Gilmour v Waters

[elms]

Hypothetical question.

If David Gilmour and Roger Waters were playing repsective one night only gigs on the same night, with the same set list which would you go and see and why?

[RVVUNM]

David Gilmore, because he's a nice bloke.

[Podie]

Whichever I could get tickets for...

Who's drumming at these gigs?

[otolith]

I don't know. Maybe depends on the set list. And who Waters has on guitar.

[southendpier]

if they are charging silly prices like they tend too.

neither.

[elms]

Same set list.

Lets presume both bands are the same calibre.

[bean455]

Gilmour.

Just for example, if they're doing The Wall or Animals, I might want to see Waters. If it's DSOTM or WYWH, I might prefer to see Gilmour.

Gilmour, no question.

He is the sound of PF: voice and guitar.

I've seen them both perform a few times, musically Gilmour knocks the spots of Waters, unbelievably polished performance. However for a bit of theatre then Waters is arguably more entertaining.

My favourite Floyd album is Animals, after the bust up Gilmour lost the rights to be able to play that live so if you want to hear the tracks that are absent from his set then go n see Waters.

Got to be David Gilmour. Think it would sound like it's supposed to.

How is that black beauty going Elms?

Nick Mason doing a favour!


Dave Gilmour no question. Roger Waters obviously had a huge part to play in Pink Floyd but Dave Gilmour is much more important both as part of Pink Floyd and as a solo artist. Not the best guitar player but an awesome musician.

Assuming ticket availability and costs for both gigs were no issues, then DG wins hands down every time.

With you on that.

[GavinPearson]

I'd pick Gilmour, but is he even touring these days????

[jmorgan]

Gilmour. Seen Waters on his own, OK I suppose. But Rather watch and listen to Gilmour.

No Gilmour = no Floyd.

Would you have wanted to see the Shadows without Hank?

Or the Beatles without Lennon?

Or the Stones without Jagger?

(Young whippersnappers, feel free to insert your own modern equivalents, such as the Spice Girls without Emma. LOL.)
