Deep End was a short-lived supergroup founded by guitarist Pete Townshend of the Who and featuring David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. The group also included drummer Simon Phillips, bassist Chucho Merchán, percussionist Jody Linscott, keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick, harmonica player Peter Hope Evans, vocalists Billy Nicholls, Cleveland Watkiss, Chyna, and a brass ensemble called the Kick Horns.
Performance history
In 1985, the group performed two concerts for the Double O charity at London's Brixton Academy (a third was cancelled due to poor ticket sales). The concerts were later released as the albums Deep End Live! (1986) and Live: Brixton Academy '85 (2004).
In August 2016, it was announced that a Deep End appearance on the German television show Rockpalast from 1986 would be released on CD and DVD.
