When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
Summer evening birds are calling.
Summer's thunder time of year,
The sound of music in my ears.
Distant bells,
New mown grass smells so sweet.
By the river holding hands,
Roll me up and lay me down.
And if you sit,
Don't make a sound.
Pick your feet up off the ground.
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange,
Sing to me, sing to me.
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
Summer evening birds are calling.
Children's laughter in my ears,
The last sunlight disappears.
And if you sit,
Don't make a sound.
Pick your feet up off the ground.
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange,
Sing to me, sing to me.

Since the invention of the guitar solo, there have only been five solos that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
I had this at a 9. WHAT. WAS. I. THINKING. The solo by itself elevates it to at least a 12

Once "Sing to me" starts repeating, it's time to set aside whatever you're doing for a few minutes and ride the wave of the last half of the song.

Wait for the guitar solo.
I first heard this song on a bootleg in high school and loved it. Threw out the album somewhere along the way, but now it's here on YouTube.

When I was young and (more) naive, I was discussing Roger Waters's The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and asked what I thought was a rhetorical question, "Who would you rather have on guitar, Eric Clapton, a.k.a., God, or David Gilmour?" Although I loved Pink Floyd, I assumed, based just on what I had heard others say, that my friend would answer "Clapton". When he said "Gilmour"... I grew up a little that day and realized to think more for my self and not just parrot what some others had said.
(To give myself a little credit, Clapton pretty much just mimics Gilmour's sound on TP&CoH, so Eric and David were probably interchangeable on the album really.)
Gilmour is my favorite guitarist ever. Not the most technically adept, but the most soulful.
I've been asking for William to play "5:01AM" for ages here; it's one of my all-time favorite songs. And I agree that EC does a good job being DG on that RW album, though I'd even say it was better suited for EC considering the theme of that album, a bit snarky and biting and less soulful.
Long Live RP!!

Just as I finished a piece of work and thought I could go and grab some lunch RadioParadise decides to play this song...I'm now stuck to my laptop for a very enjoyable (yet hungry) 6:29 minutes...
An easy 10. Never gets old. Thank you David.

Pull over to the side of your life just to listen to the solo.... Seems to be the entrance hymn to heaven ...

Epic touchstone on how to structure a rock solo.
That solo...the front end of the song isn't anything special, then it catches its breath and launches into a magical realm. And this was done live, which makes it that much more incredible. It's definitely something to stop and listen to whenever it comes on.

Classic guitar god performance by the man himself. Reference standard for the genre. Doesn't get any better.

If Clapton was referred to as the god of rock and roll, this man Gilmour is his twin brother!!

Hearing this song, in any version, can always grab my heart and make me catch my breath... And, I can never forget how, when I was still just a lad of 18 -- my head was like, floating in the breeze, man -- TFG told me how he recharged and re-booted every Sunday, especially after our usual wild all-nighters and two-day parties every Friday and Saturday: "I lounge around, listening to old Pink Floyd...'Fat Old Sun'...try it! Does the soul a world of good, brother!" How true! As always, is now, and ever shall be, Amen!

I hate when that happens.
I remember this night well. Dave wasn't feeling well and I had to sit in for him on guitar (backstage of course, while he went through the motions in the spotlight) . . . . and I still haven't been credited for my solo on Comfortably Numb.
I hate when that happens.

Same for me, plus I've FINALLY decided that DG is my favorite Rock guitarist to listen to; used to be Eric Clapton and well, I seem to enjoy David's playing so much more, esp. as I've gotten older. Brilliance and awe inspiring for sure. PEACE and Long Live RP!!
Clapton could never play this.

Whoever is on bass is laying a heavy foundation for this solo.
The hammond is beautiful filling.
Gilmour's icing is superb.
Somehow my analogy went from a building to a cake, but this is awesome.

Do enjoy this every time! (I think that solo is called being "in the zone!")
Fat Old Sun is definitely not one of my favorite PF songs, but the guitar solo in that live version is amazing
I love the outro solo. Less modulation that David typically uses during a solo, and I think it's a good thing here.

