David Gilmour in Royal Albert Hall - The Blue

[F3FisGoodforYou]

This DVD is one of the best live DVD I've ever seen (the best being Alchemy from dire straits :-)

[90Brahamabull]

Personally I think this is one of the best song of the album. What about the other two Gilmour's solo album? Are they good as this one?

[iLoveMyPiano73]

It comes from heaven....

[MrAugustus88]

It took Gilmour twelve years since the Division bell in 1994 to compose only five good progg songs 'on an island', 'the blue', 'smile', 'a pocketfull of stones' and 'Where we start'. Why only five songs in twelve years ? And what is he doing since 2006 ie another five years ?

[jakeyboy2929]

anyone know what settings he uses on the digitech whammy?

[randomtwit]

Simply the best living guitarist of any genre

[clebermorellato]

this guitar solo makes me cry!!!

[tymarq]

Joe satriani uses the digitech whammy to get some really cool tones also!!

[Petrick320]

@tymarq Joe satriani is goor, but Gilmour is GOD

[Thielen77]

[nameless989]

i wonder if David even realizes how great his music he writes is and how affected the listener is by what he probably made up like nothin.lol...

[mrkroeger]

This is an amaising song and album. To bad american music marketing machine blocked this from us...we have to search this out on our own,,,I'll do it every day to keep from hearing bieber

[sugarandwine]

DITTO...Nancyneptune!!!!!

[bearboneskentuck]

[ander211000]

[elise754]

I cannot stop watching it and the CD is awesome! Have 2...one in my CD player in the car and one in my Bose at home!

[jacksonf77]

Pure genuis!!!

[bikerbp]

david gilmore is like a good wine in that he gets better with age

[omarokasha]

@bikerbp I was just trying to say that to a friend

[honeydog4]

the best

[balleclorin2]

amazing

[bluesrock1000]

Art!

[minotipo16]

The solo is just magic !! what a feeling !!

[MrAugustus88]

It took David 12 years to record 'On an island.' ' The Divison bell' was in 1994 when i was in school. When will David record another album, fifty years later ?? Meanwhile disco and rap crap is being promoted constantly for the past thirty years. Crosby and Graham are not getting any younger, Rick Wright has sadly died.

[JohnSkywalker]

I'm one of the biggest Roger Waters' fans, but I have to admit that "On An Island" is such a great record.Better then the "Momentary" and "Division" stuff. "Remember that Night" and the "Blue" are gonna haunt me 'til the end of my life.

[Td5forever]

Crosby,Nash & GILMOUR? WOW MAN!!!!!

I mean THREE gods on one stage together?????

[dirtydave37049]

Sean 57 said it!!!I'm very lucky to have been able to have the experience! Pink Floyd is a high beyond drugs!

[TheMilltowncommunity]

Truly chillout spine tingling use of selected hair standing toned notes, sit back and imagine yourself in a boat watching blue whales breaching , tail out of water ,then diving deep , or dolphins under water,This has got to accompany a David Attenborough underwater film !!!!

[VooDooChild1993]

Never mind just saw the whammy pedal

[VooDooChild1993]

Whats he using on the solo? Octave pedal or something?

[sean57]

as good as it gets...........

im glad to have lived through the spectrum of the floyd and their solo entrys.  shine on you diamonds

[dirtydave37049]

Richard was loving it in this concert-R.I.P our brother

[kalungarocker]

Rick, we miss you! Beautiful performance, unforgettable!!!

[nancyneptune]

omg, omg, such a beautiful song. That guitar gives me chills. To think that this video has only had 33,000 views tells me that either people are really stupid and unappreciative of great music, or they just aren't hearing what I'm hearing.

Amazing to the core.

[nyses]

@nancyneptune People suck! They have no idea how good this really is.

[waylo4526]

@nancyneptune i totally hear what you hear...tooo beautiful for words,want that special lady to hold and slowly dance to this in the starry ,moonlit night

[chrisdgoldie]

David Gilmour uses that Digitech Whammy pedal better than anybody else I've heard use it.

[unmensunshne]

i reckon he uses the whole guitar better than anyone ive heard play including the whammy..GOD'S GUITARIST.

[whathappenedyo]

@chrisdgoldie satrinai uses it the best ive ever seen anyone. look at joe satriani "searching"

[spaden2112]

@chrisdgoldie Agree sir. He has so much control over every aspect of his guitar and rig.

[Td5forever]

Gilmour refers to Sib Barrett I think,as Waters says after shine on you crazy Diamond"That was for Sid,who we miss very much!"

[Td5forever]

The world obviously without the incredible Talents of Mr Gilmour and Mr Waters would never have been the same!

[Loyalbrox]

Cheers. Where did you get that info from, does Gilmour mention this in the CD-booklet ?

[Loyalbrox]

When Gilmour says "It's about how friends live on in your memory after they've gone..." - does he refer to "On an Island" or "The Blue" ?

[acpretz]

He is talking about "On an Island".

[Kozanecke]

who knows who he meant everybody has an island and blue thoughts that music will take anybody some places who knows where in my opinion the whole album is about passing to the other side of the river

[da87m]

@Kozanecke Now I get it, "The Blue", "Then I close my eyes", "Red Sky at Night"... Merry Christmas!

