David Gilmour - There's No Way Out Of Here 1978

[@SilverTounge85]

Not many fans knows this, but most of the backing band in this video and the other 1978 promo videos, are David's close friends and his brother, all from David's pre-Pink Floyd band, Joker's Wild.

[@BoltRM]

Wow cool, thx for the info!

[@ManikMekanik]

I knew that :)

[@maksisaev9096]

Why do you fink so ? People who knows more or less musicians of the rock culture love this one. Beautiful.

[@420frannie]

I could say I knew that but I didn't. Thanks, David Gilmour is just Phenomenal!

[@marciahoy]

Not sure if it's true, but I heard that Katie Sagal (Peg from the Bundys) is one of the background singers.

[@davidnotter8542]

One of the very finest guitarist the world has ever known.

[@sharpestjim]

Absolutely.

[@jimsinger2521]

Great voice too

[@kellyross1929]

I still think David is the best guitarist in the World.

i totally agree. i always say hes the best living guitarist!!! of course hendrix is the best but dave is my favorite

As a avid pink Floyd fan for 60 years, this song that David did without his band,is just beautiful

[@LoneLee2022]

What band?

[@tomesler6881]

He plays guitar like no one else. I could listen to him all day

[@eddardmulligan]

I would kill to hear Gilmour play his first solo album live!

Best song on that album! BTW has anyone looked cooler than David Gilmour in the 1970's 😎😎

The real sound behind Pink Floyd!!!!

[@Vector_Nectar]

Unicorn? Just kidding...David had produced them, but I was absolutely astonished that my memory hadn't betrayed me that I had heard another version of this masterpiece once as a child during a car ride, as this was about 30 years ago!

Roger Waters is Pink Floyd....

[@eddie3064]

​@@alwaysright3718 NO...Pink Floyd is Gilmour, Waters, Mason, Wright. If you think otherwise, you're not a fan.

[@my3dviews]

​@@alwaysright3718 Without Gilmour, Pink Floyd would never have risen to where they were. The majority of the best Pink Floyd songs had Gilmour singing at least part of the song. His voice and guitar helped make Pink Floyd what it was and is why it continued after Water left. The Final Cut, in which all the songs were sung by Waters, except one, did not do well. Waters solo concert career was mostly him doing Pink Floyd songs. He never accomplished much with his solo albums. How did that redo of DSOTM without Gilmour turn out? Don't get me wrong, I like Waters. And he of course played a huge part in Pink Floyd's best albums, but he certainly didn't do it alone.

[@AwesomeBeatles]

Another example why Dave is one of the world's best.

[@chrisingram9798]

The chorus from the backup singers is phenomenal, it really drives the sound over the top. I also love how David has to turn to the girls and give the, the nod to start singing.

[@gumper1967]

[@jerrygray8283]

I remember a critic describing his guitar playing as "an economy of notes." So accurate. No wasted notes. No noodling. No fat. Just the good stuff.

[@ladyindica]

He's so good looking it makes you want to cry...and he can sing too....*sigh*

[@halfnelson28]

You said it ! And the best guitarist on the planet ! :)

[@lindadote]

Colette McKinney .......yes and David “aged” really well too. Quite often guys (musicians) who were real “lookers” when they were young, aren’t treated so kindly by the years. The lifestyle catches up with them I guess but many don’t remain handsome in the way DG has. I think David always had a “kindly” face too (gorgeous when he smiled), that never changed either.

I have been a fan of Pink Floyd's since 1970 when I was 12. Saw my first concert on PFloyd's "Animal's" Tour in 1977. To me the Pink Floyd sound and soul is David Gilmour. I know and appreciate the great contribution of Roger Waters, but David has the sound. As far as solo careers, David's music still moves me and I hope to see him again one day.

Had the distinct and shocking pleasure to sit next to him and his family at Nobu in London, maybe 15 years ago. His son got up and said "Ok dad, I'm off..." David growled "Where you going? When will you be home??"....just a normal family having a normal conversation...Ha!

I cant believe that this has been on KZbin for fourteen years and I'm only seeing it today (12/23) for the first time. The Hammersmith Odeon show has been one of my favorite concert videos for decades. This is superb.

