Thanks for posting this. Great performance. That lead is simply beautiful.
And I might add, excellent job to the person who recorded this footage. You are very good at keeping the camera still and in focus; better than some professionals even.
@romolow67 Not true ... Pink Floyd played it here, in Nashville, in 1993 at Vanderbilt Stadium - the Division Bell Tour (BEFORE they started playing "the Dark Side of the Moon" as their second set - which appeared on the "Pulse" CD/DVD) ...
You freaking idiots need to do your Pink Floyd homework before you choose to talk out of your collective assholes. Know one doubts what Gilmour brought to Pink Floyd..it is immeasurable and without question. But dont let your love affair with Gilmour cloud your judgement. The post Syd Pink Floyd was brought to you by Roger Waters, who's lyrics, concepts, mood and edge could have never been conceived by Gilmour (or anyone else for that matter) The proof is in the pudding.
@bughead3 cant fully agree with that as every member played their part in post Syd floyd and without any of them we would have seen a great lyricist who cant write music to save himself fact is Roger musically is useless
This is the same year DG got the guitar strap he is using here. it was a gift from his wife on his 60th birthday. Any PF fans out there wanna guess who that strap used to belong to? :)
@swivel07..i was hoping someone would Catch that Roger waters fired comment!! good Work , if only Everybody knew floyd like i, and i believe you do, What a different place we would be in ..The music that is played is like Magic to me!! Syd was a iffy..roger left soon after Gilmour came but he left on his own..no one fired anybody!
The funny part about this performance is that it was spur of the moment and was not even on the set list. Luckily the drummer had studied all Pink Floyd tunes in case David wanted to play them. The bass player already knew the song from playing with David for years.
Pink Floyd will always be the greatest band ever. Pink Floyd is not just music, but it is art and even a style of living. What made them awesome was the contrast in the voices and styles of Gilmour and Waters. Waters brought on an intense style with his voice and music while Gilmour brought on a peaceful and smooth style. When they put those two contrasting styles together it was a match made in heaven. Truly the best.
the great thing about the floyd is the almost perfect balance between the lyric and the music,it just all fits so perfectly,david gilmour,s voice is just brilliant,and as for the timing of his guitar playing,it,s poetry in motion,i personally thing he is in the top 5 greatest guitarists of all time,the man is a genuis.
This man, has inspired me and influenced me to become the musician I am today. As far back as I can remember, as a kid, me and my dad would always put "Delicate Sound of Thunder" in or P.U.L.S.E (on VHS then lol), turn the lights out, turn the volume all the way up on the T.V. and watch the whole thing. He wanted me to experience what he did when he saw them live in 94(I was only 2) Im really glad he raised me on this music. Pink Floyd and David Gilmour forever!!
@Coopersboy7 I can say this same thing about me and my Dad. He saw them in 94, I was 14 at the time and not really into Floyd then, but I wish I could have seen them live. :) David has influenced me so much too!
Pink Floyd Lite. Can't agree with you GilmourGuitar. It's fine to be a fan of the new Pink Floyd, but the purists .. They like the twinning of the two together. The great lyrics and structure of Roger and the musician ship of David Gilmour. Can't be beat. WON'T be beat. Pink Floyd Lite are all the later Pink Floyd can be called.
Always the same discussion about Gilmour vs. Waters... We should accept that what happened, happened. That's it. The classic Pink Floyd was a combination that worked out very well and produced something very unique. Waters was undoubtedly a driving force, the mind and the madness. He was very creative, but his material needed the musicality of Gilmour and Wright to be developed and become Pink Floyd. Most of Pink Floyd's masterpieces wouldn't exist without Gilmour there. It's as simple as that.
@afsartori After Roger left, Pink Floyd changed, it became a bit more mainstream so to speak, but without ever losing quality. It lost strenght in lyrics, that's true. It lost a certain degree of tension, of dark atmosphere, that's true. But it gained a different mood to be enjoyed. It's a different Floyd, and there's nothing one could do about it. Some like it, some don't. And that's it. I like both eras, but I recognise that the classic Floyd was something out of this planet.
@afsartori On Roger's side, I think he continued producing good material, but they didn't seem brilliant to me. The Pros and Cons is fine, but it's far from having Floyd's standard. Radio KAOS is to me musically weak. On the other hand, Amused to Death is excellent, really excellent. It seems a great effort to recover Floyd's standard. But again, although it's Roger's, look how many great musicians collaborated there to help produce that resulting sound. So, that's it. That's life.
