Ouh, forgot to watch that last night. Thanks for posting, Buck.

David was great on Fallon. Loved the part about he and his wife watching DSOM synched to Wizard of Oz.

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Yes that was hilarious - he even seems a tad freaked out by the whole DSotM/Wizard Of Oz thing.
My only criticism was with the drums during the song. Questlove is a great drummer and a mind-blowingly knowledgeable music historian, but his drums seemed a too loud and a li'l stiff for last night's song. Otherwise twas beautiful, particularly the counterpoint guitar.
Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Very excited for tonight’s show!!
Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Just pulled two tickets in section 109 for $146 a-piece all in. The seats will have some obstruction of the stage by speakers, but I'm hoping to luck out and have a decent view. See you all tonight
Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Section 115 at MSG never disappoints. We had the best seats in the house tonight. 4th row side stage. My fifth show was the best so far. Thank you David.

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
I went to the MSG tour yesterday before the show and they said it was built specifically with the wood roof to make the arena’s sound quality like an intimate theater. I was not aware of that, but after last night I see what she was saying! Best arena sound I have ever heard by far other than the sphere! David was amazing and his daughter was good too! So glad I went!

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
I’ll be watching the vids on YouTube. Have fun tonight!
Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
This was an amazing tour! I got to go 5 nights and I cannot say enough good things about the show. David Gilmour is a master at his craft. It was so evident at all the shows I saw.

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
It doesn't seem like David has lost anything since his peak days in pink floyd. He’s maybe even better from all the knowledge and experience! I could find no chinks in the armor so to speak at the MSG show on Saturday. His singing is still really good too!

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Really glad I went and that it went smoothly. Less then 10 minutes/10 miles in my car the day after getting home I lost power steering/power brakes and had to get towed so that could have been a lot worse. I only drove to the train but would have been major interfering with timing or could have been worse happening on the highway.
His last 2 tours I saw at Radio City and while the light show here can't really compare it was still incredible what he was able to do with his lights and overall show at MSG. As mentioned he is such a master and always been a master of bending those strings! His voice still sounds great to. I could honestly do without the heavy popular song sets, I love that's he's doing the stuff that he really likes and wants to play. It was all so good to.
I remember the On An Island tour I looked at sets and he was switching 2 songs, I was really hoping for the Fat Old Sun but got Wot's... uh the Deal, which was beautiful. Turns out I'd get Fat Od Sun the next 2 tours and never would have got that nice tune from Obscured otherwise. In the Q&A from the program this tour, David says they'll change 2 or 3 songs around on a nightly basis but I guess it worked out better for the band/show not mixing it up.

Re: David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl!
Had an amazing time last night. So glad I made it. David's voice and guitar playing are still fantastic. Hard to believe he's 78.
