Summary: Better than Satriani, Clapton, Dimeola , Santana . : GILMOUR
Review: I think this guy is the best guitarist in this world. The sound of his guitars is incredible. It's a real pleasure : acoustic and electric , the work is perfect.
If you need action and power PULSE is the best concert of all time, but if you prefer feeling and blues , this live is for you.
David if you read this review, you must know that you gave pleasure to millions people around the world since your fisrt album with PINK FLOYD, thank you very much.
Your modesty must be an exemple for all the artists ( and for Roger Waters for sure).
I am a french man and I cried when I listened to your song of Bizet :YOU ARE THE BEST !!!
The sound and video quality of this dvd is EXELLENT.

My personal preference is your extra with Mica Paris : for all the professionals of electric blues , I really think that are better than all the other guitarists. I love Clapton, BB King , SRV ... but I have never heard a sound so clean and beautiful...

Thanks a lot, David . I hope that you will do ohter concert like this and other dvds.

Summary: Rock and Roll Guitar God
Review: The real talent behind Pink Floyd? You be the judge. Everyone seems to give Roger Waters the nod. And I'm not here to take anything away from Waters. He is a very talented lyricist, and was definitely a very bold, creative force behind the huge success of Pink Floyd. But watching this DVD, and seeing Gilmour do what he does with those guitars of his, and hearing his effortlessly recreated renditions of some classic Floyd tunes, tells me that at least musically this is the person responsible for the band's popularity. He is a fantastic guitarist and is responsible for writing and playing some of my favorite songs of all time (i.e. Shine On, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, etc.) I have to admit that it is a bit disconcerting to see David Gilmour looking more like your dad than the Rock and Roll Guitar God that he is. But as soon as you hear him strum those familiar tunes, and hear that soothing voice of his, it doesn't matter. I agree with the previous reviewer though ... he could have dressed a little more for the occasion. But the bottom line is, he knew that he didn't need to. Once the first note was played no one would be paying any attention to anything else anyway. Although laid back, this is a great DVD and full of some great music. If I lost it I would buy it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: Not much to say, except that this is a superb production, I have watched it repeatedly. Excellent musicianship.

Not only is the concert good, there are a few extra songs thrown in that are good. Note that on "Don't", Gilmour is playing what I believe to be the oldest known Fender Telecaster (Broadcaster?) You know he's liking THAT!

Anyway, this is a no-brainer. Buy.

-=-=-=-
Keep in mind that this isn't Pink Floyd. It's David Gilmour. Not the same thing. If you're expecting Pink Floyd, move on.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nearly perfect
Review: This DVD is wonderful - tons of songs, some guest appearances (Robert Wyatt, Bob Geldof, Richard Wright, Dick Parry), and a great variety of supporting musicians. The songs were performed very well, with some highlights being Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (both parts), High Hopes, and A Great Day for Freedom.
Although David Gilmour is ranked among the highest of guitarists, you can tell that his age is starting to show; in my personal opinion, he's past his guitar playing prime, which I consider to have been during the Division Bell tours (as displayed on PULSE). Also, taking the place of Roger Waters on Comfortably Numb were Bob Geldof and Robert Wyatt, who didn't do well enough of a job the way I see it. I mean, Robert Wyatt needing a sheet of paper for the words I can understand, but Bob Geldof? (In case you don't know, Geldof played the character "Pink" in Pink Floyd's "The Wall.) It's really not that much to memorize, and he must have heard the song millions of times since its release. And playing Pink just should have been enough for him to know the words... but now I'm just ranting on about a small detail.
All in all, its a great DVD. It has it's downsides, but the rest really helps hold it up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pink Floyd - Unplugged
Review: Firstly I will say that I am a Pink Floyd fan of all eras and had the pleasure to see Roger Waters - In The Flesh concert when he was in Australia.

I was disaponted when I bought the Roger Waters - In The Flesh DVD because I felt it failed to capture the atmosphere as when I saw him live in concert.

So I was a bit hesitant in buying this DVD when I first heard about it. After reading several reviews I was intrigued - David playing Pink Floyd songs unplugged as well as Syd Barrett songs and one song from Rick Wrights album Broken China.

A few warnings to people considering buying this DVD:

. Don't expect lasers, floating pigs, fireworks. This is David playing in small scale venue in some cases entirely on his own.

. This is David Gilmour in concert not Pink Floyd so the selection of Pink Floyd songs he has selected to play mostly are from the album The Division Bell and some PF classics such as Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-4 and 5-8.

I love this DVD and have watched it over and over and over. David proves what a phenominal guitar player he is and that his voice and guitar were the musical strength of Pink Floyd. To hear
songs like Fat Old Sun, Dominoes and Terrapin played live are
a treat to the ears.

Davids interpretation of playing PF songs and the songs of other artists accoustically is very creative and works very well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: To that person with dissapointment:
Review: You seem very concerned about the bass player's fingernails, is that something you;d like to share with us?

You said " I was horrified to see my hero(s) look so human"

You are not a pink floyd fan but an everyday moron, give your collection to someone who deserves it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: you stupid cranky, you don't even know the members of one

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IGNORE THE ONE STAR REVIEWS THIS IS A CLASSIC
Review: THIS IS A GREATDVD FROM DAVID GILMOUR AND IS VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.DISREGARD THE ONE STAR REVIEWS.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: (Un)comfortably numb...
Review: about sums up how you'll feel after suffering this less than stellar cd (I hear gilsnore was or wasn't a member of arcadia - don't care/doesn't matter, he's no good in either case...try listening to Terry Kath and Phil Keaggy, GREAT guitarists). The only stars to mention are the ones you'll see after your ears slap you silly for subjecting them to this. Not recommended. Ignore all five star reviews (both of them).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT GILMOUR DVD
Review: THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DVD'S FEATURING ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS GILMOUR WHO PERFORMS ALL THE GREAT FLOYD SONGS.I WOULD RECOMMENDED THIS AWESOME DVD TO EVERYONE.FIVE STARS.
