The Dean Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E5N62...-0779359?n=5174 Donald Fagen, Morph the Cat A single, H-Town, will be released at the end of January (although one station that streams at 1071thepeak.com is playing it now, I'm told). Buzz surrounding the album is awesome. Fagen will support with a tour...only date released right now is Chicago Theatre March 18th, I think. Rumor he will be in Long Island on March 3rd. Walter Becker also getting ready to release a solo album. Finally, Steely Dan may tour late summer. Could be a great year for music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great spot for a show. 567192[/snapback] Actually, the rumor is he wilol be at the North Fork Theatre at Westbury (formerly, the Westbury Music Fair) on 3/3. Sounds like an odd venue for him...but, I'd go in a minute if I were there. BTW...North Shore Theatre...3/10...Dave Mason and Leon Russell...WOW! http://www.musicfair.com/main.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to answer your really stupid question... The Donald and The Dan do not have opening acts. Who could possibly play to the level their fans demand? Actually...I have a great idea. The Dan (or Fagen) and Van Morrison. Dan and Van...now THAT'S a concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sounding instrumental, with hints of Dark Side and Shine On. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you make a good point. 569612[/snapback] Then why not release a whole song? What is Gilmour trying to hide? Could it be that he knows his market is limited to people who are already fans, and releasing an entire song would only hit his wallet and the wallet of the corporate teat he relies on? David Gilmour doesn't need to make any more money. If he really gave a crap about releasing good material, you know, because he's a musician/artist, he would give it away for free at this point.

Johnny Coli Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dude...why such a stick up your ass about Gilmour? You a Waters guy or something? 569820[/snapback] I hate them both. I won't even get into why record company support for a bloated classic rock musician is ruining music as a whole. I will however question why Gilmour would feel the need to release part of a song. I would think an aging artist with a fading/dwindling fan base would jump at the chance to get his art out there...maybe create a buzz...maybe get some new fans. This song won't ever get radio play. This song won't ever be included in anyone's top ten releases for 2006. No one will be browsing through the CDs at a record store and say "Hmm, I wonder what this David Gilmour fellow sounds like. I think I'll spend $13 on an impulse buy." In fact, not a single person who isn't already a Gilmour fan will ever hear it. So, why not give a few tracks away for free? Why not let the faithfull David Gilmour fans get a little something for free for sticking by him for all these years? The answer is cash, and cash only. I am not commenting on his music, just the thought process by which this generous gift, this left shoe, was tossed out there to be embraced by his thankfull fans.
