Seeing Gilmour for the first time tomorrow night at Hollywood Bowl.

cant freaking wait. 

I saw him at the Intuit Dome Friday. Brand new Clippers stadium.  I had Oct 30th Hollywood Bowl tickets but ended up having to be in LA last week for work. Pretty incredible. and while I would have killed for the 2016 setlist, he was still the guitar god you expect him to be. Light show was great.  I won't ruin the setlist for ya but I will at least say Fat Old Sun was the highlight for me.

So yeah, turns out Dave can still play some guitar. 

along with the obvious favs of wish you were here, comfortably numb, time, breathe in the air, I most enjoyed the live renditions of sorrow and high hopes a lot.

hard to imagine a better venue for this show than the Hollywood Bowl other than maybe @Nuge’s backyard.

yeah i was at the show on the 29th. the acoustic addition at the end of high hopes was awesome. sorrow was also incredible. loved when he busted out the lap steel for great gig. knew going in that fat old sun would be the highlight and it definitely was. the crowd in my section was really good and quiet. man, he had some terrible merch.

lol, @4th&Five and I both were sitting there looking at the booths desperately trying to find something we could justify to ourselves was worth grabbing just for historical significance and we just couldn't do it. it was so, so bad.

and the fucking line of goobers to overpay for all the stupid shit was a mile long. cracked me up.

he did a surprising amount of lap steel imo but i suspect that is by design at this point given his age. give him a chance to sit down for a while.

crowd in my section was quiet and kept the phone bullshit to a reasonably tolerable level for the most part but there was one drunk dumbfuck that would not stfu until some guy went wilding on him. most of my section was asleep for the second set which was really great for me.

i settled on this one just because it's so incredibly weird...and it has the hollywood bowl dates on the back. the rest of them looked like they were designed in a junior high photoshop class.

Nice!

 

Out as a special, pre-Christmas surprise today is David Gilmour's The Piper's Call Live Around The World, recorded at The Brighton Centre, Rome's Circus Maximus, London's Royal Albert Hall, LA's Intuit Dome and NYC's Madison Square Garden. So, elements taken from each city that was lucky enough to get dates on David's 2024 tour.  The song was edited together by Charlie Andrew and Matt Glasbey to form one seamless track recorded throughout the Luck and Strange tour.

I know, love Nick, but 5 plus minutes of just watching drumming is a bit too much

Yeah but he loses a drumstick and effortlessly replaces it while still drumming, which will be awesome to see on an IMAX screen.

i asked @Goredho to help me learn to play the electric part of the "scattered" solo that starts at 4:38 below because it seems achievable based on tempo and key. when i first started playing it and was just hunting down the notes, goredho was like "yeah that's not even close to right because he's not playing those notes on the fretboard, he's bending those two semitone jumps. for example, the beginning phrase of b-d-e, i was playing on the e string instead of the b string and bending the d. of course goredho was right but watching this video finally, it, was so much more than even i realized. my left hand fingers are going to be three times stronger by the time i get this right.

Glimour bends are hard as shit. That's why I use them for bending practice all the time. It's not just the fact he does big bends, it's his articulation of them and his uncanny ear for microtuning. Most of his most expressive stuff is just off the note, usually a tick flat, but absolutely perfect for the particular circumstance.

Yeah, Gilmour is primarily blues phrasing, but his magic is in his sense of the melodic and how he manipulates notes with his fingers (articulations as @G650 said).  He does lots of little things with subtle hammer ons, pull offs, slides, bends, descending bends, multi-step bends, string raking, subtle use of the vibrato.  It's not just like playing a note on the piano, very few of the individual notes he plays are just the note where he might have a finger on the fretboard.  He's almost always doing something to "modify the note".

it has given me a new understanding and appreciation for the gilmour "crying" solos. also, i have become a master of bending the 15th fret of the b string to a D# plus 10 cents trying to achieve an E. 🙄

i'm gonna have to get 9's on my strat.

And then once you can kinda, sorta get close to what he's playing (which is all anyone not named David Gilmour can do), then you have the pursuit of his tone.  A great resource for that:  https://www.gilmourish.com

it think fewer than 50% of these notes in this solo (starting at 3:55) are actually the note on the fretboard.

side note: whoever is sleeping with romany must really want to bang dave. good lord...she looks like someone just put a wig on him in 1975.

Funny enough, I actually have 9s on one of my Strats right now as  I was working on trying to kill an overtone on E notes that has been annoying me. I end up overbending a lot.
