Gilmourish

Review: BigToneMusicBrewery Royal Beaver

I’ve always been a huge fan of the classic Big Muff. I guess it’s the one effect I can’t live without. Not only because of David Gilmour’s tones but all the different models over the years each with a distinct tone of its own. Wouldn’t it be great to have all those models in one pedal? Big Tone Music Brewery did just that with the Royal Beaver so naturally I had to check it out!

Airbag live in Gothenburg

OK, I usually don’t do this. Gilmourish.Com is after all a David Gilmour tribute but I thought perhaps you’d like to see a clip of Airbag’s latest show in Gothenburg, Sweden this saturday… Obviously there’s a lot of Gilmourizing going on!

David and The Orb

A lot of action in the Gilmour camp these days! Apart from the total surprise with Roger a week ago (as covered below) there’s some goodies coming in October as well!

Full video of Roger and David’s performance!

Wow! Talk about bringing the roof down! If you haven’t already be sure to check out David and Roger’s complete performance together at the Hoping Foundation homepage. It’s also possible to donate for the cause if you want to.

Gullmour Wah review

You’ve heard the effect – those strange, haunting screams sounding like a seagull on speed. Although rarely used it’s become one of David’s signature sounds. The new Gullmour Wah from Eye-Rock Electronics promises to capture the tone and the name it self was enough for me to check it out.

Film clip from the Hoping Foundation gig!

Roger Waters posted a short clip on his Facebook page today from the charity show he and David did a couple of weeks ago for the Hoping Foundation!

In addition to the clip Roger says “Here is a 2 minute taster of the gig David and I did together for The Hoping Foundation back in July. The sound quality is crap but it was a great night for me, and for him, and also for “US and THEM” . Please support the Hoping Foundation, they are doing great work for refugee children. David and I have given the charity the whole 29 mins and I’m told they’re going to put it up at approximately 5.00pm (UK time) on Monday. Go to hopingfoundation.org/ to see the video and please support the charity if you can.

David agrees to perform with Roger again???

Roger Waters confirms on his Facebook page today that David has agreed – in fact suggested it him self – to play guitar on Comfortably Numb on one of Roger’s Wall shows! According to Roger, they haven’t agreed on a date or venue yet.

David and Roger perform together! (update – gear details)

Right out of the blue David and Roger did a performance together yesterday (Saturday 10 July) at the Hoping Foundation Benefit Evening in Kidlington in Oxfordshire, England!

Together with Guy Pratt (bass and acoustic guitar), Harry Waters (keyboards, Roger’s son), Andy Newmark (drums, Roxy Music), Chester Kamen (guitar, Bryan Ferry) and Jonjo Grisdale (keyboards) they performed Wish You Were Here, To Know Him Is To Love Him (Phil Spector), Comfortably Numb and Another Brick In the Wall (part 2).

Examining Time

Pink Floyd is synonymous with epic classics like Echoes, Comfortably Numb and Shine On You Crazy Diamond but I’ve always loved their ability to make even a basic rock song stand out as masterpiece. Time has it all and not least one of David’s finest guitar solos. In this article we’ll examine David’s playing and gear and ways to achieve that legendary fuzz tone.

David joins Al Green on UK TV

David joined Al Green and his band, including Jools Holland, on a one off performance on the Jonathan Ross show on BBC 18 June. They did a great version of Al’s old classic Let’s Stay Together.
