This is probably the best interview you will ever hear with Gilmour. No boring Floyd questions or focus. David is completely relaxed. He has obviously know Guy for 30+ yrs. I think this is why the interview is so special
The new album is the best thing he's been involved in since The Wall. It's that good.
Have to disagree with that last line of your comment sorry. There's many albums better than this since the wall that he's been involved in. Even some of his previous solo albums like On an Island I feel is much stronger than this. All opinions though. I'm just glad he's still releasing his music. There are a couple of great tracks on this latest album though.
@stevenclark1973 Most the album sounds like AI trying to do post-Waters Pink Floyd. One track with Romany singing is very nice. I don't think any of that is Gilmour's fault though. Great guitarists need a great band and great writers around them, and for all the fluff in this interview... he doesn't have that.
@dansmithwave I initially shared similar views to you; however, after a few listens, I think this really is a very good album.
Personally I think the division bell is still better.
@@rulingmoss5599absolutely love Division Bell. One of the albums I listen to the most.
Gary and Guy treat David Gilmour with the respect he deserves
Finally a Gilmour interview with some original questions. I’ve listened to countless of them, and they are all more or less the same so this is wonderful
David Gilmour is a sound-out man, in my opinion. I worked for him as an employee of a Herefordshire based Company, at his grounds, planting a wooldland from scratch some years ago. David was naturally pleasantly engaging with us all, until the day when he gave-out because T was found wandering, unattended, down the drive-way, toward the main road. David naturally assumed that the, 'Keep This Gate Closed', sign on the gate had been ignored and that the gate had been left off it's latch. No-one knew who'd made the error, but we were all gutted. On the following day, David called us all together to offer his sincere apologies. On surveying recorded security camera footage, it transpired that T had climbed the gate on his own: remarkable in itself, considering T's age at that time. That gesture, for us, demonstrated that David was sound-out. I hope that your woodland is doing well David. God bless you and yours👍
you mean stand out? whos t?
@@johnsmith-zf1fd No, I meant 'Sound-Out''. I'm 1950's Cornish born, from a Mum who hailed from Eire. If some one "tells you off", in Eire, they are said to have 'Given - Out' to you. If a person is a good person, they are 'sound-out'. T is the initial of David's son, as far as I can remember, but if it's not, it matters not, because I'd never divulge the Christian names of David's family to anyone anyway. "Old Skool", see. "DFO". In Cornish colloquialism, David would be classed as, 'Righton'. And if we really 'give-out' we might tell a person to, " Re'th kyjyewgh hwi"😊😉.
@@KernowekTim Aren't Gilmour's family all in the public domain?
What is the meaning of "sound-out", and "gave-out"?
Never heard that.
I like these different terms... and the explanations...gives me a feeling that i am learning something new... which i constantly am 🤔
This is one of the warmest interviews that David has given…
Kemp and Pratt especially are members of the extended PF family so he was definitely more open. And you can tell by the smiles that they love their uncle David.
Fitting being he's another Global Warmist.... handing his money over to the un/wef ...the very Faction suppressing Humanity > as Earth continues cycling through a Maunder Solar Minimum
Yeah it's so good because they're all so close not just random interviewers.
So glad Gary Kemp asked about David's beautiful singing and his voice maturing/changing over the years. A rarely mentioned thing, bizzarely.
I know - DG didn’t agree though, did he! Makes you wonder if all the stuff about ageing is slightly fake - that David himself doesn’t actually believe it.
@@GrahamSouthorn Well I just watched the recent video of his band rehearsing the set list and they perfomed a couple of Pink Floyd songs. He sang them well, but anyone with good ears can tell this is now a nearly 80yr old Gilmour voice, which is somewhat croakier, less flexible than it was since he last sang those songs 8 years ago. He opted for some lower notes. Still sounds good though, in my opinion.
@@andydixon2980 He'd mentioned how his voice would go rougher for live shows on the BTS special for his "About Face" live tape. Now it seems like that's David's regular singing voice now. But in his defense, like you said, he is 78 years old, and he still sounds as good as ever. I'd always liked his voice better than Roger's, and that's not slagging Roger. They've both done vocal performances I've liked, but I've liked a lot more of David's than Roger's.
I love how Gary asks the pertinent question of how Guy survived as a member in David's band, and David just goes "well, he's just jolly".
I would like to thank Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp for providing us this wonderful Gilmour interview right before the Rome concerts. He is not too keen on giving these, but hey.. These are the members of Saucerful of secrets ffs!
