nobody listens or cares anymore. that really bothers me. I'm VERY careful with my words, VERY. but people can't even stand even the slightest comment that they don't agree.
I went to the concert the day after you, and I agree with everything you said. For me, the overall experience was amazing. The sound was fantastic, and the location was spot on. It was a unique experience. And yes, ‘Marooned’ was the biggest surprise (by the way, he plays it differently every day). Hearing ‘Numb’ from the front row is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
ow yeah!!
I'm interested in how much it cost to go to the concert in Rome. I looked and saw prices around 160 euro, if thats correct I could fly to rome have a room in a hotel and its cheaper than 1 night at The Royal Albert hall, the Cheapest seat is around 800 euro. Proces look similarly cheap in the US part of his tour. I wonder why UK fans are being ripped off 1
Muchas gracias por todo lo que brindas en tu canal. Abrazo desde Argentina
Thank you! Cheers! Love how Argentina is the rising star btw. Love Javier Milei
Sorry. I love uncle David...but....I keep thinking that people don't understand and always use David's age as an excuse. I can forgive the state of his voice and some imperfections in the guitar. This is clearly due to the passage of time. What is unforgivable is the wrong choice of musicians. Apart from the bassist and the keyboardist:
The Webb Sisters (the choir) were excellent for Leonard Cohen, but for a Floydian choir, they didn't have enough power. The version of "A Great Gig in the Sky" sounds very interesting, but it fails to move.
The low-quality setlist. It starts with "5AM" and then with "Black Cat," which have no connection to each other. Poorly linked.
Leaving out "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and insisting on "Sorrow" instead of doing the "Castellorizon" + "On an Island" duo, where the latter I believe is the last wonderful creation with the best solo he has ever done.
In "In Any Tongue," the guitarist doesn't make it. Bring in the choir from "Live at Pompeii."
And finally, even though Gilmour has always been more restrained with visual effects as a solo artist, the lighting effects were completely disjointed, without the magic we're used to. In the solo of "Comfortably Numb," there is no buildup from less to more.
I leave with the impression that the band came to finish rehearsing in Rome to perform better in London and the United States.
There's no way that he can sing Shine On anymore. He's struggling enough as it is.
I agree about the lightning on CNumb outro solo.
The lights and laser effects are completely random, with no connection to the music.
Seems like they put on an "auto-lightning" effect that would switch all possible light settings on and off randomly. Awful.
How dare he pick a set list that isn’t exactly to your taste. How’s your music career going pal?
I saw the concert on the First night and honestly, for me has been a bittersweet experience. Maybe because it was the first night, maybe because is getting older but I saw him a little bit "lost".. he made some mistakes on the guitar and often stuck on the same notes. I enjoyed the concert as well but to me has been tough to finally realize that your main hero got old and is no more "invincible". In every case you're right regarding the tone, you hear that is still there
well, we all hate to see him age but there's nothing to do but be happy that we got to see him.
Very interesting video and great channel - I just stumbled upon it!
Btw:
I was in Rome on 2nd of October and at the beginning of the show Guy Pratt said that the show is being recorded (probably for a future live release)! Did he say that before the other shows as well?
Thank you for your kind words!
I was at 28th and there were cameras and mics of course, but nobody said anything about recording.
I saw him in 2016 and it was incredible. I think he’s losing his voice though, specially in floyd songs one can see he struggles. There was this whole thing about him not wanting to play some of water’s songs but i think is just that he can’t anymore. It’s ok, the inevitability of time, ironically.
2016 gilmour was still really rocking but 2024 gilmour struggling, obviously. that's okay, that's life. I wish I was fortunate enough to see him during 2006, 2016. I was in my fathers balls during PULSE tour of course.
I love the fact David's making mistakes on his songs it just adds to the charm and overall authenticity of his performances. And let's not forget he's 78, his entire career, his performances from the age of twenty two, have been absolutely steller. He's got nothing to proove to any of us anymore.
yeah I agree %100
Perfectly agree.
I have been to about 12 or 13 Brit Floyd concerts and I have found that sitting very close to the front in the middle is obviously great visually, but not ideal for tone and clarity on guitar. The guitar parts depending on what other instruments are being played are sometimes muddy, bass heavy and just not clear overall, and I would assume you were probably experiencing some of that also. I will say there is a difference between those two because Brit Floyd uses the AXE FX digital platform so most of there sound comes through the big stacks of speakers on the left and right of the stage. David Gilmour he still uses analog equipment with all of those amps and cabinets so I would assume there is a good amount of sound just coming from those which would have been right in front of you from what I could see off to the left of Gilmour. I was lucky enough to get a ticket to see Gilmour on this coming Nov 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, but I wont be sitting in the front as I had a hard time justifying $900 for a ticket. I will be right next to the mixing desk basically on the other end of the court so I would think audio should be great.
yeah sound-wise you're better off. I just wanted to see the guy up close. I wanted to buy another ticket for another day, something like 20th or 30th row, but I couldn't :D
I saw Guy Pratt, bassist. September 15, 2008 we lost Richard Wright. Overall great performance! Thank you for sharing. Jeff.
