I went to the David Gilmour event. After the Albert Hall concert portion, the film rolled credits and a third of the audience left not realizing there was more to come. What a rip off. The producer of the event should be never work again. Fathom should be embarrassed.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the event with the one exception being that it would have been far better with an intelligent interviewer.Would have liked to have seem more concert footage.

That's sad. You would have thought the producer would have let attendees know to stay after the film finished. Also, perhaps they should have selected an interviewer with more knowledge about Gilmour. Oh well, at least you liked the program overall. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I had a previous engagement and could not attend, but I was curious as to what fans thought. Take care and keep on rockin' ~Mickie
