After forty years of making some of the most popular music ever recorded David Gilmour has earned the right to kick back his heels and relax a little. Gilmour is no longer interested in the radical experimentations of Pink Floyd's early years or the conceptual epics of thier seventies hey-day. His performance on 'In Concert' is laid back and stripped down. The arena bombast of lasers, flying pigs, and exploding props are thankfully gone. The concert was filmed in a small theater and has a back-to-basics 'Unplugged' type feel, as Gilmour plays most of the songs on acoustic guitar. Casual fans expecting the hits will be dispointed. Gilmour includes some of Floyd's more popular songs like 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb'. But his radical re-working of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from its thickly layered synth prog-rock into an intimate, acoustic workout, touching on folk, classical and Spanish guitar, and even funk, demonstrates that Gilmour, now in his early sixties, still abounds with fresh, creative energy. He spends most of his performance playing songs by Pink Floyd founder Syd Barret. While I'm sure that most Floyd fans know who Barret is, I doubt they have ever listened to his music. Gilmour plays some of Barret's best work, like 'Fat Old Sun', 'Terrapin', and 'Dominoes'.  Hopefully after this introduction they will seek out his excellent solo albums. Gilmour includes obscure but sweet songs by Richard Thompson and his fellow band mate Richard Wright who joins him onstage for a number. The DVD includes some special features. The highlights include rehearsal footage and a performance fron the early 90's with singer Mica Paris where Gilmour plays some scorching blues guitar, reminding us of his mastery of the instrument.
