Gilmour didn’t originally intend the album to be a record of a single show. I want to give them a bit of what they expect and will enjoy.” “But people have come long distances and paid a lot of money to see a show. “I don’t like the idea of going out without a new album, without some new music to play,” he said. Gilmour says he’s happy these days to play the old Floyd songs. There are several that haven’t been played for 30-odd years. “It’s wonderful to have that huge catalog of songs to pick and choose through. The discs include a fan-friendly mix of solo material, much of it from the “On An Island” album, and venerable Floyd songs: “High Hopes,” “Comfortably Numb,” “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and the 25-minute “Echoes,” which Gilmour said was “the highlight of the show.” And there’s a 40-piece string section from the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony to enhance Gilmour’s blend of classic rock, jazz and blues influences. There’s a crackerjack band that includes Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright and Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. There’s the concert’s monumental backdrop of the Polish shipyards where the trade union Solidarity was founded in 1980. Recorded during the final date of Gilmour’s 2006 “On An Island” tour, it’s as meaty a package as you’d expect from a prog-rock colossus.

Gilmour’s latest project is a solo album and tour, captured on “David Gilmour Live in Gdansk,” a double concert album and DVD to be released Sept. “It isn’t to do with animosity or anything like that. “There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people’s lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won’t be a tour or an album again that I take part in,” said Gilmour. He has a famously testy relationship with bassist and singer Waters, who walked away from Pink Floyd in 1985. The rehearsals convinced me it wasn’t something I wanted to be doing a lot of,” Gilmour said, speaking from the Astoria, his houseboat-cum-recording studio on the River Thames.

The gig itself was “excellent, really enjoyable,” said the 62-year-old guitarist and singer. It was the first time in almost a quarter of a century that Gilmour and estranged bandmate Roger Waters had appeared onstage together, and the atmosphere was electric. The British rock icon raised fans’ hopes when the band performed at the Live 8 charity concert in London in 2005. LONDON - David Gilmour is sorry to disappoint, but there will be no Pink Floyd reunion. But, if you go see him live, he will break out a Floyd tune. ‘I’ve been there, I’ve done it,’ says the rockerįormer British Pink Floyd band member David Gilmour has no plays to reunited the band.
