First up, I have to confess. I'm a massive Floyd fan and David is God to me. I would even say that I'm helplessly Devoted. So I'm tempted not to say much about the concert itself, because the very fact that it's called 'David Gilmour in Concert' is a dead give-away. I mean, it's David Gilmour, he's in concert, so, therefore, it's obviously a brilliant show! But I will pass comment in due course, so please bear with me.

No need to explain the first two, so let's get straight on to Track Selection.

Now we come to Features and, let's be honest, concert aside, this is what we've all been gagging for.

First on the list is Spare Digits, fretting hand close-ups of six solos ('Coming Back To Life', 'High Hopes', 'Breakthrough', 'Comfortably Numb', 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', 'A Great Day For Freedom') designed primarily for guitar enthusiasts to marvel over how David's "fat little fingers" make it all look so darn easy.

There's also a choral version of 'High Hopes' (called High Hopes (choral), funnily enough), Lyrics (including 'Smile', 'The Dimming of the Day', and 'Hushabye Mountain' - you should already know the words to the all the Floyd-related stuff off by heart if you call yourself a Floyd fan!) and an interesting Sound Tester thingy-me-jig that suggests the most appropriate placement of your speakers, for those who have a full 5.1 system (to help avoid potential acoustic phase problems, or so it says here).

There then follows a discussion between David and some of the girls about the best way to sing this tricky tune, David explaining how the man on the record sings it differently to how he prefers to sing it. Someone helpfully suggests that the choir will sing it however David wants them to sing it (damn right) but, after pondering on the alternative, the contemplation is brought to an end by David's blunt "F*ck Georges Bizet. He's dead, anyway" which makes everyone laugh.

A little more practice and then, as if to show the world the finished product, we see a clip from Meltdown - and damn fine it is, too.

I make no apologies for the blatant bias throughout this review as, the fact of the matter is, the DVD is faultless. Everything from the menus to the extras that had mouths watering in anticipation for months was thoroughly enjoyable and definitely worth waiting so long for... even worth tolerating the disappointments that inevitably followed each release date delay, EMI (joke).

The three bonus tracks ('Dominoes', 'Breakthrough' and 'Comfortably Numb') from David's three-day tenure at the Royal Festival Hall the following January should please fans who attended those shows (and had probably hoped that this DVD would actually be a Best Of January 2002 mini-tour instead of concentrating solely on the previous year's Meltdown). That said, something from Paris as well as, or instead of, one of the above wouldn't have gone amiss. There's no "Who gives a f*ck?" (in response to a wag asking when the next Floyd album will be out), but there's plenty of light-hearted banter throughout the gig, including the tale of how, in 1969, an electrical surge from David's mic stand left him in the drum kit, bless his cotton socks.

I would also have liked to have seen Kate Bush's 'Comfortably Numb' included as well as Bob Geldof's (Kate was the special guest on the third and final night's show - and the only one I did not attend). I think this would have been a fantastic treat for Kate's fans, seeing as they hadn't seen or heard much of her in a while.

David's band includes the late Michael Kamen (on piano and cor anglais), Chucho Merchan (double bass), Caroline Dale (cello), Dick Parry (saxophone), Neill MacColl (acoustic guitar), Nic France (percussion) and Sam Brown (leading the choir, which includes several familiar faces to Floyd fans). There are also guest appearances from Richard Wright, Robert Wyatt and Bob Geldof. An impressive ensemble indeed.
