My wife and l flew from Melbourne , Australia to France to see David Gilmour perform at Arenes de Nimes a couple of weeks after the Pompeii shows. An absolutely mind blowing show and an experience we will always treasure
Neil Finn Week is a good call. Aside from his Crowded House and Split Enz work, he partially replaced Lindsay Buckingham on the last Fleetwood Mac tour (they got two artists to stand-in for LB). And he’s got solo stuff too. There’s probably other stuff that I’m not aware of with Neil, but he’s an amazing songwriter, singer, and musician.
Hey George and Alex I've been down for awhile with a fractured back , listening to alot of my CDs this being one of them. I saw them in Seattle on this tour, super entertaining . He puts on a show that cant be beat by anyone. Hope you had good holidays and back with ya for 2023.Enjoyed the reaction keep on keeping on with an attitude.
@@TheThamesmen I know that he sold all his guitars and gave the money to charity. Last year he made a new song with an Ukrainian singer to help Ukraine ‘ Hey hey rise up’..
Noticed you got a Ten Years After tune. Would to hear I’m Going Home from Woodstock that turned me onto guitar didn’t think fingers could go that fast. You Have to play Janis Joplin doing Ball and Chain at Monterey festival it even left Moma Cass in agh!!!!!!
@@rickfairman5640 That Monteray track YES for sure. TYA, I can't. Just can't., too close to home, as in I'm NOT going home. I am sure you will understand.
Hey while in the gym today I clicked on an old album that I think the two of you would enjoy. Bigger, Better faster more by the four non blondes. Their break through song was what’s up. The lead singer is Linda Perry. She went on to a career behind the music with Christina Aguilar before working with pink. She is very prominent in the industry now their first and only album was kick as rock and blues which is hard not to hit replay when it is done. No motive here(I’ll save that for Canada week.) I just think this album would be right your ally based on my observations following you it seems for ever Re Hey Jude found a audio from Clapton saying the solo in hey Jude by Dwayne was the best he had ever heard. It led to Clapton seeking Duane out they hit it off and duane ended it playing slide on Layla Check out mastermind behind Layla Tom Dowd I think this would be right up your ally enjoy take care
Wonderful song with a great, heartfelt guitar solo. Neil Finn Week has caught my eye a few times on the way through the videos. Carole King as well. Can't wait!
I believe this is one of the first three or four songs he ever wrote. And he performed every instrument (or nearly all) on the studio version. He was actually a great drummer, bass player as well.
Love this track, it's one of my favourites of Pink Floyd. I saw that gig at a theatre in Albury, about 130km south of Wagga. It was screened for one night only in selected places in Australia. I have a quad copy of Atom Heart Mother on LP and a remastered stereo version on CD. The sound of the solo on the quad record craps on the stereo remaster.
OMG I thought I was like the only person in the world that listened to and loved that particular PF album in the first place, and then also the only person who fell in love with this song and some of the other flip side songs on that album. I imagined this as an Arena rock song when I was young... and now, finally after all these years, I'm seeing it here as the arena rock that it was destined to be. I just wish Nick Mason was playing drums, and Rick was still around on keys.
Neil Finn started in his brothers bands in the late 70's called Split Ends then formed Crowded House and they have reformed and doing a concert in Australia soon
Been a Gilmour girl from the jump. I've come to regard Gilmour's playing as a particular soul family expression. The effect is immediate and implosive, exhilarating and devastating...a fractal fingerprint of resonant frequency that allows us to recognize one another.
George, I saw you were snowed in at Mammoth. My daughter and her other half have gone on holidays from living in the desert in north west Western Australia to Mammoth. They're suffering from culture shock as they're currently snowed in there and are going to have to be flown out tomorrow. Apparently, Josephine is over snow for a lifetime!!
Thanks for making the Christmas of an Aussie who lives in Dundee feel very very special. Love you guys. I know you might have already done this, but my favourite guitar solo (arguably the best ever) is My Sharona by The Knack (long version). Can you please react to this. Great guitar solos could make a great series. Happy New Year and lots of hugs!!!!
another Gilmour man here. imo, no matter what ingredients you have in a band, 2 things make a band. one is the feel of the band, the other is the sound. for me, Gilmour provides both those. i think that, if Syd had continued, his 60s sound would have continued and the band would have died, along with the 60s. while Roger created great lyrics, my favourite album is the Division Bell. plus Sorrow and On the Turning Away, from Momentary Lapse are also 2 of my favourite songs. so i'm quite happy that Roger left
As much as I love "Bike" and other early Barrett work I'm definitely in the Gilmour camp. Waters always comes across as a more obnoxious version of Paul McCartney who thought he was the band but whose post Pink Floyd career has only showed how much more important the rest of the band were. In contrast Gilmour always comes across a thoughtful gentleman and IMHO "Comfortably Number" was the only memorable Pink Floyd song in between the "Wish You Were Here" album and Waters departure and this was all down to David Gilmour's input shining through. Gilmour's stated wish to redress the band getting away from the importance it placed on its music and sound as opposed to Rogers lyrics during its post "Wish You Were Here" period and his success in doing so is something that has given many of us enormous pleasure.
I don't know what it is about Gilmour -- like Alex said, there are plenty of guitarists that can solo faster and/or do truly amazing things with the amplification and sound effects -- but he plays with a certain soulfulness that I have always loved!
@@claudetemartins5819 I think ol Rog is /was self destructive. he has worked hard I think, his solo albums are better IMOP than Gilours but I'd stay with Gil wouldn't you?
Pink Floyd would not be Pink Floyd without either Gilmour or Waters, but individually I probably lean towards Gilmour for the sheer emotion and poetry of his playing. As to “who is Neil Finn”? Oh my! You are in for a treat. Undoubtedly one of New Zealand’s greatest exports. So great, in fact, that many people assume he’s Australian!😉 Just like so many other great other great NZ exports (Russell Crowe, Sam Neill, Jane Campion, Kimbra, John Clarke… Phar Lap!). Looking forward to it.
Greetings from the Czech Republic. You have pleased me again. First of all: I belong to the same camp of fans who claim that Gilmour is Pink Floyd. Waters is undoubtedly a brilliant poet and songwriter - already a worse instrumentalist and a pretty bad singer, but mostly - he is too sad for my taste, both in his work and in his life. Gilmour oozes humanity and honest emotion. He is undoubtedly a brilliant songwriter, he is known to be an excellent multi-instrumentalist, and there can be no doubt about his great singing. Secondly, you have chosen a beautiful piece from a fantastic concert. When the keyboards start playing their solo part, I get goosebumps, and when Gilmour leans into the strings of his old Telecaster at the end, my pulse quickens. I'm just not sure it was only Pink Floyd and then David Gilmour that performed in the Pompeii Amphitheatre. I read somewhere that in addition to that, King Crimson performed there in 2018 (one concert) and Frank Sinatra once - the latter without an audience though - just for recording purposes. Thank you and I wish you all well in 2023 (except Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin)...
When I was researching this one I used David Himself as a source for the assertion about Pompeii Amphitheatre only allowing PF and Gilmour to play there but what I should have said was “had only” instead of “has only” because, to your point, I am unaware of anything that has occurred there since 2016. Here is my source: th-cam.com/video/4bW_N54udjM/w-d-xo.html at 5:16
There's a really great motocross track at Mammoth ' probably best suited to snowmobiles' at the moment ' I really feel for you over there if you're feeling a bit chilly . However the weather's great here ' and I'm enjoying myself 'that's the main thing .
Hey guys, I’m a fan of each iteration The Floyd, love everything they have ever done to be honest. But without Rick Wright the band wouldn’t have had the presence and aura that the music illuminated, imo. To me, Barrett was the spark, Roger the brain, Gilmour the soul, Nick the muscle, but Rick was the heart of the band. I just don’t think he doesn’t get his due! Full Floyd head here as well! Great job as always!!
Like to see a week of southern rock in all its glory. Re birth of southern rock check out Wilson Pickett covering hey Jude with Duane Allman. Some British rock and blues. Rory Gallagher Thin Lizzie with Gary Moore Uriah Heep Nazareth Them and for something different Lorena Mckennit
I'm not sure which Floyd camp i'm in, I love them all equally, however I would say that Waters solo albums are better, Amused to Death is worth some reflection on here, a subliminal Album after KAOS and Hitchhiking (both very good may I add)
My wife and l flew from Melbourne , Australia to France to see David Gilmour perform at Arenes de Nimes a couple of weeks after the Pompeii shows. An absolutely mind blowing show and an experience we will always treasure
Love the tone of Gilmour's guitar, and a beautiful keyboard solo by the great Chuck Leavell
Thanks for listening

