  • Great feeling

  • Gary McKinnon deserves legal representation and needs help with his health-care. David and the others are generous to help him get a fair trial (and avoid cruel and unusual punishment because of the misnamed "Patriot Act").

    "Chicago" is a great song of Graham Nash. :)

    Of course, McKinnon should not have broken into Pentagon computers, particularly soon after 9/11.

  • This is great!! Thanks.

  • gilour looks like he is 80!

  • Love the ending solo were Gilmour makes the riff from the Floyd song - Sorrow :)

  • what a great song¡¡¡ who is the girl? sing very well

  • @jlna83 The girl is Chrissie Hynde from "The Pretenders", she's also singing with UB40 on "i got you babe".

  • go to 2:04 and look at those black strats in the left

  • Is Garry McKinnon still free?

    Just wondering

  • 0:52 LOOK AT ALL THOSE BLACK STRATS!

    This is a great version of the CSN song, and It made me look up Gary McKinnon.

  • Coincidentally, Bob Geldof is the actor who portrayed Pink in the movie The Wall xD

  • @Willyj1230 who is pink he played syd barrett

  • @fuckjbradj True, the movie was sorta about Syd Barret, but the character in the movie was named Pink Floyd :3

  • OK, I love Gilmour, but this is crap. POLITICAL bs. Waters-like.

  • Chrissie Hynde has the voice of an angel.

  • when i first saw this video, i wondered from where i knew Chrissie Hynde.

    Now i just remembered, she appeared on Friends =)

    btw, gilmour is god!

  • @leonsolo01 kind of sad you only know Chrissie Hynde from "Friends" :P

  • Get rid of Chrissy Hynde and I think you've got something.

  • You know Garry and Dave acctualy sound good together.....

  • What are they on about with changing and re-arranging the world? In what respect? What was this song supposed to accomplish?

  • @randomdave30 its a politcal song to free Gary Mckinnon

  • so many black strats :o

  • feat SIR david gilmour too

    :D

  • No one can play a guitar like david gilmour :)

  • excuse me Mr Gilmour can i have one of those black strats please? greatly appreciated.

  • would have sounded better with a strat ;)

  • what i would do for a HIWATT

  • First music video ever played on Coverville.

  • Gilmour !!!

  • At 2:27 David Gilmour barefooted. So cute! I think by viewing this you can see he and Bob have a very close relationship. Most Americans feel Garry got railroaded over something that didn't even happen. In fact, he probably found a security breach on 9/11 and that is why the US Government is so upset. People need to be fair. Government at fault, not Garry. Please free this man

  • if anyone is wonder who gary is, hes the brit who hacked into us gov computer system trying to finde info on UFOs and whatnot (he claims he found what he was looking for) then the us arrested him claiming he hacked into miltary wepon databases or summtin. the us wishes to trial him here whil uk is protesting to have the trial there. tthis is daves protest song.

  • @Fretlessjay

    The UK as in the people. not the Government. Obama and Cameron will probably do deals

  • @wispa1a yea pritty much what i ment, i hope Gary dose get his trial at home, our government will pull out so much bullshit if they do it here, its truly disgraceful and embarresing

  • @Fretlessjay i Dodnt trust either Obama or Cameron. When I ment a deal..... One that favours them not anyone else

  • como se llama la cancion

  • Gilmoure is God sent

  • chrissie hynde, is quite a fit ...milf i believe is the correct teminolgy, she would get it good!...enough of that, david is brillant, 1/ guitarist of all time, and my faviroute.

  • un uomo, un mito e che voce e che suoni. Grazie di esistere

  • A great interpretation of Graham Nash's song Chicago and very fitting for the campaign to keep Gary in UK. It's great that Chrissie Hind, David Gilmore and Bob Geldof shall most certainly carry some clout.

  • como se llama la cancion al q me diga me suscribo

  • WOW...Chrissie Hynde looks really good...You wouldn't guess she's pushing 60..Maybe a vegan diet ain't so bad.

  • @MrFloydianSlip  naw she's had some meat before

  • Wow. This is very awesome!

