  1. “Gilmour is to tour the UK and Europe for the first time in nine years”

    Yet he disbanded Pink Floyd because he said they were too old o tour.

    Kinda lost a little respect there Mr. Gilmour!

    1. You don’t have to respect or like the artist. Just be thankful that he came out with some new material that we can all enjoy.

  2. David is awesome! Feb 27 1980 at Nassau Coliseum I saw The Wall. I saw “About Face” in 1984 at the Bushnell in Hartford, Ct. I was very lucky to be at Radio City Music Hall for “On an Island” in 2006 I will go whereever he plays in the US. “Louder than words” from The Endless River is an incredible tune, it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Go David Gilmour!
