After the announcement of the release of his first solo album in nine years Luck and Strange<\/em>, David Gilmour<\/strong> revealed that he would be doing a mere FOUR shows in North America.\u00a0 If you\u2019re excited to see these performances, do so but don\u2019t go expecting a huge selection of the Pink Floyd classics.\u00a0 Gilmour refers to \u201c\u201can unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the \u20187os\u201d, which one suspects is down to his reluctance to sing lyrics written by Roger Waters. And the other decades? \u201cYeah, they might be better represented. I mean, at least one from the 60s. The one we\u2019ve done in the past is \u2018Astronomy [The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, 1967]. That\u2019s always entertaining and fun and gets people off to a happy start. There\u2019s songs from the Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell albums. I mean, I think \u2018High Hopes\u2019 is as good as anything we ever did at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gilmour has also tweaked the lineup of his band this time around and seems to be excited about the outcome.\u00a0 \u201c\u201cYeah, I changed the band around last time for a number of reasons, one of which was it was all too robotic, and some people would have been better off in a Pink Floyd tribute band. So I thought we\u2019d get people who are genuinely creative and give them a little more space. That\u2019s the plan. So we*re going to have some of the younger guys alongside Guy and the Webb Sisters, who sang with Leonard Cohen on his last tours.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all honesty, even if there were no Pink Floyd songs played, I would still be excited to see this show.\u00a0 I never had the chance to see Pink Floyd and the opportunity to see the legendary David Gilmour perform is something that is definitely an item on my bucket list.\u00a0 At 78 years old, this very well could be the last time we get to see Gilmour live.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to live with regrets about not seeing him over the idea that he won\u2019t play certain Pink Floyd songs.\u00a0 I\u2019m so looking forward to these shows.<\/p>\n