PS: I was at the Rome concert in July. Blew me away. Thank you, guys.
It's like he has no idea how amazing he is, or what all the fuss is about. A truly humble man.
The man IS rock & roll. There would be no rock & roll without Gilmour.
@@jesuschrist36977 That is a huge statement to make. Whilst his contribution is not in question, there are countless artists whose back catalogue create the foundations and evolution of where we are musically as a society, Chuck Berry and Hendrix have just as much historical influence.
You think of Wish You Were Here live with the lasers everywhere in that incredible ancient Amphitheater. It looks like a space ship 🚀 🚢 taking off. His guitar is just so powerful and immersive, expanding in all directions to infinity! ♾️
Thousands of people roaring with ecstasy. 🎉
And then there's just this elderly English chap discussing music. 🎶
Life is something else.
Or just itself. 🕉
@@Audit-The-Auditorsoh shut up
Wonderful interview, just having a good chat, telling it like it really is. Gary's questions were excellent, backed up with good observation.
Polly, Romy, and David Gilmour, your lyrics, sound, and resonance reigns supreme with Luck & Strange. My strong connection to Pink Floyd became magnified with my first CD given to me in 1992 by my daddy, Dark Side of the Moon. My parents divorced in 1987, chaos ensued. I went to my first concert with my mom (getting the tickets were the greatest challenge, first show, second sale, at The Pontiac Silverdome, Detroit/Pontiac, Michigan). Pulse came out. I would listen with 15 / 16 year old tears glistening down my cheeks. December 19th, 1995 I would be involved in a fatal car accident (yes, "fatal" is me). As my brain pressure rose to death vitality, the only sound, sight, feeling I was able to take in was hearing the CD Pulse played on repeat.
I'm alive. All diagnosis have been proven wrong. I thank God for the serenity, abilities, and the unbelievable blessings to have an amazing able bodied life that David Gilmour's gifts have graced me with.
@kristenkaymichels9810
I read your comment with a sense of understanding as I to was involved in a horrific assault in 1995 only a few months after watching Pink Floyd in London at Earls Court on the Division Bell tour, I was beaten up really very badly, a fractured Skull, Dislocated jaw and Fractured Eye Socket, Broken Nose some Ribs I was unconscious for several weeks and when I came to I was woken to the sound of Division Bell Album playing on a Loop which my little brother had set up for my subconscious listening, now here's the twist right, only 3 years later I was involved in a Horrific RTA whilst on my way to work at Manchester Airport, I was being driven by a Colleague and the Car spun off the Road and Collided with a rather large Tree, and then 3 Months Later I awoke to the sound of Pink Floyd, again rather coincidentally the same Album, unfortunately I was not able to speak or communicate due to my lungs collapsing and having a Tracheotomy and being extremely confused, I had broken my Back and legs and my Arm was rebuilt with Plates/Rods I was completely unaware of what had happened, remember nothing about it at all. I was in recovery for about 10 years, now I have reached my plateau and am walking, Talking, Breathing and am married with Four Children, I am grateful to be given another chance, even though I am not the Man I was I am someone who doesn't really talk much or socialize much, I just like being at one with my own company and thoughts, again here's the twist, as I read your comment and also commented myself, all the while in the background, Pink Floyd playing away, The Album Meddle... and when I am awoken in the morning, Pink Floyd will rouse me to take on another day... all day I will be waiting for the delivery of Luck and Strange, by David Gilmour (Vinyl). Stay Safe my Friend and always remember this; we are both alive and both able to listen to the music that shapes our lives, we can enjoy our listening, some are not as lucky, they will never here again what we can here, again and again. 🙏
@@Talkingheads-yb6kv Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Your words hold great validity...
Romany has an absolutely beautiful voice, can't wait to hear more from her and David. am so happy seeing this. you have all been part of my life journey.
Great interview. So refreshing to hear a well-paced, intelligent conversation between three mature musicians. Gary does a great job of leading the inteview and providing the pace and space to allow Mr. Gilmour to "riff" with his responses, and Guy is equally awesome in sitting more quiet in the pocket (as he does with his playing) providing his unique perspectives with his long history with Mr. Gilmour. Good stuff. Thanks guys!
WE NEEED ANOTHER ONE OF THESE!! START FROM THE BEGINNING OF DAVIDS LIFE & GO FORWARD!! THE FANS NEED IT!
