Answers to
AOL Questions:
8. This is your first album of new material. Why the delay?
9. Do you see this album as more of a personal statement?
10. Is it fundamentally different making music under your
own name rather than under Pink Floyd?
11. The new songs deal with mortality and acceptance. Have
those been big issues for you?
12. Can you tell us
the story behind your Guitar Strap?
13. The Pink Floyd reunion at Live 8 spawned all sorts of
rumours. Was it a farewell performance?
14. Do you feel being a solo artist has made you more upfront
about who you are as a musician? |

Bonus
Feature: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 20/4/2006:
15. On An Island (with Crosby & Nash) [5.01]
16. Wish You Were Here [4.22]
The bonus feature is David Gilmour's appearance on "The Tonight
Show With Jay Leno", one of the more popular shows on NBC
television in the US. 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. 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. |
