I just got home from seeing David Gilmour at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. My buddy got us seats thru his job with cablevision.......Orchestra, row KK seats 407 and 408....translates into dead center of the 11th row from the stage in the center section. The guy next to me said he paid $750 for his ticket!
One word to describe David's guitar tonight...........CRISP!
First set was his new album "On an Island". They did the entire album, but not in order, 'cause right after the third song two "guest" vocalist (who also perform on the album) came out.....David Crosby and Graham Nash......the place just went nuts at that point!
Second set was all older Pink Floyd material from "Dark Side of the Moon", "Division Bell", they did "Comfortably Numb" for the encore, they even did "Echoes"!
Had to be the best concert I've been to in the last few years, and at my age, all I go to now are the guaranteed GOOD shows (Stones, Who, Yes, U2, etc., etc.....)
Needless to say, I'm gonna be wound up for a bit before I can get any sleep.