This is is wonderful. We have all loved this human being called David Gilmore our entire lives.
Pink Floyd the iconic atmospheric psychedelic space rock gods.
His intimate solo recordings.
Now just hanging out with the man and his lads.
Priceless. 🕉
congratulations on a fantastic sounding album David Gilmour!
And thanks for the songs, and the wonderful human, emotional guitar-playing.
It must be an amazing feeling for Guy to keep being invited by David to play together live and on record.
He's also married to Richard Wright's daughter
@@tykers. Was married.
Fantastic interview, 3 guys just having a chat. I have loved David Gilmour's guitar playing and his singing for 51years joyfully. I was just 6yrs old. I don't miss that band he used to be with. What drew me to Pink Floyd was David Gilmour and his guitar playing and singing. I wish someone would ask David " Does he miss any of the guitars he sold at auction ???" From what of Luck and Strange that I've heard here on RUclips I love the new music. 😊❤
What a fantastic album! another gift from a very talented man. Sir David Gilmour.
Thank You.
That "fantastic"album is getting some less than fantastic reviews........
@@markrigg6623 Oh the reviews are less than fantastic? that's it then.
I will stop listening to it.
God forbid I will disagree with the mighty reviewers of the internet.
@MrRockntube Yes it was a comment pointing out that music is subjective. Glad you like it.
The more I listen to this new album, the more I can “hear” it live. It feels like they can really be great jams. Like Gdansk having some of my most favorite floyd song versions, its the explosive potential of being together with an audience. I would love to catch a show.
Love that Gary Kemp is from Spandau Ballet and Guy Pratt is a Disco lover , I also love everything from the 60's through the middle of the 80's....the modern belle epoque of Music.
David love funk as well just listen to another brick in the wall or run like hell two perfect disco tracks
@@markussukram9290 Disco tracks ???!!!!🤣🤣🤣
@@eddysneyers4993 absolutely you are just showing your ignorance since they were created at the peak of disco and the riffs and grooves were VERY disco so much that both songs were at the top of the disco charts,you should learn music history before comments
He also played with Guy and Nick Mason for his band.
Yes and Nick Beggs form the amazing Kajagooggo played with Steve Hackett and lots of other greats. The 80's pop rock disco bands were formed by amazing Musicians and created amazing Music.
Great interview! This is David's best album and I look forward to the live shows!
What a joy to listen to David, who seems to be known for not wanting to speak too much, especially about himself!
The new album is lusciously recorded/produced, with some incredible sounds!
Wonderful! 🥰🥰🎸🎸🍷🍷
Fascinating to hear David talk about making records. The man who has been the biggest inspiration in sonics to so many. Definitely my biggest along with the people who also were a part like Alan Parsons, Rick Wright, etc
What a wonderful, refreshing interview; great questions and a lovely relaxed feel. I love how Gary becomes his teenage self when talking about DG's influence on his early years.
Love the new album David...Well done to everyone involved...😎😎😎👋👋
I love, looooove that we finally get to spend a little time seeing DG relaxing on the Astoria. There's no way I can afford the trip to LA or NY from Madison Wi, but I'd buy an online pass to tune in to the live performance streamed on RUclips if they'd sell it, and put it up on the big screen to celebrate election night with my favorite living musician.
A gift to sit in on this conversation, loving the easy, sensitive flow and enjoying so much the familiar sensation of David Gilmour’s grounded, somehow reticent yet deeply intuitive pathfinding. Why is it I invariably feel that there is so much more going on in him than he puts into words? Delightful to pick up the vibe that there could be so much more music coming from him, as things choose their way into being... Warmest wishes and thanks for this beautiful session, and yes, invariably that reverence, as long standing affection does just that. October 10th, RAH. Happy me.
Great interview, Mr. Gilmour seems to be doing quite well and it's great to see.
Love from Brazil! Beautiful album David, thank you so much to bring these high connections ✨🙏🏻
Glad you finally got him on. Good chat, fellas.
thank you for this .....the people who moved me so much with their music are getting so old 😌
I do think this album is special. Many new musical ideas meet classic barn jams. Plus the extraordinary interpretation of Between Two Points. One can hear that it was a family project where all members contributed with heart and soul. Thank you all!
DG lets the music do the talking
such a LEGEND of my generation
Thanks :-))
The album is incredible!
