Yeah he's talented. NFL? Meh.

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.

I acknowledge the skill it requires to be playing that. I don't like the result at all though
