One of my first records that I heard was 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd.
'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'Wish You Were Here' are standout tracks. 'Comfortably Numb' is another one. 'High Hopes' from 'The Division Bell' is one of my favorite all-time Pink Floyd tracks. 'The Great Gig in the Sky,' 'Echoes,' there's lot of them.
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.
Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
My dad was a theater designer, and I spent a lot of time hanging around the dressing room listening to whatever the actors were listening to, which is where I heard Pink Floyd for the first time.
I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.
I was always a Pink Floyd fan, and I was always into movie soundtracks.
My mother raised me right - everything from Fleetwood Mac and the Doors to Pink Floyd and so on and so forth.
I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure.
