7. Behind the Scenes [3.17]

This DVD has been created from the Streamed broadcast captured from the AOL website, and then transferred into DVD format. The quality is not quite as good as a TV broadcast, but considering this is from a webcast, the quality is extremely good.

8. Answers to AOL Questions:
This is your first album of new material. Why the delay?
Do you see this album as more of a personal statement?
Is it fundamentally different making music under your own name rather than under Pink Floyd?
The new songs deal with mortality and acceptance. Have those been big issues for you?
Can you tell us the story behind your Guitar Strap?
The Pink Floyd reunion at Live 8 spawned all sorts of rumours. Was it a farewell performance?
Do you feel being a solo artist has made you more upfront about who you are as a musician?

Total time: 46.41
Bonus Feature : "The Hour" 12th April 2006 [11.52]
9. Interview with George Stroumboulopoulos.

Whilst David was in Canada, he undertook an interview with CBC - the Canadian Broadcast Corporation - for a show called "The Hour". The interviewer George Stroumboulopoulos is a highly regarded journalist in Canada, and his chat with Gilmour is an interesting look at the man, the music, and his life.
Stroumboulopoulos is known for his knack of getting some different aspects of his subject to the surface, and certainly his questioning of David is interesting, and keeps away from the obvious questions.
