David Gilmour: Thoughts and Tribute to Rick Wright

As you may recall, a couple of weeks ago we lost Richard Wright, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd.

Last week, David Gilmour was scheduled to appear on Later... with Jools Holland to promote his new live recording from the last show of his tour in Gdansk. Due to the recent sad events, the set list and focus changed. As a musical tribute, David performed "Remember A Day", a song written by Rick for the Saucerful of Secrets album that has never been performed live.

Below is an interview early in the show, followed by the performance. The second clip is a more in-depth interview, which gets rather heartbreaking about two minutes in when David stops himself from going down a rather depressing road.
