Endnu en liveudgivelse fra On an Island turneen. Meget ved denne udgivelse
giver indtryk af at der her skal tjenes en masse penge på sultne fans. Først kom
CD'en i marts 2006. Så kom der en special-CD med en ekstra DVD med i pakken. Så kom
en single CD med nogle livenumre fra turneen hvor blandt andet David Bowie sang Arnold
Layne. Derefter udgav man en dobbelt DVD med liveoptagelser fra denne turnee optaget
hovedsageligt i Royal Albert Hall i London. Og så to år efter turneen er slut, udgiver
de så endnu mere livemateriale fra samme turnee.
Altså er det hele plat og humbug ? Langt fra. For ægte Gilmourfans er dette materiale
guld værd. Kvalitetne er selvfølgelig i top og så er ekstramaterialet det rene guf.
Koncerten faldt udenfor resten af Gilmours On an Island Tour. Det var en koncert
Gilmour blev inviteret til at afholde i forbindelse med Solidarnos'c' havde 25 års
jubilæum. Derfor ser man også Gilmour tale med Lech Walensa og derfor afholdtes
koncerten på skibsværftet i Gdansk.
Allerede under tilblivelsen af On an Island
pladen havde Gilmour arbejdet sammen med to polske musikere som begge selvfølgelig
var med her ved koncerten. Den ene Zbigniew Preisner var med til at lede orkesteret
(Michael Kamen dirigerede vist) og den anden Leszek Mozdzer spillede piano.

"Castellorizon" [3:54](Gilmour)
Instrumental
"On an Island" [6:47](Gilmour; Gilmour Samson)
Remember that night...
White sails in the moonlight
They walked it too...
Through empty playground, this ghost's town
Children again on rusting swings
getting higher
Sharing a dream
On an Island.... it felt right
We lay
side by side,
Between the moon and the tide
Mapping the stars for a while
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you
Remember that night,
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burn...
Though the church was
deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave ...but we're here everafter...
Da da da da da....
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you...
"The Blue" [5:26](Gilmour, Samson)
Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight moon shines for you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
just blue...
Ceaselessly
star-crossed you and me
save our souls
we'll be forever
blue
Waves roll
lift us in blue
drift us
Seep right through
and colour us blue
Wait for me
shameless you, the sea
soon, the
blue
so soon...
Soon the blue, so soon
"Take a Breath" [5:46] (Gilmour, Samson)
Take a breath
take a deep breath now
take a breath
a deep breath now
take a breath
when you're down is where you find yourself
when
you drown there's nothing else
and if you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no-one else
To make the moves that
you can do
when you fall from grace your eyes in blue
your every breath
becomes another world
and the far horizon's living hell
Take a breath
take a deep breath now
Take a breath
a deep breath now
Take a breath
This kind of love is hard to find
I never got
to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
at least I
showed you how to swim for shore
When you're down is where you'll know
yourself
that if you drown there's nothing else
When you're lost you need
to find youself
then you'll find out that there's no-one else
"Red Sky at Night" [2:51] (Gilmour)
Instrumental
"This Heaven" [4:24](Gilmour, Gilmour samson)
All the pieces fall into place
when we walk these fields
and I reach
out and touch your face
This earthly heaven is enough for me
So break
the bread and pour the wine
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money byes
when I see the faith in my children's eyes
I've felt the power in a holy place
Whished for comfort when in need
Now I'm here in a state of grace
This earthly heaven is enough for me
So break the bread and pour the wine
I need no blessings but I'm counting
mine
Life is much more than money buys
when I see the faith in my children's
eyes
"Then I Close my Eyes" [5:28] (Gilmour)
Instrumental
"Smile" [4:03] (Gilmour, Samson)
Would this do
to make it allright
while sleep has taken you
where I'm
out of sight
I'll make my getaway
time on my own
Search for a better
way
to find my way home to your smile
Wasting days and days
on
this fight
always down and up
half the night
Hopeless to reminisce
through the dark hours
We'll only sacrifice
what time will allow us you're
sighing... sighing
All alone
though you're right here
Now it's time
to go
from your sad stare
Make my getaway
time on my own
leaving's
a better way
to find my way home to your smile... smile
your smile
"A Pocketful of Stones" [6:18] (Gilmour, Samson)
He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
chances are this spark's
a lifetime
Out of tuoch he'll live in wonder
Won't loose sleep he'll
just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him till the
end
Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Says he doesn't
care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
and he's
not guilty or afraid
One day he'll slip away
cool water flowing all
around
In the river and on the ground
leave a pocketful of stones and
not belive in other lives
Until then he'll live in wonder
He won't
fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him till
the end
"Where We Start" [6:46](Gilmour)
Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, with nothing planned
Along by the river we feed bread to the swans
and then over the footbridge
to the woods beyond
We walk ourselves weary
you and I
There's just
this moment
I light a campfire away from the path
We lie in the
bluebells, a woodpecker laughs
Time passes slowly our hearts entwined
All of the dark times left behind
The days is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go
We walk ourselves weary,
arm in arm
back trough the twillight
home again
We're home again
We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow
so much behind us
still
far to go
Still far to go
