Just got an email that David Gilmore from Pink Floyd is playing The Hollywood Bowl on 3/24/16. 

I've seen Roger Waters 5 times and one of them was the full Dark Side of the Moon album w/ Nick Mason on drums at the Hollywood Bowl. I'd love to catch a David Gilmore show.

Fun Fact:

I once won a contest when I was 11-12ish via a Portland, ME TV station where I won a Flimation Ghostbusters action figure and had my name read on TV. Got some gift certificate to or something. Also that cartoon sucked worse than Hercules Boomarang.

This is going to be controversial, but I watched some of Ghostbusters with my kids and... it wasn't really that funny. Certainly didn't live up to what I remembered it being like. They weren't impressed either, I think, as neither of them has requested to see the rest of it since. I'm sure I should go back and watch the whole thing, but I haven't felt motivated to do that.

Back to the Future, on the other, that was a hit with them and me again.

Why would you care about seeing David Gilmore when you have already seen the guy that made Pink Floyd what they were 5 times?

So how does that Gamestop TIV thing work? Just buy a $0.99 used game and I'll get a coupon for 50% bonus trade in value on my receipt?

Yes, the current printout will give you a 50% coupon for the week of the 27th though. If you are looking for some this week you will need to hit up someone for a code. I had 4 total using my last one today otherwise I'd send it your way.

Awesome dude..I saw Roger Waters at summerfest in 2007. With all the shows I go to, that may have been the best concert I've gone to.

Because David Gilmore is the author of the best guitar solo in the history of guitar solos and he is equally as much Pink Floyd as Roger.

How far did you get into Ghostbusters?

I have an extra code, though I won't have access to it until I get home.

The first Ghostbusters is definitely still great, and funny. The kids like it too. I haven't watched the 2nd one in years though.

I would love to see hime play once since I'll never see a full Floyd reunion. The last Roger Waters show I saw was The Wall in its entirety. It was AMAZING!

Speaking of judging things early, I'm going to see Ant Man with some friends tonight. I'll let you know what I think based on watching it and then checking its rotten tomatoes scores.

The show I saw he did Dark Side in entirety. Also sent out the flying pig, full of anti-bush propaganda...He's not even from America, but oh well.
 
I saw Roger Waters play at the old arena across the street from the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee years ago, circa '99 or '00.  Great two part show with cool visuals and a tripped out girl in the audience dancing like her life depended on it.  

But I really wanna see David Gilmore live because of his guitar work.  It's sad he's only announced four North America dates.  I suppose I could try to road trip to Chicago, but who wants to step foot in Illinois?

 
I never got the love for Pink Floyd. Guess because I was more of drinker then a stoner. Friend of mine in HS loved them and she tried to get me into them. I liked Black Sabbath, Slayer, Metallica, and speed/thrash metal.

Bring the hate.

I know Roger gets a lot of the credit and he wrote a lot of stuff, but Gilmore also wrote a good portion of stuff that people don't give him credit for. The Wall is my fave Floyd album, and it's obviously Roger's baby, but Gilmore still was a huge contributor to it, which you can hear when you listen to the songs from The Wall on their live Pulse CD.

And I know the two Floyd albums (well three I guess now with that demo tapes one from last year) are mostly in the Adult Oriented Soft Rock drawer, but I still dig the tunes. Some good music and good guitar work and good lyrics.

Roger was a big part of Floyd, but so was David. It's not really truly Floyd without either one. But since Gilmore had 3/4 of the band when Roger left, I consider it close enough for rock n roll.

I get they're not for everybody. My musical tastes are obviously very brought because I love all the bands you just mentioned. It hit more of an emotional thing for me in high school since we played Comfortably Numb at a school concert right before I moved away at the end of my junior year. But learning that song I got into their other stuff and can zone out and enjoy it for what it is.

 
Yeah, Gilmour is playing in New York and some of my buddies are going. It's on a Monday, which means I'd probably have to take two days off of work to go (3ish hour drive each way, wouldn't get home until like 3 or 4 am and there's no way I'm going in the next day). I'm getting old and boring, I guess. He should suck it up and do a full tour, then I'll go. Saw Waters 3 times (2x The Wall, 1 Dark Side) and it was spectacular. I don't expect Gilmour will be able to top it.

I admit I am probably trivializing Gilmore's part of Pink Floyd overall. Your second paragraph is mainly why I feel that way though. The Floyd stuff without Water's influence is just such a different animal. If you listen to Water's solo stuff (particularly The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking) it still has that Floyd feel (to me at least).

I am definitely in the minority, but I would put Syd Barrett's descent into mental illness as a larger part of what made Floyd what they were than Gilmore just because it drove a lot of the context of their music.

If you could see only 1 of them I suppose Gimore is the one everyone wants to say they saw. As far as songwriting, Roger Waters hands down. When I was younger I liked but never really loved Pink Floyd, and as I got older I realized it was because I didn't care for Gimore that much.

However all of the stuff I did love was written by Roger Waters. All of my guitar friends disagreed with me of course.

I also felt vindicated when "Momentary Lapse of Reason" was released. It was Gilmore singing but over worse songs, droning and boring. Unfortunately the guitarist in my band still liked it.

I was not a drinker or a stoner when I fell in love with Pink Floyd. Even as old as I am, Pink Floyd was really before my time, but the produce guy at the grocery store I worked at played their stuff all the time in the stock room of the store. It just started clicking with me and I have been a huge fan ever since.

Maybe I am the only person who has watched The Wall 20 times or more without being stoned for a single viewing.

 
that geom grind is real.  I'm not surprised that I'm doing it again, but I am disappointed in myself.  only 600k to go!

apparently the guys that run evo are making a pc fighting game with mechs as characters called rising thunder.  they just showed a promo for it and it looks pretty bitchin.

I've never been stoned for a Wall viewing either! I went to see it once at midnight at a theater in downtown Green Bay. A theater that served beer to you in your seat and let you smoke in the theater. It's normally where I went to Rocky Horror midnight shows. Anyway I probably got a contact high during that shit, but I don't remember really feeling anything weird.

Pink Floyd and the Beatles are probably my 2 favorite bands, so it's been wonderful hearing you guys discuss these bands. Ive seen all kinds of floyd shows...Roger Waters, cover bands, light shows, so I would love to add a Gilmore show to that list sometime in my life. As far as the Beatles, they don't seem like they'd be that great of a live band. I'D be fine living my life without seeing Paul McCartney. Both good bands stoned or sober though. The Wall movie may be hard to watch without a little something in you though.

Oh Shit! Oh Shit! Oh Shit! Oh Shit! Ay Blood Ay Blood Oh Shit! Oh Shit!

Pretty impressive. I never watched it stoned either but I've only watched it completely maybe 2-3 times.