  • Brilliant tune, Gary should be left to get on with his life and given a huge reward for his effort exposing the security flaws of the American GOVERMENT.

    I am truly amazed that this is the first time I have seen or heard this song, considering the artists involved and the subject having a LOT of interest .

    Media EH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........­.....................

  • very beautiful to bad Richard Wright wasnt here to play......RIP

  • @xSingForTheSorrowx I feel ya man, but let's look ahead and not back. :)

  • @djtrixen yep, hes in a better place right now,probably having a pretty interesting conversation with Mr. Hendrix,and Kurt Cobain

  • thank you..............

  • Legends !!!!! This is awesome !!!

  • like this song so much.

    where can I buy this song? any one link?

  • his voice is perfect but getting old is not going for his voice. the voice he had back in '73 is now not with him :( we're lucky that fingers don't get old:)

  • first time I've seen Dave play a Les Paul.... and a nice one at that!!

  • @FloydBarrettReview He plays with Les Paul in a Jam Session in his barn. It's on the extra from Live in Gdansk DVD

  • HaHaHa Medium well!! With grilled mushrooms and onions!!!!

  • UK voters against the extradition of Gary McKinnon - text GARY to 65000 to petition government to keep and try him in the UK. (Your standard network text rates apply)

  • Download this on iTunes - make it chart!

  • i have allways been in support of GARYMCKINNON. he comes from my town! he himself is an amazing musician, check him out if you havnt allready, and even david gilmour is behind him, if you realy love the floyd you must see why this is so important !, for the people who support him get facebook and join the groups that support him, make your voices heard, and merry christmas! to everyone and GARY MCKINNON !

  • yes mate it would if i was hiding stuff like free energy from the world !

    but back to reality,no its not ok to hack my personal data, but neither is it ok to extradite you from your family under a terroist act when you are clearly not a terrorist , christmas day bomber.FAILED terrorist attack by Umar abdulmutallab.now theres your terrorist type chap! you obviously love dave gilmour like the rest of us why cant you see the injustice an get behind our every day man GARY MCKINNON dave gilmour has

  • Dave and his Bare Feet!! WE ALL LOVE YOU DAVE!!! No Matter What Ya Do!!!!

  • hacking is not a extraditable offence so no its not the same its actuly a very pale insignificance!

    i mean obviously there is a difference between hacking, and burlglary dude wake up

  • David Gilmour with Gibson ?

  • great stuff merry christmas fromDONOTTAWAGUITAR

  • thanks for this..........excellent

  • brAvo David Gilmour Nº1

  • Este video tiene algo especial...me encanta!!!!

    5*****

  • i'm not against liberation of animal or even stones!!! but maybe first we should ask for libration of human?? about David, as always great )))

  • If they punish Gary for their rubbish computer systems then it would be more stupid than this recording. Still, at least they're trying.

  • Love you Dave and Chrissie (Sir Bob is a cunt though, no self respecting irishman would kneel before the queen to be knighted...)

    as for Gary, he broke the law and attacked my country.... fuck him let him rot in jail....

  • Fuck u ya yank bastard

  • dude us law states that hacking is not an extraditable offence so why the harsh veiw for a man who caused less than $5000 worth of damage.and yeah bob is a bit of a douch but garys a normal londoner and obviously extradition is not an option within the law, we seem to have the weakest security system in place at the pentagon ? a guy from london hacked in,on a desktop with xp how much of a fail our systems are and im glad it wasnt a russian who got in.. britain are our allies lets not forget that

  • DAVID GILMOUR THANK YOU

  • Excellent Track! FREE GARY MCKINNON!!! Big Love X

  • THANKS DAVID !!!! YOU ROCK !!! Thanks for Keeping Floyd alive for so many many years!!! Thank you so much for not giving up on the band like "other' Members did! Look @ You Know.. You are Pink Floyd ! I Just Cant Say It Enough!!! Thank You !!!!

  • I, too, am in particular a HUGE fan of animal libations (alcohol created from animal parts).

