It’s also great to see how they communicate and clearly are enjoying them selves. The current touring band feature familiar faces and a couple of new ones and they sound incredibly coherent and tight. The bandĭavid like to work with people he knows and people he can trust in realising his musical vision. Very intimate and low key, while mind blowing at the same time. You almost get the feeling of seeing mid 70s Floyd in a small club. It’s a bit strange though, to see the screen and all the impressive lighting on such a small stage. The lights were amazing and so intense that I felt exhausted afterwards! It’s hard to beat what you see on Pulse but I actually think they did so on songs like Astronomy Domine and Run Like Hell.
Mark Brickman has done an amazing job with designing beautiful lighting for each song. Also great to see the original films for Money and Us & Them. Some basic saturation and contrast adjustments and they’d look new. Although still in great quality, they could have brushed them up a tad. I never thought I’d see the Pulse films for Shine On and High Hopes again but it was so cool to have them up there. New to the design of course, is the inclusion of good old Mr Screen. Much of the lighting is very similar to what they used on the last tour. The stage and the overall production is very classy and minimalistic. The last night, we were sitting high up, which revealed new details in the music and David’s guitars sounded more balanced and much warmer.

You don’t hear the full PA mix and David’s cabinets hits you right in the forehead. The first two nights I was sitting in the arena, close to the stage. It’s great to experience the same venue from different angles.
He did so in 2006 and, while I had my concerns this time as well, I’m happy to say that all my doubts were once again proven wrong. He often looks tired in interviews and not always up to standards on guest appearances. I’ve seen David numerous times over the years and it’s always hard to know what to expect. I was lucky enough to be present at all three nights and the experience has been overwhelming. David Gilmour has just finished three nights, and the first leg of his stay, at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
