That's awesome to hear he is going back out. I'll try to go if he is ever close.

Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets hitting the road in 2022. Thought about hitting this up on the last tour but ultimately passed. Love the BD release, gave me a full appreciation for what Nick and the guys were bringing, and they hit it out of the park. And the date in Seattle is on a Saturday, which makes it much more tempting.

My younger brother and I were considering going, as this will be here in February, but it's on a damn Tuesday night, and concerts during the week just suck for me now.  I suspect if one of us really wants to go and bugs the other enough, the other will give in, but I'd be surprised if that happens.

Same here about the weeknights. I could say it is because it's hard for my wife to put both kids to bed by herself, (in reality, it is - as my 4 year old is in a significant "I want Daddy" phase right now) but I just don't like being out late on a night when I have to work the next day. And by "late" I mean past 8p.

Haha, I know what you mean.  My sleep sucks anyway, and I could always take off the next morning and go in for the afternoon at 1 pm (and I have tons of days to use), but I'd be awake at 6 am anyway, which means I'd be dead tired all day if I took off in the morning or not.

I swear today I woke up at EXACTLY the same time my alarm goes off on work days. I woke up on my own, looked at the clock, and was all SERIOUSLY! IT'S A HOLIDAY!

Anyway, on topic.... I'll probably skip this, and just devote more time to watching this great video release. A little weird to think it would mean I'd get to see 1/2 of Pink Floyd (sorry, I am not including you in my count, Syd) when I long ago accepted I'd never get to see them live; and Guy, one of my favorite musicians.

Even though I could not logistically make it work at the time due to work and other things, I will still forever kick myself for not going to Chicago with a buddy and his lady friend to see David Gilmour on the Rattle That Lock tour, but I still have memories of seeing Floyd at Arrowhead in KC in '94 to keep me happy, I suppose.  :biggrin: :biggrin:

It would be a fascinating document, since their music evolved so much live.  On the Immersion box sets there's a composite of a live show - meaning, if you have DSOTM and WYWH, there are live tracks on both sets that together are most of a '74 show from London, I believe - but nothing complete that I know of.   The Early Years box set covers some of that stuff now; there are live versions of The Man And The Journey, Echoes, and Atom Heart Mother (which evolved a lot on stage) but there are still no complete shows from the DSOTM roll out, or the subsequent tours where they played You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving And Drooling.

I am a little late to this, but to confirm, the '74 London show is available in its entirety across three releases. The live tracks on the 2CD Experience editions of WYWH and DSOTM (also on their respective Immersion box sets) make up the main set. So you do get both You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving And Drooling in official live releases, as well as a pre-release version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond as a single track, not broken in half as it is found on WYWH.

Unfortunately, the only way to get the Echoes encore is to buy the full box set of the The Early Early Years. It is on the "Bonus" Contunu/ation disc that was not released individually like all the other parts were.

I kicked myself for not seeing his first tour. Not making the same mistake twice. Got my tix for DC in January.

I just bought the Rome one off of iTunes. It sounds like a raw, almost bootleg quality recordings that have not been mixed or mastered in any way (definitely not up to par with the material in The Early Years). That being said, I will eventually get all of them. Still a very enjoyable listen.

Those shows are from what is probably my favorite period of live Floyd.  (Inter)stellar!

The titles seem to be "bootleggy" in nature; I don't know if that is meant as a jab or a pun.  As the press statement says, the releases themselves are for copyright reasons.

Not a bad little song. I wish David would've sung a little of it, but it was done for a good cause.  Always nice to hear David playing guitar. 

Not surprisingly, nimrods loyal to a fault to Roger are losing their minds over this, but those people lost the plot decades ago.  :lol :lol

Sorry for the bump... is it wrong to think this would rank among my Top 20 PF songs? This is just fantastic. Imagine Instagram'ing yourself singing a song for 45 seconds, then finding out David Gilmour gets his buddies together to write music to it.

A simple song, a simple message, a simple video, no grandstanding... Contrast that with the video Roger made supporting Ukraine, and then birdwalking to denounce Bush and the Iraq War, Israel's occupation of Palestine, and basically every war and conflict that has happened in the past century, and how we must stand with BLM, BDS, and the rest of the alphabet soup of approved organizations. By the end I forgot what the original topic was.

YES!

I was being a bit hyperbolic. I don't mean to say this could supplant a vast number of their fantastic tunes. But it is way better than it should be, if you get my thinking.

Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets rebooked their US tour. The Seattle show is on Halloween, which is always a big day for our family. Oof. Looks like they are playing Echoes this time around too. Damn I would love to see that live, even if it is just Nick in the band and no David or Rick.

I think it's great that Gilmour is using the huge name Pink Floyd as a platform to do something good.

But that song is just... not good at all in my opinion. Playing is lazy, production is just bland and lacks attention to detail. David not singing doesn't make it better.

Has anyone seen David Gilmour live recently? If so, could you help with some questions? I was told that he talks about politics in between some of the songs. How much does that happen? Also what's the general vibe like? Lots of profanity or is it family-friendly-ish?

I assume you mean Roger Waters, right?

Because outside of a few one-offs where he played like one or two songs, David Gilmour has not toured since 2016, and he never talks politics at concerts (he rarely says much between songs, IIRC).

I've not seen Gilmour live solo (I've seen him with Pink Floyd) but in all his concert videos he rarely says anything at all to the audience, and while I've heard him swear in interviews, I can't imagine he would on stage. He's a very "stiff upper lip" kind of guy. Now, Roger Waters on the other hand.......

As Kev pointed out, I meant Roger Waters (whoops)! I’ve never followed Pink Floyd super closely. How would you describe Waters’ live presence?