Ouch. Sorry to hear Mike. Hope you make a full recovery and 2023 is good to you.
I’m a Guilmour girl! Love everything he does with his guitar. Pink Floyd wouldn’t be the same without his soul. And he also is a great human being.
I agree. He’s super nice, see what he did with his guitar sales!!! Peace ✌️
@@TheThamesmen I know that he sold all his guitars and gave the money to charity. Last year he made a new song with an Ukrainian singer to help Ukraine ‘ Hey hey rise up’..
@@shecaso He did... nearly $20m gave away for the environment, no fuss, just did,. WOW
Gilmor is the master of less is more. E very thing just focused on the music. He takes you on a great voyage
I loved this Rick - By the way I saw you on Alex and andy requesting Dyane Alman..... One day Rick!!

Thanks Richard..

Looking forward to another amazing and fun year. Thanks for the shout out, please try and get to it soon as I'm not getting any younger 🤪
You got it!
Luv the star trek dance theme. And Gilmore is a legend
Well spotted on new end music. Has a family connection to Alex. He can explain
I wanted to be the worlds greatest guitarist, Dave Gilmore shattered that dream.
Ha ha

Great if you like skiing! This year they are getting hammered! I also go camping there in summer and is truly gorgeous.
Wow someone reviewed Fat Old Sun defiantly one of the best ever 🌻

Alex, I agree with you about Gilmour. I just can’t pick between Gmmour , Hendrix and Page as my overall fave.
Maybe depends on the mood or day? No rule saying they all can’t be number 1!

Fav division bell eh. Not sure what mine is anymore.
Live In Gdansk has been my favourite version of this song for a very long time. This version might nearly rival that. Thanks for reacting to the song.
Our absolute pleasure!
If you want to hear a truely heartfelt tribute to Syd Barrett by David Gilmour, listen to Dark Globe live in 2006. Just after Syd died.
Per me David è il Dio della chitarra .
Jou have to listen to the pink floyd 17 min live version it will burst in to tears
No way..... do you have a link?
He certainly can make an electric guitar "sing".
Otherworldly
Yep Gilmour for me....Rattle that Lock great ditty..
