A Night To Remember...

If you follow The Blog (and who doesn't?), you'll know that we've been revealing details of David's forthcoming live DVD, Remember That Night. If you missed any of the updates, we'll be providing a regular summary here.

This is what you should know so far...

Contrary to rumours, the DVD will NOT be out on Tuesday 27th March. In fact, it won't be out until at least May.

Two discs will be necessary to carry the whole DVD package (both DVD-9s, fact fans). These are dual layer discs and allow a greater playing time.

In addition to the 'standard' DVD, there will be higher-resolution versions in both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD; these are the new high-resolution formats
which are exciting interest in the videophile marketplace. Unfortunately their authoring process takes a little longer, so the release won't be on the same day as the 'standard', and in fact may be up to six months afterwards. Apologies for this, but it will be important to spend as long as it takes to get the quality just right.

The first disc will contain footage from the Royal Albert Hall concerts of last May. The second will be full of extras, including three documentaries. The main one, Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine, contains behind-the-scenes tour footage from the rehearsals in Bray right through to the final show in Gda?sk. There's also a short film shot on the West Coast of America, which includes footage shot by Richard backstage in LA.

There will also be a documentary on the making of the On An Island album, which is an edited version of the EPK. The tracks Castellorizon, On An Island, The Blue, Take A Breath, and High Hopes from London's Mermaid Theatre (March 2006) will also be included among the extras."

Now where have I heard that before with regard to a Pink Floyd-related DVD?

I am really looking forward to trhis DVD.

OK, so it's not going to be May (no surprises there)...

"As you will have seen from the world exclusive on The Blog, the European date for the release of David Gilmour's DVD Remember That Night ? Live At The Royal Albert Hall is...(drum roll)...Monday 17th September!

Because DVDs are released on a Tuesday in the US, the North American date will be Tuesday 18th September.

There will be regular communiqu?s regarding the content of the DVD (updated regularly on The Blog), but suffice to say it is a work of many layers which has required much post-production and planning."

OK, who actually thinks this date is going to be the final one?

I said to you before ... Pink Floyd-related DVDs just don't come out on time.

If it takes as long as Pulse to come out it'll be a night I'll have forgotten..
