David Gilmour has released a live version of “The Piper’s Call” recorded during his recent tour.
The digital-only release was recorded at the Brighton Centre, Circus Maximus in Rome; the Royal Albert Hall in London; the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles; and Madison Square Garden in New York. It was edited to become a single track by Gilmour, the album’s co-producer Charlie Andrew and Matt Glasby.
“On the ‘Luck and Strange’ tour, I played with the best band I’ve ever had. Their personalities, playing abilities and enthusiasm for my new music have made for a fabulous experience for Polly (Samson) and me,” Gilmour says. “Romany’s voice really stands out and has its own particular character, she brings a sense of mischief and fun to the live performance, which I think we needed.
“Thank you to everyone who attended the shows in Europe and America and thank you for buying ‘Luck and Strange.’ I hope you found as much enjoyment in the music as we did while performing it,” he adds.
The “Luck and Strange” tour began with two sold-out warm-up shows at the Brighton Centre before moving to Circus Maximus in Rome for six sold-out nights. It moved to London’s Royal Albert Hall before going to the U.S. for sold-out evenings at the Intuit Dome and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, before wrapping with five sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
