David Gilmour – Dress Rehearsal shows in Brighton

On Friday evening, and yesterday afternoon, David Gilmour and his new touring band performed a brace of shows at the Brighton Centre, on the south coast of England. It obviously bodes well when David Gilmour hires the Brighton Centre for production rehearsals. Concluding their time at the south coast of England venue, following the initial rehearsals at the King Alfred complex in Hove (just along the seafront road), a repeat of 2015’s preview show saw a pair of what was called “Dress Rehearsals” to further finesse the production. The first was a standard evening show, the second, a matinee so that everything could be broken down and packed ready to ship to Rome, Italy, for the first string of proper shows. We are now starting to receive pictures, comments and suchlike for the pair of shows, and are adding them to both of the show pages (Friday, September 20th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-20th-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html) and Saturday, September 21st (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-21st-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html)) to join the short post-gig video that’s been put together by David’s team to give the tiniest of tasters of the show. If you went to either, we really welcome and appreciate any contributions you would like to offer – just email through the normal address of Matt@Brain-Damage.co.uk (mailto:matt@brain-damage.co.uk?subject=BD%20contribution) please. We’ve purposefully picked a very simple picture for this story, so as not to spoil anything for those who don’t want to hear anything about the show. The show pages also hide the set lists so people don’t see anything they don’t want to. Pictures and reviews are below the hidden set list section, so should be difficult to accidentally see things you might not want to see. Next stop for David and his team is Rome, Italy, for the six shows there, from this coming Friday, 27th September – and if you are going to any of these, we’d love to hear from you after the show!

David Gilmour announces two rehearsal concerts in Brighton

Following the release of David Gilmour’s Luck and Strange, his critically acclaimed first new album in nine years, this week, has been an announcement which reminds us of 2015. Today, Gilmour has announced two very special rehearsal performances at the Brighton Centre on the south coast of England, on September 20th (Evening) (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-20th-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html) and 21st (Matinee) (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-21st-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html). Each show will be limited to just 1500 people. Many of you will remember that in 2015, Gilmour performed what was called a “preview show” at the same venue, which had been used for production rehearsals, and the Brighton Centre obviously worked well as a facility to get the show into its final shape, hence these newly announced concerts. Tickets for the shows are £30, and to be in with a chance to get them, fans will need to have
purchased a copy of Luck and Strange from the official David Gilmour UK store (https://store-uk.davidgilmour.com) by 8am, Monday, September 16th. This will give the chance for first access to the available tickets. Those who have already ordered from the store will also be included. Visit that website to get full details of terms and conditions of the ticketing process. The shows will offer an exclusive preview of David’s forthcoming live performances in Rome, London, Los Angeles, and New York.

David joins Romany Gilmour at small local gig

Last night, in the city of Brighton and Hove, the Neptune Inn pub (in Hove) hosted a small gig for Romany Gilmour, David’s daughter, who contributes to his new album Luck and Strange. With rehearsals for the day finished, David presumably felt he had unfinished business and turned up unannounced to run through Wish You Were Here with his daughter! As Jerry Ewing of Louder Sound/Prog (https://www.loudersound.com/news/wish-you-were-here-david-gilmour-stuns-tiny-brighton-pub-with-live-rendition-of-pink-floyd-classic) reports, Romany had been performing at the pub’s regular Monday evening open mic night, running through Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will, Joanna Newsom’s This Side Of Blue, and her own Lily Of The Roses, when her father arrived with a guitar! A glimpse of the event can be seen here: Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany (https://twitter.com/GilmourRomany?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)’s gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals… pic.twitter.com/9FxlX2YMIu (https://t.co/9FxlX2YMIu)— David Gilmour (@davidgilmour) September 9, 2024 (https://twitter.com/davidgilmour/status/1833249956427104539?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
