David Gilmour - Coming back to life / Rome September 27, 2024

[@DimitriosBond]

Been there on the 27th, it was my dream to go to David Gilmour's concert since 2006 (since I was 14). I loved every minute of it. Yes, he is 78 old, but he is still able to play for 3 hours!

[@massipiozzo1974]

E’ stata una serata stupenda ; per me un sogno che si è realizzato; grazie di cuore Mitico David.

[@Outofphase6415]

It's David Gilmour. Much respect. Much love. His music has been a part of the most wonderful soundtrack of our lives.

[@SV-q9k]

Tal cual.Gracias!!!!!! Una de las mejores banda sonora de todos los tiempos!!!!!!🎼💖

[@quellidelpaddock55]

I don’t know really what do you expect from him. He obviously has lost a bit his voice but he’s still great, he’s still David gilmour, he’s 78 years old, of course it’s not the same of 20 years ago but it’s still a faboulous show and our last chance to see one of the greatest musician ever lived. Talking about the guitar in my opinion he’s still on top, of course a bit rusty after 9 years but still great.

[@dong4398]

Seen Floyd on every tour since Wish You Were Here, and seen David on his solo tour in 2006 with Rick Wright. So at 78yrs old I'll put up with a few flubs to still hear that guitar 😊

[@GLD-hopeful]

Live concert. Real life. It's wonderful David!!! ❤️

[@gregorydetroyat6905]

These guys like him or Knopfler or Clapton have been musically touching the stars for so many years, brilliant, perfect, it's natural to accept now that they can make small mistakes....that is what makes them human and admirable

[@richymoore]

It’s sad the amount of people who come to voice their criticism of his performances, as if they expect a 78 year old man to still have the lungs he had 4 decades ago. You should all remember something, this is David fucking Gilmour, and he is above all your criticism. If you’re even still alive at 78 never mind touring, you’ll be lucky. This is a legend of British music in the flesh and for that you should be thankful. The main reason people pick up and critique minor mistakes is because his career has generally been flawless, and that’s what you come to expect every time. Welcome to the world of live music.

[@thedarkdefender7780]

He is above all criticism? And you say my comments are ridiculous. He's touring, yes, but he's not doing it for free or for a low cost ticket price. Your God is not beyond reproach.

[@SuHo-bp1iy]

​@@thedarkdefender7780 So you went to the show then?

[@BillMatte]

We forgive you, you are David Gilmour, thank you for everything

[@howardlewis1381]

It's Sir David Gilmore nothing else matters!!

[@madcap_9539]

For those criticizing, try and remember David is 78.

[@Rogers_Ego]

Try & remember he's choosing to go out on tour! Unfortunately David set high standards & it's hard not to compare shows. Seen him with Floyd Roger many times so maybe I'm fortunate & understand it's an opportunity for others to see him but for me I find it sad to see the great man like this! Get others to do vocals & play guitar 🎸 with more freedom just a thought.

[@russellpavitt2710]

78, not played live for 8 yrs, still plays guitar with total mastery. 1st show of the tour. Probably his last tour. Everyone would deteriorate to some extent. Give the guy a break. Let him bed into the songs and band.

[@tjbullitt]

He could have lip-synched but no. He put himself out there. Best to enjoy David Gilmour while he’s with us still. one of the last true greats.

[@stevenclark1973]

Not the same player or singer, but lets see if we can do this at 78!? The guy is a legend. The people who expect this to be note for note on guitar and voice need to take a look at themselves really. He's not 20 anymore. We should applaud his efforts regardless.

[@helder6175]

I feel slightly better now when I miss a step or two playing his songs on the guitar. After all, it is difficult to remember them note for note. God bless him for still doing his thing and going on tour at 78 years old... besides his admission of having "a rotten memory" when it comes to the singing and playing from a documentary he did several years ago.

[@Fran_PF99]

For those critics, of course its not the same voice, the song is tuned half-step down and he’s 78, and of course you're gonna miss some notes here and there in the first shows of the tour after 10 years of not playing live, there are songs he didn't play in years, that happens even to a younger performer, kudos for playing live, when we have 20 yo singers lip syncing nowadays

[@lsbfilmproductions]

Blimey, I hadn't realised the song was downtuned!

