I've seen EC perform Higher Wire 10+ times; none of the youtube clips do it justice, but here it is ...

That version of Sweet Jane is the absolute best!

That version of Sweet Jane is the absolute best!

unless of course you are listening to this thoroughly cocaine fueled version from 1974....

well since you asked......

saw him in late 80s looking similar to this and several in mid 2000s. Always around 20 minutes long of every instrument solo along with audience participation. Amazing every time.

I was at this one.....maybe my best concert ever from start to finish.

While I have Pink Floyd in my CD collection and respect them as rock legends, they MIGHT make it into my Top25 favorite acts... but this track, and particularly this performance - earns my nod as among the best ever

For me, it puts David Gilmour on the top shelf with Neil Young as far as raw and deep musical/lyrical talent and importance

I was at this one, took me back to summer of ‘87 when I listened to this album endlessly...

Thanks for posting. I have a man crush on David Gilmour. He is so talented.

here is another

The video quality is poor but Gilmour's solo in this version of Fat Old Sun is sublime

 

[FightOnState]

Best performance of any song anywhere. No rhythm section at all here. They are all doing their own thing. And it works perfectly.

I don’t know if I ever even heard the studio version:

Thanks for posting ... great performance and with Richard Wright

 

[berklion]

A lot of energy at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. At about 1:25, Pete windmills and hits Moon's mic stand. The mic hits moon right between the eyes.

I love Floyd and love this song from what is probably an under-appreciated album. I should point out though that the lyrics are written by Gilmour’s wife.
Wearing the Inside Out from the same album and sung by Rick Wright is a hidden gem.

That’s fantastic. I think this is probably the best performance/entrance I ever saw on Letterman. I love this:

DG must have a thing for talented songwriters/ lyricists, recall he was instrumental in mentoring Kate Bush (and it was more than a professional relationship)

Joni Mitchell just as her career was starting...

 

[psu_1294]

I'm not a huge Madonna fan, but this performance really got me. I think she is 49 at this point!

I saw them play Midnight Rambler live at The Roseland Ballroom in NYC in 2002. With only 2,000 people in the joint, I thought we were going to being the roof down.
