And then, naturally, put on a big light show?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/david-gilmour\/\" id=\"auto-tag_david-gilmour\" data-tag=\"david-gilmour\">David Gilmour<\/a> may not have sole rights to that title (Eric Clapton preceded him in passing through L.A. just two weeks ago), but there is not a lot of competition for the place he holds in rock culture. It\u2019s safe to say that the four shows he\u2019s doing in SoCal would be a significant draw even if he toured more than once every eight years (that\u2019s the interval since the last time he came around, anyway, if not the average)\u2026 and even if his North American \u201croad trip\u201d this time wasn\u2019t limited to just two cities. Throw in the scarcity created by the aforementioned factors and it\u2019s no wonder that there is an element of David Gilmour Tourism in the Southland this week, with national and even international <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/pink-floyd\/\" id=\"auto-tag_pink-floyd\" data-tag=\"pink-floyd\">Pink Floyd<\/a> fans flying in and posting \u201cWish you were here\u201d messages to their socials from beautiful downtown Inglewood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGilmour\u2019s first U.S. show since April 2016 took place Friday at the <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/intuit-dome\/\" id=\"auto-tag_intuit-dome\" data-tag=\"intuit-dome\">Intuit Dome<\/a>, a one-off in that nearly brand-new venue booked to precede the three dates he\u2019s doing this week in the more familiar climes of the Hollywood Bowl, on Tuesday through Thursday. From there, it will be off to New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden for five nights, Nov. 4-10. And then, Brigadoon recedes into the mist, and we get him back in\u2026 when? 2032? Possibly in a shorter interval than that, since he\u2019s indicated that recording his fifth solo album, \u201cLuck and Strange,\u201d charged him up to make music on a more regular schedule. Or possibly never, since Gilmour seems like the kind of guy who might honestly love the English countryside more than he loves us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tEither way that Gilmour\u2019s touring regimen might or might not turn out in years to come, the Intuit Dome was a fine place to be alive and living in the moment Friday, under the spell of a man who is very careful with that axe. As much as ever, he sounded like a rocker gifted with two voices: the one coming out of his mouth, which has acquired just a touch of a rasp around the edges with age, and the one coming from his hands, which feels as emotionally expressive as any literal vocalization ever could. The eternal irony stands: Gilmour, utterly nonchalant and affectless as a stage personality, effectively breaking into tears once or twice per song, via the gently weepiest solos known to man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGilmour\u2019s U.S. opening-night setlist matched what audiences in Europe saw a few weeks ago in his smattering of dates in England and Rome. It extended to about three hours with an intermission, including a healthy mixture of selections from Roger Waters-era Pink Floyd (seven numbers), solely-Gilmour-led, post-Waters Floyd albums (five songs), Gilmour\u2019s previous solo album, \u201cRattle That Lock\u201d (three numbers) and \u201cLuck and Strange\u201d (all nine of its tracks).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNo doubt there will be a few fans who would\u2019ve liked to have heard still more classic Floyd cuts in place of a couple of the new ones \u2014 but better to have an artist who is motivated and engaged than one who feels contractually obligated to play \u201cMoney.\u201d The songs are good, and sometimes not just good but all-timers, but what everyone is most paying their money for here is the solos. And to that end, he could just about get away with singing \u201cPink Pony Club,\u201d as long as he busted out his chops as part of the deal. This isn\u2019t to diminish the new songs \u2014 mostly written with his wife, Polly Samson, as ever, from 1994\u2019s \u201cThe Division Bell\u201d forward \u2014 as delivery systems for those instrumentally spectacular payoffs. Up to a climactic point, the biggest standing ovation of the night, surprisingly, came for the fireworks Gilmour delivered to cap off one of the new songs, \u201cThe Piper\u2019s Call,\u201d early in the second half. A rousingly effective solo like that doesn\u2019t scale its summit all by itself, and maybe there is something in the warnings that Samson wrote into those lyrics that somehow acts as a piper to lure out the best in Gilmour when he finally lets it rip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  size-large alignnone\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure  