The one thing I noticed is the guy is still a master guitarist. There are so many times when I watch some of those 60's guys I say to myself; "Why is that old guy still up there rocking? He is way past his prime.
But Gilmour, now I could not say that about him. although he is as old as I am more or less, the guy is still a great player. I just sat through that video on Blue Ray and 48" Hi Def TV in total awe of that guy and his playing skills. I know I am about half the player I was back in my prime. (Although I am more tasteful and more soulful, my dexterity is about 30% of what it was when I was in my prime practicing like a madman). Not Gilmour, he ain't lost a thing. I admire him all the more for his longevity.
