David Gilmour on BBC4 TV - 3 Programs - Fri 26 Sep '08

[Keith Jordan]

BBC4 TV are to broadcast three programs to coincide with the release of David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk DVD/CD release.

They are airing a cut down version of the Live in Gdansk DVD, a behind the scenes documentary and a repeat of the excellent Pink Floyd Story documentary.

Concert Broadcast - 9:10pm

The cut down version of the Live at Gdansk DVD will be broadcast this Friday 26th September 2008 starting at 9:10pm. It lasts for one hour. It is repeated the following day at 1:30am and on the 29th at Midnight. So tune in!

David Gilmour: Gdansk Diary - 10:10pm

BBC4 TV are alsobroadcasting a documentary this Friday 26th September 2008 at 10:10pm (GMT) called David Gilmour: Gdansk Diary. It is repeated the following day at 2:30am.

The 30 minute documentary gives a snapshot of the band and production crew preparing for and then and delivering David Gilmour's unique concert in the Gdansk shipyard in August, 2006.

The film portrays the contextual drama of the urban landscape of the shipyard and shows Gilmour meeting Lech Walesa, the former Polish president and co-founder of Solidarity, as they lay a wreath at the Monument to the Fallen Workers at the shipyards.

It will no doubt be available on the BBC iPlayer at some point for a week after the broadcast.

The Pink Floyd Story Documentary - 10:40pm

And if those two broadcasts are not enough for you, you can catch a repeat of the wonderful documentary The Pink Floyd Story at 10:40pm also on Friday 26th! This also lasts for one hour.

Thanks for the info Keith.

[Keith Jordan]

I only found out about all that lot above by chance yesterday!! I would have missed it all. Which reminds me, I am going to set my Sky+ to automatically record it RIGHT NOW as I know I will completely forget!!!

I watched it, but will watch it again on Friday. Quite an emotional performance I think, especially as David can seem a little 'uninvolved' sometimes when performing!

[oldhippy]

Sad to read that Richard was going to be on with Dave. Jools Holland I'm sure will be saying something about Richard.

Sky + set to tape all programmes

May buy a dvd recorder tomorrow and put it onto disc

I saw Remember A Day on YouTube.

It's sad that this song is FINALLY being done live, and Rick isn't there to sing it... although Dave and Jon put on a powerful performance. It's a sad performance: near the end Dave seems like he's about to cry, and everyone is in black with a black/blue stage lighting setup.

Jon Carin looked really alone and isolated over by the keys with no Rick. All the times I've seen him, he's had either Rick or Harry Waters backing him up... never just himself. He must've been feeling a lot of it.

[Keith Jordan]

That is good news! Hope you enjoy watching the programs as much as I think I am going to enjoy them later!

[Beowulf]

Oh yes, only 1½hrs to go ....

[Keith Jordan]

Indeed! I have my Sky+ set because I am not good at telling the time!! I used to end up missing all sorts before the days of my beloved Sky+.

[snifferdog]

I'm looking forward to this too.

[Keith Jordan]

Twenty minutes to go! Time for a smoke, make a load of coffee, another smoke, fire the surround sound up then enjoy!

[Beowulf]

Watching it now, it is so bloody good. Hang the expense of it, if this is what Live at Gdansk is like then I'll spend next week's rent on it.
