Sky Arts are massive fans and they are regulars. First time I’ve known any act given a full evening.

Great band.
The Pulse gig (Earls Court, 1994) is available on You Tube. Almost 2.5 hours long.
And very good it is too.

That gig has the best rendition of Comfortably Numb they've ever done (or certainly that I've heard). Gilmour's ending solo is out of this world.

I have, though only on YouTube, live from The Roundhouse. Guy Pratt on bass/lead vocals, Gary Kemp on guitar wizardry/vocals, Lee Harris on guitar (kinda David Gilmore role with the slide guitar), Nick Mason of course on drums/percussion and a keyboardist who I can't remember his name. All really good to listen to together.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and One of These Days are really good and favourites of mine.

High Hopes is superb with Gilmour's slide guitar solo at the end that just sounds like it's crying/weeping. The whole song and lyrics just sends you on a journey with a wave of emotions.

I’ve seen Pink Floyd a couple of times live, post Roger Waters, and the shows were exceptional. I’ve also seen RW on a few occasions live and again the theatrical presentation was superb.
