David Gilmour
As a huge Gilmour fan it was another great opportunity to see him when I lived in Syracuse.

Back at MSG for Gilmour in fine form as he completed what might be his last US tour . The films in back of the stage having a certain similarity to those I’d seen at MSG before during the 1977 and 1987 Floyd shows there.
The tour was for Rattle that Lock, a fine new album that Gilmour wrote mostly using his wife’s lyrics. Phil Manzanera played a key role in both making the album and on the live tour. There are some interesting music videos and materials in the box set which include a small gathering where Gilmour explains how he recorded the very first sounds on the album on his iphone - an automated train door jingo from a train in France - which served as the inspiration for the first track.
