COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE ‘DAVID GILMOUR LIVE IN GDANSK’ – DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM AND CONCERT DVD
Available on September 23, 2008
FEATURING PINK FLOYD SONGS NEVER PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA
David Gilmour said of the Gdansk concert:
“This was the first time I have played in Poland and it was a thrill to be there helping to mark one of the most important anniversaries in recent European history. The Gdansk shipyard is a deeply symbolic place and it was an honour to perform our music in such a historic space. It was particularly exciting to have my friend Zbigniew Preisner there conducting the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and to be able to perform my album for the first time as it was intended”
The double live album ‘David Gilmour Live In Gdansk’, produced by David Gilmour and Phil Manzanera, features the Gdansk concert and demonstrates a musician and his band playing at the very peak of their musical brilliance. The album features arguably definitive performances of classic Pink Floyd songs such as Echoes, High Hopes, Comfortably Numb, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, and Wish You Were Here – it is difficult to see how these powerful performances could be bettered.
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.
