David Gilmour in Concert - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon (1984)
David Gilmour in concert 84 is a film by David Gilmour from his 1984 tour supporting the album About Face. The film is mainly a concert performance from the Hammersmith Odeon in London on April 30, 1984.
A documentary called After the Floyd, which followed Gilmour on the 1984 solo tour, includes interviews with David on tour buses (the bus driver refers to David as the ex-guitarist of Pink Floyd) and in hotel rooms. Also included is more live footage of concerts and soundchecks in Europe. It is now long out of production.
Thanks to the advancement of technology, this has now been upscaled and presented on YouTube in the clearest quality to date.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening will support Gov’t Mule’s on tour as the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon is celebrated
Gov’t Mule are to join the throng of those celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon. The band have announced a 13-date Dark Side Of The Mule tour – where they’ll play a set of Floyd classics – with support from Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
The run of 13 shows will commence at the Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ on July 22, and climax at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, on August 19. Tickets go on sale March 10
The Dark Side Of The Muleconcept dates back to 2008, when the band played a set of Pink Floyd covers at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, MA. The show was subsequently released as a live album in 2014, and was reissued in May of last year.
“This all started so organically with what we thought would be a one-time Halloween performance,” says Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes. “Since then, Dark Side Of The Mule has grown into something else. It’s a blast to perform this material but our intent is to do it for one final tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dark Side. Don’t miss it!”
Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening launched in 2010, and have since toured the globe performing the Led Zep catalogue, touring with the likes of Heart and Kid Rock. “It’s the greatest to represent my family and play these songs live,” Bonham says.
Gov’t Mule’s Dark Side Of The Mule dates are in addition to a previously-announced 11-date tour in May, and three New Year shows postponed from 2022.
Gov’t Mule 2023 Tour Dates:

Thanks to our friends at Pink Floyd Collectors for the heads up, we have just been told that Nick Mason has given his blessing to Roger Waters, who has rerecorded a brand new version of Dark Side of the Moon.
Motor racing journalist Adam Cooper mentioned on Twitter that he had spoken to Nick personally about Roger’s recording, and Nick has described the new version as “brilliant.” Roger acknowledged the tweet with… “Ah love my friend Nicky!”
All of you budding musicians who are following in the footsteps of David Gilmour will be happy to know that Gilmourish, the number one David Gilmour Guitar Gear website, has announced that they are launching the brand new site on March 13th, 2023.

With effects pedal and amp settings, guides on how to achieve certain sounds, and reviews and pedal suggestions for those wishing to get their favourite era of tones on a budget.
All of us at AFG are very excited to see what’s in store.
Exactly 50 years ago today, on March 7, 1973, Pink Floyd took to the stage of the International Amphitheatre, Chicago, IL, USA, in celebration of the release of The Dark Side of the Moon, in a set spanning over 2 hours, featuring songs such as Echoes, Obscured By Clouds, When You’re In, Childshood End, Careful with That Axe, Eugene, and the entire Dark Side of the Moon album with the encore of One of These Days.
As part of the celebrations currently ongoing for the 50th anniversary of “The Dark Side of the Moon,” Mark Campbell, a budding fan of the band who was in attendance at the International Amphitheatre, has very kindly given us permission to share his collection of photos online for the first time.
These were taken exactly 50 years ago, on this date.
When sharing these photos, Mark had this to say: “Fifty(!) years ago tonight, I saw Pink Floyd from the eighth row on their Dark Side of the Moon tour at the International Amphitheatre. The album had just been released a week earlier, so we had no idea it would attain such legendary status. These photos were taken by me with my cheap Kodak Instamatic and by my friend with his Nikon 35mm. It was back in the days before heavy security, when you could leave your seat, walk right up to the front of the stage, and take pictures. Back then, their stage set looked (and was) incredibly high-tech. Now it almost looks like a high school band. And I still wonder why the band didn’t cover up that stockyards-era ad behind the stage for the Sirloin Room restaurant. At the time, the staging was incredibly high-tech, but now, it looks pretty tame. I took these pictures from my 8th row seat.”
Our thanks go to Mark for allowing us to use his collection.
Many happy returns to David Gilmour who celebrates his 77th Birthday today !
It’s not just his birthday today, but the 17th anniversary of the 2006 release of On An Island, selections of which he performed for the first time live, at his own 60th birthday party at London’s Porchester Hall!
As part of the 2023 Record Store Day celebrations, Sony Classical Masterworks has announced thatStravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale,narrated by Roger Waters, is going to be pressed onto 1000 limited edition 12″ vinyl on April 7, 2023.
Originally released in 2018 on Sony Classical Masterworks, Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale is a new adaptation of the narration for Stravinsky’s 1918 theatrical work solely for orchestra, where Waters is set to narrate the story and voice all of its characters. Waters worked with seven musicians associated with the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival, forming an ensemble that sought to honor Stravinsky’s work while reinterpreting it for a new audience.
According to the original press release, this project is but the latest in a string of forays into the world of high art for Waters. “Both here and in other works Waters certainly feels an affinity with this moment in the history of music whenever he has to decide how atonal to make his music. How radical should it be? And how is music related to the Classical and Romantic tradition? This is arguably the most important question that progressive music has to ask itself today.”
Waters’ choice of The Soldier’s Tale is serendipitous, give that “he has wanted for a long time to engage more deeply with the work of a composer whose weight and occasional inaccessibility may perhaps have much in common with” his own music.
Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale in limited edition clear vinyl is set for release April 7th via Sony Classical Masterworks
