Product Description

Until We Sleep -- All Lovers Are Deranged -- There s No Way Out Of Here -- Short And Sweet (with Roy Harper) -- Run Like Hell -- Out Of The Blue -- Blue Light -- Murder -- Comfortably Numb (with Nick Mason) - recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, London, April 30, 1984 David Gilmour (vocals, guitar), Gregg Dechart (keyboards), Mickey Feat (bass), Jody Linscott (percussion), Mick Ralphs (guitar), Raff Ravenscroft (reeds), Chris Slade (drums), feat. Roy Harper (vocals) Nick Mason (drums) David Gilmour counts to one of the few world famous guitar players whose impact lies beyond handicraft. As a member of Pink Floyd which delivered exaggeratedly speaking the soundtrack of a decade he was so to speak a part of the musical nobleness. With his spherical guitar-playing and his deep voice he shaped decisive the sound image of the band. The magazine Guitarist voted him as the best Fender-players of all times even before heroes such as Jimi Hendrix. In March 1984 David Gilmour released his second solo album About Face and at the end of the month went on a three month long tour through Great Britain and the USA. He is the musical head of Pink Floyd but not an entertainer and also not very chatty and that is something that can barely be disguised. There is no doubt that Gilmour is a highly gifted musician, singer and songwriter.

Customer Reviews

Um..err...not what I expected...
Well, well well, who'd have thought it, Amazon selling bootlegs!

This is a truly excellent piece of footage from back in the days of the good old mullet hair cut (check out the keyboard player). A piece of what can only have been part of an official recording that never made the light of day until now. I was expecting a one shot view from somewhere in the audience for the entirety of the show, but what I got was multi-camera shots from all over the stage and arena. There were cameras up Gilmour's trouser leg, close-ups on the keyboards and drummer and generally good all round camera work.

The quality of this recording is somewhat marred by the fuzziness around the edges, it looks like a video recording that has been copied time and time again until you get to the point where the picture has lost its sharpness and colour. That aside, this is one piece of footage that most Floyd fans should not be without, a great recording from the "dark ages" of the middle '80's featuring material from Gilmour's (at the time) two solo albums David Gilmour and About Face and a drop in appearance by Roy Harper on Short and Sweet - excellent!

Don't be without - it's a real gem.

if you are a floyd fan, buy it now !
excelent perfomance of a live concert by david gilmour, originally it appear on an oficial vhs video released by CBS on 1985, do not miss this dvd edition, probably it will not last...
it is a shame that the quality of the picture is poor, seems like a bad transfer from the original vhs
I own the oficial vhs and the picture is much better, there exists some editions on dvd of the original 1985 VHS, but all of them have in common the bad picture, the quality can be different from an edition to another but allways it is not as the original
anyway buy it
