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.

David Gilmour is my all time favorite musician, I really wish he came up to New England. I wanted to go to see him in NYC, but the timing didn't work out

I'm sure the show was AWESOME! Roger Waters is playing up here in September, he puts on a great show too, but I'd much rather see Gilmour

I have quite a few DVDs of Pink Floyd with and without Waters, Roger Waters with his own band and David Gilmour solo. They are all great! I'm hoping this tour comes out on DVD.

I haven't picked up On An Island yet, I will hopefully get it this weekend. He is supposed to be re-releasing his two early solo albums David Gilmour and About Face. If you don't already have these you should get them!