Thank you Jeff!
That's jimmy hendrix guitar strap !...the The one that snapped... His wife bought him it.
Thanks for sharing! Personally, I think the best tones he ever had were on the Pulse tour. Which I’ve also seen live in concert 😊
sheeesh! now who can top that?!
I do think his original 'black strat' had a special tone. .
I am glad David missed some bends, was a little sharp and flat on some notes. And that the performance wasn't perfect. And so what??? Like you say he's 78 years old but - above all - it shows he is playing LIVE!!! Unlike quite a few other artists out there unfortunately... especially one David knows VERY well. Kudos to DG and his wonderful band for keeping it real. Looking forward the Royal Albert Hall show.
78 years old seems normal when you type. but it's like, 78 years old!!
@@mustyguitar Someone on another site suggested David deliberately messes some guitar up to "prove" its live to troll his ex bestie Roger! I'm not sure about that but its a funny idea!
Hi Mustafa,
It sure was. It must have been quite an experience.
Concerning “Coming back to life”, for me, it played 1 half tone lower. Surely to adapt with his voice a little tired.
I really regret not having been there to see “Sorrow” and “Marooned”.
I can't wait to see the DVD and especially your work on it. 😉😋
It doesn't look like half tone lower though? And Eric, you should've been there man. Words cannot express how great Sorrow feels.
@@mustyguitar The only thing that comforts me is the fact that I've already seen them 2 times on the 1994 “PULSE” tour in France.
But then... the chances of seeing it one last time are slim now.
@@EricK-One well, you're the winner. who can top that?
I was in 3rd row 3rd October.
Not sure he played Free Bird? 😂
I reckon he knows who you are man! 🤟
sshhh, nobody realized yet :))
@@mustyguitarha ha would be something. Thank you for all your hard work
I clocked the Free Bird tag too! 😂😂
I saw him as Pink Floyd at Texas Stadium, 1988 and 94. 6th row center each time.
I watched his shows in Poland and Pompeii.
All seemed to be perfection to me. Something is off with this concert.
They are not as tight, a lot of pitch issues, and he seems to be having difficulty hitting notes while singing and harmonies were somewhat off key.
Even with that, I find myself playing his current show over and over. He is a master at what he does. When he laughs it off I feel he is just an amazing human. His songs project that as well. He has nothing to prove to anyone and just enjoys playing.
He has been a hero to me since 1973 when I first heard Dark Side.
I love that he has brought his daughter into the band, passing the torch, and she is just as amazing.
I hope she carries the torch like Gilmour. She truly is amazing!
I was at that show and I'm totally with you on Marooned. An out of this world experience, both in tone and melodies. It shows his unique approach to guitar playing. Interestingly, it seemed to me that it was easier for him to play the Red Strat, as he struggled a bit with the Black Cat strat in some songs. In the new songs, especially Scattered, I was hoping for improvisations, but he stuck to the safe studio versions. Probably he will get more confident later in the tour and that's why I would prefer they were filming e.g. in Hollywood Bowl. Thanks for the video!
yeah now I can't wait for the release of a live album or dvd. My watch has started...
Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Royal Albert Hall gigs, and then the American ones; and how the set list, solos, etc mature throughout the tour.
I hope there will be differences and they will release both Rome and UK and US concerts. That’ll be something 🤣
That’s just your opinion man! Kidding 😂. As an aficionado, of course you’re going to be critical.
Saw PF on the Division Bell tour. Long time ago. Like you said, as a huge fan, once in a lifetime thrilling experience.
I saw him in 2006 at Radio City, and in 2015 at MSG. I liked the 06 show more because i got to see Rick there too, and Echoes was just about the greatest live experience I've ever seen in my life. I noticed he has played pretty much the same songs over the years. This is the first tour i can remember where Shine On wasn't on the setlist. I really wish he would play On the Turning Away. I know he played it at a few Division Bell and On an Island shows, but not since.
wow you're a very lucky man! echoes live?!?!
yeah I was really expecting on the turning away or on an island. not easy songs to sing.
