"The Music Legend Gilmour
brings to the attention of the World and Europe the
shipyard legend of August '80." – Lech Walesa,
Former President of Poland.
"I learned English from Pink Floyd albums. Their albums
were cool and the price of any was half of my parents'
monthly wages. This Gdańsk concert? Fantastic!"
– Radek Sikorski, Defence Minister.
"For a teenager in the Seventies, Pink Floyd meant
freedom. Now Gilmour fills in 'The Space of Freedom'.
He remains himself, he's faithful to his art, and
that's why he's great." – Jaroslaw Sellin, Deputy
Minister of Culture.
"This year, Gilmour played a great concert of great music." –
Bogdan Lis, Solidarity representative for the signing of August
'80 treaty.
"I've listened to the music from CDs. Going to the concert,
I didn't expect that for me and my wife it was going to be
such an experience. The concert was fantastic, the best I've
ever been to." – Marek Kaminski, North Pole explorer.

"These days nobody plays
like David Gilmour. He's interested only in his fans
– the ones who came to listen to his voice and
his guitar...an audience of more than 50,000 strong.
"Gilmour allowed the music to speak. He plays peacefully,
hypnotizing his audiences with poetic guitar solos.
The 20-minute-long suite 'Echoes' was beautifully
enriched by Wright.
"There was a special dedication for Solidarity, stressing
the participation of Leszek Mozdzer and Zbigniew Preisner.
Gilmour played 'A Great Day For Freedom', the anthem of freedom,
which was absolutely suitable for the August events in Gdańsk
Shipyard."
The
Guardian (Monday 28th)
(Monday 28th) [Poland]
"David Gilmour – the voice
and guitar of Pink Floyd – played for slightly
more than three hours at Gdańsk Shipyard to celebrate the
26th anniversary of signing the August treaty between
Solidarity and the Polish government.
"Last year we saw Jean Michel Jarre's pompous show,
with speeches by politicians. Gilmour, the naturally
born rockman, was not buttering up the audience (neither
in standing nor seating VIP sections) as he concentrated
solely on his music. The sound of his guitar, his
vocals and also those of Richard Wright leave no doubt
that they both were and are the key musicians of Pink
Floyd.
"Gilmour, dressed in black T-shirt and black
jeans, was not showing off his guitar skills – the
way he plays guitar is in a class of its own.
The most important thing is that he was bringing emotions
that were transmitted to his fans gathered
at the Shipyard."
