David Gilmour's EPK (Electronic Press
Kit), produced for media broadcast around the world,
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 candor 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.
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 is the full version of Fat
Old Sun.
A longtime favorite 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.
