I wonder why he always plays that one? I think Corporal Clegg should get more outings! :lol:

I'm amazed by the quality of the videos. I've always thought that the Procol Harum song was boring, but Gilmour's guitar work brings a little more life to it. It's also nice to hear him sing "Wish You Were Here" after so long. He still has that voice. :)

I refuse to listen to yet another version of WYWH...come on!

A Whiter Shade Of Pale has always sounded to me like boring church music. The kind of music they play while people wait in line to get a byte of the flesh of Jesus.

Doesn't he have like 3 solo albums full of songs he could play instead? Wonder why he never plays those... :D

[-D-] Whiter Shade of Pale. Ruined by Gilmour piddling about on his guitar. <.8.> Stop pissing about with such a classic song. It is one song that should never be played different. It might be because I remember very well when it was first released. I never want to hear this version again. I'll go back to the original.
