We have been running a number
of extracts from the Remember That Night
DVD, including David's EPK (Electronic Press Kit).
Produced for media broadcast around the world, it
features a brand-new interview with David and, of
course, many extracts of performances from the Albert
Hall, including On An Island, Then I Close
My Eyes, Smile, and Wish You Were
Here.
David is viewed in his home studio, talking with
candour about his feelings for the 2006 tour from
a current perspective. All the usual suspects are
included, from lighting genius Marc Brickman to
special guests Crosby & Nash, Robert Wyatt,
and the enigma that is David Bowie.
The next extract shows the opening
sequence, featuring backstage footage and the
imposing frontage of the Royal Albert Hall itself,
over Speak To Me. Just like the concert
itself, this segues into Breathe, in
which David introduces the song on lap steel
guitar before switching to his iconic black
Stratocaster as the vocals enter.
Please check out the following
sample clips from Remember That Night
high quality streams, with good renditions of the
amazing High Definition masters.
The final extract
from the concert DVD is the full version of
Fat Old Sun.
A longtime favourite of many Floyd
fans, Fat Old Sun is one of David's songs from
the Atom Heart Mother album, an opus that was
Pink Floyd's first UK Number One album. It has since
been eclipsed in the critical view by subsequent albums
such as Meddle and the twin peaks of The
Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here,
but it can bear a re-evaluation.
You can choose between the vinyl side-long title track
or separate vocal vignettes penned by band individuals,
including the charming Summer '68 by Richard
Wright, and David's Fat Old Sun, plus of course
the adventure in stereo sound effects that is Alan's
Psychedelic Breakfast.
David's live version ups the ante from the original
with a blistering Telecaster workout to bring the
song to a close, but in the vocal sections reveals
he has lost nothing of his affecting vocal abilities
in the intervening years.