  • I recently cleaned my computer from an evil rootkit virus, and can't think of a punishment that would be hard enough for the person who wrote it. What McKinnon did caused the same delays in work and feelings of frustration and anger among thousands of employees. While we can partly understand the effect genetic disorders have on people's actions, a crime is still a crime.

  • Actually, no. He did no damage whatsoever, certainly didn't propagate any viruses, and certainly didn't shut down any machines. He didn't even break any passwords or firewalls - there weren't any!

  • Sei sempre il Numero 1111111111 .. ma quando ritorni in Italia ?????????????

    David Gilmour THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!

  • The guitar sound reminds me of some of those heard on 'About Face'.

  • Even though he is more recognised as a Strat player, Gilmour gets some amazing tones from Gibsons!

  • Abbey road? )

  • nice tune & an interesting story with regards to Gary McKinnon. i'm not exactly sure what to make of it. all that stuff about UFO's, extra-terrestrials & free energy; if it's true, we all deserve to know about it & even if it's not true, Gary doesn't deserve to be locked-up. it's the Pentagon & NASA's fault for having such lax security. Gary did nothing special to gain access.

  • I don't know jelinto. Its a little like saying its the victim's fault for having the door opened so the theif could steel. I think one thing may be more wrong than the other. He did cause a lot of damage from what I read, but I could be wrong.

  • Yes, that is completely wrong. He didn't cause any damage whatsoever.

  • i have aspergers and it seems to me that people on the spectrum are either treated like children and or second class citizens! sorry to say that, but it's true,at least in my own experiences!we're not retards or people to be taken advantage of or exploited!

  • I totally agree with you.

  • Absolutely EXCELLENT!!!!! I hadnt heard this before; the vocals are amazing.

    ~Amy

  • pause it at 242 and look i see 5 to the left and then there are some behind him at 234 you can see behind him

  • watch further looks like 8or10 strats behind david

  • barefoot dave

  • What a surprise to come accross this song/video. Haven't a clue what it's about so could some1 explain. I'm Bob Geldof's no1 fan nonetheless. Chrissie & David are legends too though.

  • Free Gary. The US is afraid that as easy as he got in, many others like us can. But we know this country is full of it, hiding things from its TAX papers for "our own good" Please. 700k in damages, come on we know that maybe they will invest that towards protectinbg their systems a little better. Will that make the US a better PLACE ? for them it might.....

  • Free GARY ....700k in damages ? prove that, Im sure you ( GOVT ) will come up with some BULLSHIT....teh govt is just afraid that there are copmuter GEEKS like us...

  • What studio is this in ?

  • I like the message in this song.. Free Gary...Autist not belong in jail ..

  • nice.... its not available n my country.... whatta crap!

  • Great Video!!

  • How many "Black Strats" in that rack behind DG...??

  • 5 of them, i bet he could spare one ;)

  • It would save me the trouble of building one from scratch...!! ;-)

  • Good video and song,unlike on you creative

  • Save the squirrels david..

  • Geldof is Pink

  • Brawo David!

  • Good luck to Gary - I hate to see what Britain is becoming.

  • hi guys,if they like Bob Geldof please watch my vid l7 shitlist cover feat bob geldof in my channel is very cool.

  • freak awesome!!!go to my favorites...

  • Graet!!!! :DD

  • Wow Chrisse Hynde looks fantastic

  • beautiful

  • did gary actually sing in this?

  • Yeap, he did some backing vocals.

  • It's great to see David Gilmour performing!!

    When's the next CD of new music coming out??

  • I dunno. But it won't be the same without Richard Wright. :(

  • Chrissie looks a bit lost at the end without a Telecaster in her hands...

    Interesting song.

  • This is a great video - Gilmour and Hynde sound great together. They should actually tour and cut an album.

  • a great cause to align yourselves with, and im shocked how much geldof has aged

  • Great Song!! Be more careful next time Gary!! He's just looking for answers to NASA's long-time cover-up on ufos!!!!!! Gilmour is still THE MAN!!!

  • is there a way to visit The Astoria studios?...it will be awesome!!!

  • I was SO close to seeing Chicago. SO FUCKING CLOSE! T_T

  • What do you mean?

