Title: David Gilmour
Post by: cvstahl on March 29, 2020, 07:09:58 PM
I know there a few PK/DG fans on this forum.....so I thought I’d ask this question here.

I’m looking for a DG release that’s David Gilmour - The CBS Promo’s
I’ve seen some mention of the set and below are some links talking about it. It’s available as a video with PCM stereo as well as lossless audio

The one link is for a site to grab the audio.....but the links are dead.

So, if anyone can point me in the right direction....I’d appreciate it 👍🏻


Here are the links:

Yup....that’s it. I saw that and confirmed that a DVD exists with PCM audio, so lossless audio should be available, which at minimum on a bootleg label it is. Also, it looks like a rare official release of the audio is/was available.

So, I’m try to get the lossless audio.....but if the DVD with PCM audio is the only thing around, I can rip that audio just as easily.

So if anybody knows where I can grab it.....I’d appreciate it

Thx again!

He is 78. This will be the last one. He does not tour that much. Last tour was 8 years ago and before that almost 10 years. I expect some UK dates (RAH) and probably USA this year. Next year Europe UK and perhaps a few more in the States....

Could be his last tour, but he said in the Uncut interview that he will record a new album right after he finishes the tour.

We may get some rarities on tour, looks like he wants to give less focus to the 1970's tracks, maybe he has been looking at Nick Mason and thought he would like to revisit some earlier stuff, maybe some stuff from More, that would be nice, maybe some songs from his 1st and 2nd solo albums.

We were 3 of us, each one trying to get any ticket in the RAH, we could get UK presales code, but none of us could get a single ticket in the end, neither in the presales nor in the general sales. The platform just couldn't handle such a load...

I'll take anything, really. Any ticket, any day, any price (except the shameful 4000€ speculative prices from Viagogo).

Does anybody has spare tickets to resale? I'm desperate.

That ticket price is a resale for sure or a VIP package, at the presale the higher was between 200-300 pounds for arena and stalls tickets.

Seems that is the usual nowadays, unfortunately.

I've been listening to this album most of the weekend and I really like it a lot.
 
If I had to choose my favourite song it would be "Scattered". I especially like the piano, played by Rob Gentry halfway through the song, which David describes as "off the wall" in the above video. ;D   It reminds me very much of the first few minutes of the 2nd Movement of Rachmaninov's PC #3  which sounds a bit like a cat running over the keyboard, but in a nice way, of course! :)
Title: Re: David Gilmour
Post by: Rolo on September 08, 2024, 07:50:41 PM
Hmmm, i don't know if i liked this new Gilmour album.
For me, it has too many skippers.
And have that BG vibe that i don't like.

For me, the definitive DG album is On An Island.
THAT, my friends, is an album with capital A.
To me, Rattle That Lock has the same "formula" from his antecessor. In my opinion, a very weak album.

Most of my heroes, again, in my opinion, haven't been releasing albums that captives me.

Maybe I started to be more grumpy that I usualy am.

Post by: hunter v2.0 on September 08, 2024, 09:34:02 PM
Had a first listen now through the whole album. I really like it. Classic Gilmour, but with a slightly different, fresher sound. No particular favorites at the moment, but his guitar playing is spectacular. So is his guitar tone. My oh my. The album is so punchy. Mark's ODR is so wimpy-sounding in comparison. The long jam at the end, though, felt unnecessary. Total filler which doesn't add anything, but rather distracts.
Title: Re: David Gilmour
Post by: Rolo on September 09, 2024, 01:04:17 PM
Good point about 'Luck and Strange' is that the guitars were recorded at Astoria.
I like Polly's lyrics. However, i tend to listen almost the same melodys intentions on every song.
When the dynamics went down, to me, is the 'same song'.
It was an artistc decision? I dunno.
Works for me? No.

DG's team seems to worked VERY HARD to make those 'flat sounding' drums, bass and some vocals recorded at British Grove.

