I was diagnosed with cancer a week ago at 34 and the only place I want to be is here, listening to this and forgetting everything and everyone.
-
Years ago I was going through a very difficult time. Many times I put the DVD of this concert on when I was desperate and suicidal. Each and every time it pulled me back from the brink. It truly saved my life.
-
I love his songs very much whoever is listening to this songs and you have come across my comment God bless you for me

I'm overwhelmed. Thank you David Gilmour.

Wow, standing there all by himself, making music, with an acoustic guitar and one pedal - it shows that he is not relying on the electric guitars and mixers and the like. He is just a great musician!
-
It's one thing to be a legend after you die. But to a legend while living is spectacular. That's what Gilmour and the other members of Pink Floyd are, legends in their own time..

You can tell David Gilmore feels every note he plays, I can just feel his passion for his music !!

Hush-a-bye mountain followed by a simple, whispered "goodnight". Why does this man make me cry every time? ❤😊

20 years ago.... ahhhhh, where were you? Still as fresh as the day he was there. Yet time ticks away. Thank you Sir David Gilmour, for being a musician during my lifetime-my entire lifetime. See you on the dark side of the moon. 💜🎵

Pink Floyd will Live on forever. They don't make music like this anymore. No matter how many times I hear their albums it never gets old and always hits my soul.

Here I am looking out my window in my new home and watch the birds feeding on the bird feeder and listen to David and I close my eyes how divine