David Gilmour covered this song from a band he produced called Unicorn, it was written by band member Ken Baker and from their album 'Too Many Crooks'

[@JamesMeikle-h1z]

Correct so being my favorite song on Daves 1st lp I bought the Unicorn album what a great band Unicorn turned out to be!

[@lindadote]

I bought David’s solo album on release, this was always my favourite track. I didn’t question the composition of the song so was genuinely surprised to learn (40+ years later) that David’s is in fact, a cover of the original from English band Unicorn. Regardless, thanks for sharing the lovely performance, David never disappoints.

[@mrgold1964]

David Gilmour is one of my favorite rock artists. They just don't make music like this anymore. Music now days doesn't have this kind of soul. He is on my list of top 10 guitarists. Sucks to get old (50) cuz that means my favorite rock stars are too.

[@1wirey]

I've always been a big rock fan. Back in the day (70's & 80's) it was all about Page, Beck, Clapton, Blackmore etc. I've since gained much more appreciation for the guitarists who were not necessarily forfront. Though Gilmour is pretty much forfront, there's always been an understated presence about him that I really appreciate. Great vid. Thanks for posting.

I guess I’m a 2nd generation Pink Floyd fan. I discovered them when I was 12 but that would have been 1987 for me. Have loved them from the first song I heard. It did not occur to me to look into band members solo careers until a couple years ago. This is hands down my favorite David Gilmour track. And I am very much enjoying hearing more of his solo work.

My favourite non Pink-Floyd Gilmour song. 😀

[@patmartin7507]

David didn't write the song it was written by Ken Baker from the band UNICORN who David produced and played on 3 albums for.

[@Redguard677]

Its not a Gilmour song

[@my3dviews]

@@Redguard677 It is in the same way that "Twist and Shout" is a Beetles song. In the same way the "Blue Swede Shoes" is an Elvis song. In the same way that "Red Red Wine" is a UB40 song. In the same way that "Pin Ball Wizard" is an Elton John song. In the same way that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is a Cyndi Lauper song. In the same way that "Venus" is a Bananarama song. In the same way that "Nothing Compares to You" is a Sinead O'Connor song. In the same way that "China Girl" is a David Bowie song. In the same way that "Gloria" is a Laura Branigan song. In the same way the "I Love Rock 'N Roll" is a Joan Jett song. Same with "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. But yet people will say that is their favourite x song by y and people accept that, because they sang the song on their album and people know it as "their song" for that reason. Is every Elton John song written by him. Or do we have to say, Favourite Bernie Taupin song? Or co-written by him? So yes. This is my favourite non-Pink Floyd David Gilbour song. Deal with it.

[@rogerlawrencewhite1475]

Fantastic live version, Dave always manages to sound like the album live yet will do subtle things that go above and beyond. The sound quality is actually pretty good . And this song is a rare example of someone doing a cover but doing it better than the original. However Gilmour produced the unicorn album so he knew the song and every nuance of it forward and backwards so it’s not surprising that he knocked it out of the park on both the album as well as live. TY for posting this awesome live version!

I've been looking for a Live recorded video of this tune since the album came out before the internet, and VHS tapes were new. It's my favorite Gilmour tune from his first solo album, and probably ever. It looks like the original musicians from it, as well as the stellar backup female singers. I play it for my musician buds ( I'm a guitarist/singer } and they never heard it before. Who was a cooler guitarist in1978? Nobody. Although Page, Richards, and Townshend still had their swagger, Gilmour was a guitar god and looked it. Thank you for posting!!

[@sueayers7065]

Somebody below commented that David's guitar playing wasn't "complex," ergo meaning that lessened the quality of his playing, and that it was just a bunch of bends. I have heard a lot of guitar playing in my time (I was around in the 60s), and I have heard a lot of "complex" playing that didn't move me. Music is a communication, not a race to the finish or a compilation of fancy fingering. David's playing includes a distinct sound, technical perfection, and emotion, and all of that still move me after 50 years of listening.

David Gilmour is the best guitar player of all time. Rolling Stone magazine need to update their list of 100 greatest guitarists, and put Gilmour closer to #1. He sure as hell deserves to be closer than number 14 they had him listed as. That’s an insult to Gilmour’s talent. I think he’s the best of all time, but Rolling Stone should have him at least In the top 3.
