PINK FLOYD - GILMORE THRILLS AT AMERICAN TOUR OPENER

Former PINK FLOYD star DAVID GILMOUR kicked off his North American tour in style in New York City last night (04APR06) when rock icons DAVID CROSBY and GRAHAM NASH joined him onstage. The CROSBY, STILLS + NASH stars reprised harmonies they recorded on the title track of Gilmore's hit new album on ON AN ISLAND and then wowed fans by playing with Gilmore on THE BLUE and Pink Floyd classic SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. Meanwhile, Gilmore had a few other treats in store for fans - he set his trademark electric guitar aside for parts of the concert to play banjo and saxophone. As well as performing Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Gilmore performed Floyd classics like WISH YOU WERE HERE and COMFORTABLY NUMB.
