COVER “Wish You Were Here” - (If Mark Knopfler Played on This Song Alongside David Gilmour)

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE... (If Mark Knopfler played with David Gilmour a Pink Floyd song …) *** 1st version *** (2nd version ) A personal cover of “Wish You Were Here“ (Pink Floyd, 1975) inspired by Mark Knopfler’s meeting with David Gilmour at British Grove Studios in London***. David Gilmour - vocals (Al extracted voice from DVD “David Gilmour in Concert - 2001“, ) Paolo Kirschner - guitars Massimo Sacchetto - piano and keyboards --------------------------------------------------- INFO ABOUT THIS COVER-VERSION: DIRE STRAITS BLOG (August 26, 2023) Listen to How It Sounds “Wish You Were Here” If Mark Knopfler Played on This Song Alongside David Gilmour --------------------------------------------------- SOME CLARIFICATIONS: - IT’S A SIMPLE COVER: it’s NOT (obviously) Mark playing, but the guitar tracks (rhythm and solo) as well as the piano and keyboards are recorded by Massimo and me as written at the beginning of the video. - AI was used EXCLUSIVELY to isolate Gilmour’s voice from the DVD (David Gilmour in Concert - 2001), i.e. to have the vocal track without the instruments. - The idea was to ’superimpose’ Gilmour’s real voice on a COVER played in a style inspired by the photograph of Mark’s meeting with David. - It is a COVER that is only meant to be - with great respect and humility - a personal suggestion: thanks for listening. --------------------------------------------------- ***Feb 25, 2023 Polly Samson recently shared the news on her social media platforms that David Gilmour has been recording new music at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios in London. Further details came to light when longtime Mark Knopfler engineer and producer Guy Fletcher shared on his Instagram platform, “I recorded David yesterday for the TCT project. It was great to see him and Polly.
