David Gilmour in Concert

I bought this DVD on faith in one of my favorite Guitarists in the world. At first I was taken aback. The concert starts with David, standing alone on stage noodling around on an acoustic guitar, and he works his way into Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 1. OK, at this point I was enjoying the show fine, but it wasn't what I expected. Then the sax player came on stage and put goose bumps down my back. Not only is Mr Gilmour awesome, but every musician that appears on stage with David throughout this show is incredible.

The concert starts mellow and soft, builds to the climax (With Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part II) then ends with a very mellow Hush-a-bye Mountain. High points include the George Bizet tune and the home video on the extra's portion of the DVD.

This is not a renter - if you're a David Gilmour fan, buy it and watch it over and over again.

This is my favorite music DVD and one worth some discussion whether you are a Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fan or not. I don't know that there has been a concert enjoyed my so many of our friends who have never listened to much of Pink Floyd. So, even if you don't care much for Pink or you haven't listened much to Pink... you can still appreciate this DVD concert.

The guitar pickin'... use of the varied instruments, the choral group, and the relaxing style of music make this a must have DVD in my opinion.

The video quality is just okay... nothing spectacular, but the camera work is done very well.

The sound quality is where I believe this DVD shines... it is nothing short of awesome in DD 5.1, however a stereo track is available for those who would rather listen in stereo.

Being a fan of Pink Floyd, and a fan of the incredibly underrated guitarist that is David Gilmour. I naturally had to go pick it up, It is a fantastic DVD, It has some of the greatest Floyd songs Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1 and 2, comfortably numb, wish you were here. The additional material like the Syd Barrett songs are excellent, even some of the other songs that were not as good as the Floyd material, Gilmour stills tackles them with impressive vocals and always impressive guitar playing.

If you enjoy David Gilmours Work, and your a Pink Floyd fan, and you don't own this go and get it I've had it for a couple days and I'm on my fourth viewing-Great purchase.

This is the DVD to own! David Gilmour gives a spectacular performance of a number of Pink Floyd songs, as well as some classical pieces and a couple covers. The guest appearances are fantastic! Be sure to check out the Special Features section for additional performances, including a cover of Elvis Presley's "Don't."

I must say i was quite disappointed with David Gilmour.. I was somewhat amazed when he pulled the long reverb sounds out of the chords in shine on your crazy diamonds, but I lost my interest right afterwards.. The way he plays these beautiful classics sound like stereotype-music with no purpose... It doesn't work at all with him playing it acoustic and alone, and when he gets the other musicians they continue to deliver the music inelegant empty and exposed for soul. For a moment I thought that pink floyd's music was uninteresting.. and I don't get it because I know Pink Floyd are good, so this must be a mistake from Gilmour, he was drunk, or maybe he wasn't.. anyways this doesn't work! Pull your act together big guy, I know your up for it..
