Some more good music

My guitar hero, David Gilmour, toured several years ago with Rick Wright (R.I.P.) from Pink Floyd, and with Ray Manzanera from Roxy Music on guitar and several great guest stars.  I saw him on this tour, and his revival of “Echoes”, one of my favorite songs, which Floyd hadn’t performed live in decades, was the centerpiece of the show—one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen some great artists over the years).

Here’s a video of Gilmour and his band performing “Echoes” beautifully in Gdansk from the same tour I saw him on.

This next song is one of the greatest dance remixes ever done, period.  It’s a Duran Duran song that, unremixed, is okay (perhaps even mediocre), but as remixed by Paul Oakenfold becomes a masterfully produced and interpreted song—listen to it with headphones.

Here’s a great song by the Charlatans, “Blackened Blue Eyes”—not new, but rocks pretty hard.
