Tony Levin played bass guitar only on the studio recording. Guy Pratt played bass on the concert tour. He incidentally married Gala Wright, daughter of Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright, in 1996.
The live shows have a different lineup of musicians: Jon Carin (Keyboards, Vocals), Tim Renwick (Guitars, Vocals), Guy Pratt (Bass, Vocals), Gary Wallis (Percussion), Scott Page (Saxophones, Guitar), Margret Taylor (Backing Vocals), Rachel Fury (Backing Vocals) and Durga McBroom (Backing Vocals).
Guy Pratt on bass here, he is the main bass player Gilmour has used for Pink Floyd tours through the years. Also original PF member Nick Mason on drums.
It's about not turning away from those in need, all around us. "Just a world that we all must share, not enough just to stand and stare." A beautiful song. Guy Pratt on bass.
There is a fan video called "The Invisibles" that compliments this tune....It is about the plight of the homeless and the way they are overlooked in society....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RAogHx7Sl8k.html
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd live performances! I just love the vocals and instrumentals on this! David Gilmour's solo is one of my favorites, even better than the studio version, in my opinion. The bass player in this video is Guy Pratt, who has toured with Pink Floyd and David Gilmour solo since 1987. (He has also toured with Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason's band, Saucerful of Secrets' and is currently touring with David Gilmour as he promotes his new solo album, 'Luck & Strange').
That is Guy Pratt on the bass. Did a lot of work for pink floyd live after Roger left the band. He currently plays with Nick Mason with saucer full of secrets. An homage to early pink folyd material
First big album without Roger Waters, who tried to finish Pink Floyd in 1983 (followed by some lawsuits). Suggestion from this album: "Sorrow" (1987), live version from "Pulse" (1994) concert.
I don't know if you have heard any Colonel Les Claypool and the Fabulous Flying Frog Brigade but there are several pink floyd covers that you would likely enjoy, like have a cigar (with that claypool bass)
Yes, well Roger became increasingly overbearing and dictatorial during The Wall, and firing Richard was one of his megalomanicial acts. There was a synergy of brilliant music and lyrics with Water's lyrical genius prior to the split. But most of the "music" or musicality arose from Gilmour and Wright as evidenced by their works after Roger left. Sadly Richard passed in 2008, but David is going strong and has a new album out last month, which in his words is the best work he'd done since Dark Side of the Moon. And he's on tour right now with the new album and old Floyd tunes. Pretty damn good for being 78 years young! David's wife Polly who is a successful novelist, has written later Pink Floyd and David's solo lyrics since after this album. David usually will not comment on Roger or the split, or The Wall when asked. Until recently when Roger attacked Polly and her lyrics, then David let loose somewhat. David's new album is most worth a listen, and in the "making of" video he explains his evolution "Well you know I started off in a pop group, and I found myself in a position of leading that group - not ever a position I was hoping for, or looking forward to - being a solo artist - not what I really asked for, I've always preferred being a part of something - and this album feels closer to that than anything I've had in all these years" His quote is near the end of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EckHimWp9NI.html ( David Gilmour - The Making of Luck and Strange )
