Literally worth five times the price and an equal in it's own way to PULSE, with intimacy and a freer feel offsetting the more minimal lighting (although enormously impressive in its own right.)

As the other reviewers have given an accurate overview I'll just mention one cut, that being "Comfortably Numb," which you and I know every second of by heart, it's in our blood.

This performance features David Bowie sharing lead vocals. Now the idea of anyone but Mr. Gilmour taking over vocals on this song is enough to make my hair catch on fire, but THIS WORKS. It actually becomes a Bowie song while remaining a Floyd epoch. It's thrilling, it's almost dreamlike to watch a singer of equal caliber and credibility to Mr. Gilmour share this song and to take it's inherent drama and mystery to another level entirely.

The DVD also points out what a superb disc "On An Island" is, sadly overlooked by too many Floyd fans for not being heavy enough (man.)

And it's in high def - you can almost reach out and shake Rick Wright's hand.

Extras are top flight, set is an incredible bargain and you'll have trouble turning it off and going to bed. Mr. Gilmour once again proves that he's in a class all by himself, a category of artist of which there is only one.

...AbsolutelyPositively Stunning!

Try not to sit there in complete awe as Gilmour and his band (and a few guests) flawlessly execute the entire ON AN ISLAND album, as well as a goodly portion of PF material that will have you scratching your head and saying to yourself...Hmmm...Waters / Gilmour...Gilmour / Waters...

I was a bit skeptical of this offering initially, and having seen Roger Waters and HIS band back in June, I was prepared to accept Gilmour's show as "another" in their little back and forth.

But I realize, and happily, that there's more than enough room for the two of them, and you can never get enough great music, no matter who's interpreting it.

The full-length ECHOES alone is worth the cost of this package.

What does that tell ya?

And when rock royalty (Gilmour) invites Rock Royalty (David Bowie) in to participate...you feel a bit privileged just to be a part of the action.

A stunning package and a must-have for any David Gilmour or PF fan.

One thing that does puzzle me tho' is this...why does he virtually ignore the first two solo records...DAVID GILMOUR and ABOUT FACE?

I'd love to hear anything from either of those two albums.

BUT.........I ain't complaining...jessaskin'...

...is all.

Enjoy.

Why in the hell do so many feel compelled to rip on one or the other? I saw Pink Floyd in Phoenix on their Division Bell Tour and then Waters in Vegas on his In the Flesh tour. Both of them are geniuses. Pure and simple.

Gilmour was recently voted "Best Guitarist of all time" by Guitar magazine, UK and desrves it. No one has a feel for lead guitar melody like him.

Waters is superb on lyrics and really knows how to put music together [listen to him and Jeff Beck on Amused to Death]. It just doesn't get any better. The fact that these two are no longer together does not mean one is a loser, or one is better, or any damn thing. It just means we now have two different sources of listening pleasure.

I knew this DVD would be great, but I had no idea it would be brilliant! As much as I liked Pulse, I like this show much better. I think I may have watched Echoes 20 times since I bought it. I couldn't believe it was only $12 bucks (Best Buy Version). I think David Gilmour is timeless. He sounds amazing after all these years. I don't think there is any doubt that he is one of the best Guitar players of our generation. I think almost every review I read said that Echoes alone makes the DVD worth buying and of course they are right. Rick Wright and David still harmonize beautifully together and Dave's guitar and Ricks Keyboards were amazing. I enjoyed all of the Documentary as well. Another highlight of the DVD was David's performance of "Dark Globe". I believe that it was Dave's tribute to Syd after he heard the news that Syd passed away. It was very emotional, you can see Syd Barrett meant a lot to Dave and it showed on that song. All in all, this DVD is spectacular and it is highly reccomended for all Floyd fans.

Well, initially I had a similar problem with this DVD that other reviewers were having since High Hopes and Coming Back To Life were skipping. However, I exchanged it and so far there aren't any problems. There must be a few defective DVDs out there. I still watched the rest of the defective DVD of course. Putting all that aside, this DVD is just incredible. I agree with some of the other reviewers that it is better than Pulse (which I also love). I feel in this DVD, you get a much clearer picture of what a brilliant guitarist and musician Gilmour is. He is one of the best guitar players ever and you get plenty of close ups of him playing the guitar. The focus is on Gilmour and the band playing the music instead of the visualization that exhibits Pulse. Yes, there are many lighting effects but I feel that they don't distract the viewer from the brilliance of the performance. The music is outstanding. Great performances of Time, Breathe, Echoes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, High Hopes, Coming Back To Life, Fat Old Sun, Arnold Layne, and On An Island in its entirety. This DVD even has alternate versions of most of the songs plus a great version of "Wots..Uh the Deal." While the album On An Island isn't as good as the best albums by Floyd, it is still a fantastic album and it is even better when Gilmour performs it live. A definite plus for this DVD is the fact that Gilmour had Wright with him so you get half of Pink Floyd performing. Those two have always been the best MUSICIANS in Pink Floyd anyway. Waters is a very gifted songwriter but I wouldn't call him an outstanding bassist since Gilmour played many of the complicated bass parts for many Floyd songs. Other highlights of this DVD include the tour documentary and the documentary of the making of On An Island. You even get to witness Gilmour and Waters talking to each other and shaking hands although they both looked a little uncomfortable. Mason even has a cameo apperance. I also must add that you get to see the band play the intro to Time (instead of having to watch the clock video), you get to see the musicians play High Hopes (instead of having to watch that video like on the Pulse performance), and you get to see much more of Gilmour's second solo on Comfortably Numb. I can't say enough about the brilliance of this DVD. It has turned into one of my favorite DVDs in a matter of only a few days. If your a fan of David Gilmour and Pink Floyd, you will love this DVD. Also, for those of you who support Waters over Gilmour, remember that even though Waters was responsible for many of the Floyd's compositions, Gilmour (and Wright) was the best musician in the band and also the best singer. He's the one who played all those brilliant guitar parts and he's the one who sang classics like Time (with Wright), Money, Breathe, Welcome to the Machine, Us and Them, Wish You Were Here, Echoes (with Wright), and many more. Buy this DVD. It is absolutely incredible.
