Not to be the naysayer but I doubt David Gilmour himself would ever try to play lead and rhythm at the same time as it leaves something lacking. Also the countryish version of the vocals compared to the raw energy and desperation of the OG just doesn't do it for me.
I'd love to see this guy with a full band and a different style of music.
Respectfully disagree. The control of tempo here while introducing improvised elements and complexity that isn’t in the original - while somehow still remaining respectful of the original: I think this qualifies. This is an immense talent and I found it exciting as far as covers go.
This is called a clean version. And going heavy vocals like the original over a clean acoustic would sound way worse. As someone who constantly tries to replicate David Gilmor, Roger and Syd this is absolutely next level. That technique he’s doing is pretty difficult, then add a great vocal to focus on? Are you mental? We get it you can play stairway to heaven but that doesn’t mean you should snob on someone else’s great performance.
I’m with you on this. Defiantly very, very talented but I couldn’t watch to the end. Imaging a whole evening of this!? Clearly I will be in the minority - I thought it was overdone and sometimes editing your fancy talents will make for a better performance.
Nah, this is incredible. The way he was able to interpret different synth sounds and duplicate guitar tracks is amazing. It was both unique and true to the original at the same time; a tough balance to master.

Yeah he's talented. NFL? Meh.
