      He didn't feel the need to sacrifice the familiar, beloved solo in order to make himself look good or anything, and that's commendable- he could easily have played totally different stuff but up to where the song would normally fade out, he did it note for note then added extra to the coda; I applaud him for his restraint and faithfulness

      @@lumpy9964 I guess I was a bit too harsh with "that solo sucked big time"... I just don't like it that much. But it's definitely not as good as Gilmour on the Pulse live show. "He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that.." If that is true than this just shows that something is fundamentally wrong with this guitar player. 1. It's about the music, not about the musician's ego, 2. the arc of suspense and phrasing in the said live version from Pink Floyd is insane, if there would be no excitement in it for him than he wouldn't understand a whole lot about music. But seriously I doubt that. I bet that he knows he can't play it quite as good as Gilmore and the shred was definitely just a fan service for all you nerds. I am absolutely not against "technical" playing, but if someone does it just for the sake of it then it sounds absolutely cringe to me.

They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr.

    I feared there would be a lot of lost feeling when they hit the ending solo, the effects, the tapping, etc ... but I got to say I was pleasantly surprised. He stayed true to the writing of Gilmour right through until the extended play and really did a masterful job of seamlessly transitioning into his own style and making the remainder of the song his own. Great job with the effects too in keeping it all nice and clean. I think Gilmour would give a wink, nod, and a smile to this performance.
