So, what do you think of that, then? ‘Fat Old Sun’ is an interesting choice because, had David not performed it in 2001/2, then I wonder just how many of you would have thought to mention it in 2005/6. I’m sure that many of the real aficionados would have done so, but perhaps not in such high numbers to have given it such a high position in the chart.
The success of David’s recent semi-acoustic shows has undoubtedly played a big part in fan selection. This has been the case with Richard Thompson’s ‘Dimming of the Day’, Bizet’s ‘Je Crois Entendre Encore’ and Syd Barrett’s ‘Terrapin’ – all of which have been suggested by you in considerable numbers. (They actually received more mentions than some so-called Floyd favourites.)
Which also, of course, gives hope to some of the less well-known songs that many people perhaps wouldn’t even think of including in such a list, possibly expecting them to be swamped by repeat calls for The Hits. If David decides to give one of those tracks a dusting down, then who is to say that fans won’t think of that when next asked to list their favourites?
With the range of talented musicians who could possibly be touring with David, anything’s possible. (We will reveal in due course who these musicians will be, but think of those you know to have contributed to ‘On An Island’, as some of them may also be joining David on tour.)
Who knows what rare gems David might chose to unearth? Who expected Syd Barrett’s ‘Dominoes’ or ‘Hushabye Mountain’ from the cult children’s film, ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’? Both of these were mentioned, which is a credit to David’s versatility and imagination, not to mention your passion for good music played well and deep respect for David’s bravery and judgement.
In spite of being best known, naturally, for his part in Pink Floyd, the general consensus is that fans would like to hear David’s solo material – both the new material that we await with baited breath and that from his previous solo albums, 1978’s ‘David Gilmour’ and 1984’s ‘About Face’. For David’s songs to feature so highly in a list of what is, in essence, a ‘Top Pink Floyd Songs… Ever!’ list, is very pleasing indeed.
