David Gilmour Releases Statement On Richard Wright's Passing, New Live Album To Be Screened in Select Theaters - Page 2

This package has been in the works for a great many months, but it's tough to imagine it not meaning something a whole different and a whole lot more to Gilmour in light of his friend's passing. 

If this was Wright's final show, he left us on a high note.  I've listened to an advance of the 2-CD set, and this experiment of bringing the music of Gilmour and Floyd together with an orchestra worked brilliantly.
