David Gilmour
Live In Gdansk The death of Rick Wright
probably further reduces what slim chance
remained that David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Nick Mason will ever record
or perform together again. Thankfully, David Gilmour included Wright
on this performance. The selection of Pink Floyd songs performed during
this concert was clearly influenced by Wright's participation.
"Speak To Me" "Breathe" "Time" "Wish You Were Here" and the tribute to
Syd
Barrett, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" were to be expected, and are all
done superbly. But Barrett's "Astronomy Domine" and the full 25
minutes of "Echos" make this collection quite special. Also included
are all 10 songs from Gilmour's third solo recording "On An Island".
A good deal of credit also goes to Phil Manzanara, who co-produced in
addition to playing guitar. He and Gilmour manage to finesse just
the right contribution from the 40 member Baltic Symphony Orchestra.
The package is available in a dizzying number of configurations, including
a full box set, 2 CD 2 DVD, or 2 CD 1 DVD.
