Preisner and Gilmour

The last concert on David Gilmour's 2006 Summer Tour was held in front of 50,000 people at the shipyards in Gdansk, Poland, at the request of the Gdansk Foundation.

The concert was the only occasion on which Gilmour performed the tour material with an orchestra, using the 40-strong string section of the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Zbigniew Preisner.

A live recording and film were made of the event and versions of these have now been released in several formats and packages under the title Live In Gdansk.
