Alleged sighting of David Gilmour in New York City...

at the Roosevelt Field Mall.
For anyone wondering why this matters, he announced that he's playing 1 show with Roger Waters this tour, randomly, and tonight and tomorrow happen to be the 2 nights Roger Waters is in Uniondale at the Nassau Coliseum.
If you like Pink Floyd, I'd get my ass to NYC if I were you.

I had assumed he would show up in the UK, but if not, at MSG (he didnt).
Nassau makes sense-- it is the site of the last shows in the US that featured both Gilmour and Waters (1980 wall shows)
6/24/08 (MSG1)
6/25/08 (MSG2)
7/1/08 (Beacon Theater -NYC)
10/30/09 (Philly3)
5/18/10 (Newark, NJ)
5/20/10 (MSG1)
5/21/10 (MSG2)
10/18/13 (Brooklyn 1)
10/19/13 (Brooklyn 2)
5/1/16 (MSG 1)
5/2/16 (MSG 2)
3/30/20 (MSG)
As the other poster mentioned, I always thought if he did do it in the States, it would be at Nassau because of the history. I have a hard time believing Mr. Gilmour would be trolling the Long Island malls though. Do you think he'd cause a riot as big as Mr. Bieber's from about a year ago?

Wish me and the wife could hit up a show for less than $500
I've personally driven musicians headlining at Nassau Coliseum over to Roosevelt Field Mall the same day they were doing a show, so it's definitely possible.

Hey Rog, I'm going to pop out to the mall and get an Orange Julius before soundcheck. Can I bring you back something?
Rog: Yeah, go by Hot Topic and get me a Pink Floyd "The Wall" shirt for the show so I look cool

You mean you worked at MSG with musical acts? I had no idea, you never mentioned that before
:roll: Who said MSG?
...and strangely, I recall musicians asking for Taco Bell on a few specific occasions.

You see... that I have trouble believing. Taco Bell was only good if you were stoned off your ass. I just can't see any musician wanting Taco Bell for that reason alone!
LeAnn Rhymes and Bruce Hornsby are the two in particular musicians that wanted Taco Bell.

What did they order? no seriously, Taco bell has some really good fast food, for cheap, not the best, (Taco Bueno was better), but just curious what they wanted off the menu?

I forget what LeAnn wanted. Bruce wanted a chicken quesadilla or chicken something. We got lost in NJ looking for Taco Bell after a show there, and he pointed out a 7-11 type place we were passing as a substitute for that, all the while listening to some dead cassettes I had and he was telling me about his days with the dead. ...in NYC though, I was able to accomplish the Taco Bell mission.

Nice. Bruce seems like a good guy, and pulled the Dead out of a tough spot. Maybe all that grease helps him speed up his playing.
I'll derail the thread a little further, and admit that I worked at Taco Bell in high school. I grew up outside of Calabasas, Ca where a ton of celebrities (and quasi celebrities) live. I distinctly remember Eddie Van Halen coming through the drive through (late 80's), he had ordered a few burritos. Ben Stein too, although I don't remember what he ordered.

When Roger announced this tour I thought about going back to Nassau. But knowing that Roger and David getting together had as good a chance as me winning the Boston Marathon I decided to just go for closer to home shows.
Roberto Clemente.
Will it be tonight instead?
thank you simone.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!
lmao, maybe.....
It's either Gilmour, or Frampton really let himself go.
