I didn't think anything of this disk when it first came out. I read bad reviews and so passed it up. When David Gilmour launched his web site and prepared to release On An Island I saw a snippet from this DVD on his new site. I was intrigued by what I saw, so I bought the Meltdown concert. Initially I was less than enthusiastic. The presentation is very simple- no bright lights, lasers or Pink Floydy explosions here. Just a guy and his guitar and a back-up band. As it turns out, the lack of flash is what makes this such a special DVD. It is the MUSISCIANSHIP that makes this so great. And the "back-up band" is very good!!! This is one of my favourite concert DVD's. I watch it all the time and it doesn't get old! David re-invents some classic Floyd (Shine On You Crazy Diamond fairs particularly well- both sections!). Also, Richard Wrights' Breakthrough (which I had not been familiar with prior to seeing this DVD) was a very pleasant surprise. The Syd Barrett songs are treated very nicely here- as if they were David' own. And the DVD extras are interesting (the documentary) to fantastic (the Elvis tune with the female vocalist whom I for the life of me don't recall her name). If you like music- if you like Floyd- if you like Gilmour- GET THIS DVD! Watch it a few times- see if it doesn't blow you away!