Gary Kemp is one of the most underrated musicians ever. His solo stuff is brilliant. He's like Andy Taylor. Both played in "pop" bands but were creative geniuses.👍
As soon as he joined Pink Floyd, he became one of my favorite guitarist. I absolutely love his sound,tone, simplicity. Very soulful playing. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Oh man! This is gonna be epic!
Only if those 2 let David talk
I'm late to the Rockenteurs party but have been catching up over the last few weeks,Gary & Guy are just brilliant.
Lovely conversation. I struck me towards the end of it that so many of the guitar players I really enjoy are English Strat players (it's only taken me 70 years to realise...). Hank, Eric, Jeff Beck, David, Mark Knopfler and more recently Guthrie Govan spring to mind and I could probably name plenty more. There's something in the way they phrase and the sound they get from their instruments that just sounds right to me.
Ritchie Blackmore as well.
Conversation? That what you call it?! A total mess more like
What a great interview guys. Such a great album. So pleased to see Greg Phillinganes on keys for the tour.
This is amazing, so grateful for listening to this. SO much history in there
I could have listened all night. Fascinating. And loving the album. Now going to listen again with new ears.
I really admire Gary Kemp. He seems like such a decent man.
Brilliant Video, The man is just an absolute legend, genius, just a nice guy.
Opened Country Life in a dentist’s waiting room and found the boat had been on sail 15yrs previously, more like😂
David Gilmour .inspired me to play guitar. 28yrs ago.in my journey of music I have learnt about all the greatest guitar players thru the ages .both this side of the pond and the states .learning all this has been a lifetime journey of joy and have been gifted to hear such beautiful music and listened to David all they years ago sent me on that journey. David gilmours amazing music is absolutely brilliant time and time again never missing a beat and with all my knowledge of music I cannot be happier with all that I have learnt of other musicians nobody in my mind or heart could not even come close to David's music. He will always be number one for me .thanks David for the wonderful gift you share with our world 🌎
Absolutely love Guy's point about David's vibrato. Definitely a more pronounced feature in his singing than ever before. And it sounds wonderful. Also loving the use of falsetto and the embracing of an almost frayed timbre at times to give the songs a sense of weary urgency. Wonderful interview.
Fantastic interview, one of the best that I have seen with David. Dave's voice and guitar playing has really influenced me though out his career. I am lucky to have a home studio that I love and I am sure anyone can relate who has one...no matter what size big or small, expensive or not. Luck and Strange is great all around, lyrically and musically. I wish that David would re-release "About Face"', still one of my favorites. Thanks once again for the mature and flat out fab interview, very refreshing. I have always wanted to meet David Gilmour (who wouldn't) and talk to him about recording and equipment.
David always gives the impression that your only ever one bad question away from him going ballistic at you.
Love the flow and whimsical content. Mesmerizing.
I’ll add Gary and Guy to my Gilmour family prayer list. God bless you all…
So much incite into this album, by such knowledgeable people. Best DG interview ive seen. Thank you
The interview is better than the album ☹️
Wow. And I just thought couple days ago, you guys should have David on. Mind powers work. Looking foward. Man is the greatest.
Always enjoy David musing- what a treat. Fab work guys!⚡️
Thank you guys! See you in Hollywood and MSG! Please play Marooned and What Do You Want From Me!
Who r these people interviewing u? They're nuts. U and Polly just keep working together. Also, I want to say ur daughter is awesome! Thank you for the music. U and Michael Hedges from Windham Hill Label, are my favorite guitarists. Love u.❤
Great album! Greetings from Brazil
Brilliant interview / conversation. Just wish he'd do more nights in the UK so more fans could get to hear him!
Agree. So few gigs creates such demand and high ticket prices. Lets hope he will do more shows in 2025....
Thank you for providing the soundtrack to my life.
Love that David was intimidated about calling Steve Gadd!
What ive heard so far is real nice its not over top and its not rattling the bass.its a smooth rec.of course,and it sounds great too
I'm a huge fan...❤ (it's " interesting" watching the FIRST colossal rock icons age)...
Great interview. No mud slinging just all about the music - Thanks guys.
Dream come true. Always wanted to see this.
Gilmour is.my hero. Can't wait till Ive got the new one. How can the man be so sharp still? I love this podcast. Thanx.
It seems like we are having a beer with you, and ear you guys talking! Wonderfull!! 😁👍
I was today years old when I found out the building way way in the distance between the two heads on The Division Bell album cover is Ely Cathedral, the very Cathedral that Gilmour is seen walking around in in The Piper's Call music video from Luck and Strange!
