VP, I'm reading Ross Halfin's journal (rock photographer) and he wrote this about David Gilmour:
The audience is seated and remains that way in hushed reverence. David plays the whole of his new album and speaks very good French - he must have done it for A-level. In fact, the audience all look like A-level students. I start feeling paranoid, I only did CSE's and a few O-levels. Okay, I did get two A-levels.
The second half of the show is all Pink Floyd. David plays Shine On You Crazy Diamond - what more could a fan want. I shoot from my seat. The light show looks good but doesn't light Diamond Dave. Lots of shadows and stuff. He finishes with Comfortably Numb. His guitar sound is fantastic - perfect.
Backstage, David is very sociable. He says hello - I am quite thrown. There again, he does have manners and he's a fine man.
