David Gilmour - Short And Sweet (with Roy Harper)

[@grelch]

After all these years I finally figured out what Roy said to David at the onset. He said, "Is this my walk on part in the war Dave?" One less mystery in the world to worry about then.

[@Ed9870]

Within the year 1984, the drummer Chris Slade played with Dave Gilmour, Mick Ralphs, Roy Harper, Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers. His agent deserves a medal.

I remember the first time I saw this... over 35 years now. I'd broken my leg, was sitting at home with nothing to do, and got my mom to buy this VHS and Pompeii out of the back of a comic or guitar mag. This video still blows me away, decades later. Awesome.

[@FloydFANdango]

Are you kidding ? About Face was amazing and I'm sure DG is absolutely proud of that amazing output. Holds many special memories for me - What I wouldn't give to go back to '84 !!

[@Schmozo27]

Hats off to Roy Harper

[@1dawnf]

his walk on part in the war.. well said Roy!

[@boonexy]

This is in fantastic quality for 1984

[@Ouroboros54]

Tremenda joya

Quel son magnifique .Je joue sur Télécaster, je n' ai pas le niveau Gilmour .Mais Gilmour joue sur Strato Caster .En 2009, David à été déclaré meilleur guitariste sur Fender de tous les temps .Là à 4:17sec, il sort un son fabuleux , ça ne dure pas longtemps , dommage !!Mais ça c'est du tonnerre .Gilmour , tu es mon Idole depuis 30 ans .Pour moi tu es le plus grand guitariste .Comfortably est excellent également .Gilmour tu es vraiment géniale .Fabien.

[@Coopersboy7]

well he did a live recording for t.v. one time. He performed Theres no way out of here, No way, and So far away I think. You can find the videos by just searching one of the songs "live". Hope this helped!

[@fruitvibes]

These comments about Roger Waters and who knows what are so annoying. This is a great video, enjoy it for what it is. Roger was great, David was great, Pink Floyd was great, that's enough for me.

[@bmalloy1]

I was lucky enough to see this tour, Amazing!! Never forget!

[@buzioldarryl]

Awesome song!

[@philshelby57]

J'adore !!

[@ChrisColaizzo]

Just AWSOME

[@boonexy]

yeah most people just have 0 idea what they are talking about. I find the mindless comments entertaining, attributing "writing" credits to things like lyrics. Roger wrote the lyrics, the band jammed Dark Side into its musical aspects, I just love seeing those comments haha

[@ChinoFavre]

Genius...

[@slinkdot]

Nice clip, great version from his first solo album. Great upload :)

[@Radharc]

Chris Slade, former member of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and future drummer for AC/DC. (not to mention Tom Jones, Gary Numan, Uriah Heep, Asia...)

[@psychodelicrock12]

And Olivia Newton John

[@slinkdot]

@OfficialNeilGard Spot on!

[@dengdeng80]

Cool..that "black strat" still using Kahler Trem

[@davedillon1372]

If I could call Nils Löfgren my "Secret Weapon" in my Band like Neil Young and/or Fred Springsteen, I'd feel pretty good about that Life in Music

[@Thomas1190]

Reminds me of the same thing too! lol

[@davedillon1372]

The RAT- IT'S GLOWING, I THINK. MAYBE IT'S JUST THE MDA & LSD w/Mescaline. I'm not fkg sure anymore. I'm just glad for the remastered release of the '70s LPs from Burgers>>>>> & Vital Parts' LP. What a great Drummer! Shame about the endurance factor. I've a good LIVE 'Short & Sweet' by Dave Gilmore & Roy Harper together up right after 'In The Kingdom'. YEAH!!

[@TheCapitan500]

Intro is similar like Run Like Hell....

[@beelzabubba]

I think that is Chris Slade on drums? Originally from Manford Mann's Earth Band? and then played with The Firm (with Jimmy Page and the singer from Bad Company Paul Rodgers)? And even sat in with AC/DC on one album I believe (Thunderstruck)?

[@basilprabhakar7028]

I think so. Looks like him. He is on fire here. That continuous drum roll left ME exhausted...just watching it...

[@mikema1976]

Ma come si fa a mettere un pollice verso il basso a questo capolavoro?

[@themalf]

Gilmour please someone with a single chord at 0:48

[@DylanNotBob]

The intro of this always reminded me of a rip-off of Run Like Hell..which isn't really surprising, as David obviously wrote that one..Great video to see, however !

[@scottmills1065]

Help ! I need ( to know / have) ---are there any live tracks from 1978 79 of David Gilmour solo era? Did he tour at all for that great, great album? Promo performances, anything ? scottmillscaptainladcom

[@guilhermetonon7267]

like run like hell

[@guilhermetonon7267]

Roy Harper = what happened ?

[@slochd]

any idea who is on keyboards?

[@kengodwin3879]

Name is Rolf something, I think. You can find the whole show and he introduces the whole band. I remember its Jodi Lindscott on percussion, Chris Slade on drums, Mick Ralphs on basss....

[@kengodwin3879]

Nick Mason actually comes on for Comfortably Numb in this show. Think it was the same benefit that Pete Townshend Deep End Live was filmed at. Hammersmith Odeon in London

[@kelvyn_araujo]

Gregg Dechert, former keyboard player from Uriah Heep

[@jimbotbay]

@OfficialNeilGard ... how can a song that was recorded in 1979 be born out of a song that was recorded in 1984? Gilmours the best, but not good enough to time travel.. other way around, dude.

[@kmahoney2002]

Roger Waters was and is highly overrated. The two PF albums released after Waters split were superior to Waters solo material. The evidence is in The Final Cut, Waters pretty much wrote that entire album by itself, and didn't even come close to measuring up to their earlier albums.
