On September 16th 2016, Eagle Rock Entertainment release the live concert film Face The Face by Pete Townshend's Deep End as a DVD and CD set. This is the first official release of the band's third and final full length concert, which was captured by the German TV series Rockpalast at MIDEM in Cannes on January 29th 1986.
The recording features David Gilmour on lead guitar throughout and the set includes a mix of Townshend and Who classics such as Face The Face, Secondhand Love, Rough Boys, Give Blood, Won't Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, Pinball Wizard and more.
As on the existing Deep End in Brixton live disc, Gilmour is included performing Blue Light from his 1984 album, About Face.
Around of the time of the Deep End shows, Townshend had this to say about Gilmour: "Among players — particularly among British players — he's incredibly highly rated — adored, I'd say. And he has a way of putting incredible feeling into everything that he does. I suppose technically, he's very good. But that’s not the important thing. The important thing is the way that he plays."
At present, pre-orders can be made via Amazon.com and Amazon Canada. We expect other Amazon stores will be offering this shortly, but if not, both Amazon stores above ship internationally.
