Pink Floyd David Gilmour Marooned The 50th Anniversary Fender Stratocaster

This was amazing. He used the #001 Strat for this. All three of the songs played were the full, all-electric versions, and this was no exception. The entire track was performed, with Dave showing that he is still the master of the Digitech whammy pedal . I'm a guitarist so I noticed that #001 was giving him a bit of a problem around frets 18-20, on the high e and B strings: his full tone bends weren't quite reaching the correct pitch, but then again its not surprising that a 50 year old guitar would have a few deadspots here and there. David is such a genius that you have to be a neurotic guitarist like me to spot it anyway...he just carried on playing flawlessly, as usual. We heard the full 5/6 minute version of the song. Incredible.
