David Gilmour Live 1984
''Pink Floyd's David Gilmour'' or simply ''David Gilmour'' is a film by David Gilmour from his 1984 tour from the album '' About Face'' for Europe. The film is mainly a concert performance from The Hammersmith Odeon in London in April 1984, and also features promotional clips. A documentary called ''After The Floyd'' which followed Gilmour on the 1984 solo tour includes interviews with David on tour buses (the bus driver refers to David as ex-guitarist of Pink Floyd) and in hotel rooms. Also included is more live footage of concerts and soundchecks in Europe. It is now out of production. The VHS was not released in Europe, apparently due to "lack of commercial interest". This concert footage is now to be found on DVD, released by Crime Crow Productions. The DVD, however, does not contain the extra footage that could be found on the VHS. Similarly, Sony Music has shown little interest in releasing the title on DVD in the US, possibly due to the age of the concert as well as Gil ...

Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal jazz the p ...
