Hands up if you love Gilmour's Strat abuse on the Pompeii version of Echoes - the funky part of the first half.......thinking about it, that could be his finest hour.......(.......of many............)

I wonder why they haven't released Pompeii soundtrack yet. I want it so bad!

^ Years ago, I had a vinyl bootleg of Pompeii - I had to get a friend of mine to alter the speed on his turntable to get the right pitch. Thankfully, I taped it and have kept it (not that I've played it for 'donkeys' ) but, I jettisoned the vinyl from my collection around 2000......... It would be quite something if that Pompeii recording got an official audio release...........esp. on vinyl..................

Yeah, I would love it. I feel it works wonderfully as an album format, and it's got some of the best songs in it's best versions from the Pre-Dark Side era. I would really love a sound-only format for this version of Set the Controls... definitley my favourite version of the song (somewhat I do find it stronger than the Ummagumma one... and of course miles ahead of the original studio one).

I hate to say it but I feel as if we'll never get one. I don't have a very good reason but it's been 45 years since it. Why should it come out now? I'd love to have it as it is my second favourite live show ever but I just will never see it happening.

So many good choices. I'll have to go with Comfortably Numb as the sentimental favorite.

Surely not on everyone's mind, but I sure like the mellow lead on Wearing the Inside Out off The Division Bell.

That one but also High Hopes, Marooned and Coming Back To Life have great solos.

So true Approve There's also what I call "Marooned pt.2": it has the word "marooned" on the lyrics and another dreamy solo with pedal bend Wink

^ Yes - I noticed that too - such laid-back, beautiful music. Gilmour is well in his element. Much of On An Island (especially the Gdansk versions) are an extension of Marooned. Just blissfully serene, really hits the spot.

^A really beautiful guitar there indeed, though I prefer Castellorizon personally, but it doesn't seem to get any appreciation here (at least at this poll)

Still love Rattle That Lock. Not as good as Island, whips About Face, and on-par with his debut. I don't think my life would be the same without Gilmour guitar.

Yes Dave is so good on the guitar! And Rattle That Lock is certainly one of them

Gilmour could've done more on Supertramp's Brother Where You Bound album.
And his soloing on Macca's No More Lonely Nights ballad is superb, had it not been for Gilmour, it would just be another generic song.

Indeed.

Me too.

Plus Another Brick 2 for one of his most melodic. and my favourite rhythm guitar piece from DG is near the end of Sheep.

For a guest solo spot he contributed a supperb (surprised?) solo to 80s band Berlin album Count Three And Pray a heroin song called Pink And Velvet (I thought the subject matter was something completely different - wrong again... heroine...). While this was the reason (the DG solo) I got it it, the record turned out to be a quite an ok '80s pop release, well crafted tunes. Interestingly among more recent electronica bands has been the occasional synth bass sound turning up. (Shudder, horror gasp from me back in the cheap seats but there we go).

Since some guest guitar playing from him has been mentioned, I should add "In a Broken Dream", by Rod Stewart, which actually is a "cover" from a band in the 70's for whom he sang... then in the 90's recorded it with Gilmour on guitars (and John Bonham on keyboards, which also adds some beautiful textures). Actually, when I looked it up on YouTube, my wife could identify that it was Rod Stewart and David Gilmour, without even knowing what I was listening to. However, it has become my favourite Rod Stewart song.

Outside the Barrett years, The Final Cut has the least Gilmour of any PF album, but it has some truly gut-wrenching solos on it.
