http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/adampayne/41500 I received a terrific gift not long ago, Remember That Night David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall on DVD. I'm a big Pink Floyd fan, and did get an opportunity to see them in Sacramento about 20 years ago minus Roger Waters at Hughes Stadium. It was an amazing show. Timeless really, a 1989&nbsp; Delicate Sound of Thunder tour, which Floyd seems to always personify at each marking point along the journey. Watching this DVD of David Gilmour without the giant albatross of Pink Floyd expectations by audiences is a real treat. He has some unlikely guests, Graham Nash and David Crosby, to accompany the band and bring a new perspective to some old classics. The great guitarist from Roxy Music, Phil Manzanera, is part of the band along with longtime friend and Floyd mate Rick Wright, who only last September passed away suddenly after losing the battle against cancer. This DVD showcases the last major tour David Gilmour undertook in 2006 to promote his On An Island cd and to pay some final homages to Pink Floyd's original songmaster, Syd Barrett. The concert footage is wonderful and David Bowie makes an appearance singing Comfortably Numb and Arnold Layne. Enjoyable high fidelity concert sound and vision. The real treat for me with this 2-disc DVD set, however, are the three documentaries included on the second disc. You feel like a guest on tour with very unpretentious and cool people you would like to hang out with. It is striking to also see a real commitment to very worthy causes from David Gilmour and crew. There are special humorous, inspirational and touching moments throughout the documentaries. I don't want to give away great surprises but the use of wine glasses and an appearance by an old chum rehearsing in a separate sound stage at the same studio facility as David Gilmour's group&nbsp; is very cool. For much of the world this music still is the right stuff, and retains the power to cast wonder over audiences in the east and in the west.&nbsp; David Gilmour and his music remain a very special gift people should indulge in more frequently. Here is a link to David Gilmour's website. He has released a separate set on DVD and CD from the tour's last destination, Gdansk, Poland. Check it out. &nbsp; I received a terrific gift not long ago, Remember That Night David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall on DVD.
