    My wife and I saw pink Floyd earls Court 94. Sadly my wife has passed on now. The thought of her and watching the world moving so fast past this guy brings tears to my eyes.

    I'm halfway through and between the images of the fast paced crowd and those doubledecker buses flashing by and that ambulance's siren laying a remarkable track, this is recording gold!
    Phenominal talent although wasn't expecting a background track but hey, it's Pink Floyd.
    In the 1970's they would've had to stop traffic there would've been so many people standing and watching.
    Bravo!

    All the sound engineers and mixers needed to make Gilmour and Knopfler sound the way they do, and this dude does it all by himself, with a pretty modest guitar, and very little sound equipment. I've seen quite a few of the street guitarists on youtube, and no doubt they are some of the greatest guitarists out there.

Another "critic" commented that he "over plays" sometimes--perhaps that is also tru, but I would have to believe that he is simply trying to make people notice his performances and his expertise while he is playing in an arena where people seem to be completely ignorant of what he is doing.
