I wouldn't necessarily call a Wikipedia article "proof," but since the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia says the same thing, I think it's very likely true.

That David Gilmour is good at a lot of instruments; Roger Waters once joked that some of the bass-playing awards he's won should have gone to David--people often say "Man, Roger Waters plays great bass on Pigs 3DO/Hey You/Young Lust, etc," but those parts (and others) were actually Gilmour. The version of "Money" on "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" is said to be Dave playing EVERYTHING except for the sax, which is Dick Parry.

I'm pretty sure that's also Dave on drums (and everything else) on "The Narrow Way," too.
