I was really hoping for "There's No Way Out of Here" and some cuts from About Face but I guess he has moved past that.

I think in a similar interview to saying his daughter wouldn't be present at every show, the interviewer also asked him if he planned to play anything from his first two solo albums (David Gilmour and About Face) and he said no. Yeah, I guess he just doesn't care for them? Made it sound like His 3 most recent solo albums from the last 20 years are the only ones in play on that front.

He also said in the same interview that Floyd material spanned 1969-1994, and he didn't play anything earlier than Fat Old Sun here. So maybe he was mistaken, but I think thats why people are hanging on Astronomy Domine being an option. In that same interview he specifically calls out Shine On, though admittedly its not the clearest if he meant its in the set or just that he likes that song.

Tempted to not look at setlists now until my show in a month. Wanted to know what the rehearsal was, and now that I see its about what I expected, I'd be fine to be surprised to tears if he plays Shine On or any other classic Floyd at my show.

Please share a link to that interview - or at least cite the source.

It'd be a weird thing to make up lol.

The reason I didn't post it is its this Washington Post article that's paywalled, so if you have that thats great and you can read it, but I assume most (like me) don't:

[www.washingtonpost.com]

Here's a Reddit post that mentions it says that in the article though:

[www.reddit.com]

"Gilmour confirmed in an interview with the Washington Post that he will not play any songs from the first two solo albums, and that he has sort of back tracked on not playing Pink Floyd material.

He also said he’ll be playing material as early as 1969 and some as late as 1994. This 1969 is particularly interesting because it would seemingly throw out Astronomy Domine and include something from Ummagumma or More, but it’s possible he just got the dates wrong."

I believe its that same article he says his daughter won't join the whole tour, but if thats not there its in a different interview.

As for Astronomy Domine, there was a screenshot from the keyboard player and you can see that song listed in the corner, which is why people think its at least in contention:

[imgur.com]

And here's the article where he mentions Shine On as a possibility:

[www.mojo4music.com]

“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing,” Gilmour says. “I love Run Like Hell [from 1982’s The Wall]. I loved the music I created for it, but all that (sings) ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”

“Another Brick In The Wall is another one I shan’t be doing,” states the guitarist. “I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgement. The same with Money. I won’t be doing that. I’m going to be sticking with the ones that are essentially my music, and I feel some ownership of. Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, maybe…”

Thanks. Wasn't suggesting the info was made up. And posting link and/or source, rather than "I read somewhere", removes any doubt. ; )

Pink Floyd grab Sony cash with both hands

The $400 million deal is understood to include the band’s recorded music as well as their name and the artists’ “likeness”

Pink Floyd may have once complained “Money, it’s a crime”, but that hasn’t stopped the British rock band from ­netting $400 million in a deal to sell their music catalogue to Sony.

The archive has become one of the most coveted in the world after earlier efforts to auction it broke down. A deal was finally agreed this week, the final chapter in a years-long disagreement over the band’s catalogue.

A 2022 attempt to sell the catalogue broke down amid personal disagreements between surviving members of the famously fractious group.

The auction attracted interest from music companies and investors, including Warner Music and BMG, the rival record labels, and Hipgnosis, the music rights group, but was said to have been derailed by a feud between Roger Waters, 81, the bass player, and David Gilmour, 78, the guitarist.

The deal is understood to include Pink Floyd’s recorded music as well as the band name and the artists’ “likeness”, according to the Financial Times. It includes 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon, which remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for more than 900 weeks and is one of the best-selling ­albums of all time.

The value of music catalogues has risen sharply over the past decade thanks to the growth of paid streaming services and low interest rates.

Pink Floyd are one of the best-selling British bands whose most famous songs include Money and The Great Gig in the Sky. Their 1979 concept album The Wall sold more than 30 million copies and topped the US charts for 15 weeks. Their archive was one of the few large music catalogues still available to buy.

Sony previously agreed deals to buy the archives for Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. It has been one of the more acquisitive record labels in securing the rights to classic rock artists, whose music generates income via streaming platforms such as Spotify and can be sold for use in film and TV soundtracks and adverts.

Earlier this year the company bought a 50 per cent stake in Michael Jackson’s catalogue for at least $600 million.

Sony is also reported to have ­acquired the back catalogue of Queen at a rumoured £1 billion, the largest deal of its kind. Apollo, the private equity group, invested $700 million to assist Sony with funding further music acquisitions in July.

It is not the only company spending significant sums of money on deals to acquire music catalogues. Hipgnosis Songs Fund spent more than $2 billion on song assets by Neil Young, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and others. However, the business has struggled to recoup its investments and was acquired by the US group Blackstone this year.

I sure hope we don't start hearing Money on bank commercials.

I did not see where it includes the song rights so maybe not.

From the Financial Times article cited by The Times:

Songs have two sets of copyrights — one for the songwriting and one for the recording, or master copy. Pink Floyd has agreed to sell their recorded rights, but not the songwriting, said people familiar with the matter.

Just got back from the final round of David Gilmour’s 6-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall.

Beautiful.

His voice sounds pretty iffy sometimes, but at least he's keeping it real, unlike his former bandmate.

I went to the Monday show and I have no complaints about his voice or anything else.

So do I.

Those who were present at Monday and Tuesday nights (i.e. the last two shows) were treated with one more song, A Single Spark from the new album.
