duey Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I am so totally pumped! On Tuesday, I scored two good seats to see David Gilmour at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on April 6. He's only doing two dates in NY, two in Chicago, two in LA, two in Oakland and two in Toronto. Those are the only North American dates, and he's playing the smaller, theater-type venues. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 thats not a tour, thats a weekend get away! why wouldn't someone like that do a tour that his/her fans could access?

Movinon Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I saw him about 15 years ago in Orando- absolutely kicked assss!!! 539891[/snapback] I saw him with the Waterless Floyd at RFK back in the late 80's. I had hoped one day Floyd would reunite for a final tour, sadly that will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Rick worked with Dave on the album, and there have been rumors that he will join the tour too. Nick also helped on the album, but I've heard it's unlikely that he will tour. Now...Roger lives in NYC. I wonder what the chance is of him joining Dave for a song or two.

Show was very stripped down from a Floyd show, focus was on the music. Excellent show. He played pretty much everything off About Face and the 2 instrumentals off his 1st album. He also played Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell. I had hoped he'd play There's No Way Out of Here but he didn't, probably because he didn't write that one. Like I said, it was an excellent show. There was one strange thing about the show. Gilmour and the Pretenders were scheduled to play in Buffalo about the same time. Pretenders had their biannual death in the family and cancelled the show. Pretenders had an opening act scheduled, Gilmour didn't. They had the Pretenders opening band Icicle Works open for Gilmour. Bad choice. The band was decent, but totally wrong as an opening act for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had Mick Ralphs from Bad Company playing in his band IIRC. Oops, Shea's Edited December 22, 2005 by Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisper to a Scream was the only song of theirs that I ever heard on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 540281[/snapback] You can get 'em on empiretickets.com, but the cheapest I saw were ~$300.00. Some going for over $1,000. I'd *love* to see them. Was already to put myself in the dog house by buying two seats in Toronto, but there's no way I'm spending that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
