David Gilmour - The Making Of An Island (Behind The Scenes)

David Gilmour's 'The Making Of An Island' taken from bonus content included on the 2 disc special edition DVD of Remember That Night. This bonus material documents David Gilmour's creative processes during the creation of his third studio album 'On An Island.' Remember That Night was recorded at David Gilmour's concerts at the Royal Albert Hall on 29, 30 & 31 May 2006 as part of his On an Island Tour (the title is taken from a line in the song On an Island. It was released on DVD / Bly-ray in 2007. During the run, David’s performance was augmented by a string of special guests. David Crosby and Graham Nash joined for several songs each night, while on the first night, David Bowie provided a thrilling surprise to audience and venue staff alike with a guest appearance (which was to be his final performance on a UK stage). The second night saw Mica Paris, who returned on the third night - which also featured David's old bandmate Nick Mason on drums for the encore (meaning three Pink Floyd members were on stage, as Richard Wright was part of David’s touring band). On all three nights, Robert Wyatt joined the band onstage for Then I Close My Eyes. The concert film was directed by David Mallet.
