While performing with Roger and David, what are the differences you see in how they both approach playing the Floyd classics? What are the differences in performing with each of them?

If I were to generalize, because that is all I can do here, I would say with Roger, the emphasis is on the actual song. The nuts and bolts of the message of the song, and the mechanisms of relaying the message to the audience. He tends to break the song down to its molecular level to make sure he is getting the most out of it he can. And how it relates to the theatre of the show as a whole. He wants to know, actively, what everyone is playing and rely on that exact performance night to night. Without any alteration. We are treating the Floyd material reverently, almost as one would treat a classical piece. As close to the original as possible, which is very flattering to how perfectly the original records were produced by the band.

With David, the emphasis is entirely based on vibe or feeling. What will move you on an emotional level. The vessel that carries the song, or the emotional content of the music and the voice. He allows his intuition as a consummate musician to guide him, through his personal taste. He likes it real, if you will. He will only instruct if he hears something that jars him. You are already there because he has chosen you for your taste and there is a level of trust there. And some of the most exciting moments are the dangerous ones where you are allowed to explore the outer reaches of your talent. It is an extremely relaxed, laid back feeling. Like much of the best parts of the music.  

know how to do that easily. With Pink Floyd, there wasn't much synthesizer 'programming' involved on those classic records. Well, slightly less than one would think. It is misleading. The choices are made more in the sense of which instrument is used, rather than knob twiddling. Farfisas, Solinas, Hammonds, Rhodes, Wurlitzers, Pianos have preset sounds. They may have added a Binson echo, wah wah, Leslie speaker, flanger, Uni-Vibe etc. And the synthesizers are fairly easy to imitate if you know what you are doing. David's Lap Steel work itself is like a synthesizer texture at times. Incredible.

But the real story is I missed my beautiful wife and daughter terribly. After a week of not seeing them, I was ready for the sanitarium.
