I like how David sounds on the live recordings such as Rockpalast.

Well, if the credit says MK: lead guitar & rhythm guitar, it doesn't mean there was nothing left for DK. In many songs there are more guitar parts than guitar players, so you have to record an additional track.

... It's another subject, but I've never understood why he needs other guitarists in studio, because, they always play just few uninteresting parts, Mark plays all parts you can hear at the first listen, so why don't he record all his albums just like he did for MM and KTGC ?

Not really. When you look at live songs (I'm sorry DutchEssy for using this example), the reckognizable melody of done with bonaparte is played by RB. MK plays rhythm on the national which you can hardly pick out. The melody, especially the '96 versions you hear it well, is played by Richard on his Bouzouki. :)

And if you want to hear the impact of rhythm guitar, listen to BIA recorded on the 16th of April 2005 (Amsterdam). You'll see what happens when a capo is in the wrong position. ;)

summer of love (who would have bet it was him playing the lead if we haven't seen on video ?)



I just purchased this vid on iTunes, it's been so long since I've seen it. God I love Richards solo, it's perfect!
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!

When you are a strong player on both rhythm and lead guitar, in studio there are not a lot of room left for another guitarist.
David Gilmour did that job perfectly on many PF albums.

totally agree, that's exactly why I don't see the point for Mark to bring another guitarist in studio, except to ask him to play the "boring" parts.....
And I find that's the role devoted to 2nd guitarist all along DS/MK studio albums, especially during DS days

BTW, did I already say I love DG's playing ?  ;D
he's a really great player, and what is nice on PF albums is that you don't have to wonder who plays what  ;D ;D ;D

I always thought it was for the orchestral sessions but I think Air Studios are in the credits as well... And these are well known studios to record orchestras... well, now British Grove too  :)

Edit: Sorry, its not Air Studios but Abbey Road... so probably the strings were recorded in BG...
