In the end it seems that it's just a acoustic version of the record performed by Roger Waters and his actual live band.
Pretty funny to see the whole outcrying revolving around it when Pink Floyd itself did just doing another cash grab box set.

The strings are the real winner on DSOTM Redux. Some killer writing and playing from Gabe Noel.
The rest... eh, I dunno. It's a bit one note and easy-listening. Say what you want about RW doing this whole concept, but he could have done something actually challenging with it instead of reading letters over a muted and crescendo-less rendition of Great Gig.
Speaking of Dark Side, it's on Apple Music with a Dolby Atmos mix, sounds pretty open so far. The animated album art is a nice touch as well.
Nick Mason turns 80 years old tomorrow

David Gilmour London shows announced! What do we think the chances are he'll come to the US at some point? I read that he's not very keen on touring these days. The site says "These will be the only UK dates" which could imply there are plans for other dates?
If there are any more shows, they're probably going to be very limited both in size and in number of cities visited. Maybe some other, shorter theatre residencies around November? I caught one of his two arena shows in Toronto back in 2016, which was awesome, but I really don't see any desire on his part to go back to that scale of touring. Given his recent comments about lack of enthusiasm for playing the classic 70s Floyd stuff, he wouldn't be able to please that size of crowd anyhow.
David certainly does not make it easy to see him live.
On top of touring roughly once in every 10 years, his current schedule looks like this:
Sep 27 - Oct 3 -- 6 shows in Rome, Italy (the only shows in mainland Europe)
Oct 9 - 15 -- 6 shows at Royal Albert Hall, London, UK (the only shows in UK)
...that's it. I didn't have my hopes up anyway, but this is his shortest tour ever (and will remain so even if he adds a couple more residencies like this for NY/LA areas in US, if any)
I got three tickets for Royal Albert Hall during the presale. £150 each and we're up in the gods...I mean, I can afford it (and justify it as a birthday gift for my dad) but at this point he is only playing to rich people. Which is horrible.
