David Gilmour - In Concert (2002)

David Gilmour in Concert is a DVD of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's solo concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London in June 2001, as part of the Robert Wyatt-curated Meltdown festival. It also features additional footage recorded during three concerts at the same venue in January 2002. The track selection includes several Pink Floyd compositions in addition to Gilmour's solo works. Guest appearances are made by Floyd colleague Richard Wright, as well as Robert Wyatt and Bob Geldof. It includes the first ever performance of "Smile" a track which would appear almost five years later on Gilmour's third solo album - On an Island, and Gilmour even plays a few Syd Barrett compositions. Also included is "Je crois entendre encore" ("I still believe I hear"), an aria from Georges Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers), with a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré, and sung by Gilmour in the original French.