Love the new CD.
A fabulous insightful video, definitely the best I have heard David Gilmour do. Great work from the both of you. Thanks, David
This was worth the wait. Could be one of the best interviews with David. It’d be great to get all Rockonteur episode as videos.
Wonderful, really enjoyed that. Thank you for time well spent.
Great interview and perfect with the RIZLA+ behind David ..😁
Copenhagen 🇩🇰supports
Fantastic 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Well done!a Most enjoyable and informative conversation between three gentlemen.
Great interview gentleman David is the greatest 👌👍
Thanks for this lovely window into both the process and you guys as friends and colleagues.
Thank you guys for making this happen. 🙏
He strikes me as a very reluctant interviewee and has always has done- why dispel the mysterious muse?
….. but I will always remember him coming on stage at the palace theatre in Manchester on the dark side of the moon tour in 1973.
Just… Thank you!
Just great and fantastic interview ,,Thanks for this ,,,Shine on all...
Absolutely loved watching this. Thanks.
Many thanks!
It's a fantastic album! I love it to death, and this is a great interview about the album.
It's his best solo album by a long shot ,
😢
That question about the guitar solos was the one Ive always expected to be asked and finally came. Because David is my favourite musician because of this very reason, the guitar playing aura he has. And always felt like he didnt filled my expectations in newer records because I was hoping for 3-4 minutes long solos and now I know what he thinks about that.
at 42:22 that was so funny when Gary brought up the heartbeat sound in the song, he must've thought David was trying to say they were having
a new baby. and David's expression was great 😮
Ha ha, you could be right. I thought that Gary was talking about the heartbeat from Dark Side of the Moon. David's reaction was one of puzzlement and maybe even slightly riled. Surely he wouldn't have been annoyed if someone thought he put a reference in to his classic album. Your explanation might make more sense!
a baby at 62 years (Polly) or 78 (Gilmour)? Also, that would not be an adequate question
Great interview. Wonder what the blue, Extra long Rizlas in the background are for? 😆
David Gilmour is a gentleman.
Look!
I am probably one of the biggest David Gilmour fan in my circle of life.
That being said… love the box of Rizzlas behind him 😃
Gary and Guy, I just found your channel and you really made up my day!! Thank you really!
What a way to start the new season!
thank you! he got comfy! album is fantastic!
So much more interesting, informative, humerous and insightful than those predictable and genereric RUclips journalistic (amateur or otherwise) interviews I've been hearing DG having to suffer through of late.
Andy Jackson (Floyd engineer) said about Gilmour: "He sounds good on whatever gear. Put him on the phone and he sounds good." True! I don't know what mics are used in this podcast, but he sounds as rich, warm and lively as always. Put his vocals through a chain of Warm Audio gear and I bet he'll sound 98% as good as he does through all that vintage (and EXPENSIVE!) Telefunken/Pultec; etc gear. :)
ps. Reminds me of people always talking about expensive mics; etc and yet, nobody's talking about how good the bloke from Ukraine (forgot his name... imagine that...) sounds on Hey, Hey, Rise Up! Which was recorded on a phone!! :O The tools today can make anything sound good. Okay, I can hear it's not a Telefunken or Sony or whatever mic, but it definitely doesn't sound like a little phone mic to me at all on that track.
As successful as these two artists are in their own right, they are noticeably jumpy and nervously excited In the presence of this extraordinary man.
David reminds me of the poem 'IF' by Rudyard Kipling.
😎☯️🌱
This was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! Thank you Guy and Gary for a very warm, yet insightful look at David and his take on Luck & Strange. So relaxed and easy. It felt like exactly what it was: a sit-down with three friends on a quiet afternoon! Thank you again and I look forward to more! 🙂❤
This interview my fave so far. See ya'll soon ❤
Excellent interview! Very well done, thank you!
Really refreshing not to have to sit through the same interview we've all seen with David a million times, and I'm sure David enjoyed it as well. he has so much more to talk about than just the troubles with the band and Syd and all that stuff. Really cool to finally see him get a chance to do just that. You know he's sick of telling the same stories over and over again- and I'm sure they open old wounds to some degree. It's cool to learn Momentary Lapse of Reason was recorded here- remember how the album opened? With some guy rowing a boat- and there were several other references to rivers and water on the album. I wonder if the places it was recorded had any influence on all that. I'm guessing it did, even if it wasn't conscious on their part.
Great conversation between great men ! Love that interview !