Good Lord, I had this as a 7 just out of respect for one of my favorite artists. That was before I heard the solo at the end. Make that a 9.

Working late in the office (9:30PM).
Cranked it up in anticipation of that solo!!!!!
And then turned it up some more!!!!!
I will never tire of this performance.
I hope the cleaning crew likes Pink Floyd.

Today, BillG paired the 'sounds-like-Fearless' track by The Charlatans with this. I'd almost call that sneaky if it weren't Bill's m.o. (And a great m.o. to have) - Long Live RP and the brilliant segues!!
Brilliant meld from 2 geniuses who wrote their music 250 yrs apart. JS Bach prelude (Hedges) and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)

Wonder if anyone ever made a compilation of just the solos, and binned the rest. Probably quite a few.
So much 
Make that guitar sing, David!
Interesting follow up on the song by the Charlatans, containing a most definite homage to Pink Floyd's FEARLESS.

why not ply the echoes version of this album (with rick wright!) - it is even better than the PF original version - and this hasnt been played for month/years now.
This whole Album is a masterpiece. I wish I could have seen it live !
I recommend the 'Deluxe Edition' -- it comes with a DVD of the concert.

Gonna give this a 8 for the solo, but man, I can only take so much of his singing...
2015 show....so he shreds like that at the ripe young age of 69.
Quite superb..!
Beyond Fabulous, has he gotten better with age, I think so.
Just pump up the volume !
I will never support any artist who copies another’s work. I am old school and think “sampling” etc. is total bullshit. A pox upon them all!
Wonderful version. Thank you David.
And Radio Paradise.
Man, this new player with the 'flac' setting is pretty damn awesome. :-)

If you're gonna compare a Gilmour solo, you compare it to every other solo ever played... that wasn't played by David Gilmour.

Yes, but is this Pink Floyd? I think not. And the original on Atom Heart is a more mellow track, more surreal, but I would disagree that it's better. The solo here explodes the air space, and that's a very good thing.
The original, from Atom Heart Mother iirc, is far better. I've heard it said that at some point Pink Floyd became their own tribute band and "Live in Gdansk" certainly fills that bill.

Waw! It's great to hear Gilmour rocking like this! (usually he plays superb lullabies...)

Yeah, all honor to the aged, the survivors, the still alive and kicking with their implanted hips and pace makers tickin!!! Took a beating from Viet Nam and Nixon and kept on keeping on. The poor millenials, I love them, some of my best son and daughters are, but they have not seen the buzz saw come out yet to cut them down like dogs.

Not a fan of Fat Old Floyd but I sure dig this! There is LIFE in it!
OH, HELL YEAH! Loved it then, love it now... Makes me want to get out some old Funky Dung and rattle the walls and windows with it!

This Solo is so much better then the one he did on the original version.
Transition point to the solo pretty well soars. Well above the usual Gilmour Floyd moribund dross. There is actually a little bit of LIFE in it. Perhaps the old fart was on the receiving end of a little ECT?

Jealous, grew up listening and so in awe of them in Iteland in the 70'ies as a schoolboy
I saw Pink Floyd on the Dark Side of the Moon tour, circa 1974.
They opened with the then unreleased "Wish You Were Here" album in its entirety.
After a break they returned with the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
Absurdly awesome.

Tried to buy David Gilmour tickets at 10 this morning, Madison Square Garden sold out in minutes. Only seats left were nosebleeds at over two-hundred and fifty US Dollars per!
Front row was $ 650. but I'd almost pay that to be able to actually see him.
I was able to score 14th row just left of center at the Orpheum in Boston for My Morning Jacket, for only $ 65. each, so I guess I'll console myself with that...

I was lucky, picked up floor seats (~$250 each) for the MSG show. Booked my flight, hotel, and I am ready to see the Guitar God in person. My life will be complete (saw Roger twice on The Wall tour).

Each time i hear this cut, i kick myself for not seeing David at Radio City when he toured...
Love that segue. From Pink Floyd-ish to, um, Pink Floyd almost.
