Yesterday afternoon saw the filming,
for broadcast last night, of David Gilmour's appearance on "The Tonight
Show With Jay Leno", one of the more popular shows on NBC television in
the US.

| David Gilmour on Jay Leno show (NBC) |
Shot on a warm, sunny afternoon
in the Burbank area of Los Angeles, it saw David and his excellent band
running through a four and a half minute version of the title track
from David's new album, "On An Island". Accompanied by David Crosby and
Graham Nash on backing vocals, it was a nice performance, albeit with
the final guitar solo cut extremely short.
To air during the end titles was
the Pink Floyd classic, Wish You Were Here. Cut rather shot on
transmission (in other words, excluded altogether!), the full, four
minute version can nevertheless be seen on demand, along with the other
track played, over at this link at www.NBC.com. To remind our European friends, CNBC Europe air this show, this coming Tuesday.
In a nice gesture, the majority of the audience were fans, having been successful in a ticket giveaway organised by DavidGilmour.com.
This made for a nice, enthusiastic crowd, making a change from the
normally disinterested audiences you see for such televised events.
As a reminder, today sees the AOL Music
site updated with the performance that David did especially for them -
which consists of On An Island, This Heaven, Take A Breath, Smile, High
Hopes and Comfortably Numb. Definitely not to be missed, especially if
you've not been fortunate enough to see him live.
Tickets for David's Big Screen Concerts
"One Night Only" show on May 16th go on sale today. This will be a
special version of the BBC recording from London's Mermaid Theatre, on
March 7th, tweaked by director David Mallet. It will be shown at Regal
Cinemas across the US - check with your local Regal for details - and
contrary to the information we were given previously, it will ONLY be
on one night - and not shown between May 15th-30th. Apologies for any
confusion - the information we had was from an excellent source, and we
passed it on in good faith.