@afsartori On Gilmour's side, I personally like his style and this is something really down to taste, although he is/was undoubtedly a great musician and to me one of the best guitar players of his time. His main gift was to translate feelings through the guitar. Other players just play. He makes music. His first solo album is great and On an Island is a joy to listen to, although the lyrics don't tell you any particular message. The classic Floyd had all, message and mood enhancing each other.
@gilmourguitar123 I guess it depends on what style of music you like. Personally there's more songs post-waters I like than with him. I think my current favorite is "High Hopes" off "The Division Bell" . "Momentary Lapse of Reason" was my first Floyd album and there's tons of songs on there I like. The earlier stuff is alright, don't get me wrong, but I'm glad they grew up. Floyd losing Waters is akin to when Van halen lost Roth for Hagar. Same band, same songs, different sound, new songs
gilmourguitar123, Yes, your statement is as simple as 123 like your moniker, You know nothing and should not comment on Pink Floyd. Go back to your little bathroom and beat your meat, and shut up about these guys...you know shit about them.
There are few solos that can almost bring a tear to my eye...Well...THIS is one of them..Thank You,David..You are THE guitar player that, IF,I could have one play my funeral,it WOULD be you,Sir
look at it this way, - pink floyd gooood, roger water goood,they are good together or seperate, at tleast when they are seperat they are making seperate albums, which means more music for us to listen to! happy days!
I really don't get the discussions about Floyd. Like in every other aspect of life, all the parts work together for the final result.
There is no Floyd without Waters nor without Gilmour, Wright and Nick.
There is no need to take a side, for those ones who the Pink Floyd music is all that matters, well, personally I don't give a shit if Waters threatened Rick or whatever. Come on you people!
Should have a little more respect for Roger Waters, he lived through hell - crawl out of your shell and maybe think about the suffering Roger Waters had to endure. H'e alive and Roger Waters Made some great music, deep words - waves of emotion poured out of him!!!
This band was too good to stay together. We were lucky to get as much of them as we did. I'm only 26, but Pink Floyd still reminds me of my childhood and when I was carefree. God willing, Gilmour and Waters will tour together...
Waters is very talented thats without saying. I never listened or heard of any of those other Water alblums except for the Final Cut which i wouldnt buy . Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell & On an Island thats all I have to say !! It would be great for a reunion regardless but I feel thats wishful thinking !!
@deserve100 - I wouldn't count Final Cut due to it being one of the worst Pink Floyd albums ever written. Seriously. Sure the early stuff was weird but it was better than Final Cut. The Classic era including Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall were all better than Final Cut. Same with the next two. Momentary Lapse and Division Bell, both great albums much better than Final Cut.
@Macconator2010 I disagree while the final cut is more of a Waters solo album.....it has its merits sure it doesn't compare to earlier work but to denounve it as shit isn't right either. The post war dream, the fletcher memorial home and the final vut are great tunes....but more so if you enjoy a very Roger Waters dominant album.
I agree that Floyd is all about Gilmour . Waters essentially has not done too much since The Wall alblum, Gilmour on the otherhand has produce 3 alblums 2 with Floyd and 1 solo and they were all outstanding !!!
@11esti Come on give Waters some credit since the Wall he wrote the Final Cut, Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Radio KAOS, Amused to Death, When the Wind Blows soundtrack, and Ca Ira (an Opera). Also add to Gilmour's list since the Wall his About Face solo album. If you want to debate the quality of Roger's solo work I admit I KAOS is weak, haven't heard much from When the Wind Blows, I like Final Cut, like most of Pros and Cons, and think Amused to Death is great. Only heard bits of Ca Ira
@jaruel37 - Great post Waters era songs like: Learning To Fly, One Slip, On The Turning Away, Sorrow, Poles Apart, Marooned, A Great Day For Freedom, Wearing The Inside Out, Take It Back, Coming Back To Life, Lost For Words and High Hopes are timeless and will outclass the entire Final Cut album every time.
I agree, Floyd aged very well after Roger's departure, but I saw The Wall last weekend, and was moved to tears several times. It was INCREDIBLE. I've honestly never had a better night. FYI I'm 18.
You hit the nail on the head! Waters made something out of nothing because he didn't want them to make a name for themselves without him. Jealousy is a terrible thing and Waters never got over it. I saw them in concert two times in the 90s, had tickets in 2004 but did not go due to a death in the family. Gave those tickets away. I am going to be 53, age is just a number to me.
