On
22nd September David Gilmour releases 'Live In Gdańsk'
- a double album and concert DVD.
David
Gilmour's first solo live album captures the magic of
his concert held in front of 50,000 fans in the Gdańsk
shipyards in Poland. This final performance from his
critically acclaimed 2006 'On An Island' tour features
Pink Floyd classics never previously performed with an
orchestra. The concert marked the 26th Anniversary of
the founding of trade union Solidarity in Poland and
the historic importance of the date magnified the night's
breathtaking atmosphere.
The
2.5 hour DVD accompanying the live album fully portrays
the drama of the Gdańsk concert, set against the industrial
landscape of the shipyard and the crane-filled skyline.
It includes both concert footage and a riveting documentary
featuring David Gilmour and the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony
Orchestra in Gdańsk. |
