Nice serene feel...but a bit malaise. DG is capable of so much more.

This strange people do not have anything useful to do in your work day than spend his life to harass others?
Then do not complain that there is unemployment ... do not do anything useful, apart from these acts of censorship itself of monopolies?
I think David Gilmour and Music Community does not acknowledge these acts of censorship.
This is a simple Interview!!
Please gentleman, live and let live. Because...yes we can. |

Gilmour, Crosby, Nash - "Find The Cost Of Freedom" Live (2006)
"David Crosby and Graham Nash singing Stephen Still's song "Find The Cost Of Freedom " with David Gilmour."
"First saw CSN & Y play this 40 years ago. Still gives me chills."
"When they harmonize the voices.. it's just crazy! The tempo of the song just cuts my breath... great musicians! "

Just a few notes on this. David and Polly married in 1994 when he was 48 and she was 32. Not too terribly great an age difference. Plus they seem to have been happily married ever since and have had 3 kids (4 if you count Polly's son from an earlier marriage who David adopted). |

As so often is the case with artists from groups when they go solo, all that this shows is that he really did need the rest of PF working together as a group to actually create decent tunes for him to play on. |

I have full confidence that NO ONE who listens to this station is not aware of that. I've got $5 that says no one didn't know that. Takers?

Now you see, I like this...always liked his voice, the backing vocals cosby and nash added. His guitar is as good as ever. So what if its 'typical' Gilmour?? It ain't that just because it's Gilmour or Floyd ya gotta like it, it's because it's just plain good f—-ing music for the ears!!

Yet another musician who needs the discipline of his bandmates to produce material of the quality produced by theb band. In other words, please don't compare this to DSOTM or any of the PF stuff prior to it. It's self-satisfied cack. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's soulless, but it definitely doesn't have the subtlety that PF were capable of. And it doesn't matter how good a musician was previously - each piece of music he/she produces MUST be judged on its own merits, just as DSOTM would be if it were to be released today, and I'm sure that the real critics (at least the ones I read in Uncut, Mojo or Word magazines) would recognise it for its strengths. BTW, if you haven't caught the 4.1 mix that's floating around the internet if you look hard enough, I would thoroughly recommend it. It's based directly on the original quadraphonic mix that Alan Parsons did but which was never released, and it really is a more powerful version than I have ever heard before, and does the work great justice. |

Don't miss the DVD that followed this release, available for rent from your favorite mail order rental enterprise. Besides another look at Rick Wright doing what he did best (RIP, Rick), there are several guest artist appearances.

One wo/man's ceiling, is another wo/man's floor. In their day Waters, and Gilmour earned enough
poetic capital to write total crap for the rest of their lives and still be par with any and all others. I happen to like this piece as it shows another side (diversity) of Gilmour not often seen, and I'm sure that if "Dark Side of the Moon were to be released today, any of these new generation rap-happy critics would be thumbs down-ing one of the most brilliant and cohesive albums ever made.
Perhaps infected with "Ghetto Envy" and who pedestal the self-serving, money over art, 'gangster's regurgitation they consider music i.e. woud be better off spending their time as critics of genre that "Thanks the Gods" Bill doesn't play. Gilmour is a rock and roll icon and has been since the late 60's. Which speaks volumes to his talent, innovation, and pioneering of a sound which is Pink Floyd's alone. Also, hats off to Syd Barrett (RIP), Richard Wright (RIP) and Nick Mason.
I wonder what many of those who expect but one speed/style and genre from Pink Floyd (Gilmour-Waters) think of Stevie Ray Vaughn's slow, melodic, and graceful pieces i.e.
Diversity is what makes the "very best" better.

Seems like a lovely vision. But in the hands of Gilmour, the subject matter doesn't matter. I still want to kill myself by the end of the song.

Gilmore's work is like Pink Floyd on Vallium. That's part of the joy. Dave can do his thing any old time as far as I'm concerned. Love it.