lrv-u-font-family-secondary u-color-medium-grey lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-light-grey-tint-two u-margin-b-150 lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:755px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<p>\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/P1153880.jpg?w=755\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/P1153880.jpg 3388w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/P1153880.jpg?resize=111,150 111w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/P1153880.jpg?resize=221,300 221w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"1024\" width=\"755\"\/><\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-t-1 lrv-u-padding-b-1\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xs u-margin-b-050\">David Gilmour at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xxs\">Chris Willman\/Variety<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut the best song off \u201cLuck and Strange\u201d might be one that is neither co-written nor sung by Gilmour. That would be \u201cBetween Two Points,\u201d a cover of a cult-favorite Montgolfier Brothers song that is now being delivered on tour, as on record, by the artist\u2019s daughter, Romany Gilmour. Ironically, the sadly sarcastic, fatalistic lyrics read as the closest the album come to the kind of cynical words that used to be turned out by Roger Waters, and Romany\u2019s simple, affectless delivery adds a kind of poignance to them that might not have been there if the senior Gilmour had just delivered the cover himself. Of course the concert version ended in yet another burst of firepower from Dad, taking to his instrument to sound sad on his daughter\u2019s half, or maybe explosively protective, for a few fierce minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOnce Romany emerged for \u201cBetween Two Points\u201d late in the first half, she remained on stage for the remainder of the show, taking her place along the three other women who formed a vocalist-instrumentalist chorale, the Webb Sisters and Louise Marshall. Romany occasionally picked up a portable harp, complementing Hattie Webb\u2019s larger one; this surely was the only rock show in L.A. Friday night to boast any twin-harp-attack moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNot to seem to be diminishing the star\u2019s vocal numbers, but arguably the best number of the evening Friday was yet another one in which Gilmour ceded his position as lead singer to female vocals. \u201cThe Great Gig in the Sky,\u201d the track that Clare Torry legendarily wailed on to end Side 1 of \u201cThe Dark Side of the Moon,\u201d can be a concert highlight if either of the touring Floyd frontmen find a way to pull it off\u2026 which they both have. Waters did a tour where he got the vocal duo Lucius to impressively double up on Torry\u2019s powerful vocal part. It would have seemed difficult for Gilmour to top or even find a different approach to that\u2026 and the last time he toured the States, he left the tune off his setlist. This time around, he\u2019s offering an ingenious arrangement in which it is sung by all four women on stage \u2014 Romany, Marshall and Hattie and Charlie Webb \u2014 seated around the piano Marshall is playing, while the frontman plays his trademark lap-steel part on the other end. This is a wordless vocal number in which almost anyone who ever attempts it tries to bust a lung, a la Torry. But here, the four women took the approach of singing the whole thing softly\u2026 truly going gentle into that good night, and going gorgeously.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"David Gilmour &#039;The Great Gig in the Sky&#039; at Intuit Dome\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LkGMEakEtFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThat\u2019s somehow symbolic of a softer approach that Gilmour takes in almost all regards. Waters\u2019 approach to Pink Floyd emphasized material that was brooding, even menacing. Some of that remains inherent in certain songs that are still part of Gilmour\u2019s set, like the \u201cBreathe\u201d\/\u201dTime\u201d medley from \u201cDark Side,\u201d which has served as a news alert to several successive generations of young people that they are going to die someday. (It\u2019s a dirty job, but some song\u2019s gotta do it.) But that kind of material has never seemed like it\u2019s coming from exactly where Gilmour lives. The early Floyd song in the set that feels most reflective of this artist\u2019s actual atom heart is the vintage solo composition \u201cFat Old Sun,\u201d which, if it isn\u2019t the most cheery song in the band\u2019s catalog, certainly comes close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThere\u2019s a peacefulness in Gilmour\u2019s overall ethos that is at odds with the anxiety his ex-partner