@mustyguitar I wasn't expecting Echoes to be played whatsoever. Then I heard the first PING and I knew what it was right away and completely lost my mind lol. If you've ever seen Radio City Music Hall, it has these large arches around the theater and the lasers and lights were going all the way up and down the arches, especially at the end of the song. Whoever did the lighting did a superb job. Its still fresh in my mind. All 25 minutes with Rick and company.
Wow what a experience. I was there for the last show lots of rain and the concert wasnt far from being canceled but the god of rock save us all.....anyway i agree with most of the things you said.
First note of 5 a.m and i had the tears of happiness in my eyes.
Fat old sun was good but i could not realy hear the guitar solo part it was realy lost in the mix.
Marooned i didnt like much but i respect gilmour its not easy song to play and gilmour you can see he is improvising a lot and sometimes you feel he get little bit lost so marooned i founded little bit screwed.
High hopes perfect but i didnt like the balloons at all lots of distraction for such a masterpiece.
Sorrow aaaaaah like you said i was shaking the sound was just perfect never heard anything like that.
Also there was a moment after boat leis waiting gilmour was crying i think the combination of the song and the ovation after got him.
Comfortably numb was amazing just before the song all the people from the back run in the front of the stage the security could do nothing there was like thousand people in few seconds in the v.i.p section standing.
Also during the last solo there was little rain going through the lasers it was just pure magic.
Anyway thats my experience.
Happy to be the part of this community on patreon thanks a lot for your work musty you are the best my friend.
All the best to everybody happy learning happy playing enjoy the life 😉
you know what, I agree about fat old sun. Now that you mentioned it, it was a little lost, yeah. thank you!!
Great video. I wish I could see him live, but I doubt he will come to Singapore. I saw Floyd with the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in Wembley and Knebworth…
He’s doing very well for his age and I wonder if this is his final tour…
One of my greatest guitar heroes.
thank you!
Haha! I know what you mean: Gilmour, Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler are my three favourite guitarists and idols. I once was on the first row on the last Dire Straits tour. I was a young kid, but oh so in awe of Knopfler. I also love to believe that he looked at me for 5, 6 seconds with a look like: well, thats a young kid with his father on front row. For him it was 5 seconds, for me it was a giant thing in the rest of my life! haha #idols #fanboy
That's something! I'm dying to see Mark Knopfler. I'll be the first to buy his tickets when he releases dates, if he ever releases...
@@mustyguitar It was their last tour, opened with Calling Elvis and playing that wonderful Pensa Suhr guitar. Knopfler was so utterly great on the Alchemy album. That ending part of Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road and Once Upon A Time In The West. To be fair, I think his last albums are pretty boring; sleeping background music, but he's getting old too. Although, Gilmour has still some fire and power, thanks for your great work man!
@@christian-van-e I like his latest stuff too but I'm a huge fan of Boom Like That, What It Is and Why Aye Man trilogy. Of course, Telegraph Road is my all time favorite non pink floyd song. Everybody loves sultans of swing and brothers in arms and money for nothing etc... I'll see him as soon as I can right in the front row I hope!
Thank you for your kind words!
@@mustyguitar Oh yeah, no: I hate it when people only know Dire Straits because Walk of Life and Money For Nothing, hahah Yeah man, keep up the great work! I fell in love with Gilmours red-strat tone from the Live In Venice/Delicate Sound of Thunder-tour! And especially the bombastic singing and build-up to the solo of On the turning away: I know you know exactly what I mean! haha
I was lucky to go along to the Brighton rehearsal shows - the quality was amazing.
I agree Sorrow tone was amazing, and he played the opening with these with little more staccato, which really sounded great
It looks like he changed Great day for freedom to be a duet, he played it on his own in Brighton.
I'm looking forward to Thursday this week, I have a ticket for Royal Albert Hall really looking forward to it.
I think Great Gig and Boat waiting, where really well done.
ow yeah! enjoy the show!
Thanx for your great video featuring "The One and Only," David Gilmour, MustyGuitar. "Keep on Rockin' in The Free World..."
I was there on 1st of October, it was professionally filmed by 100K cameras and Pratt said it's the only night being filmed.
I think most of the songs were unnecessary like Great day for freedom, Coming back to life, and ladies singing on Great gig was awful. Marooned, High Hopes, Sorrow and C Numb were so nice. a long Shine On were way more suitable than bunch of songs. And he just tries to minimize performing songs written by Roger Waters the great. At the second C Numb solo I discard the phone and indulged in the solo. I think they may have filmed me during that too.
I see. Still, it's good that there's another gig I'm going to see once they release the film.
and about the setlist, yeah we think the same on this one.
Why wasn't he using the red strat on Sorrow :(
I wished that
I definitely agree with you on Great Day for Freedom. Doesn't really fit in The Division Bell, in my opinion. Yeah, ranks last in my post Waters era Floyd tracks.
