Pink Floyd songs featured during the show include “Marooned,” “Breathe (In the Air),” and “A Great Day for Freedom.” According to Ultimate Classic Rock, before the Sept. 20 concert, Gilmour hadn’t performed the former track since 2004 and the latter two since 2006.
Given the warm up show, fans are more excited than ever for Gilmour’s tour. The singer will hit the road Sept. 27 in Rome, Italy, before playing shows in London and Los Angles. The tour will conclude with a five-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
David Gilmour Won’t Play Certain Pink Floyd Songs on Tour
Just before his recent concert, Gilmour spoke to Mojo about why some Pink Floyd songs will be left off his set list going forward.
“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing,” he said. “I love ‘Run Like Hell.’ I loved the music I created for it, but all that ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”
“‘Another Brick In The Wall’ is another one I shan’t be doing. I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgment,” Gilmour added. “The same with ‘Money.’ I won’t be doing that.”
