Well, last night saw the start of the six concerts that David Gilmour and his band are playing at London's Royal Albert Hall. These follow the six nights in Rome, Italy, which we have covered on the relevant tour pages, and will be doing so again on the London tour pages as the shows take place.

The Royal Albert Hall has long been a favourite of David's, so it should be a good place to see him play in again. This was proved with the opening show last night for which we've already had some pictures and comments through from people who attended, and were thrilled by what they witnessed!

As ever, we will do our best to minimise any spoilers unless you go further down each of the concert pages - the set list is always hidden for obvious sight, and comments about each show will be below that, along with pictures kindly submitted.

We've included one here of a recognisable shadow playing on the rear of the Royal Albert Hall's seating area, courtesy of David Gaylor, which we figured didn't really spoil anything in particular of the show. The other picture, showing the Luck and Strange Man above one of the Royal Albert Hall entrances, was kindly sent by Chris Leith.

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.

Obviously, if you go to any of these shows (or indeed, any others between now and when the tour wraps up next month at New York City's Madison Square Garden) and would like to share your thoughts and/or pictures with the Floyd community, do please get in touch! Thank you.
