David Gilmour bei den Secret Policeman's Balls [5966]
Amnesty International hat eine Zeitlang ambitionierte Künstler zu Konzerten gebeten, die unter "Secret Policeman's Balls" liefen. Bekannt ist ein Auftritt von David Gilmour als Gitarrist von und für Kate Bush (Running up that hill).
Amnesty International releases musical highlights of The Secret Policeman’s Balls Doug Gallant The Guardian
Earlier this year, Amnesty International released a three-DVD boxed set containing almost nine hours of comedy sketches, music and interviews documenting The Secret Policeman’s Balls, a series of performances staged over three decades in the U.K. to raise much-needed dollars for Amnesty International’s worldwide efforts in support of human rights. Some of the biggest names in the pop music community in the U.K. have performed at those shows — artists like The Who’s Pete Townshend, Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Bob Geldof, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel, among others. (...)
Other artists who made the cut include Phil Collins, in one of his first performances as a solo artist, doing In The Air Tonight and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour performing On The Turning Away.
Kann das jemand verifizieren?
Die DVD selbst ist bei Amazon erhältlich, behauptet aber nicht, dass dieses Stück dort vertreten wäre:
___________________________________________ The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
Eben, das schreibt der Guardian ja auch. Also wäre er zweimal in den 30 Jahren dort gewesen, und neu ist jetzt eine Aufnahme von On The Turning Away???
Seltsam, dass man sonst davon nichts hört oder liest ...
___________________________________________ The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

Laut "Brain Damage" sind auf diesem Teil hier beide Songs vertreten:
Written by Matt Monday, 28 September 2009 Tomorrow (September 29th) sees the North American release of "Secret Policeman's Ball: The Secret Policeman Rocks!", a DVD showcasing fourteen clips from the series of benefit concerts for Amnesty International that have run for the last three decades in London. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary, Martin Lewis, the co-creator and producer of the concerts, has gone back through the series and compiled a DVD of the greatest music moments in the series.
Some of the highlights includes Pete Townshend's acoustic versions of "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" (the latter with John Williams), Sting's "Roxanne," Kate Bush (accompanied by David Gilmour) with "Running Up That Hill," Gilmour himself with "On the Turning Away," Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck with a great version of "Further On Up the Road" and a guitar duet by Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins on a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine."
Special features include interviews with actors and musicians - including Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox, Robert De Niro, Bono, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen - talking about lending support to Amnesty International. Orders for this DVD, which help Amnesty International, can be made through Amazon.com (US/International) and Amazon Canada, both of whom will ship the disc
