Why this recording

At 2:15, David Bowie joins the stage for “Arnold Layne”, then “Comfortably Numb”: he is one of the guests in this film drawn from “Remember That Night”, compiled from the nights of 29, 30 and 31 May 2006. David Crosby and Graham Nash add harmonies to “On an Island”, “The Blue” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, and Robert Wyatt plays cornet on “Then I Close My Eyes”. “Echoes” stretches over some twenty minutes from 1:45. The video is the official film, reposted by a fan channel.

Filmed live concert by David Gilmour at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2006, part of the touring cycle around his album On an Island. The Pink Floyd guitarist and singer showcases his fluid phrasing and soulful solos across solo material and reworked Floyd pieces. The polished capture highlights the London hall’s acoustics and the presence of longtime foil Richard Wright on keyboards. Soaring guitar tones, organ pads and patient dynamics make this full concert feel like a journey. A reference for fans of progressive rock and expressive electric guitar, best enjoyed in full. Keywords: David Gilmour live, Royal Albert Hall 2006, Pink Floyd, filmed live concert, full concert, progressive rock.
