I have to say I am disappointed with that set list. I was hoping for a few songs from the first two albums and some Floyd that he hasn't played on his own. Dogs would be my preference, I have heard Wywh so many times that I am starting to dislike it. The highlight on the last tour was Echoes,I honestly don't see a highlight here if he sticks with this set.

He doesn't really like Dogs though, he's said that in interviews.

I thought it was a good set list, I can't comment on the new songs but there seems to be a good few of them, plus Us and Them / Money / Sorrow / Run Like Hell have never been performed by Gilmour solo. Sorrow's good, at least the intro is. :-)

I don't think he likes to do Echoes without Richard Wright, but he did that last tour anyway. I would've like to see some of his first solo album, like There's No Way Out of Here, No Way, or Cry From the Street.

Good interview just there. I saw him in the stadium in 1984 and Run Like Hell was played on that tour and it was brilliant. I just wanted more solo Gilmour than just Floyd but looking forward to the RAH on the 25th. At his age I did not expect Echoes again plus the fact that Rick has passed.

RIP Rick, seven years gone today.

Really enjoying the vibe of the new album, absolutely delighted that he has Rado involved, even if only on one track. Its a bit of a full circle moment.

rednik

Just in from a great show. I will put up some photos when I get home. The man is incredible.

I see David Gilmours new album is number 1 in the UK. Also he is featured on 'Later with Jools Holland' this coming week.

eviltimeban

I haven't been impressed with what I heard... it sounds very 80s MOR. Not like On An Island, which was more Floydian.

I haven't bought it yet, which is a first for me, for Floyd related stuff.

Not surprising, as Jools guests on the album.

Funny enough, I was listening to it the other night on the surround system and my wife came into the room just after arriving home from being out shopping and said "... Pink Floyd?"

rednik

I was disappointed when I saw the setlist but after watching the show I thought he got it spot on, it was even better than 2006. The band were fantastic and the guy on sax Joao Mello was absolutely unreal. The RAH is a superb venue and for the first half of the show the ushers were spending their time chasing cameras and phones. Luckily I managed to get a few. This is the third time I have seen David solo since 1984, I just hope it is not the last he just gets better with age.

rednik

The last one.

^ Great pics. All said, I've love to see him live (as long as I was seated!)

Well you'll get that with "the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd".

Anyone else going?, I'm off to the Vue...

Chelon

How was it in the Vue?

I made the (probable) mistake of going to Dundrum. Liked the film and the interview but feel it did lose impact on the relatively small screen there.

Moreover the sound could have done with being cranked up several notches - also the surround speakers appeared to be silent for the whole film. Have attended Dundrum movies many times since the place opened and it's not the first time I've noticed this. I actually wrote to them once (no reply) - I'm either missing something or else they've never been setup correctly since the place opened...

K.Flyer

The Vue was pretty damn good.
They are in the middle of upgrading the place and the room where it was shown was one that had been finished.
The screen was a good decent size, so when the cameras had panned back fully you could still appreciate the detail of the enormous staging. The sound was great, surround nice and loud, but not very loud (although I would have enjoyed more had it been a bit louder ) and nice new comfy seats to enjoy it all.

Here's some of my photo's from Thursday 24th Sept.

For All You Pink Floyd Vinyl Lovers. ..

It doesn't say if they will be using the original master tapes or a secondary source.

From Pink Floyd's own site..

THE COMPLETE PINK FLOYD CATALOGUE TO BE AVAILABLE ON VINYL

On Friday 3rd June 2016, Pink Floyd Records will begin the reintroduction of the Pink Floyd catalogue on vinyl for the first time in over two decades. The first four records will be The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful of Secrets, the soundtrack from the film More, and the 2-LP set Ummagumma. Pink Floyd Records will reproduce the vinyl catalogue throughout the year with release dates being announced at regular intervals. In the meantime, all Pink Floyd records are now available on CD, digital and most streaming platforms.

Special care has been taken to replicate the original packaging. The first batch of releases, mastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman will be pressed on 180gram vinyl for optimum sound quality.

Pink Floyd Records releases will be manufactured and distributed by Warner Music for the UK and Europe and by Sony Music for North America and the rest of the world.

No doubt they will be pricey - most of the vinyl I've seen recently has been around the €25 mark.

Far cry from a few years ago when you could see bins of anything you wanted stacked up for €2.99 etc....

I wonder will they fully replicate the flip back glossy covers and inner sleeves of PATGOD and SFOS, and will DSofTM have a solid triangle.

This IS Truly Awesome News For Pink Floyd Fans!


Although I have a copy of almost every early bootleg recording, I have longed for the day that some of these tracks would officially see the light of day.

Shine freak'in On!


