Location: NJ | That's one of the "bonus" clips on Gilmour's live DVD.
The guy playing the grand piano is award-winning composer/arranger Michael Kamen, who died a couple years ago. The guy playing the electric piano is recently-deceased Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright.
I highly recommend the DVD . . . |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | That Gilmour DVD is definately on the Christmas list. Michael Kaman seemed like a really cool guy. He conducted the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra (as well as wrote the score) during Metallica's "S + M" concert. He did a brilliant job and really came across as very likable in the documentary. Even if you're not a Metallica fan, it's a very interesting DVD. |

Kamen also did (I believe it might've been at a Grammy Awards ceremony)
the orchestral accompaniment for an Aerosmith performance of "Dream On".
Kamen was f@ckin' brilliant! |

| Didn't he also co-write the music to Edge Of Darkness with Clapton and conduct the orchestra on the live recording? |

Location: NJ | There's THREE of 'em out there, now.
"David Gilmour Live" is the oldest, has a LOT of acoustic stuff on it, and features some interesting instrumentation.
"Remember That Night" is from his "On an Island" Tour, features Crosby&Nash, and has a lot of "behind the scenes" footage. The tour culminated at an outdoor concert at the Gdansk shipyards in Poland with a full orchestra.
"Live from Gdansk" is basically that entire show mentioned above.
The first one is my fave . . . |

ComfortablyNumb/Robt.Wyatt
He looks like a classmate of Schroeder's . . . |

Kamen was f@ckin' brilliant! I completely agree, and an accomplished composer in his own right. Check out "An American Symphony" ... it's the music to the film Mr. Holland's Opus.
There's an available recording of the five movement symphony by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Leonard Slatkin with soloists, including violinist Leila Josefowicz.
I only wished I know what label it's in though ... |

When Roger Waters played in Brisbane, she came up here and had dinner with us on our back deck.
She's the mother of a good friend of mine. I got free front row tickets. :cool: |
