I wrote this one hour ago on my FB wall... Je tiens, l'âge venu, ce morceau de bravoure pour un des plus vertigineux moments de guitare rock de tous les temps. Mon ami Bernard sait comme je lui sais gré de m'avoir fait découvrir au hasard d'une palabre la version en public à Gdansk (AKA "Dandzig"), qui longtemps m'a paru inégalable. Or, je viens de découvrir il y a peu cette version plus récente, jouée à Sao Paulo. Bernard partage mon point de vue: plus rock dans l'esprit, mais aussi plus mélodieuse, plus tendue également, elle me convainc encore davantage. Et pour vous faire un dernier aveu, je réécoute beaucoup le Floyd ces derniers temps. Jusqu'à les replacer plus hauts qu'ils n'étaient, dans mon Panthéon. Ca aussi c'est peut-être un symptome. Sinon du "retour à l'enfance", du moins à l'adolescence. Le passé comme un refuge? Y a de ça, oui! Mais n'empêche, ce Gilmour des temps présents, c'est quelque chose! Google translates it: When I get older, I consider this piece of bravura to be one of the most dizzying guitar rock moments of all time. My dear mate Bernard knows how grateful I am to him for having introduced me to the chance of a palaver the version in public in Gdansk (AKA "Dandzig"), which for a long time seemed incomparable to me. However, I recently discovered this more recent version, performed in Sao Paulo. Bernard shares my point of view: more rock in spirit, but also more melodious, also more tense, it convinces me even more. And to make a final confession, I've been listening to Floyd a lot lately. To the point of placing them higher than they were, in my Pantheon. This too may be a symptom. If not "return to childhood", at least to adolescence. The past as a refuge? There is that, yes! But nonetheless, this Gilmour of present times is something!
These guys are such talented musicians. Who else reads the music while their playing these days? Every song, for each musician of the band, is one-long-assed-solo! No simple 1-4-5 chord progressions here!
And the STRAT SINGS ! NO - CRIES ! - wait is this a GLP ? Noooo ! 😫 NO IT IS A STRAT. BUT NOT HIS WHITE #1 ! You hear it ! No Pedal can sing like his white #1 Stratocoaster !
After over 50 years has not lost his edge which is a miracle...Looks wise, appearance, clothes, musician ship and most amazing of all the voice...Doing a Coverdale Purple song at age 72--wow
