No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my
friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous
input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful
voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd
sound.
I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my
voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on
'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full
flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which
he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch
the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked.
In our middle years,
for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The
Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the
audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and
it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise
to him, (though not to the rest of us).
Like Rick, I don't find it easy to
express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.
David Gilmour, Monday 15th September 2008
Før Wrights død, var det aftalt at Gilmour og Wright skulle optræde på Jools Hollands show med lidt numre fra Gilmour Gdansk koncert. Det nåede Wright ikke, men Gilmour mødte stadig op til dette show og spillede istedet et gammelt Floyd nummer skrevet af Wright: Remember a day.
Det ligger her på Tuben og så kan du også finde det i en lidt anderledes version på Gilmours egen hjemmeside under hans Gdansk sektion.