I’m actually very curious now:
First I am one of those obsessed Floyd fans and whenever they play I sell a kidney and go watch either Dave or Rog… Last year Rog’s ‘this is not a drill’ was just unforgettable. The Production that roger adds is in its own tier.
Question I have in mind is: Do you think Dave made those few mistakes as a new thing now that he is older? or does he make mistakes on earlier dates of his tours?
I saw him live in 2016 in both Rome and Pompeii and all I can remember is absolute perfection in sound, timing and playing in both venues. But this time in Rome, I actually for the first time noticed a couple of errors and I remember thinking that it must be on purpose as in my head David is nonhuman! Also the night I was there on 29 Oct his crew messed up when he played the High Hopes solo on the lap steel and no sound came until the engineer went on stage and did something! That kind of ruined that perfect intro to the solo!
I actually LOVE coming back to life and it was a highlight that he played it 😊.
In the end I can see you are a real fan and admirer and regardless you just relayed your impression and factually pointed out the couple of issues. and you paid 750 Euros to be front seat !
I have watched, maybe hundreds of concerts, bootlegs, live albums and recordings and I'm talking his prime time too. He makes mistakes, he forgets what do you want from me in some 1994 shows, sometimes he plays off-key and corrects it, around 1977, in the flesh tour. I mean, it's normal, in a 2.5 hour show, you make a couple mistake, but of course age doesn't help.
I don’t know why he didn’t have a standing section! I found the crowd flat. I was there on the 28th
yeah I agree. I just don't think they care that much. People will come no matter what the situation is.
They could have made a lot more cash and they could have expanded the crowd right to the back where the merch tents
Horrified at RAH ticket prices, I will be staying home. I cannot afford a train to London + hotel + concert ticket price. Save the money for next year's holiday.
yeah it wasn't cheap
I mean - the real question is - HOW to get such sound? How he sounded in Rome was beyond what I expected. Rich, saturated with that metalic top end. His black cat strat was the best thing I have ever heard. Period. But how? How to get such clarity, saturation and all that?
that is a tough question but the answer starts with volume in my opinion. that amount of volume is the key.
Yo estuve el día 27-28 en Roma, para mí sorrow fue increíble!!!!
He visto a David Gilmour 5 veces y el ensayo del día 26, y el mejor concierto que he visto fue el 30 de septiembre del 2016, el concierto fin de gira en el Royal Albert Hall, ese fue el mejor para mí, con un solo en Comfortably Numb🤯🤯🤯....
Gracias por tus vídeos!!!
Thank you!
He should invite you for some jam session :D
Yeah I think he should too :D
@@mustyguitar Is he aware of you ? Have you tried to contact him :D if so what is the story ?
At which date you were at the concert?
28th
i went to one of the rehearsal shows in Brighton... Same set, in a way smaller venue (look up the Brighton Centre), only difference from our side of things we didnt get the balloons during High Hopes... I understand why they do it as theyre in the film on screen, but I preferred to watch the Master at work.
how do you compare rehearsal shows to Rome shows?
"Could he be that opportunist kid that is getting nerdier, cockier and cockier at my expenses?", thought DG 😂🤣😂
Could be my man. Either way, I’ll do my job and finish my projects as I promised to the community, he’ll do what he wants to do and you probably will not be able to do what you want to do with this attitude.
Please forgive me for bugging people with this again but is it 100% percent sure that the red strat in Maroon is the red strat #2 ( original backup of red strat #1)? I have a picture of me next to the backup red strat at the Pink Floyd exhibit in Montreal, it would be so cool if this is the one being played. I heard the #1 at Massey Hall in 2006, I think I like it even more than the black. Maroon is one of my all time favourite song, it does sound a bit different than the record however.
Well, everything sounds a lot different than recordings for that matter. I don’t know much about the backup Strat but isn’t it the same as the original red Strat? And yeah I of course prefer red Strat tone over black Strat in most cases.
@@mustyguitar I guess the backup strat should be very similar in sound, look and feel to the original. I just want to see if I can do myself an ego trip and tell myself I was pictured next to the actual guitar he is playing. Thats all.
Review for "Is There Anybody Out There?" from The Wall please.
really? I didn't think people would care album reviews
as well as you know his tones, ive got a hard time hearing a review on his tone from someone who was in the front row. aaaaaand as i was typing that i imagine youre going to compare this with more proper mixes and all kinds of recordings from this tour, you said that you would of course do that lol
haha!
hahhaah how can you not love A great day for freedom. I’m surprised
yeah I'm not proud of it. I almost always skip and the Gdansk version is as overrated as the studio version in my opinion.
