caption_attribution_description: English: David Gilmour's 'Fender Telecaster 52V', a 1982 reissue of the 1952 original; displayed at the Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Gilmour used this "extensively" on Pink Floyd's 1987-1989 and 1994 tours, as well as at the 2007 tribute concert at the Barbican, and the 'Later... with Jools Holland' tribute to Richard Wright.
context_page_description: "Remember a Day" is a song by the British psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, written and sung by their keyboardist Richard Wright, appearing on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets. It was performed by Pink Floyd only once, as an encore in May 1968; it was subsequently performed by David Gilmour in September 2008 in memory of Wright, who had recently died of cancer, on Later... with Jools Holland, and by Nick Mason during his Saucerful of Secrets tour. The dreamy, poetic lyrics are about nostalgia for the lost paradise of early childhood.
context_section_description: On 23 September 2008, David Gilmour performed the song on a live broadcast of Later... with Jools Holland on BBC Two as a tribute to Rick Wright, who had died eight days earlier. In an interview later in the show, Gilmour said that Wright had intended to perform with him that day, but had sent Gilmour an SMS message a couple of weeks before his death to advise him that he would not be well enough to attend. This was the first live performance of the song since 1968 by any member of the band, although none of the original lineup that recorded the song took part in the performance. Gilmour's band comprised Phil Manzanera, Guy Pratt, Jon Carin and Steve DiStanislao.
