David Gilmour Kicks Off South American Tour

On Friday night, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour kicked off a South American Tour with the first of two performances at Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gilmour focused on material from his most recent solo albums with a heaping helping of Pink Floyd classics.

The guitarist and his band played nearly the same setlist at each of the two shows in Sao Paulo. On Saturday, Gilmour added Pink Floyd’s “Coming Back To Life” to his second set, the only difference between the two setlists. Both shows were split into two sets with Pink Floyd classics “Wish You Were Here,” “Money” and “Us & Them” among the songs in the first set as well as solo cuts such as “5 A.M.,” “A Boat Lies Waiting” and “In Any Tongue.”

Both second sets in Brazil started with “Astronomy Domine,” “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Fat Old Sun.” Other tunes performed in each second set were “On An Island,” “The Girl In The Yellow Dress,” “Today,” “Sorrow” and “Run Like Hell.” David Gilmour’s shows on Friday and Saturday came to a close with an encore of “Time,” “Breathe (Reprise)” and “Comfortably Numb.” The tour continues tonight in Curitiba, Brazil.
