King on the Jools Holland Show.\u00a0 Both are very cool performances, and definitely two different styles of bands, but both are enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll post the Les Paul Tribute performance first from 1988.\u00a0 Check it out at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8rlmfggLCpw\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8rlmfggLCpw<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[youtube_sc url=&#8221;http:\/\/youtu.be\/8rlmfggLCpw&#8221; height=&#8221;420&#8243; rel=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The second live performance features David Gilmour as a special guest on the Jools Holland Show with B.B.
