This is the first of the three shows that David Gilmour will
be playing over here. The background was the nice church of Santa Croce in
Firenze with a great atmosphere: italians but also lots of tourists who did not
want to miss this unique opportunity. All windows of the flats around the square
were open with people watching the show (did they pay the ticket?).
The show started on time at 9 PM, with still some daylight, but by the time
David introduced the audience to the new album, it was all dark. The show was
very good indeed and the band played very well. David was a kind of
disappointment: he played quite badly during the whole show. If you are familiar
with some guitar technique, you will find out why, by listening to the show. He
played lots of wrong notes. During Shine On Crazy Diamond that was evident. But
the worse had yet to come: his steel guitar was completely out of tune during
his final solo on High Hopes, which was really awful, although maybe of some
more interest for those who owns every single date of the tour. At one point he
switched to the acoustic guitar to end the track. Another good moment was during
'Shine On', where he and Rick started playing the song in an acoustic way, while
all other members of the band were having a glass of Chianti wine in a table
nearby. At one point they started to touch the top of the wine glasses around,
creating a background sound similar to Rick's keyboards.
The setlist was excellent, with the evident peak in Echoes, but with some other
excellent moments: Fat Old Sun and Astronomy Domine (the latter being premiered
in this summer segment of the tour). Many nice selections from The Division
Bell.
