COMMENTS

It is worth noting that the six shows at London's Royal Albert Hall are the entirety of his UK performances this time around. We suspect there could be dates elsewhere announced in due course.

Tickets for this concert go on sale in two stages. Fans in the UK/Ireland pre-ordering Luck and Strange from the official David Gilmour UK Album Store will get first access to tickets, via an exclusive ticket pre-sale on Thursday 9th May through Ticketmaster UK. If you have ordered from elsewhere, there IS, however, a "No purchase necessary" option you can select at David's store to get the pre-sale code without having to cancel your existing order.

The window to qualify for the pre-sale ends at 3pm UK on Wednesday, May 8th, with all existing pre-orders from the official David Gilmour UK Album Store also eligible. Pre-sale codes will be sent out later that day.

Tickets will then go on general sale at 10am UK on Friday, May 10th, through this link at Ticketmaster UK. We are sure that demand will be high for these special concerts. Our thanks to Andy Witt for the ticket scan shown to the right.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!

Night eight of the tour (if you ignore the two dress rehearsals conducted in Brighton, on the south coast of England, last month), and the second of six nights in London. The Royal Albert Hall has long been a favourite of David Gilmour, and it is proving to be a great place to see him play again.

The set list from the later Rome shows, and the first night in London the previous evening, was unchanged (the song Sings from the new album, Luck and Strange, was added during the Italian dates). The performance throughout apparently was superb, and proved an audio and visual treat!

We mentioned this in the first show review, but repeat it again here: for those interested, there were no major differences with the merchandise on offer - the normal range of t-shirts, hoodies and other accessories including tour programme. Sometimes for the Royal Albert Hall, there's been a special poster, but all there is are the t-shirts and hoodies marked as from the London shows (as seen in the previous shows in Brighton and Rome). We hear though that the merchandise stall was swamped with people snapping things up eagerly so would suggest those who want to get something to commemorate the show, should buy before the concert, and not after, to reduce the chance of disappointment.

We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!

I said in the taxi home I could die a happy man. What an incredible night! You know when you expect a high bar and more than often leave feeling slightly disappointed. Nothing of that. The bar has been raised to new heights. Just incredible. I feel privileged to have been there.
