Watch David Gilmour’s New Live Video For ‘The Piper’s Call’
David Gilmour has shared a new video of The Piper’s Call, which you can watch below.
The Piper’s Call was the first single to be taken from Gilmour’s chart-topping album Luck And Strange, and its new live video was recorded at The Brighton Centre, Circus Maximus in Rome, the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York and edited together by Gilmour, Charlie Andrew and Matt Glasbey to form one seamless track.

“On the Luck And Strange tour, I played with the best band I’ve ever had,” Gilmour reflected. “Their personalities, playing abilities and enthusiasm for my new music have made for a fabulous experience for Polly and me. Romany’s voice really stands out and has its own particular character, she brings a sense of mischief and fun to the live performance, which I think we needed. Thank you to everyone who attended the shows in Europe and America and thank you for buying Luck And Strange. I hope you found as much enjoyment in the music as we did while performing it.”
The Luck And Strange tour began with two sold-out warm-up shows at the Brighton Centre before moving to Circus Maximus in Rome for six sold-out nights, followed by the same about at London’s Royal Albert Hall before moving Stateside for sold-out evenings at the Intuit Dome and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles before concluding with five sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Earlier this year, Luck And Strange became the third Gilmour solo album to top the UK charts, following 2006’s On An Island and 2015’s Rattle That Lock. The legendary musician has also scored six number one albums in the UK with Pink Floyd.
Prog magazine’s review of the record said “As a fan, you always hope there’ll be more from your favourite artists, but, as the theme of this album explores, time doesn’t always work that way. Luck And Strange would stand as a fitting epitaph to his not inconsiderable talent. It’s a delight of an album.
