A venue is a place where you can experience a concert or something.

Excellent experience, Crosby and Nash were doing backing vocals and Echoes (my favourite Floyd song) sounded superb! I certainly wouldn't mind watching him again.

Have you seen him live? Care to share your memories?
Keith, I regret to say that I have not yet seen my hero in concert. I hope and pray everyday that he will release a new album soon. However, my dad had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd during their MLOR tour in the late 80's and said it was quite an amazing experience for him. There's something else I would like to say. I'm sorry about the topic I started about the secret David Gilmour/Roger Waters diaries. I wasn't meaning to mock either of them, especially Gilmour's weight. Like I said, David is my hero and I would never say or do anything to insult him in anyway. Same with Waters (seeing him in November :D). I

First time I saw David Gilmour Live (on his own) was in 1984 in France, in Paris
Then the Meltdown and the 2002 tour ( Paris and London, and of course 2006, France and RAH, but for me one of the best one was in Vienne in July 2006. Will never forget this gig.
Of course I saw him with Pink Floyd before that.

witnessing Echoes for the first time at the Royal Albert Hall 30th May 2006 show one epic moment same with entire 2nd set that night
But the best was being at the Mermaid Theatre gig 3rd row eye level pretty much with David Gilmour and hearing the amazing version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Comfortably Numb i had a few tears in my eyes during them songs. Too top that amazing everyone sung Happy Birthday too David which too him by suprise. Afterwards i was lucky enough too David Polly, Jon Carin, Dick Parry Guy Pratt after the show which was unexpected.

YES!!!

How good was the sound in the Armadillo?

That was the greatest night of my life. First time seeing him live, so when the heart beat of Breathe begun and you saw Gilmours outline as he came out and sat at his pedal steel I can honestly say its as excited as i've ever been.

Saw him a few days later in his first Albert Hall show too (the one where Bowie appeared). Both gigs well worth the money, sensational live performances and unforgettable experiences.

Keith did you buy Albert Hall tickets before they announced the Manchester date?

Me and my mate did this with Glasgow, bought Albert Hall tickets before he announced he was playing Glasgow. I'm Gilmour daft though so I just went to both shows :D

I think so, yes. I think this was some time before the 2006 tour from memory. 2004?
