I just thought people would like to know (if they dont already) that David Gilmour will be performing live on Later With Jools Holland tonight on BBC 2. Should be interesting.

and David Crosby & Graham Nash............great stuff!

Was it just me though, or does Paul Simon look like an escaped extra from Cocoon these days???
It was a great show, I love The Streets too........... one of a new generation of incrdibly talented modern day poets!

^As rappers go, The Streets arnt bad, though still not my thing. I didnt like that Brailian goup (cant remember their name nowEmbarrassed), their Bass player was wearing that axe around his ankles, there was no way he was going to be any good holding it like that. Little things like this really rankle with me, especially as I'm a bass player.

I think that last bit belongs in the ranting roomLOL

^ something annoyed me about the Brazilian group too, but I didn't know what!?!? I don't think it would have been the bass position though!

It was interesting to hear Paul Simon say he worked with Dave Gilmour going a gig at some function when they were students or something in1964........FORTY TWO YEARS AGO!!!
Close your eyes and I don't think they have aged one little bit!

Paul Simon needs to accept that he's losing his hair!
It was good to see Gilmour and Wright together, although they did show that Arnold Layne doesn't really work when played straight by 60 year olds. Good show though. Was that Phil Manzanera on guitar with Gilmour?

Yes, I think it was............
 
the show was on so late, and I was SO tired, I made notes, because I knew I would wake up this morning having merged the show with imagination and not know WHO was on it! LOL

I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish that programme was called "Earlier with Jools Holland".

Phil is part of David Gilmour's current touring band and also assisted recording the album On An Island.

Am I the only one who finds Jools Holland's presentation style [not his music, though I don't like that either] to be extremely irritating?
