Title: Chuck Leavell To Tour With David Gilmour Post by sweetcharmedlife on Jun 9th, 2016 at 7:10am
Tour dates are in June and July. Even more interesting, he mentions Stones activity in September and October.
Chuck Leavell To Join David Gilmour Band For Upcoming Tour Chuck Leavell has been added to Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour‘s backing band for an upcoming European Tour. The run in support of Rattle That Lock begins with a show in Wroclaw, Poland on June 25 where Gilmour and his band will perform with a 30 piece orchestra and ends with two nights in Tienen, Belgium on July 27 – 28. Chuck Leavell wrote a post for his website detailing his connection with Gilmour: I was pleased and surprised to be contacted by David (Gilmour) a couple of months ago asking me if I would be available to tour with him in June and July. My first contact with David was back in 1984 when I was the Musical Director of a show broadcast on MTV called “Guitar Greats”. David was a part of that, and he was amazing. Then a few years later when I was with Eric Clapton, David invited me and some of the other members of the band to his home where we had a memorable night talking about music and life in general. To have him reach out to me now is truly an honor, and I can’t wait to start work with him and the band. My good friend, Greg Phillinganes, who I was honored to work with during some of my Clapton days will also be playing keyboards on the tour and I look forward to “tag teaming” with him again. The timing for this is perfect, as the Stones will gear up again for our “Desert Trip” shows and some other activity in September and October. So this is proving to be an extraordinary year for me! – Chuck Leavell David Gilmour Tour Dates June 25 Saturday Wroclaw, Poland David Gilmour at Freedom Suqare June 27 Monday Vienna, Australia David Gilmour at Schoenbrunn June 28 Tuesday Vienna, Australia David Gilmour at Schoenbrunn July 2 Saturday Rome, Italy David Gilmour at Auditorium Massimo July 3 Sunday Rome, Italy David Gilmour at Auditorium Massimo July 7 Thursday Pompei, Italy David Gilmour at Anfiteatro di Pompeii July 8 Friday Pompei, Italy David Gilmour at Anfiteatro di Pompeii July 10 Sunday Verona, Italy David Gilmour at Arena Di Verona July 11 Monday Verona, Italy David Gilmour at Arena Di Verona July 14 Thursday Stuttgart, Germany David Gilmour at Schlossplatz July 16 Saturday Chantilly, France David Gilmour at Chateau De Chantilly July 18 Monday Weisbaden, Germany David Gilmour at Bowling Green July 20 Wednesday Nimes, France David Gilmour at Arenes De Nimes July 21 Thursday Nimes, France David Gilmour at Arenes De Nimes July 23 Saturday Arc-et-Senans, France David Gilmour at Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans July 27 Wednesday Tienen, Belgium David Gilmour at Grote Markt July 28 Thursday Tienen, Belgium David Gilmour at Grote Markt |

Gilmour's "Fat Old Sun" solo from the Gdansk box set is punch-in-the-face incredible.

That is Gilmour's wife Polly Samson, who writes the lyric's for most of his songs these days, Greg Phillinganes is playing organ on this tour. Chuck sings the first verse of Comfotably Numb and does a great job on the whole show! The first show of this leg of the tour in Poland was broadcast on Polish TV, I have watched it several times, it is amazing!
