David Gilmour on DVD

Written by Matt

Monday, 27 October 2003

A couple of Jools Holland "Later" TV show compilation DVDs are coming out next month.

The first, "Jools Holland's Hootenanny" (order now through amazon.co.uk to save on list price) includes BB King's performance of "Eyesight To The Blind" which had David Gilmour on guitar, and Sam Brown on backing vocals.

The other is "Later With Jools Holland - Giants" that includes Paul McCartney playing Brown Eyed Handsome Man, which, we think, includes Gilmour again. If you can confirm this (we're 98% certain) please let us know. This title can again be ordered through amazon.co.uk. Both titles include some great artists and performances - worthwhile for those, let alone David's appearances! Our thanks to Christoph Watz and Kees Nijpels for the head's up!

The book is currently deleted and the rights officially revert back to the authors on November 20th. Glenn is starting the long, exhaustive and timely process of updating the book with Ian, and has made an appeal to the Brain Damage readership.
