DAVID GILMOUR info
David Gilmour
(vocals, guitar)
He wasn't a founder member
of the band, but he appears in all except the first album. His solos are
usually very beautiful. Apart from being a member of Pink Floyd, he has
also played in many albums as a guest, and he also has made his own solo
albums. As I'm sure there'll be many sites covering the complete careers
of the Pink Floyd members, I just mention a few of these credits.
A special appearance is in
famous festival Live Aid, on July 13rd, 1985, where he plays in Bryan Ferry
special band that day (most of them appear in Ferry's album Boys
and Girls):

Jimmy Maelen (percussion)

On December 28th, 1991, it was held the Amnesty International
30th Anniversary Concert. David Gilmour was the musical director, and he
got some of his friends and colleagues for the band. They backed Tom Jones
and Spinal Tap. The lineup was:
David Gilmour (guitar)
Tim Renwick (guitar, vocals)
Pino Palladino (bass)
Jon
Carin (keyboards, vocals)
Stuart Brooks (trumpet)
Jody Linscott (percussion)
Gary
Wallis (drums)

Most of them were known to David Gilmour (some were
part of Pink Floyd live band; he had played with Jody Linscott in Deep
End; and some others appear in Sam Brown solo albums, along with David).
On October 11th, 1992, there is another benefit
event, at the Chelsea Arts Ball, with a stellar lineup, very close to Pink
Floyd lineup:
David Gilmour (guitar)
Tim Renwick (guitar, vocals)
Guy Pratt (bass)
Jon
Carin (keyboards, vocals)
Jody Linscott (percussion)
Gary
Wallis (drums)
Sam Brown (vocals)
Some guests appearing in the gig were Rick
Wright & Nick Mason, plus Tom Jones,
Hugh Cornwell (from The Stranglers), Mica Paris, Elvis Costello and others.
In June 1996, The Who (credited as "Townsend, Entwistle,
Daltrey present Quadrophenia") were to play a charity gig for the Quadrophenia
celebration, but Pete Townsend gets injured, being unable to play electric
guitar, so Roger Daltrey calls Geoff Whitehorn
to play with them during June and July.

After the success, they plan to make a short US tour
in July 1996, without David Gilmour, and including Billy Idol.
The last thing I've heard from David Gilmour has
been appearing in the live concert that Paul McCartney played at The Cavern.
