Rating : - Best Gilmore DVD to date
I enjoyed this DVD on all levels: the music, the performance, the visuals, and the audio. Gilmour surrounded himself with an excellent cast of musicians (most of whom you'll recognize from other Floyd-related videos) along with fellow Floydian Richard Wright, plus the guest vocals by David Crosby and Graham Nash along with David Bowie's appearance on a couple encores all fit in well.

Along with excerpts from "Dark Side of the Moon" and other standard Floyd fare, Gilmour's latest album "On an Island" was performed in its entirety, and some of the his/Floyd's less performed works were also presented to great effect. My personal favorite on this disc is "Echos" which simply blew me away.

The bonus tracks were quite good and the tour documentary video was generally interesting if a bit rambling. All in all a great package and one which will never spend very long on my shelf gathering dust. My only gripe (and it's only here in the tiny hope that concert video editors might read it) is the usual penchant of concert video editors to over-edit with way too many cuts and too many extreme close-ups, making it impossible for the viewer to truly get a feel as to what the actual stage show looked like.
