We saw three nights of David Gilmour's shows at the RAH in London and they were all excellent. I couldn't describe them any better than Easy Livin did with the Glasgow show, but David Bowie showed up the first night to sing Arnold Layne and Roger's part of Comfortably Numb. And Dave's backup singers are Crosby and Nash all 3 nights. Robert Wyatt came out in a wheelchair all 3 nights to play horn, Mica Paris come out night 2 & 3 to sing "Great Gig"... and Nick Mason finally made an appearance for the encore of night 3. So I guess for a couple of songs, the official PF was actually on stage. On night 2, Dave's little daughter screamed out from the audience... "Hurry up, Daddy" just before Rick hit the cue for Echoes.
All in all, it was a great way to spend 3 evenings... and I'm so glad I was there. The CN solos on night 2.... were just tear jerking.... can't wait for the video. Here's so photos:

Wow, I must say, you were very lucky to witness all 3 nights.  ------------- [IMG]http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i165/amorfous/astro-1.jpg"> |
