Гилмор саркастически высказался о желании Роджера и Ника Мэйсона исполнить Dark Side Of The Moon. Однако, не видит ничего в этом предрассудительного...

David Gilmour is not offended that fellow Pink Floyd alumni Roger Waters and Nick Mason are planning to play a version of the band's classic Dark Side Of The Moon album in concert this summer.
"Well, jolly good luck to them," said Gilmour, without a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Yeah, yeah, it's fine. It's a free world. There is room for everyone. I just want to enjoy doing what I'm doing and let them enjoy what they're doing. Everyone should have freedom to do what they want to do, as much as is reasonably possible and it isn't harmful to other people."
Still, some Pink Floyd fans might be of the opinion that Waters, who has had a stormy relationship with Gilmour over the past 20 years, should not be undertaking Dark Side Of The Moon without Gilmour.
"Hey, we've played Dark Side Of The Moon without Roger," said Gilmour, referring to the years when Gilmour carried on with Pink Floyd after Waters left the group.
"Roger wrote all the words and a fair bit of the music on Dark Side Of The Moon. So there's absolutely no reason at all why he shouldn't go and play it. In fact, he asked recently if we would let him use the original film we used with the show, and we said, 'Fine, go ahead.' "
And if anyone else out there wants to have a go at Dark Side Of The Moon, be Gilmour's guest.
"Any bar band in the world can play Dark Side Of The Moon if they want to," Gilmour said.
An average bar band wouldn't necessarily play it well, though.
"That is a different issue," Gilmour said.