Well, the album is not bad. It's just the opposite.
However, like MK's albums, they can be differents each other.
However, sound as the same.

I really like this album, I have only heard it once so far, but, there are some good songs, the opening instrumental has lovely piano. A highlight for me is the voice of Romany Gilmour. It may well be one of his best solo albums, it would have been interesting to hear how different it would have sounded had Guy produced it. I didn't hear any songs I didn't like.

So in rehearsels you sing bad or out of tune??
dude, is he playing to an audience? or is he trying to set up the setlist, the arrangements, the lights etc..? this is only a guidance vocal. how many times have you heard Gilmour sing badly at an actual show, pls do tell. (contrary to that megalomaniac bass player)

Never sounded bad indeed. Given that his last tour was 8 years ago...  But okay no problem..... i just thought his voice was not in the best shape.... That's all......

I tried and failed, Ticketmaster system was quite tricky as every time I picked a ticket it suddenly disappeared without giving me time to get it and when I realised, all were gone... Strange.

Bad luck... and strange

I had exactly the same problem, you could select seats then go to checkout and they were unavailable. Crap system as you then had to remove them from the basket to choose different seats. Never known a system like it.

listening to the friday night rec. currently and can only confirm
one question though, why was the audience SOOOOO far away from the actual stage?
Title: Re: David Gilmour
Post by: marki on September 23, 2024, 12:55:50 PM
Hi,

They removed 3 stalls areas (front and 2 sides). The reason is that they had LOTS of monitors, mixers, cameras and equipment between the stage and the audience. They were quite massive - also 4+ rows for the available stall area were blocked.

Beside the fact that there was no running to the stage on encore, there wasn't any real difference

so glad to hear that. i find that both MK and DG are so "compatible" in their playing, that it makes TOTAL sense being an absolute fan of both.

Ticket prices are ridiculous these days. In a way I'm pleased that MK stopped touring, would have really annoyed me if he would have gone down the dynamic pricing route.

Title: Re: David Gilmour
Post by: herlock on October 22, 2024, 03:08:43 PM
I'm quite sure that Mark loves the Wish you were album, his own LOG album is quite similar in structure: one epic prog piece (TR/Shine On), One melancholic balad (the title tracks), and bitter songs about the industry / life in general (WTTM / ID, Have a cigar / It never rains).

I also imagine Mark liking the classic DSOTM. Guy has expressed love for the album.

I don't imagine Mark being that a fan of Animals of the Wall, this is a bit politcally too far-off for him, but I'm quite sure he loves Comfortably Numb, with the best guitar solo of all times !

I can also imagine David, and also Roger (as an anti-capitalist and anti-war guy), admiring the songwriting of TR and BIA.

Mark and David are different in style, but they have a lot in common: same generation, same consensual opinions and discrete approach, each of them having a very distinctive and unique guitar sound, and focused on quality recording.

Both of them have openly expressed huge respect for each other. A duet would be fantastic !

I can't really imagine him doing nothing at all musically for a whole year because it's not in his nature.

To find David Gilmour's *The CBS Promos* (1978) release, you might need to explore dedicated collector forums or Pink Floyd fan communities, as this promo is rare and typically circulated among enthusiasts. The links you've shared point to sites that might have had the content in the past, but if those links are dead, here are a few suggestions:

1. **Discogs**: Keep checking listings on Discogs for updates, as this platform often has new listings from sellers specializing in rare music memorabilia.
   
2. **Guitars101**: Occasionally, collectors on Guitars101 reshare links or provide new ones in the comments. Checking back periodically or posting your own inquiry could help.

3. **Fan Forums**: Pink Floyd-centric communities or music trading groups often have members who archive rare material and might be able to provide direction on where to locate the promos.

In the meantime, consider joining a Pink Floyd fan group or collector’s network where this type of material is traded among dedicated fans.   :)  (https://poradniczek.eu/)
