That gave me shivers. Magnificent, not least because the song has never been performed live before.

What a beautiful tribute to a brilliant talent and keyboard player. I have loved Pink Floyd since 1969, amazed by their beautiful music, from Cymbeline to The Wall. I was truly saddened to hear or Mr. Wright's passing. I will miss him. I was just thinking recently about Rick Wright, seeing Pink Floyd at The Music Hall in Boston, and taking a photo of him sitting at his keyboard... Thank you Dave Gilmore for such a beautiful song in memory of your bandmate. My tears are a tribute to him and your music. I hope he is playing with the greats...
