David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk was recorded and filmed in 2006 at the Polish city's
shipyards, the very same historic location where Lech Walesa's
Solidarity movement began its populist assault on the country's
repressive Soviet-installed regime in 1980. By all accounts of the time
it was a truly awesome multimedia spectacle. But there are strange and
sad ironies that accompany this release as well. For starters, it was
released in the U.K. exactly a week after the death of Richard Wright,
Gilmour's longtime bandmate in Pink Floyd, and his keyboardist here.

Secondly, it appears during a period of increased tension between Russia and the
United States over the latter's proposed missile defense system to be
placed in Poland (by the U.S.) and the country's intended membership in
NATO. But there is nothing bittersweet about the music to be found on
this double-disc package (one of six different packages that document
the event and the tour -- apparently nobody told Gilmour the recording
industry was in an economic crisis). On this version, two and a half
hours document the entire concert. Gilmour's band -- Wright, Roxy Music
guitarist Phil Manzanera, keyboardist Jon Carin, bassist Guy Pratt,
drummer Steve DiStanislao, and saxophonist Dick Parry -- is accompanied
by the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, including its 40-piece
string section, conducted by Zbigniew Preisner (who did the arrangements
on Gilmour's On an Island album).

While cynics can debate the pretentious of this date forever, everyone else can enjoy
an utterly engaging, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally moving
performance of Gilmour's entire On an Island album and a boxful of Pink
Floyd hits to boot. The first disc begins with Floyd's Dark Side of the
Moon suite of "Speak to Me," "Breathe," and "Time," and comes to a close
with the reprise of the opening track. With the orchestra accompanying
the band, the dreaminess and spaciness of the original music
miraculously comes through, and Gilmour is in fine voice as well. The
rest of disc one is taken up by an almost totally in-sequence
performance of On an Island. The live version of the album rocks more,
perhaps because of the steady presence of Manzanera, who adds extra
punch to Gilmour's airy bluesy one on guitar. This is especially true on
"Take a Breath," when his crunchy, crackling power chords come off like
something from his own Diamond Head album; his solo against the
counterpoint of the orchestra makes it one of the set's true rockist
highlights.

Disc two is comprised entirely of performances of Pink Floyd tunes from albums as
diverse as Atom Heart Mother ( "Fat Old Sun" ), Wish You Were Here (
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and its title track), The Piper at the
Gates of Dawn ( "Astronomy Domine" ), Meddle ( "Echoes" ), The Wall(
"Comfortably Numb" ), and The Division Bell ( "A Great Day for Freedom"
). The performances are not terribly spontaneous in part because of the
orchestral arrangements, but they are flawless (again, Manzanera's
presence adds some real muscle) and, given the sheer quality of the
sound, they have plenty of presence and warmth despite being recorded in
front of a concert audience. This set may be strictly for Gilmour and
Pink Floyd fans, but as such, for all its packaging pomp (it's green
though: carbon-neutral cardboard wallets for all the different
packages), it feels like something historic and beautifully considered
as well as executed. It would have been amazing to be in that audience.
[This five-disc Special Edition includes two CDs, two DVDs, and an
additional bonus CD that consists of BBC and Live at AOL sessions as
well as the Barn Jam.]
