David Gilmour - 3 nights RAH

[moonchild]

Sorry I'm late in posting this, I've been so busy moving into a new house..

Anyway, I went over to the UK for all 3 nights of Dave's shows at the RAH and they were all excellent. I can't tell you how marvelous they were, much better than the US shows..David Bowie showed up the first night to sing Arnold Layne and Roger's part of Comfortably Numb. And Dave's backup singers are Crosby and Nash all 3 nights. Robert Wyatt came out in a wheelchair all 3 nights to play horn, Mica Paris come out night 2 & 3 to sing "Great Gig"... and Nick Mason finally made an appearance for the encore of night 3. So I guess for a couple of songs, the official PF was actually on stage. On night 2, Dave's little daughter screamed out from the audience... "Hurry up, Daddy" just before Rick hit the cue for Echoes.

All in all, it was a great way to spend 3 evenings... and I'm so glad I was there. The CN solos on night 2.... were just tear jerking.... can't wait for the video. Here's some photos:

Uhh... actually I'm female :-0 but thanks anyway.

Yes, we have tickets to a couple of the Roger Waters shows in the NYC area also. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Dave K. play with him, because he's a sweetheart.

Oops sorry - really lucky girl you are!!! :D and the guy in your avatar too!

If that's Dave Kilminster you are talking about then I saw him with Keith Emerson and you're right - at least, er, he's an excellent guitarist. (Not sure about the sweetheart tag).

Oh and your photos are just fantastic.

They are both lucky... That's Greg Lake!
Yes and thank you for posting all of these photos. I think I've seen all that you put up today.
Palmer & Emo's too :D

Lucky girl, indeed!!!

Thanks everyone about the pictures. I've taken so many lately, since most my favs have actually been out on tour...(seperately unfortunately)... that my computer is starting to chug, chug from the overload....

Anyway.... yes I was referring to Dave Kilminster, who had been playing with Keith Emerson until Mr. Waters stole him away for this tour. Hopefully he will be going back to Keith once it is over... because I understand he's written enough music with Keith to record an album.... and I'd like to see that done!!