  • Although Gary Mckinnon is suffering from some sort of mental illness he hacked into 90 or so computers searching for ufo etc. evidences. Now he actually claims that he found what he was looking for. This is really disturbing guys...

  • why is that disturbing?he did something against the law. Although the computer laws are very ambiguous

  • That's not what I meant. He said that he found evidence that ufo and et's do exist. So I guess he doesn't lie and that is very disturbing if you asked me...

  • He does not have proof for what he found/see. Nobody can believe him...although we all think that he is right.

  • I like this.

  • geldof seems dont write music anymore.

  • thats not true he has a new lp out next month and a tour

  • David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, Slash= BEST GUITARISTS EVERRRR

  • Scratch the Slash and add a Clapton.

  • i'd agree with that. and with a little bit of George Harrison, will do.

  • Love the song and the video:):)

  • Awsome david but please do your own songs.

  • As usual David is excellent. And It's for an excellent cause.

    Gary McKinnon's hacking of our military computer system is probably the best think that could have happened to us. No we know how faulty it is, and we know that changes need to be made.

    He should be praised for exposing this fault. But of course our idiotic government would rather punish a guy suffering from Asperger's syndrome.

    Hey, I'm all for national security. But these efforts have gone too far.

  • Who is Gary McKinnon?

  • I didn't know who he was either. I Googled his name and found out. It's much more efficient that expecting someone to tell you.

  • I can't stop listening to this song!

    i think this one is even better than original song IMHO.

    He plays on guitar, bass guitar, keyboards - incredible!!

    p.s. good luck Gary!

  • this cause is very important... please post this video on your facebooks and my space....

    we cant allow a british born male to be tried in america under there terrorism laws...

    his crime is one any schoolboy could pull, more fool nasa for having such open servers, but to stop them selves looking stupid they are willing to try an autistic british citizen....

    well good job he werent a taliban then.

  • a, F,a,F,a,F,a,F

    G,F,C/x3

    D,

    Look how David is playing. So simple and so fun:)

  • I know what you mean about graduating at 22. I had to fight for over 1 year to get my son on a diploma track even though he is clearly intelligent enough. He has no academic goals at all. he exceeds every standard academically. I was told being in special education(he has meltdowns related to sensory issues) is an automatic attendance only diploma. I hate special education, its a parking lot for kids who dont fit the cookie cutter mold.

  • thank you for sharing that with me. My children have language issues so its hard for them to tell me these things. I think my son had a teacher like yours. he would run away from her and classmates. A couple times he made it very close to busy streets. This year I am forced to send him to a gated/semi-locked down school. I have him in counseling to try and figure out whats bothering him and how we can help. It means alot to me to hear from someone with firsthand knowledge.

  • and I was asked for Secretaryof State but refused

    you should know what's important : "Animal Rights"

    see my page

  • sad David wasted his time for this one.

  • I like it.

    Gilmour is hot, so is Hynde.

    Is it too much to think there is more music? Thanks posting!

    luna

  • chrissy looks hot cause you cant see her from waist down. another video shows whole shot and it looks like she is doing the "pee pee dance". she should have went before filming.

  • This is the guy that is making all the fuss????? There is no reason for US authorities to waste taxpayer money on bringing this guy over here, giving him a trial, and paying for whatever sentence he could get. Besides, there are guys down in Gitmo who should stand trial before this guy. Ridiculous.

  • Guilmours voice wow!

  • Dauvyd Gilkmolur isz amdazhing!

  • If life has taught me anything it's that society does not care about autistic people. I have seen the callous way my children are treated by government, insurance, social service agencies, school boards and professionals, etc....

    The world sucks, get used to it.

    Listening to chrissy hyde compare his extradition to a factory farm is insulting considering that there are actually people trapped in these situations even children.

  • ahh shit, thats all i needed to do to jamm out with david glimour, just hack a computer and i would get to jamm with gilmour ! damm it, I knew i should have done it... i knew it !!

  • whats a proxy

  • A sorrow think that Rick Wright couldn't be there playing that keyboards (R.I.P.).

  • good sound

  • Brilliant. Dave I love you man (in a completely non sexual way...lol)