instilled. And so when you go to one of his concerts, you know, for better or worse, that there it\u2019s not going to be a message show\u2026 beyond the message that life is bittersweet. There will be inflatables, but not a giant pig one, where you\u2019re going to be nervous about what disturbing logo might\u2019ve been branded onto it. Rather, for \u201cHigh Hopes,\u201d the tune that ends Act 1, giant balloons are launched out into the audience, sending everyone out into the lobby ebullient as they wait for what the second half holds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  size-large alignnone\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure  lrv-u-font-family-secondary u-color-medium-grey lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-light-grey-tint-two u-margin-b-150 lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:1024px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<p>\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg 6584w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=1920,1280 1920w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=1360,907 1360w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=1000,667 1000w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=910,607 910w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=681,454 681w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=450,300 450w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241025_David_Gilmour_017.jpg?resize=250,167 250w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-t-1 lrv-u-padding-b-1\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xs u-margin-b-050\">David Gilmour at the Intuit Dome<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xxs\">Courtesy Intuit Dome<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt\u2019s not a super-high-tech show, or at least an obviously envelope-pushing one, by Floyd standards. The big screen behind the band often has visuals presented in a giant circle, just like in the \u201870s. In the divorce, Gilmour even got (or at least shared) the rights to the vintage \u201cTime\u201d animations of roving clocks. There is a monochrome, pencil-sketch animation of soldiers menacing children in wartime, showing that the artist is not afraid of introducing a momentarily disturbing visual, amid the overall placidity. Less tense is a colorful new animation for \u201cDark and Velvet Nights.\u201d The lighting scheme has some fresh wrinkles \u2014 notably, in the Act 2 opener \u201cSorrow,\u201d when the entire stage seems to be enveloped from bottom to top in a strobe-packed lightning storm. But toward the end, what really makes the audience ooh and aah is some green lasers\u2026 same as it ever was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe show ended with its sole encore, \u201cComfortably Numb,\u201d which in strictly thematic terms is not a great way to end a concert, on a note of drugging oneself into oblivion. But Gilmour can\u2019t help it if he and Waters wrote a sad song that no more upbeat song can reasonably follow. It contains not just one but two of the greatest guitar solos ever conceived that did not appear on a Steely Dan record, and Gilmour, at 78, is going to blow your mind again with expansive versions of both of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHis playing throughout all this is bluesy \u2014 much bluesier than it\u2019s usually given credit for \u2014 but of course it\u2019s a peculiarly ethereal version of the blues, transmitted up to and transmuted back from the heavens. Gilmour could have been called \u201cSlow Hand\u201d if that label hadn\u2019t been slapped on Clapton first; after hearing his playing in a show like this one, fans might feel ready to finally transfer the \u201c\u2026Is God\u201d title, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<br \/><strong>Setlist for David Gilmour at the Intuit Dome, Inglewood, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Set 1:<\/em><br \/>5 A.M.<br \/>Black Cat<br \/>Luck and Strange \u2013 instr<br \/>Breathe (In the Air)<br \/>Time<br \/>Breathe (Reprise)<br \/>Fat Old Sun<br \/>Marooned<br \/>A Single Spark<br \/>Wish You Were Here<br \/>Vita Brevis <br \/>Between Two Points<br \/>High Hopes<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Set 2:<\/em><br \/>Sorrow<br \/>The Piper\u2019s Call<br \/>A Great Day for Freedom<br \/>In Any Tongue<br \/>Short Talk<br \/>The Great Gig in the Sky<br \/>A Boat Lies Waiting<br \/>Coming Back to Life<br \/>Dark and Velvet Nights<br \/>Sings<br \/>Scattered<br \/>Comfortably Numb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/music\/concert-reviews\/david-gilmour-intuit-dome-concert-review-live-pink-floyd-1236192042\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will the last remaining true classic-rock guitar-god frontman turn out the lights?