He can't solo anymore like he used to in his early years. Age catching up? He hit a lot of dissonance in his improv on the solo toward the end. Its an OK rendition of the solo, nothing like the VH1 "Turning away" solo or the DSOT solo or even the 1987 era Venice show solo for the same song. Those years were different and they played forever during a song.
When I'm on the train to college, sleepy and bored...
I look out of the window and I hear David Gilmour soloing in my head. LOL sometimes even when I'm in a lecture. I look at the lecturer and his lips move, but in my head I hear Davids guitar. xD
@LegaliseUK No doubt, the Wall is legendary. I'm just saying that Floyd survived without Waters. I don't think he's such a prick, he's just wacky and arrogant.
@fundyracer do you know the story dude, Dave should not sing this song, they have not rehearsed it at all, it was his joke, or trick to play this. All the band was shocked and supprised when he started this in Venice (in remeber of Delicate of thunder tour), but how professionals are they, not played the song for 12 years and still a great performance....
Pink Floyd, Live in Oakland 1977 3-disc 2CD/DVD set, Pink Floyd, The Wall Live at Earl's Court 1980 DVD available at Tommygun Video, please see youtube channel for link, video/audio clips, more info
@gilmourguitar123 Nope, not kidding. Waters may be a genius but Floyd lived on without him. He did nothing without Floyd except to keep rehashing The Wall over and over. Floyd seasoned after Waters left and got tighter. I'm not saying they weren't great with Waters, I'm just saying that they were still Floyd when Waters left and their music was still good. Does this sound like Animals? No. But all bands change and mature. Animals was 20 years before this was recorded. FYI, I'm 46.
@jrock2264 IMO; A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell were my favorite floyd albums, and im 17. Ive loved Floyd since.. Pft since the day I was born too, Gilmour inspired me to play guitar haha. I agree with gilmourguitar on that one.
@jrock2264 The final cut was very wall-esque too... working title of Spare Bricks i believe - Rogers stuff became all very indulgent and away from the Floyd lineage... i love KAOS and Hitch-hiking though... bleeding hearts band have served roger well... especially Graham Broad on drums.
@jrock2264 You mean 30 years. Already in 10 years things can become completely different, so, no wonder that A Momentary Lapse Of Reaons is totally different from Animals. People sometimes forget that the classic Pink Floyd happened within a 10 years span. From 1971 with Meddle to 1979 with The Wall. 10 years is a lot and nothing at the same time! People also forget that before the classic Floyd there was Syd's era, which was very different also. The point is: everything changes, comes and goes.
hmm when waters existed thier songs were dark , deep very psychedelic. But when waters left i could feel simplicity in the band, they did not try to something more unique when waters left. With poppish elements i could feel their songs were positive , optimistic and the lyrics were inspiring rather than pulling me off to a dark depth spiral.
I mostly agree, but i do believe Rogers deserves credit where credit is do..although For me personally Gilmore does more for me than almost anything else in this world!
@1whitneypage Agreed. I'll give Waters his props. But Floyd would not have been Floyd w/out Gilmour. I can't say the same about Waters, at least after he left.
I hear ya... Roger was no Syd but he led them well.. Personally I believe Rogers best work was after he left Floyd and Dave truly proved himself as a leader after he left.. Cudos to you Dave Gilmore.. Your guitar playing is awesome but the tangent you led Floyd on after \Roger left is nothing less than sensational!!!
@ucjbaseball22 I think it's funny that you try to define what a fan is. Who set you higher than the rest, and gave you the right to define how a person thinks?
@ucjbaseball22 WOW! where to begin w/u: floyd your major influence, claiming a musician(moot point, can't prove/disprove),and respecting all music genres and their origins sounds great! but to go from that to writing rog is basically musically impotent - HYPOCRITICAL. worse, u think your opinion the mark all fans opinions should be judged by - MORONIC, and rog didn't split floyd, he tried, but lost in court. dave's my favorite but he and rog were required for floyds genius. u need to read more
c'è gente che non capisce una mazza di musica: io avrei dato la palla sinistra di mio fratello solo per sentire David Gilmour dal vivo o anche solo per stringergli la mano! E vedere questa nuova generazione che spreca la sua gioventù ascoltando roba che viene spacciata per musica mi fa incazzare parecchio! Grandi i Pink Floyd, e Grande Dave Gilmour!!!! (ps: la sua voce non è per niente invecchiata; due sue bellissime canzoni sono So Far Away e A Pocketful of Stones )
Put it any way you want, David Gilmour has some amazing talent, his voice has aged, he might not hit the higher notes as he used to but you gotta respect the man for his contribution in the best band ever ... RIP RW ...
This is a phenomenal performance. Especially the last verse and interlude to the solo, it's infathomable in some strange PF way. You can't quite touch it, but it's there and it's awesome.
We need him back. Let's do something !

