David Gilmour -- On an Island + tour Options

[Tabucky]

I just saw David Gilmour in concert on Wednesday at Radio City Music Hall, and I must say, it was absolutely incredible. Definitely the best concert I've ever been to, and that's saying a lot. When Echoes was played, it was pure musical orgasm. I think I can die happy now. I never thought I'd ever see even one-fourth of Pink Floyd perform live, but I saw TWO-fourths (Richard Wright, keyboardist was also there). All the classics were played, and the new album done live was truly brilliant. Comfortably Numb was beyond amazing to close the show -- theres nothing like having it played right in front of you like that. David is a master, plain and simple. God, I am still getting over this.

Is/has anyone (been) fortunate enough to see David live on his tour? Who has the new album? Anyone who is a fan of great music should check out David's new album, On An Island. It's a fantastic record, easily my favorite release of the year so far. Where We Start, Take a Breath, On an Island, and a Pocketful of Stones are my favorite tracks from it, but every number is truly outstanding. Highly recommended.

Great album. Tied with synchestra for my top album of the year so far. But then Radioheads new album will be out soon... so I don't think those will remain in first place for much longer.

Oh yeah, that's right, I'll have to check that one out. I think I'll order it for my birthday (I don't have to pay! Woohoo...).
