I have always loved Pink Floyd and the haunting guitar of David. I think we have a lot to thank the UK for. All of the greatest bands of my era came from there and I'm in awe of the amount of amazing music that was produced by them.

@LordChoxy as you wrote, roger WAS the pink floyd. in the past, not now.

but i don't agree with david gilmour fans too.

roger waters was the floyd, and gilmour was the pink.

rick wright and nick mason were the glue between them.

This song has the sound of later-period Floyd and was a cover song. If you look at the rest of Gilmour's first solo album, you easily understand why this was the crucial track. Gilmour-led Floyd was a corporate construct, all the songs written by committee, based on a carefully-manicured version of the band's later sound. This is the track that made a vision of Pink Floyd as it existed from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason on possible. Gilmour could make the sound, but couldn't write the songs.

The most amazing guitarist to ever live. Hands down.

@pigsontherun Well said. Indeed it is the band as a whole that comes together to become that energy called 'Pink Floyd'.

@Driver8852 - Yeah that 'progressive' edge. Love it! Complex, yet beautiful... a tough thing to pull off. My heart, mind and soul blends into stuff like Yes, Genesis, Floyd etc... The whole band of course is a collective genius... but I must admit that Gilmour was an astonishing seed... composer, poet, singer, guitar player, philosopher. I am certain that you are of similar acumen. It takes as much talent to be an audience as it does to be a performer... both count on it to be 'entertained'.

[MarcelRGuimond]

Such an inspiring poet. He can compose, sing, and play guitar beyond the horizon. Such finesse, such a singing tone in every dimension... creates astounding shapes, colors, textures and contours like a master sculptor... and understated, yet powerful and devastatingly beautiful... sigh... :-)

@taariqtaariq: Acid - really... I am shocked. Who could have imagined that he ever tried ACID?

@Driver8852: Well, not *all* the greatest, but majority of the greatest did. Scores of UK musicians took up the output of the black blues pioneers from the US and cranked it back out of Marshall amps as Rock and Roll, then quickly bent it into totally new forms of music. Less than 10 years after the Beatles first records arrived here in the US, UK musicians were innovating in directions that fired imaginations worldwide.
