In honor of David Gilmour's 74th birthday today, his greatest solo from "Live in Pompeii 2016"
70 years old here and still amazing. Yes, no Roger Waters, but Chuck Leavell does an excellent job. From what I've read, likely Gilmour's swan song. Turn up the volume on your surround sound!

I prefer Pink Floyd post Roger Waters. From an interview Gilmore's significant other wrote most the the lyrics from that period.

He is a great one.

I remember reading Saucerful of Secrets maybe 25 years ago. There is a quote(could have been their manager) who said something to the effect of "Roger wrote everything, but David made it so you could actually listen to it"
I have been very happy with the Post-Waters Pink Floyd as well.

I met my wife because of David Gilmour.....sort of.
I had been in a new town for a couple of years and it occurred to me that I hadn't been to the dentist during that time. I didn't know any of the dentists in my town and just got out the yellow pages. Scrolling down the list of dentists, I found one named David Gilmore. I thought, "that's as good a reason as any", and I made my appointment. My wife to be worked there. We were married less that 2 years later. She is also a big Pink Floyd fan.

Ditto! I am so glad I got to see them on their 1994 tour.

I have this on Blue Ray, and it sounds incredible.
David is a consummate gentleman.

I bet I've heard Comfortably Numb over 5,000 times in my lifetime. It's one of the few songs I never tire of.

^^^Same here. "The Wall" came out my junior year of high school and "Comfortably Numb" is probably my all time favorite song.
I like watching the drummer, Steve DiStanislao, who is a year younger than I, drumming to the song. The smile on his face says "Man, I'm drumming for David Gilmour playing Comfortably Numb in Pompeii!"