Should have a little more respect for Roger Waters, he lived through hell - crawl out of your shell and maybe think about the suffering Roger Waters had to endure. H'e alive and Roger Waters Made some great music, deep words - waves of emotion poured out of him!!!

This band was too good to stay together. We were lucky to get as much of them as we did. I'm only 26, but Pink Floyd still reminds me of my childhood and when I was carefree. God willing, Gilmour and Waters will tour together...

Waters is very talented thats without saying. I never listened or heard of any of those other Water alblums except for the Final Cut which i wouldnt buy . Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell & On an Island thats all I have to say !! It would be great for a reunion regardless but I feel thats wishful thinking !!

@deserve100 - I wouldn't count Final Cut due to it being one of the worst Pink Floyd albums ever written. Seriously. Sure the early stuff was weird but it was better than Final Cut. The Classic era including Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall were all better than Final Cut. Same with the next two. Momentary Lapse and Division Bell, both great albums much better than Final Cut.
Macconator2010 7 months ago
@Macconator2010 I disagree while the final cut is more of a Waters solo album.....it has its merits sure it doesn't compare to earlier work but to denounve it as shit isn't right either. The post war dream, the fletcher memorial home and the final vut are great tunes....but more so if you enjoy a very Roger Waters dominant album.

I agree that Floyd is all about Gilmour . Waters essentially has not done too much since The Wall alblum, Gilmour on the otherhand has produce 3 alblums 2 with Floyd and 1 solo and they were all outstanding !!!
11esti 8 months ago 2
@11esti Come on give Waters some credit since the Wall he wrote the Final Cut, Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Radio KAOS, Amused to Death, When the Wind Blows soundtrack, and Ca Ira (an Opera). Also add to Gilmour's list since the Wall his About Face solo album. If you want to debate the quality of Roger's solo work I admit I KAOS is weak, haven't heard much from When the Wind Blows, I like Final Cut, like most of Pros and Cons, and think Amused to Death is great. Only heard bits of Ca Ira

@jaruel37 - Great post Waters era songs like: Learning To Fly, One Slip, On The Turning Away, Sorrow, Poles Apart, Marooned, A Great Day For Freedom, Wearing The Inside Out, Take It Back, Coming Back To Life, Lost For Words and High Hopes are timeless and will outclass the entire Final Cut album every time.

