Music DVD Review: David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk - Page 2

The DVD cuts a number of songs from the CD, but includes all of the On an Island songs, as well as "Echoes" and "Astronomy Domine." Also included on the DVD is a Gdansk Diary, a 40-minute documentary about the show featuring interviews with the band members and crew, rehearsal footage, and Gilmour's meeting with Lech Walesa, the former president of Poland and leader of the Solidarity movement.

With a setlist almost identical to 2007's Remember that Night, Live at Gdansk is more of a companion piece than a must-have, but for fans of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour, especially those who don't already own the former, it is an excellent live document of this great talent.

    Nice review - it's a gorgeous, near perfect live album. Probably Gilmour's best live outing, either with the Floyd or solo. I sure wish the DVD had the full concert . . . It almost makes Remember That Night pointless, but that one is so beautiful, too, and just different enough in setlist and playing that it's necessary for big fans.
