Summary: Farewell to Wright
Comment: I received this CD/DVD combo just two days ago. At first glance, while the whole graphic concept is really attractive and nicely done, the package quality was below my expectations, the materials seems somehow cheap and the discs have a tendency to fell out from the envelope (something similar happened to me with the PULSE - red blinking light - CD package). But this failure can be easily overlooked because the sound and picture quality were good and this is what really matters. As for the song selection, it is easy for us, Pink Floyd fans, to expect as much as many Floyd material as possible, but, although this is a truly David Gilmour set, is a nice and pleasant one. I would prefer a less "On an Island" product, but for that case we have the two previous DVDs released by David. There are two important highlights here: the Echoes full performance in the third disc and the Barn Jam sessions in the fourth one. In my case, this two peak points justifies the whole set. Specially the Barn Jam sessions. I am a dedicated Pink Floyd fan and for me it was very sad to see Rick Wright in what may be one of the lasts recorded performances of him. It's paradoxical: in my case this collection is more about Wright than Gilmour, at least while I get used to the idea that the great keyboardist is no longer among us.

Summary: Not that good.
Comment: This is not the best I've seen from David but if you are a fan you might
like the show. The Island Live is a much better show.

Summary: Minor Problem
Comment: The dvd portion of this boxed set didn't play one track. An email to Amazon resulted in a new set within two days! We are now enjoying the whole boxed set. We wouldn't hesitate to order anything from Amazon, excellent customer service.

Comment: Really very good. Not better then Royal Albert Hall concert, but a rare performance to a huge audience. A set-list for fan's, I'd say. Buy and you won't regret.

Summary: Excellent Performance
Comment: David Gilmour plays like no other , and you will enjoy his guitarlicks.I would like to give this 5 stars , but for that he had to play even more Floydsongs...If you can buy the 4disc-set , you have a great deal.It is very cheap for a set with 2 cd's and 2 excellent dvd's.One more thing : this concert is recorded with HD-cameras and it shows!
