Excellent sonics, good vid quality and lots of fretboard close-ups (there's even a bonus section called "loose digits" that are all FB close-ups during David's solos!). He's old, balding and a bit bulked-up, but he's still got it...he's in fine voice both vocally and instrumentally. Highly recommended! Now, if they would just release the live documentary ca. 1984 RE: the "About Face" LP on DVD. Honorable mention to Roger Water's "In the Flesh Live" DVD. Good playing of old Floyd and Water's better solo stuff ca. 2000....good sonics and pic quality as well. Doyle Bramhall II is particularly outstanding on most of the lead guitar duties. gare Intermediate Member Username: gare Post Number: 159 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 6:30 am:    'old, balding and a bit bulked-up' Present ! You called ? I've seen this video,excellent. Like Kevin said, if you're a Floyd fan it's a must have/see. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 769 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 4:32 pm:    David is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite guitarists. His tone and musicality are instantly recognizable. I can also relate to the "old, balding and bulking-up" comment, being a member of the "Over-40 Guitar Club", LOL!. Touche'! davr35 Junior Username: davr35 Post Number: 23 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 9:41 pm:    Ah I remember when I was old, balding, and bulked up... I think that started for me around 23 or so... come to think of it I still am old, balding, and bulked up.. you can add tone deaf too Dave kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 771 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 - 6:05 am:    Sorry, Duplicate post.

Have you seen his wife Polly Samson? Young and pretty...made four pretty babies for him too! Rather terrible being a famous rock star, eh? Quite! kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 776 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2005 - 4:10 pm:    There is (was?) a great Gilmour resource on the web called gilmourish.com. It's authored by a Norwegian (?) Gilmour fanatic that plays in a Pink Floyd cover band. He has devoted countless hours trying to duplicate Gilmour's style, tone, licks and equipment...and does a god job explaining everything. His sound bytes of his cover band aren't too shabby either. He also has good Gilmour/Floyd links. Now if I can only figure out how to contact the guy as his web domain name appears to have expired yesterday. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 781 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 9:11 am:    Gilmourish.com is back on the air, er, um, Web. You can ck out Bjorn Riis's site at the following link: http://www.gilmourish.com/welcome.html Enjoy. About all he's missing is TAB of David's licks. They can be found at other sites vis links on the above. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 793 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 4:50 am:    FYI, For those that are interested, Amazon.com is having a sale on the new 25th anniversary edition DVD of "The Wall" (i.e., the Gerald Scarfe-animated movie starring Sir Bob Geldof).

It is in actuality a vintage 100ft.-long house boat that was completely fitted-out as a recording studio! Pete Cornish helped fit the thing with custom tube electronics to solve a myriad of noise/signal problems as as the studio is at one end, and the control room is at the other.