[sigloz]

please david..... dont die

[Reallifepoet23]

Absoulutely

[nancyneptune]

@sigloz I don't even want to think about it, I'd cry for weeks.

Same with Justin Hayward, it would break my heart to pieces.

[startoer]

The guitar is like an extension of of his own self,,,artist as hell..........

[Reallifepoet23]

Gilmour in a video interview awhile back said exactly that. "It an extension of your vocal cords and thoughts and feelings it reaches where words cannot"

[MrAugustus88]

What was Gilmour doing from 1994 'Division bell' to 2006 ' on an island' 12 years ? Why not record masterpieces during those 12 years ?

[imagine9384]

Love this. What a peaceful song.

[Fernonodon]

...some guitarists make music while others make noise...Gilmour, truly one of the best...EVER!!!!

[route1box43]

Rick Wright's illness was quick and took most everyone by surprise. Still, to echoe some comments made previously (no pun), it is obvious that Dave is a very gentle and kind individual and that he thoroughly enjoyed having rick on the tour.

As for their music over the course of my life, it remains my identity.

[Reallifepoet23]

100% no doubt you speak the truth.

[JWBails]

prefer the Gdansk version :)

[route1box43]

What can I say: Gilmour!

[sebaindamix]

Incredible song. Simple, understated, and beautiful

[ppluz1020]

la verdad es que no se como no han ganado mas premios con su musica, simplemente no lo entiendo. Ahora Rick y Syd estan con el Gran Maestro

[guitarprism]

gilmour's guitar note's pierce the heart, fan-bloody-tastic.He's a genius

[ALBE0Q]

Pure Heaven

[jonnybraindead]

tsssssssss!!

solos como el de the blue solo lo hacen los que en realidad saben toquar, y no me refiero a dificultad si no alo que en realidad cuenta, al sentimiento y armonia al tocar que pocos guitarristas lo tienen, y david es en realidad la exepcion , mi guitarrista favorito , no solo por como toca, si no por su gran trajectoria y su nose qu que tiene XD al crear su musica, es simplemente fantastica desde el division bell todo cambio para bien, tambien pink floyd fue buena banda.muy buena!

[wantedbythefbi]

Now , that's the way you play a guitar !

[gucardona]

David is using a whammy?????

[logeybear5150]

he mustv only started using it on the " on an island" album, maybey he'll use it a bit more on his next album.....nice to see his experimenting with some new gear

[napnap1234]

No, he's used the Whammy before, on Division Bell. The song Marooned.

[Mowgli131]

i remember they showed part of this concert on BBC. It was about 10:00 in the night, and when this came on...i nearly fell asleep it was soooo soothing

[proyectometanoia]

a living legend!

[edercabron]

csn

[paramedic6801]

Yes indeed, Sam Brown is a helluva singer and also a hottie.lol This man is what got me to playing guitar a long time ago. GILMOUR IS THE BEST!

[mooseman2468]

I'd rather have Sam Brown singing the backing vocals! what a babe!

[eshewerethin]

Yep, he makes that guitar talk

[VanGilmour]

God bless us all when Dave passes away. I will have to quit my job and move to his burial site with a box of tissues and an IPOD full of his wonderful beautiful music. He is and has always been the "Master" of music.His music toaches every part of my soul. I could not imagine my day without him.

[InformalisGluttonis]

I would hate it if it toached my soul.

[SnowyOwl1959]

Oh! please don't mention that event..it's gonna be like losing a part of ME!

[logeybear5150]

well, we have to accept his loss and move past it, and always remember him through his music, keep the image of him as he was here

[VanGilmour]

Wow, I think Dave Knew that Rick was in poor health. The comment at the opening of this video was just Blue for Rick.

This is the best Gilmour DVD that I have ever purchased. Buy it, get it, You must own it. I watch it everyday.

[logeybear5150]

yeh, theres something about him saying that about "on an island" that makes me think he knew something was not quite right with richard

[hylkeenteroittaja]

Rick wasn't sick for long, it was a surprise for everyone.

[Brrrrr43]

I think it was a shock and what a shame as he said in an interview he loved doing this tour with Dave and you can see it. Just watch them in Echoes..Great!!!Who thought it would be their last together. Well I hope Dave pulls himself together and with that band does a few more shows. Now Daves 63yrs. old I don't want it to stop

[SRone45]

Why do most of the good ones die?

[Brrrrr43]

I wish I knew, all I know is that the music that they gave us at least in my opinion, has brought me a lot of joy,

[NewHopeNashFan]

Behold three who haven't -- the great Gilmour, the formidable Crosby and the archangelic Nash, A stunning song... it comes over you in waves like Radiohead's latest.

[SRone45]

They survived the 60's and 70's...

[rennaps]

Apparently Dave's guitar strap was originally owned by Jimi Hendrix....

[rennaps]

The great gig in the sky...!

[subwoofer1975]

thanks rick master of atmosfheres ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[rennaps]

R.I.P Rick Wright, play that great gig in the sky.....