[@UmbertoMassetani]

concordo in pieno la musica di oggi...se la possiamo chiamare musica...non a niente a che fare con il notro caro GILMOUR UN MITO X TUTTI le note inconfondibili della sua chitarra arrivano direttamente al cuore a nell'anima salutissimi a tutti

[@g.ilnon_collezionista4723]

Well, tonight (28.09) he played it perfectly.

[@tjh780]

It’s bittersweet to see him at this point in his career. That being said he’s still better than 99% of the crap that’s out there now. Every star will eventually stop shining; thank you for all the years of light and warmth.

[@Kostya1987]

Why it’s bittersweet? I was there, it was a mezmerizing show. His guitar is just amazing and he’s in a good shape for his age. As of mistakes, everyone who plays live does them. Metallica is almost 20 years younger, but also can interrupt the song and start again when they do something wrong. It’s much better than backing tracks

[@tjh780]

@@Kostya1987 it’s bittersweet in that we’re watching the decline of an icon. Yes, he’s still amazing (sweet,) but he is declining and that reminds us that his time left with us is dwindling (bitter.) Metallica, unfortunately, have been declining since the early 90’s.

We are witnessing the decline of a great artist. Honest, for not using playback...and still trying his best... ..lacking voice...and now the fingers, not completely responding... But those who could attend these shows, will someday cherish they were able to behold the dawning rays of light of a once enormous star... Thanks for years of incredible guitar playing and beautiful voice, David!

[@davelebeer6551]

Absolutely! Thank you Mr Gilmour! As long as you perform I will come to see you! ❤

[@updem]

That comment was beautiful and nearly brought me to tears. I saw David in 2016 in Chicago and he was still superb, time catches up even to the Gods. It's very conflicting to watch him now, yet I'm still happy he's giving it one last go and sharing such incredible music with us once more. His new album is quite good too.

Signori, è il mio idolo da sempre ma adesso basta, è giunto il tempo di appendere la chitarra. Troppi errori, troppe stonature nei bending. Incazzatevi pure per quello che ho detto ma è la verità

[@fabforge8193]

Ieri ero al concerto, non so se tu fossi presente, ma oggettivamente questa è quella che ha suonato peggio sia a livello di “errori” e sbavature che di parti dimenticate/cambiate. La performance di praticamente tutti i pezzi è stata, sia vocalmente che musicalmente di livello, con dei picchi di eccellenza. Sicuramente mani meglio della voce :)

[@rulingmoss5599]

I genuinely think if he refrained from singing most songs and put more focus and energy into the guitar, it would be better. Perhaps the strain of singing at such an old age is affecting his ability to focus on playing.

[@johnfowler3125]

Everyone here is so mean. He may want to reconsider this song, though. Probably many other songs from his catalog to bring back.

[@madcap_9539]

This was the song he even struggled a bit with last tour but he does seem to like it quite a bit. He's performed it every tour he's done since the Division Bell tour so I really can't see him dropping it.

[@lawrenceflail3164]

He didn't cut anyone a break on ticket prices so he deserves the criticism if he can't sing anymore.

If you are worried about your money then don't go, simple. The rest of us will definitely go and see him, bum notes and mistakes and all.

People have paid a lot of money to make critical comments on KZbin. On the other hand, I'm flying halfway around the world to go to the show on Wednesday. I know his voice is going. It was going on his last tour as well. Gilmour's talent doesn't solely lie in his vocal abilities. That's why I'm going. And I suspect I may not get another chance.

[@2terryh]

I was there, it was extraordinary. I’d MUCH rather see a live, real, honest, raw performance, than some lip-synced nonsense that some other “artists” put out. It’s true that his voice has changed, but people who post these videos-and those that watch them-would do well to remember that this is a live show, performed for the people who attend, and we are attending for the atmosphere, the experience, the reality. If you want perfection, wait until the sanitised, cleaned-up tour dvd is released in a few months.
