Opis: "The Voice And Guitar Of Pink Floyd", it proclaims on the sleeve.
It's a deeply emotive subject, Pink Floyd. Since the triumphant Live8 appearance, promoters have been waving enormous cheque books at the band, hoping to tempt the two camps into some kind of salaried, enormous tour of the worlds megastadiums for hyper profit.
What "Remember This Night" proves is that talent cannot always be bought. Despite the lure of touring under the Floyd name (which would have been an easy cashcow) and coasting on former glories, Gilmour chose to put this venture out under his own name, which, given the intimately personal nature of the accompanying record ("On An Island"), is only appropriate. Also, the tour is accompanied with an album of new material . No nostalgia smash'n'grab from the artistically bankrupt here.
Captured over three nights in London at the conclusion of the tour, the DVD documents, as best as one can, the exact emotional temperature of those shows. Musically Gilmour and his band (comprising 71.4% of the most recent touring lineup of Pink Floyd : only a second guitarist and that all important drum stool differ) are a precise unit - the music is fluid and faithful to the spirit of the recorded versions, the band are able to improvise and follow the muse of the moment, and to all intents and purposes, this is the closest thing you will come to Pink Floyd.
Na pierwszej płycie zestawu znalazł się filmowany 23 kamerami, niesamowicie oświetlony i entuzjastycznie oceniony przez krytyków koncert Davida Gilmoura, na którym usłyszymy materiał z bestsellerowego albumu On An Island, a także wielkie przeboje Pink Floyd, m.in. High Hopes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb oraz pierwsze sfilmowane (od Live at Pompeii) wykonanie na żywo utworu Echoes - dwudziestominutowego majstersztyku Pink Floyd. Druga płyta DVD pełna jest rarytasów i niepublikowanego wcześniej materiału, takiego jak 46 minutowy film Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine, nakręcony podczas trasy koncertowej w 2006 roku. Do tego dodatkowe utwory z Royal Albert Hall, pierwsze wykonanie Gilmoura legendarnych utworów Syda Barretta - Dark Globe i Astronomy Domine z Live From Abbey Road, akustyczny występ dla AOL zarejestrowany w Los Angeles, pięć utworów z koncertu w BBC Mermaid Theatre oraz pięciominutowy dokument z pobytu zespołu w Los Angeles, a także galeria zdjęć (w tym fotografie ekipy koncertowej autorstwa Polly Samson). Ponad pięć godzin materiału filmowego!
