Well, to use film terminology, that’s a wrap – for now, anyway! David Gilmour’s fourteen nights in three European cities – Brighton, Rome and London – have just come to a triumphant conclusion, with audiences truly thrilled by the sonic and visual feast served up by David and his band. The show has matured well over the month since the first Brighton shows, which were a great tour opener for the lucky 1,500 at each of the two performances there, with the subsequent Rome open air concerts being truly special, and then the Royal Albert Hall gigs in London which will live long in everyone’s memories. Next for David and the gang is an appearance on the BBC TV series, Later…With Jools Holland (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00248kd). We hear possibly that David will be on this week’s show, although looking on the BBC website at the episode guide (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00248kd), it doesn’t include his name amongst the guests performing. From pictures that Polly Samson and others have shared on their social media, they have already filmed their song selection, it seems at Alexandra Palace in London. Then, the US dates start, with three locations selected, taking in the West and East coasts – the newly opened and quite high tech Intuit Dome in LA on October 25th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/october-25th-intuit-dome-inglewood-los-angeles-c.html), the legendary Hollywood Bowl on October 29th – 31st (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/october-29th-hollywood-bowl-hollywood-los-angeles-c.html), and concluding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on November 4th – 6th and 9th – 10th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/november-4th-madison-square-garden-new-york-city-n.html). Should all be superb shows, and limited tickets are still available if you are quick. We’ve been so grateful for all the reviews, comments and pictures submitted for the shows that have taken place, and are working through the final ones to get them on the site too. Thanks to Kevan Porter for this picture from last night’s show – his review and many more great shots are on the relevant show page in the David Gilmour 2024 section (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/index.php). People love reading others’ thoughts on the shows, whether or not they were fortunate enough to have attended themselves, and seeing pictures taken from all different aspects of the venues. If you haven’t yet submitted something and still want to – or are going to any of the US shows and want to share with the Floyd community – do please get in touch at the normal email address of Matt@Brain-Damage.co.uk. Thank you, everyone!
