David Gilmour - Remember That Night: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

It goes without saying that it is stunning, both visually and aurally; how could any Pink Floyd related project fail to be? But how stunning? It was less than twelve months, after all, since Floyd themselves reformed for Live8, and the fan club's heartbeat was still bumping fit to bust. But Gilmour transcended everything that his bandmates had conspired to reawaken, with a set that opened with a lush and lengthy slab of Dark Side Of The Moon, then meandered through his own solo work (On An Island naturally dominates the set list), before flickering backwards to Floyd again. A heartfelt "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a heartbreaking "Wish You Were Here", a surprising "Fat Old Son" and a stately "Echoes" to remind us that Roger Waters may have been the band's wordsmith, but Gilmour and keyboard player Richard Wright (who is also present here) were always the musical linchpin.

Guest appearances from David Crosby and Graham Nash, Robert Wyatt and David Bowie are exciting but ultimately unnecessary the Thin White Duke turns in a grand "Arnold Layne" and a smart "Comfortably Numb", but it is Gilmour's show, and no star can outshine him.
