David Gilmour & David Bowie - Arnold Lane

[Muscle9teen]

Sounds good with Bowie

[Droamen]

Richard Wright was the best musitian there

[thesadtruthliveson]

Mr Richard Wright rip :(

[reddeviljp]

For those unfamiliar with Bowie - He's been a big fan of the Floyd since their early days. His version of 'See Emily Play' is outstanding.

[modernclics]

Hey, lets not forget that Richard Wright is on keyboards ;).

[naumnn]

That's a crowd that misses David. No disrespect to David Gilmour, but David Bowie has a very large audience that misses him very much. Great to see you again Mr. Bowie!

[po11utedmind]

Awesome!

[Louieisadrug]

Bowie is just as good as the original :/

[smokyotis66]

Got to like D.G.'s choice of guitar on this one... true to Syd's style. And the organ sound... pretty close to the original! Love it!

[naumnn]

I Don't understand. Who is it that David needs to follow? It seems to me that people follow him. He is the talent that people follow.

[wispa1a]

Bowie would have been my choice for pinkie over bob

[Yonnyjohn]

What a lot of people here don't realize is that this song likely has personal resonance with Bowie. In the early seventies he released an album of cover versions (PINUPS) of songs he listened to when he was younger and being influenced by pop songs. One of those songs was "See Emily Play" by Pink Floyd - same vintage as Arnold Layne, another PF hit song, so he no doubt listened to it as well. I notice he sings this one in a similar way to the way he sings "Emily".

[AnnekeKoot]

Phew, if there is a God it's BOWIE....

[AnnekeKoot]

Phew, if there is a God it's BOWIE....

[naumnn]

David Bowie, You'll always be fantastic. Your voice and talent is a gift that your fans enjoy so much!!  You're terrific!! Nice to see you again. ♥

[naumnn]

Oh my gosh...he's amazing!! ..............He's just amazing. David, you'll never grow old. You're great. Nice to see him more recent.

[hardel2008]

great version

[Yanggao89]

now i got the difference between glam and psychodelic

[GEminence]

R.I.P. Richard, and thank you!

[Yamboozle]

Amazing.... David Gilmour, Richard Wright AND David Bowie performing a song from one of the greatest musical geniuses the world has ever known, Syd Barrett.

It just doesn't get any better.

[jestrang100]

the pointed pointless ppppointicillious point may or not have been, Arnold Layne was indeed a strange one...

[mta415]

so long Richard, R.I.P.

[FatAlbertCamus]

It's so beautiful seeing Richard Wright get some center stage time, here.

[gaberdelyi]

Great! This song written to Bowie!!!! :-) What is the Concert? I want this on DVD... Is tehere?

[86forest]

Richard Wright syd barret,riposate nell'olimpo..

[trewsdetroit5]

Arnold Lane is a perfect song for Bowie. He could have penned this one himself during the Ziggy Stardust Era.

Good stuff!

[zoso11]

great performance. all look like theyre enjoying themselves too

[earthstick]

The grea tribute to Syd is that you could see Bowie really enjoyed singing that. Even thought it wasn't one of his songs it sang it as if it was.  That shows what agreat song writter Syd was that his tunes are so universal.

[remi626]

what a tribute to syd. he will be proud!

[hammbetta]

imagine floyd without ricks unique keyboard sound unthinkable

[yove381]

That´s great.Bowie make it good!

[ledgerdeathshit]

@yove381 It already was a great song, Bowie just made it even better.

[vintagezigg]

Brilliant ! Brilliant ! Brilliant !.  And how about a little respect for Richard , the humble organist .

[sleepers1124]

it was good to see bowie singing this , he sung it down to the letter, which u dont always see nowadays, very much a tribute to floyd and syd.

[marcosliguori]

los mejores .........

[lassusspe]

sin duda Marcos. Muy grosos ambos...visteComfortably Numb ?

[paultjuh1616]

awesome!!!

[EricDymond]

Someday I want to stumble upon a jam packed concert like this..

[Jennjjpollock25]

no matter what David Bowie is fucking awesome!!!

[fluffycatears]

Bowie singing a Pink Floyd song, this must be Heaven

[spencesound]

do yourself a favour, get pin ups, Bowie does "See Emily Play" and I reckon its better then pink floyds.

[jazzmanEE]

it is

[ledgerdeathshit]

Bowie once said he did not cried when Mercury, Lennon or Mick Ronson died, all good friends, but he cried when Wright died. That shows how much this band means to him.

[arkhforever]

why didnt Bowie mention Richard Wright?

[ivankaramasov]

Why should he? He was still alive and playing here. I doubt he even knew he was ill.

[Burnyoursins]

I don't think even Richard knew he was ill at that time..that was back in 2006.

[theotendleeey]

i love this song

i love gilmour

i love bowie

[amccann7]

Wonderful...nice footage of Rick too. Thanks for posting!

[floydzeppdoors69]

amazing

[omarmhalilovic]

i'm rocker and i'm 12 i love this music živio rock

[redsnapper166]

bloody marvellous!

[Jonn4n]

that suits Bowie a lot better then Comfortably Numb :o

[Senex2000]

That was great to watch. David Bowie has the most credibility to sing Barett's part I can think of and watching Wright (god bless him) recreating his original solo was wonderful. Thanks for posting!

[NORBATTv2]

Love Richard Wright's work on this one! Thanks for great video!

Pink Floyd for ever!

[lesassassins]

i can't understand the idiots that are always saying "the original is better" and bla bla. i think this kind of performances doesn't pretend to be better or worst than the original, it's just abou have a good time with great artists like bowie and gilmour having a good time with fans playing classics like arnold layne or any other.

[ramzyred]

@lesassassins tell the stupid fucks, great performance, nice song.

[feracat07]

@lesassassins Totally and utterly agree with you. Also when people compare one guitar player with another. When they play totally different styles of music....NUTTERS

[epicmeade]

I mentioned this on another clip but I,ll say it again. why isn't rick wright's name mentioned here. its especially ironic considering the fact that he's the only person on the stage who actually played on the original recording of this song. david gilmore hadn't even joined pink floyd when they recorded this.

[bassfeile]

Thank you david ! I love you ! Ohh David B. and David G. I' m a Rocker . Thank you , Thank You !!!

[mythme01]

That just wasn't a good vocal by all Bowie standards. It was lifeless and stilted.

[jedigozinsky]

much better with syd and the ret of floyd

[okkietroy]

Not even close to the original. Sorry Sid..

[datz93]

nobody spected that

[BillyIsATwat23]

LMAO okkietroy is such a big Floyd fan he can't even spell Syd...
