"Pink And Velvet" by Berlin, from "Count Three And Pray."

Although I probably love the song more for it's own sake, it doesn't hurt that Gilmour does what he does best in it.

Run Straight Down by Warren Zevon! I think he's in the video, too. From 1989.

i own headline news but you would be hard pressed to pick David on the album.

i have a bootleg of Pete and David live in France 29th January 1986 which isn't too shabby - originally a tv broadcast i think.

Maybe it's because I'm a she and not a he but I don't think Sara's pretty at all. I don't see the appeal.

Sara for sure. Sniffa, its the lips and look in her eye and special little boobies!

I like Give Blood w/Pete and those 80's tunes with Brian Ferry...

I actually think he made a bigger fool of himself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl9OKddQBRg

Though it's not a bad song. It's the lines (or whatever that is) he sings and the guitar, if you could call that thing a guitar.

Paul McCartney's Run Devil Run album is a good listen. Gilmour's playing is great throughout, with 'No Other Baby' being a highlight for me. He plays it calmly and effortlessly, with beautiful phrasing. A big contrast with 'No More Lonely Nights' where he's overplaying all over the place. I don't know if he was into his cocaine habit back in 1984, but it really sounds like it on that track.

The live DVD from the Cavern gig featuring Run Devil Run material is worth watching too - Gilmour's battered Fender Esquire is in full effect!

Ahh... was just coming in to post that 'No More Lonely Nights' is my favourite from what I've heard, as it reminds me of 'Young Lust' guitar?
Pink Floyd fans! It takes all sorts... 8)

I've only heard a few of those but I liked the show he did from the Cavern too, and the Paul Rodgers number. Hopefully this new one with The Orb will eclipse all of those if that sample is anything to go by.

Bunking this thread upwards, I really liked David's soundtrack for Arthur C. Clarke's documentary "The Colours Of Infinity". It's out there on YouTube somewhere.
