It's interesting that Townshend wanted to work with Gilmour because Townshend often seems competitive and standoffish when it comes to other guitarists (Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix for example).

I don't know anything about Townshend being particularly competitive or anything (though I actually know very little about him apart from being in The Who), but still is seemed a bit strange for me to have had shows with Gilmour as a guitar player. It's not really so strange that bands or solo artists, even guitar players, go on tour with suporting guitarists, but having such a high profile one seems strange. Then again, Gilmour did tour with Manzanera on his "On an Island" tour, which I guess would be something similar. Still, I wonder how much guitar we can expect from Gilmour and how much of Townshend himself.

I actually recorded it from TV. I think it's the exhibition at the Rockpalast in Germany. That version of Blue Light featured that percussionist whose name I never remember, che's also on the Mike Oldfield's Millennium concert.

I just read that the show actually features Gilmour as the lead guitarist throughout the concert. Now, I really wonder how it came to happen that Townsend would not take that role in a concert of his own.

I don't really know so much about him, except for some Who songs, so I might have missed that aspect of him.
