Join us this week for Floydian Slip #986, when we pay tribute to Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. David turns 69 on March 6.
We’ll devote the show to solo works from David, including cuts from Live In Gdansk, About Face, his ’78 solo album, On an Island, some rare live material from Abbey Road in 2006 and much more.
“Floydian Slip” is heard across the 60 stations of our Random Precision Radio Network. Learn where and when to listen.
David Gilmour, YES. The Etherial, longing guitarist; who can make his instrument speak, cry… built celestial cathedrals in the sky. The man has always been the perfect counterpoint to Roger Waters’ unbridled scathing lyrics and pounding bass throbs. Gilmours’ work ,both with The Floyd and as a solo artist, stands alone as one of the few lead guitarists who can make the electric, acoustic, and lap slide guitar transcend notes and converse with the listener’s greatest empathies.
