Some of the Floyd cover bands still show those old clips. That one, the ones from Dark Side Of The Moon (the clocks from 'Time', city gents from 'Us And Them', obviously the Gerald Scarfe animation from The Wall).
I don't know if you see bands much, Judd, but I thoroughly recommend The Australian Pink Floyd who put on a fantastic show each year at numerous venues around the UK. Touring in Nov-Dec 2018.

Good shout about Aussie Pink Floyd. We have seen them four times now, with the best of them at the Royal Albert Hall, where they had the full light and scenery show, which was amazing. Well worth going to one of their gigs

Re: David Gilmour: Live at Pompeii

I was really suprised to see and hear just how good Aussie Pink Floyd really are. There are a lot of subtleties in Pink Floyds music especialy Dave Gilmours string bending. They pull it off well.

Re: David Gilmour: Live at Pompeii

Another thing I like about the Aussie Floyd is that they are not restricted to what they can play.
Whereas Gilmour and Waters will naturally only play Pink Floyd songs they respectively penned each, the cover band will play stuff right across the board.

Just watched it, very good, I guessed he would close with Comfortably Numb.

Re: David Gilmour: Live at Pompeii

Was surprised to see a bloke and two birds doing the vocal on Great big gig in the Sky, worked well though.

As he always does. Probably Gilmour's finest moment.

I believe one of the girls singing was on the Pink Floyd tour in 1987-88, and has also performed with the Aussie Floyd too.
I agree, a good voice from the bloke in the trio.
