askbob1 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 for all of you floyd heads out there(indy, etc), here is another good one to add to your collection! gilmour's 'live in gdansk' is basically the same song list as the 'live at royal albert hall' set, with the exception of a few different tunes. there is a symphony orchestra on the sidelines as well. i got the 4 disc set which includes 2 dvd's, and 2 cd's($40). the first dvd is the entire concert. the second dvd is some of the same songs performed elsewhere. the second dvd disc also includes a dts 5.1 surround (audio only) version of the album 'on an island'. the best part of the second dvd, atleast in my opinion, are the three jam sessions recorded in an old renovated barn turned studio. you see some really great shots of everyone having a genuine good time, including the late richard wright. the two cd's are and added bonus with all of the concert on them. the video is very good and sound is also very good in dolby d.

RichardP Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I made the same post on AVSForum in the surround audio section, after I saw it advertised. Where did you get your copy? I will get it just for the 5.1 OAI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpines Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Gdansk, Albert Hall,and especially Meltdown are an absolute joy to behold. Gilmour is one of the worlds premier rock guitar players. On these videos he's performing at the beginning of the twilight of his career, completely at peace with himself and his music. I get goose bumps every time I watch them.

I feel that when I watch the the Pulse DVD. From a superficial search, I found the lowest price for the 4 disc set at Amazon; $33 w/free shipping. I eagerly await.

I get goose bumps every time I watch them. same opinion here. i think the albert hall dvd is probably the pinacle of gilmour's twilight. for me, it is a real treat every time i watch that one. goose bumps for sure. ole dave's voice just never gets old! but then neither does the guitar playing. you can really tell all of the people involved in that band lineup are all enjoying themselve as well. hopefully he gets back to the states so i can see with my own two eyes.

magnum29 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Some easter eggs; info from a fan site. I hope to get the cd/dvd set soon: From a fan site, about easter eggs(hidden extras):"According to Wiki, there are hidden Easter Eggs on the two DVDs:1)Play the "Gdansk Diary", at the very end (after the credits) theWireman will appear, when he does - click your "Enter" button to seemore from the documentary2) On Disc 3 (the Gdansk concert DVD),go to Track Selection and hover the cursor over "Echoes", after a whileit will begin to blink, when it does hit "Enter" on your remotecontrol. This will lead to a video of David and Rick explaining to therest of the band how Echoes was written. 3) Another hiddenextra lies behind Barn Jam 166. On the main menu of Disc 4 go to[Performances] > [Next] and highlight "Barn Jam 166", then hit theleft-directional button on your remote control this will take you toanother menu asking if you want subtitles or not. This is a video ofDave and Rick talking about jamming at The Barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
