David
Gilmour
"In Concert"
Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK
30th Apr 1984 [Proshot DVD] - UPGRADE

The
Hammersmith Odeon show was only released in the USA in NTSC
video format, and until recently has never been available
in the UK. In fact I have only recently discovered it's existence.
The show features Dave's long time friend Roy Harper, and
sings a duet with Dave on Roy's own composition "Short
and Sweet". Musically this is a very fine performance
with the odd Pink Floyd classic thrown in like "Run
Like Hell". The show concludes with the shy and retiring
Nick Mason joining the band, and Dave says, "We'd better
make it one he knows", and they play the Pink Floyd classic
"Comfortably Numb".
Although the sound quality is superb, I am not sure if it
is actually in stereo. There is hardly any stereo separation,
so it's best I think to describe it as being a mono soundtrack.
Some Words from
Ron Toon:
Here's a very special DVD for ya. This is the David Gilmour
In Concert video that was broadcast by MTV and released onto
VHS in 1984 (now out of print). A few talented folks have
remastered this already onto DVD (most notably the very nice
version that PotW released) but I think I now have bragging
rights to the "definative" version.
A friend who works at an East Coast TV station found a 1"
station master and digitally transferred it onto DVCAM for
me. This is without a doubt the best looking (and probably
sounding) source for this show. For a bonus track I added
"Love On The Air" which also comes from the same gig.
