Remember That Night Dave Gilmour at The Royal Albert Hall


Remember That Night Dave Gilmour at The Royal Albert Hall - click to view full size
As part of his On an Island tour Dave Gilmour appeared at The Royal Albert Hall, London for 2 nights and it was at these gigs that his "Remember That Night" DVD was recorded. The title is taken from a line in the song "On an Island". The DVD was released on both DVD and Blu-ray formats. The DVD version came out September 17, 2007 in the UK, Europe and Australia, and on September 18, 2007 in the USA and Canada.The Blu-ray version was released on November 20, 2007.
Gilmour took to the stage and began the concert with the hauntingly beautiful “On an Island,” showcasing his signature ethereal vocals and dramatic guitar riffs. David Crosby and Graham Nash added their incomparable harmonies to the song. The vocal legends also accompanied Gilmour on several other songs, including “The Blue” and “Shine on You Crazy Diamond.” It is the threesome’s rendition of “Find the Cost of Freedom,” however, that was the true highlight of the program. Stripped of all instrumental, the three singers perfectly performed this poignant anthem from the 1970s.
David Bowie’s guest stint added another giant bolt of energy to the production. He performed a rockin’ rendition of “Arnold Layne,” a Syd Barrett original and the first single ever released by Pink Floyd. Other highlights of the program included
Gilmour’s “Smile” and the Pink Floyd classic, “Wish You Were Here”, featuring the amazing laser work of Pink Floyd Lighting Director Marc Brickman.
