The DVD set is worth getting, it has all the material from all the Amnesty videos released and includes all the Gilmour appearances including the one with Kate Bush, I think it works out at around an hour of Gilmour footage, including a performance of On The Turning Away by ''The David Gilmore (sic) Band'', theres a whole bunch of other artists on there too that people here might like such as Donovan, Peter Gabriel, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler, Lou Reed and loads of others.

Thanks! I was searching for that performance but couldn't find it. I see it was added yesterday.

Where's Nigel?! Was he replaced by Gilmour?

Sounds great. Do you know what the dvd was /is titled? I've had a casual look before with no luck.

Mine too.

Wouldve been funnier if he stole the guitarist's guitar and did his own solo though hahaha.

Correct me if I'm wrong...and I don't think I am...but the ONLY guitars in "Big Bottom" are bass guitars.

That's half of the joke of the title.

My mistake..

Well, that's what you get for no sleep in 48 hours...

Yip .. there was .. see here :
The Return Of Spinal Tap

In my opinion .... just as good as a spoof Heavy Metal "rockumentary" is :

Comic Strip presents Bad News Tour and More Bad News .. absolutely brilliant
