David Gilmour: In Concert Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Stu-42 I'm giving this a 5 not because it was mediocre per se, but rather because compared to the Pink Floyd I know and love it was very disappointing. I was all ready to enjoy a different kind of experience from the great Gilmour when about 2 songs in I realized something was wrong. He was taking awesome music and making it depressing. The whole wonderful point of Pink Floyd was to create a feeling of being mesmerized by the delicious sounds of the unique band. Mellow music in some cases, on the fringe of sadness at times, but never boring or generic. Of course there was some fun in seeing him perform some of the classics, but it almost always ended up leaving me cold. I also wasn't impressed by that French song and even the special features were at best mildly interesting. Sorry, but go ahead and pick up the Pompeii disc instead, you'll get much more of what you really want.
Claudio Carvalho A good lecture must begin approaching some very interesting subject, or a joke, to catch the attention of the audience. I believe the same principle applies to the opening of a concert. In this regard, David Gilmour almost spoils a great concert with an awful presentation of the wonderful "Shine on You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5", with a very cheap and boring lonely solo. In this moment, I was completely disappointed with the DVD. Fortunately, he seems to be only warming-up for a great presentation.Listening to the songs of Syd Barrett, and the most of the classics of Pink Floyd sang in the soft and beautiful voice of David Gilmour worth the show. I loved also Caroline Dale, magnificently playing the cello. The singers are efficient as usual in a Pink Floyd concert, only in a higher number (twelve, I guess). I personally did not like the narrative of "Confortably Numb" made by a guy in a wheelchair, in the Melldown Concert; and Bob Geldof reading the text, in the Royal Festival Hall Concert 2002, disappointed me a lot. I am Brazilian and I know the lyrics by heart, and the guy needs to read them? Further, lasting the arrangement of the song, extending the compass to change the guitar to an electric guitar is also very unusual in a live presentation. David Gilmour singing in French is also weird. The DVD has lots of Extras and I believe no fan will be disappointed with its content. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "David Gilmour in Concert"
SomeTrendyName Being a fan of Pink Floyd, and a fan of the incredibly underrated guitarist that is David Gilmour. I naturally had to go pick it up, It is a fantastic DVD, It has some of the greatest Floyd songs Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1 and 2, comfortably numb, wish you were here. The additional material like the Syd Barrett songs are excellent, even some of the other songs that were not as good as the Floyd material, Gilmour stills tackles them with impressive vocals and always impressive guitar playing.If you enjoy David Gilmours Work, and your a Pink Floyd fan, and you don't own this go and get it I've had it for a couple days and I'm on my fourth viewing-Great purchase.
Jim Ruddy (ruddy_jim) I bought this DVD on faith in one of my favorite Guitarists in the world. At first I was taken aback. The concert starts with David, standing alone on stage noodling around on an acoustic guitar, and he works his way into Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 1. OK, at this point I was enjoying the show fine, but it wasn't what I expected. Then the sax player came on stage and put goose bumps down my back. Not only is Mr Gilmour awesome, but every musician that appears on stage with David throughout this show is incredible.The concert starts mellow and soft, builds to the climax (With Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part II) then ends with a very mellow Hush-a-bye Mountain. High points include the George Bizet tune and the home video on the extra's portion of the DVD.This is not a renter - if you're a David Gilmour fan, buy it and watch it over and over again.
