Saw David Gilmour of Pink Floyd last night at Radio
Ctiy. It was an amazing show. NYC was cool but give me Philly any day.
Some of the highlights...
- Special guests: David Crosby and Graham Nash sang backup vocals on a few songs.
- They played Echoes!
- As they were playing Echoes an old man with a long ass white beard was jumping and dancing around like crazy at the front of the balcony. I thought he was going to jump/fall off. It was quite a scene. Imagine a skinny Santa Clause jumping around and pumping his fist during the song Echoes while everyone else is just sitting there looking at him with mouth agape. There was also a guy with a captain's hat on we referred to as "The Skipper".
- Somerthing like 15 people in front of me were smoking weed. Now in general I don't care if people smoke weed. I am not an anti-smoking person at all (I hate those stupid "The Truth" ads) but the smoke was really getting to my sinuses. Anyhow, they all sat and smoked through the entire Gilmour solo album, but when he started playing Floyd stuff (which is what they were all really there to see) security came and kicked them all out. Lesson: If you are in a venue that doesn't allow any kind of smoking, do your toking before you come to the show.
- We took a bicycle pulled rickshaw back to the bus terminal from the venue. It was cool as he was weaving in and out of traffic in a death defying manner.