Pink Floyd the Early Years 1965 - 1972

Pink Floyd will debut previously unreleased tracks as part of a giant box set that explores the experimental rock legends' foundations.
The Early Years - 1965-1972 goes on sale November 11 is a comprehensive 27-disc boxset that sees Pink Floyd delve into their vast music archive to produce a deluxe package that includes 7 individual book-style volumes, featuring much previously unreleased material. The Early Years box set contains unreleased tracks, BBC Radio Sessions, remixes, outtakes and alternative versions over an incredible 11 hours, 45 mins of audio (made up of 130+ tracks) and live and TV performance in over 14 hours of audio-visual material. The content includes over 20 unreleased songs, more than 7 hours of previously unreleased live audio and over 5 hours of rare concert footage, along with 5 meticulously produced 7” singles in replica sleeves, collectable memorabilia, feature films and new sound mixes. Previously unreleased tracks include 1967’s Vegetable Man and In The Beechwoods, which have been mixed for the first time, specially for this release.

The Early Years 1965-1972 will give collectors the opportunity to hear the evolution of the band and witness their part in cultural revolutions from their earliest recordings and studio sessions to the years prior to the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon, one of the biggest selling albums of all time. From the single Arnold Layne to the 20-minute epic Echoes, fans will see the invention of psychedelic progressive rock via an insightful collection that explores the Pink Floyd story from the time Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett met at London’s Regent Street Polytechnic, through to Syd’s departure and David Gilmour joining to form the iconic line-up.


The box set - which also includes seven accompanying books, of which six will go on sale separately in 2017 - does not cover the peak of Pink Floyd's fame.

Been asked this question a million times - my favourite track. So hard to choose. But I love 2 tracks, both of which I have never heard on any radio station:

1) Poles Apart from The Division Bell &
2) One of These Days on the PULSE album

So happy to have seen it performed live in Wroclaw last month!

eviltimeban

The boxset looks amazing, but at over €400, it's a spicy meatball. Pity the 2-CD version won't have all the key unreleased stuff. I guess I'm going to have to fork out for the whole thing!

Went to see David Gilmour last Friday at the Albert Hall.
I last saw him live with Pink Floyd at Earls Court in 1980 performing The Wall.
The gig was the best I have ever seen in nearly 40 years of gig going. This man just seems to get better with age.
Sound was spot on and every song performed with typical precision and a lot of enthusiasm.
To say I was impressed would be a huge understatement. I was simply blown away. The audience was similarly enthusiastic and the atmosphere was magic.
If he tours again, make the effort, as Pink Floyd fans you won't be disappointed, just amazed.

poundhound

Excollier, I was at that show too and agree with everything you said.

I travelled over last year to one of the Royal Albert Hall shows and it was such a great experience, I jumped at the chance to go again.

The crowd were great on Friday. They completely lost their **** during the solo to Fat Old Sun.

It was also interesting to see "Run Like Hell" as an unofficial cue for those on the floor to abandon their seats and rush to the front of the stage.

As always with the Pink Floyd boys, the visuals were first class, the sound was crystal clear and loud as f@#k.

I've got photos of the gig, I must try and get them up here.

If Gilmour tours again, an Irish promoter has got to throw the kitchen sink at him to get him to play Ireland.

He would sell out the 3 Arena in seconds.

Were you at the show that Benedict Cumberbatch appeared at? Just wondering how that went down.

As most of you know, Pink Floyd have released their colossus of a box set, The Early Years 1965 - 1972, containing many hours of audio and video material as well as replica vinyl singles and replica memorabilia.
Amazon asking prices are now starting at £300.00 (going up to £700.00).
Anyways, I found this on Yootoob, which gives an insight of what's inside the big black box (representing their old Bedford van).
Best of all on the video is the very enjoyable chat with Nick Mason, who looks back over the years and how they made some of the decisions piecing together the box set.

Anybody like any of the barrett solo stuff? Although a lot of it is raw and somewhat unfinished songs like gigolo aunt and dominoes are imo truly great.
But I hover between piper and animals as my favorite Floyd album depending on my mood, but they are all excellent in there own way

i do! it's really so cool and has everything i like. the songs are in a way ethereal and weird and captivating. i like his solo music best than anyone's of Pink Floyd

The boxset has now been broken up into six individual packages, at more affordable prices. Some of them are 1 CD / 1 DVD sets, others are 2 CD / 2 DVD.

http://the-early-years.pinkfloyd.com/

From the looks of it, the 65-67 set looks like being a good purchase, as well as the '69 set (as it features "The Man / The Journey" in full).

1970 would be worth getting for the Zabriske Point stuff, and that BBC radio session is really good too.

The '71 and '72 don't look that great, unless you want a CD version of the Pompeii concert, which is worth getting - but probably available online easily enough.

The clip sounds nice. The production is by Nigel Godrich so at least it's going to sound good.
