Night Five: Frankfurt
David and his band return to Germany tonight for a show in Frankfurt.
As always, we want to hear all the details, so do let us know your thoughts if you were lucky enough to be there.
If you don’t want to know which songs were performed, please don’t read the following comments because the setlist will no doubt be revealed.
If you’re in the UK or can access the UK’s Channel 4, you can see the ’On An Island’ video tonight, plus the EPK, both of which we have been showing on the site for some time. That’s on at 1:40AM UK time.
If you don’t receive Channel 4, then you can still see both EPK and video here.
Was at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt for the concert this weekend.
Truly the strongest musical experience of my life. I CRIED during the first minutes of Echoes just because it was so darn good, and that I was so extremely happy to finally hear that formidable song in it´s wholeness, performed even better that on the Meddle-album.
Thanks, I will never forget that evening.
Fellow Tomas Valent told everything, so I add just a word or two — thank you! Thank you for the happiest day of our lives. And by the way, Echoes were absolutely stunning!
When the first part of Echoes was getting to the fortissimo, I thought it would be the end of the song but my fear was useless, you started the funky part and that moment — knowing you would play it all and play it really GOOD — really kicked my ass!
Thank you very much for the fantastic night on Saturday.
I’m only 17 and I’ve always begrudged my father who has seen Pink Floyd live in Prague in 1994. I love the Pusle video so much and it was such a pleasure for me to see almost the same instrumentation in Frankfurt.
I’ve sat in the second row and it was like Wowww, seeing David only about seven meters in front of me. I realised it only yesterday.
I didn’t mind that they had to start Take A Breath and Wot’s… Uh the Deal again, quite the contrary. For me, it makes this great show a bit more human and I found it a little bit funny, too.
The sound was great, every note sounds like on the CD. And the light show… no comment. It’s impossible for me to choose my favourite song because they were all so good.
Anyway, I know that I will never forget this evening and this great venue in my life.
thank you once more, it was really worth the long way from Saxony
One day hope to see David live again
unforgetable evening in Frankfurt
This was one of the best concerts, I’ve ever seen!
After the show, we were so impressed, that no one could say one word for half an hour!
My biggest respekt to the soundmixer, which managed – very shortly – the problems at the beginning!
Thank you David & Co for this experience…
just make a mistake with Geat Gig in the Sky…. Sorry about this confusion!!!
Echoes was indeed the opening song for both the Cleveland and Philly shows in 1987.
I love the way David is playing ever so slightly with the setlist , e.g. swapping out Dominoes for Fat Old Sun for Paris show.

What a night. Many Thanks to Mr. Gilmour, Mr. Wright and his friends. Wow, the show was amazing in “Alte Oper” Frankfurt. My highlight of the concert? Well, “Echoes”!!! It was such a pleasure to see this “old man(s)” on stage.
Thank you for a very special evening!
I hope that i can see Pink Floyd complete everyone!
Thank you David for this great night at the „Alte Oper“ in frankfurt. My father and I enjoyed your show very well. We had been waiting for so long to see you playing live. For us a dream came true. Echoes an Comfortably Numb were – for me – the highlights of the show. But: The concert was from the first until the last song a great experience. Wonderful. Thank you so much and please think about playing with Pink Floyd again…
Hey David thanks for all the wonderful years of music you have provided as a member of Pink Floyd and a solo artist. I’m going to the Rosmont show and can hardly wait. I saw Pink Floyd 3 times in 1994 in Europe. I was stationed in Germany and was able to catch the tour. It was great!!! I am looking forward to this upcoming show and wish you well on all other tours, records and future projects.
David and gang: Thanks for a wonderful evening in Frankfurt. I was very impressed with the new CD, and congratulate you all. Very soothing, interesting twists and turns that make you the greatest. The genius resurfaces. As for the second half, well, I sang my head off, and I don’t believe I stopped smiling until sometime the next morning. So thanks for the memories, I hope to see you again. Auf Wiedersehen. Bill aus Kiedrich.

Hi,
I wanted to say thank you to David and his band. I have seen his concerts in Dortmund, Hamburg and Frankfurt and those were the best concerts I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for these wonderful memories. I think the setlists were very well chosen, and in my opinion it was a great decision to play the full “On an island” album. I hope I can see you again.
Greetings
Carsten
