David Gilmour: Live in Gdansk

Excelente producto. Incluye DVD del concierto.

The limited-edition 5-disc set of David Gilmour's "Live in Gdansk" is an amazing fusion of audio and video. Is it worth the money, though? I suppose that depends on how big a fan you are of the guitarist/vocalist and/or his former band, Pink Floyd. Being a fan of both, I find this set to be very compelling.On the two main CDs, Gilmour offers up 148 minutes of music, nicely balancing work from his 2006 solo album "On an Island" with older, classic Pink Floyd material. CD 1 features all ten tracks from "Island," including the lovely "Smile," the harder-rocking "Take a Breath" and the wistful "A Pocketful of Stones." The four Pink Floyd songs are all from "Dark Side of the Moon": "Speak to Me," "Breathe," "Time" and "Breathe (Reprise)." CD 2 finds Gilmour reaching back into the Floyd canon for some early stuff, including his take on Syd Barrett's "Astronomy Domine," plus his own "Fat Old Sun" from "Atom Heart Mother," plus some more recognizable stuff such as "Echoes," "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here."The two DVDs offer the following: 1. Video of the Gdansk concert itself, including "Castellorizon" and all the other "On An Island" songs plus versions of these Pink Floyd songs: "Astronomy Domine," "High Hopes," "Echoes," "A Great Day for Freedom" and "Comfortably Numb." Disc 4 is the other DVD, offering video performances from other stops on the "On an Island" tour, and some other goodies: For one, it has three "barn jams" of Gilmour playing with the late Rick Wright and other musicians. For another -- and this is one of the collection's gems -- a DVD-Audio only section with a complete 5.1 mix of "On an Island"! Altogether, the two DVDs offer 289 minutes of material -- nearly five hours.Disc 5 is a bonus CD of audio tracks from the 2006 tour, and includes "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Coming Back to Life" and "On the Turning Away."The lavish packaging also includes some photos and tour memorabilia such as a replica of a backstage pass, but honestly, I hardly glanced at the stuff. The audio and video content here have been my focus, and will continue to be for quite some time. This is a collection to savor, and to return to, again and again.

Here is one very satisfying concert if you are a Pink Floyd fan. David Gilmour truly shows of his great "guitar man" finesse here , and he's joined by a great supporting cast of musicians including Richard Wright and Phil Manzanera. And not only do you get a great double-CD album, but you also get much of the concert footage on a great DVD! It is a recording of the final show of his "On an Island" album tour in 2006, where he played to a huge audience at the Gdańsk Shipyard in Poland, to celebrate the founding of the Solidarity trade union. The "On An Island" album is certainly featured here, but there is much more in store for Floyd Fans. There are some great renditions of some of Pink Floyd's best stuff from many of their albums. One which I particularly liked was "Astronomy Domine", which actually goes way back to the Sid Barrett days! On a more solemn note, this is considered to be the last PInk Floyd-related recording which features Richard Wright. Sadly, though it was recorded in 2006, it was not released until September 2008, which was one week following Richard Wright's death.

This is perhaps the best live performance of Pink Floyd ever. Gilmore is masterful and the audience added a great ambiance. The package is a little expensive, but there are 4 discs, including 2 DVD's of the concert. Well worth the expense!

I have been a David Gilmour fan for a long time. Got into Pink Floyd back in the late 70's not long after he put out his first solo album (which is now 30 years old as I write this). Followed him through all the years of Floyd, his solo albums, and all that. When I heard he was putting out a live album, I wasn't terribly sure I was going to get it. Live albums are a mixed bag with me. If you saw the tour a live album came from, then it's kind of a must purchase. But if you weren't, you're essentially buying the same songs again. So I kind of waffled.Then I saw the track listing, and it was quite varied. Went into the ancient days of Pink Floyd (60's era), and hit the usual Floyd hits. It also had quite a few songs from his third solo album. If there was any disappointment for me, it was that there were not any tracks from David's first two solo albums - there's a lot of good stuff there (mostly on the second), but that wasn't a major deal. The selling point for me was Rick Wright. As one of the founders of Pink Floyd (Gilmour was not), it kind of felt more like a Floyd album with two of the guys there, so I pre-ordered it. Then Rick Wright died before it was released. It kind of turned into a tribute because of that.The music itself was quite good. It was recorded on the final date of the tour for his On an Island album. It was in Gdansk Poland - in the shipyards made famous by Lech Walensa (sp?). The track selection was pretty good, had some stuff I was not expecting (Astronomy Domine, Echoes!), and I did enjoy hearing live version of his third solo album. So yeah, I enjoyed it. I'm not terribly sure it's for everyone though. This does have a unique feel in that there's an orchestra playing. Lots of bands do that now, but this seems to fit the music more than most bands who just go "Oh, here's an orchestra, too".A bit of a note here. There were MANY different versions of the thing. David Gilmour's site details all of them, but I bought the 2 CD / 1 DVD version myself.

Diese Live Konzert fand 2006 in einer Werft in Danzig statt und war das letzte Konzert mit Richard Wright, der wenige Tage danach starb. Wenn man das subtile Wechselspiel zwischen Gilmour und Wright bei Echoes hört versteht man ,warum David Gilmour nach dem Tod von Richard Wright Echoes niemals mehr live spielen wollte. Allein dieses Stück ist Einzigartig und den Kauf wert . Abgesehen davon ist die Ton-aber auch Bildqualität des gesamten Konzertes hervorragend . Von mir 5 plus einen Bonus-Stern .

Un gran concierto del famoso ex-Pink Floyd en el que brilla especialmente sus excelentes solos de guitarra acompañado en esta ocasion ademàs del grupo de ritmo de una gran orquesta de la ciudad de Gdansk en el norte de Polonia,buen DVD, además en los dos CDs aparece algún titulo más de su repertorio.Muy recomendable.

Superb DVD, great concert