I agree, Floyd aged very well after Roger's departure, but I saw The Wall last weekend, and was moved to tears several times. It was INCREDIBLE. I've honestly never had a better night. FYI I'm 18.
gilbertgodlyddd 8 months ago 2
You hit the nail on the head! Waters made something out of nothing because he didn't want them to make a name for themselves without him. Jealousy is a terrible thing and Waters never got over it. I saw them in concert two times in the 90s, had tickets in 2004 but did not go due to a death in the family. Gave those tickets away. I am going to be 53, age is just a number to me.

He can't solo anymore like he used to in his early years. Age catching up? He hit a lot of dissonance in his improv on the solo toward the end. Its an OK rendition of the solo, nothing like the VH1 "Turning away" solo or the DSOT solo or even the 1987 era Venice show solo for the same song. Those years were different and they played forever during a song.

@fundyracer do you know the story dude, Dave should not sing this song, they have not rehearsed it at all, it was his joke, or trick to play this. All the band was shocked and supprised when he started this in Venice (in remeber of Delicate of thunder tour), but how professionals are they, not played the song for 12 years and still a great performance....

@gilmourguitar123 Nope, not kidding. Waters may be a genius but Floyd lived on without him. He did nothing without Floyd except to keep rehashing The Wall over and over. Floyd seasoned after Waters left and got tighter. I'm not saying they weren't great with Waters, I'm just saying that they were still Floyd when Waters left and their music was still good. Does this sound like Animals? No. But all bands change and mature. Animals was 20 years before this was recorded. FYI, I'm 46.

@jrock2264 IMO; A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell were my favorite floyd albums, and im 17. Ive loved Floyd since.. Pft since the day I was born too, Gilmour inspired me to play guitar haha. I agree with gilmourguitar on that one.

@jrock2264 The final cut was very wall-esque too... working title of Spare Bricks i believe - Rogers stuff became all very indulgent and away from the Floyd lineage... i love KAOS and Hitch-hiking though... bleeding hearts band have served roger well... especially Graham Broad on drums.

phreaker92 6 months ago
@jrock2264 You mean 30 years. Already in 10 years things can become completely different, so, no wonder that A Momentary Lapse Of Reaons is totally different from Animals. People sometimes forget that the classic Pink Floyd happened within a 10 years span. From 1971 with Meddle to 1979 with The Wall. 10 years is a lot and nothing at the same time! People also forget that before the classic Floyd there was Syd's era, which was very different also. The point is: everything changes, comes and goes.

TheSlapdown 6 months ago
hmm when waters existed thier songs were dark , deep very psychedelic. But when waters left i could feel simplicity in the band, they did not try to something more unique when waters left. With poppish elements i could feel their songs were positive , optimistic and the lyrics were inspiring rather than pulling me off to a dark depth spiral.

I hear ya... Roger was no Syd but he led them well.. Personally I believe Rogers best work was after he left Floyd and Dave truly proved himself as a leader after he left.. Cudos to you Dave Gilmore.. Your guitar playing is awesome but the tangent you led Floyd on after \Roger left is nothing less than sensational!!!

E vedere questa nuova generazione che spreca la sua gioventù ascoltando roba che viene spacciata per musica mi fa incazzare parecchio! Grandi i Pink Floyd, e Grande Dave Gilmour!!!! (ps: la sua voce non è per niente invecchiata; due sue bellissime canzoni sono So Far Away e A Pocketful of Stones )
