I went to a Rite/Grusin concert just before COVID hit in 2019. I took my album of "Discovered Again" to have them sign it.....hopefully. I am sitting at a table and a lady next to me sees the album and asks " what do you have there?" I show it to her, and the plan, and she looks at the album and comments on what a stud Dave is on the cover and she smiles and says..."perhaps I can help"....I am confused as what she means and am blanking out. She holds the album up and says " that's why I married him, that big smile"....and she told me and my family to follow her after the concert to meet him, and she would have him sign it. Just a very sweet person, and Dave was just as nice. And I have the album with both his and Rit's signatures....A great night.

That is an awesome story. Congrats on getting to meet them and the signed treasure you have. I started going to concerts as a teen in 1978 and never once thought to try and get a signature or try to meet anyone. I regret it but have many great concert memories. The only thing I have is I saved every ticket stub from every show. And a couple old concert tees that survived. My first show was Black Sabbath Never Say Die tour with VH opening. It was a small 3500 capacity sized one story hotbox of a venue and general admission so getting close was easy. I got the Black Sabbath shirt and my Mom was not approving of it and it disappeared one day.

Not so fast...I still have trouble believing that's not Lee on the record, and here's why. At the time, I went to every show Lee did in LA. The second I heard 'Another Brick in the Wall' for the first time on the radio, I immediately exclaimed " that's Ritenour!", even though it seemed ridiculous at the time. I heard no rumors at all. It didn't even make sense to me that he would be asked to play on a Pink Floyd record...but I knew. Fingers don't lie. I asked Lee about it one night at the Roxy in Hollywood, and he reluctantly answered "I finished a solo that Gilmore started". Maybe Gilmore is an expert mimic, but I still have my doubts. Just like I instantly know when I hear Robben or Larry doing a solo. The fingers are our voice.

Yeah. A great example of not letting ego get in the of the bigger picture (in this case, the music). As fantastic a guitarist (and all round musician) as Gilmour is, he also acknowledges his limitations and is more than comfortable letting someone else play certain parts if it is to the benefit of the song. That's a skill that most people, musicians or otherwise, would be well served to take on board

His first three solo records; First Course, Captain Fingers and The Captain's Journey were mind blowing both because of his playing and because of his writing.

Hi Lee. I remember when you were doing a concert in San Diego "Earth Run" back in the eighties and have been a fan ever since. I was at Humphey's that evening but could hear you playing at the venue next door. Lights Out Jazz was a great format and I loved that slice in time. Too bad the big corporations bought out all the jazz stations and turned it into smooth jazz. I listened to Fattburger, Special Efx, the Rippingtons, and Spyro Gyra for the next ten years, buying all their CDs. I saw you play in LA at the Catalina in 2018?, and in Santa Fe with Dave Grusin in 2022? I did not know that you played on The Wall, but love that album. It has some great guitar work on it. Bravo. I saw a cover band play the entire album at the Sundance on the Colorado River one year, and it is such an amazing album. They didn't miss a note. Thanks! Michael Anthony tells me that he, you, and Larry Carlton were doing a lot of session work in LA once upon a time. I've been going to his seminars and am learning jazz standards these days.

This is so great! Many years ago I had heard about another guitar player contributing to this album, but I wasn't sure who it was. A friend of mine who was an avid reader of the guitar magazines probably told me it was Lee Ritenour who had contributed to the album, but I was also thinking that it could have been Steve Lukather playing the funky chords (mainly that D minor, etc. in "Another Brick in the Wall"). Now I know the straight story about this! :) Thanks for posting this really cool video of your chat with Rit! 😀

Yes and no. They really started to bring in other musicians after they decided to get an esternal producer (Ezrin in this case). From then on (with Floyd and solo careers) they embarked dozens of incredibly talented players. Gilmour had at his court the likes of Tony Levin, Palladino, Jeff Porcaro, Manzanera, Ezrin... Waters went even bigger with Clapton, Jeff Beck, Flea, Pat Leonard and, for sure I'm forgetting a lot of them.

I was with my fledgling band in 1981 when we rented a small 12 track studio to record a demo. As I walked in the control room the owner/engineer said “gimme a second as I’m putting the final touches on this song”. The song was brand new and it was titled “Mr. Briefcase”. I looked at the engineer and told him I was afraid I made a mistake because there’s no way you’d want to ever work with us if you’re mixing a song like that”….LOL. He said “I’m just kidding. Please don’t go”. He obviously needed the money!!! Needless to say discovering Lee was just as tremendous to me as discovering Larry Carlton, Jay Graydon, Dean Parks and so many other immensely talented musicians of that era. Thanks for all you did and all you do Lee. You’re a pro’s pro.

From DG: “"Lee Ritenour played one of the two high strums on "Comfortably Numb" and some rhythm guitar on "Is There Anybody Out There?". I tried it with ten different leather picks and I just couldn't pick it smoothly enough. I'm not masochistic and sometimes I get a guitar part out of here (points to his heart) that these things (fingers) won't fucking do!"

@@silviolutti1522 that’s a quote from Gilmore. I think it means he was able to play one of them but not the other one and needed Ritenour to play that one because he could only “hear in his heart” but not get his fingers to play

I think you misunderstood or misread. There was some doubt about the solo of another brick in the wall but apparently it didn't go as some people said: the solo was played by Gilmour. As regards the two solos of comfortably numb, it is 100% certain that David Gilmour played in both solos, Lee Ritenour only played the acoustic guitar. I repeat: the doubts were only about another brick in the wall, but now we know for sure that ALL the solos on the wall studio album were played by David Gilmour.

I believe Steely Dan’s my old school solo was done similarly. They brought in a bunch of different session guys and let them lay down the solo, but they didn’t know which one they chose until they heard the song on the radio. Pretty cool.
