@FrankRo52456258@20th_Centurygal Waters was a great lyricist but a mediocre musician. Gilmour was in a different stratosphere as a musician and one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.
@lpeter12654471@TheExtremeMusi1 The music for this song was largely written by Gilmour and Wright. They added added melody, musicality, and soul to Pink Floyd’s music that Waters’ solo albums lacked. There would have been no DSOTM without them and Waters and Pink Floyd would have disappeared into obscurity.
@TheExtremeMusi1 I saw them live in Vancouver, BC during this tour. They opened with Astronomy Domine and this was the second song. What an incredible concert!
@TheExtremeMusi1 Loverboy in ‘82. They played in a basketball arena in Bozeman, MT and the acoustics were so bad it was hard to even tell what song they were playing.
@trailrunner100m@TheExtremeMusi1 I saw Van Halen not long after their first album came out. It was an all-day outdoor festival with eight bands and they were like #4 in the lineup with Head East and Ten Years After as the headliners. They blew everyone else away. Of course, they were young and hungry back then.
@rockstarian David Gilmour in ‘94 during Pink Floyd’s Division Bell tour.
I’ve also seen Van Halen, Clapton, and Santana live. All great but Gilmour was the best.
@Steve8543997960@JVMonte2 Yep. That’s when Roger Waters’ megalomania was at its peak. He cut out Gilmour from having any say in the production of it and basically treated him and the others like studio musicians for what was essentially a solo album.
@historyrock_ I saw Pink Floyd in Vancouver, BC during this tour and the lighting and production was basically the same as the Pulse concert at Earls Court. It was a fantastic concert!
