Later this month, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour will become the first artist to release an entire album as a smartphone app.
To be released for iOS Nov. 19, the app will include Gilmour’s entire 2002 DVD “David Gilmour in Concert” for $8.99. An Android release will come later.
The concert was recorded at Robert Wyatt‘s “Meltdown” festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2001, and a return visit the following year.
The concert songs are: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5); Terrapin; Fat Old Sun; Coming Back to Life; High Hopes; Je Crois Entendre Encore; Smile; Wish You Were Here; Comfortably Numb (featuring Wyatt); Dimming of the Day; Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-8); A Great Day for Freedom; Hushabye Mountain; Breakthrough (featuring Richard Wright); and Comfortably Numb (featuring Bob Geldof).
Extras include: Spare Digits (closeups of Gilmour’s guitar parts); Home Movie (shot at rehearsals); High Hopes Choral; I Put A Spell On You (with Jools Holland and Mica Paris); Don’t; and Sonnet 18.
Songs from 2001 were shot in HD, with the rest of the material shot in standard definition.
