re: David Gilmour will do one last tour

I wonder if he has to pay royalties to Waters-written songs

not to play anything Live he shouldn't.

many years ago I met and had a conversation with Randy Owen (lead singer of Alabama).

typically the venues all have basically a blanket license type thing that covers pretty much every song ever to make sure they are covered to legally play any song they want.
that why football, basketball, baseball games can all play whatever they feel like playing during games, etc.

that license covers all music played inside the venue.

so theoretically, Gilmour could go on stage and play Taylor Swift's entire catalogue and not owe her a dime if he wanted to.
