Live in Gdansk 2 CD + 1 DVD

‘David Gilmour Live In Gdansk’, the first solo live album from Pink Floyd’s singer / guitarist, captures the magic of his concert held in front of 50,000 in the Gdansk shipyards, the final performance of his critically acclaimed 2006 ‘On An Island tour’. It also features the first ever recording of selected Pink Floyd classics performed with an orchestra.

Playing with Gilmour at this historic concert was his band of world renowned musicians: Richard Wright – Pink Floyd’s keyboard player , Phil Manzanera – Roxy Music guitarist and co-producer of On An Island, Guy Pratt – bass player with Pink Floyd and Roxy Music, Jon Carin – keyboards and longtime player with Pink Floyd, Steve Di Stanislao – drums, recently played with Crosby and Nash, Dick Parry – saxophone and longtime Pink Floyd collaborator.

The six piece band is accompanied for the only time on the ‘On An Island tour’ by an orchestra: the 40-strong string section of the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Zbigniew Preisner, orchestral arranger on David Gilmour’s critically acclaimed solo album, “On An Island”. It is the first ever live recording with an orchestra of Pink Floyd’s ‘High Hopes’ and ‘A Great Day For Freedom’, the latter performed here as a one-off for this special Solidarity anniversary.