[discosrynmexico]

David Gilmour, en que atmosfera te proyecta con su musica. Increible, el mejor guitarrista por mucho. UNICO.

[rulas12]

Que canción tan chingona, Gilmour es fuera de serie

[lillybomb]

This whole DVD is awesome. I bought it on line and have never been happier with a purchase! It is awesome!

[SnowyOwl1959]

STUNNED! thank you! i can't beleive this ...AWESOME!

[SnowyOwl1959]

OMG! this is even better than the vid i already downloaded! FUCKIN AWESOME!

[dalmeg]

After hearing this song I went out and bought a red Digitech Whammy pedal. Sounds great. Dave is the best

[dalisnightmare]

He should teach herman li how to use a whammy pedal...LOOOL...this music is so inspiring...it's inredible, I play guitar in a metal band and Gilmour is my main influence, as a composer and as a guitar player...

[pasqualeisoldi77]

siete grandi la storia del rock

[finkployd1971]

The Greatest song I've ever heard to date from Pink Floyd

[Area5107]

This is not a Pink Floyd song, its a David Gilmour song, its off his solo album.

[finkployd1971]

Wow I have found new music I didn't know exsisted. What a treat I am in Heaven! Thanks to You Tube this is all possible!

[TheConquistor]

you know the most intellegent people are the ones who wouldnt talk or reply to someone like rabidsenses or fableaxeman07 : ) the best don't have the time to do that!

[gilmour480]

5:21 LOL!! I love the face David! Fucking rock on dude!!!!

[Foodie88]

Haha! I remember I paused the DVD when I watched it on vacation when he made that face.

[fabledaxeman07]

my comment below was a reply to Rabidsenses' ridiculous statement marked as spam a little further down just in case anyone was wondering what the fuck I was going on about! lol!

Gilmour rocks!!!

[fabledaxeman07]

what a fucking bizarre statement???

how dare you utter David's name amongst such twisted sentiment?

if you truly believe that shit you are a fool!

and if you think you are funny then you really are an idiot!

either way you are a sad and warped individual.

[Rabidsenses]

Gilmour is exemplary of epic musicianship and has a deft hand in the creation of music that is original, both in its concept and execution.

You, sir, need to quite literally "chill out."

Seriously.

It's a sense of humour. Just having fun. so just calm down, you typically undereducated, spineless piece of limey trash.

[fabledaxeman07]

hilarious! that's all you got? and you got the cheek to call me undereducated!

why don't you show everybody how intelligent you are and insult me properly!

and leave my country out of it this time, having a pop at someone's nationality is pretty low mate. You are clearly an articulate person so why let yourself down?

come on, you can do better than that.

[Rabidsenses]

Metaphorically walking onto a YouTube board and slagging someone who was using jousting symbolism to celebrate an artist who is adored here seems to be at best disingenuous, and, what is more, absolutely misdirected.

You misfired. You were given an epic linguistic nuke and you responded with a nervous laugh that says you haven't any grounds to defend yourself and your raining on otherwise sunny days.

That, dear sir, has been your misstep.

(was I supposed to defer to your level of education?)

[fabledaxeman07]

that's more like it, I really enjoyed reading that! brilliant!

In fact, you have such a way with words, maybe you should write a song for our beloved Dave.

I am curious about that weird ass comment that you made though, what was all that "Christian evangelicals burn in Hell regardless ..." shit about anyway mate? why would you say something like that and think it's funny?

[Rabidsenses]

I apologize if that offended you.

I intended it for the greater good, for the enjoyment of the greatest numbers.

But I never really intended to single out someone and insult him/her.

If you were offended by the line about Christians then please accept my apologies.

[fabledaxeman07]

Fair play mate, on hindsight I probably shouldn't have acted on impulse like that and started on you so, for that, I too apologise.

It was however, in part, well worth it though, just for that line about raining on otherwise sunny days, that's a classic... I'll never forget that one!

You got style mate, respect to ya!

Peace out.

[Rabidsenses]

You be good to yourself.

It was fun crashing our ships in the night. Much better sometimes than the usual pass by in the night.

[letargic4]

GRACIAS por subir este video.

[slivercord]

i was hoping to see david performing on a island in a show!!!..its not gonna happend!

[cocacolaloca]

las palomas vuelven al nido mas temprano que el sol

[alonsopage]

On an Island is one of the best albums I could ever heard, kind of cannabis album.

Orgasmic.

[abhifloyd85]

awesome song!! Great harmonizing by the singers!! Gilmour's god!!

[jjwonputt]

Got STRAT? Oh Yahhh!

[TomGreenUK]

Those two are fucking ace singers.

[Foodie88]

You're right! They are David Crosby and Graham Nash from Crosby Stills and Nash.

[dawleypaul]

Great harmony. And as 3.20 what can you say. The best there is in the world by far. This is a beautiful song. Thanks for the post.

[adrianjemond]

great solo

[yorkie1954]

I heard this once and it completely captivated me......brilliant!

[DBollich]

I heard this song a few weeks ago and fell in love with it immediatly. It's simple, but it touches! Great!

[dabuggerr]

this is awesome
