24-hour contest

February, 2007: Jamming at David's Barn. Photo: Polly Samson.I hear there are some awesome Gilmour-goodies knocking about the DG Management office, looking for a good home, so what better way to dish them out than to run a completely random contest?

I’ve got a copy of the awesome exclusive DVD package that’s currently available in Borders stores (available only in the US, containing a rather nice Abbey Road mini-poster); the US-only DVD exclusive from Best Buy, complete with awesome three-track CD from the AOL Sessions (I’ll ask that someone checks that the DVD actually works first, don’t worry); an awesome programme from the UK & Europe premiere – as seen regularly on eBay (this was available in UK cinemas only, it seems); an awesome (well, that’s a huge exaggeration, it’s pretty dull) ‘backstage’ pass from said premiere; and a rare (and truly awesome) promo CD, issued only to radio stations in the run-up to the DVD’s release.

Five prizes, five winners, so all we need now are five adjectives, as used by you, to describe the awesome ‘Remember That Night’ DVD.

As you are likely to come up with the same ones, especially if you cheat and look back over recent posts, names will be pulled out of an imaginary hat. Whoever matches the most adjectives to my list of five will go into this awesome ‘hat’.

They can be the most over-used, the most annoying, or the most unusual. You have to guess.

Please get your entries in by 3PM (UK) tomorrow, no excuses. Only one entry per person, as always (that’s one list of five adjectives, please). I’ll let you know who has won what tomorrow.

Good luck, all.

Quick update on the position of ‘Remember That Night’ in the Music DVD charts… It’s now Number One in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the United States.

Awesome, I’m sure you’ll agree.

    That’s my five.

    By the way FEd, are you going to catch any of the NHL hockey game this weekend in London? Check out some aggressive action not involving that black and white ball for a change?

    Thanks.

    Hello Fed,

    Here are my 5 words…

    Awesome
    Contemplative
    Unequalled
    Personal
    Intimate

    I guess I’m going for the most unusual – except for the first one – which is a must!!!

  3. Andrew S in Toronto

    Awesome
    Breath-taking
    Humbling (they all play soooo well!)
    Incredible
    Up-lifting

    Erin said (regarding the AOL Sessions):

    “…as it took place in a drab studio, took away from the music somehow.”

    I dunno. I kind of liked it as being very personal somehow, like they are playing in someone’s basement.

    On another note:

    So, Man U got defeated yesterday. What happened? Couldn’t the ref find someone on Coventry to red card?

  6. Andrew

    David must really like DSOTM. Look at the lights in the picture. They are in the shape of a triangle. Spoooooky….

    Or am I reaching here??

    Thanks.

    Andrew

  16. Cori Burns

    Dear Fed!

    I wonder what Robert Plant said to David at the Odeon?

    I would loved to have been a fly on the wall, and wonder what went thro David’s mind when Robert told him that Led Zep were reforming.

    Do you think it made David nostalgic or did he think ‘oh my God!’ or just remain somewhat bemused and thoughtful?

    I wonder….

    Ya Andrew..I see it too! And you can also see The Wall there in behind at the back. And the look on Guy’s face suggests he’s having a Momentary Lapse Of Reason..

    Just kidding Andrew ..good observation.

  57. Charles Wilkinson

    Hi Fed

    I’m too old to use terms like awesome- really everytime David plays it’s absolutely awesome, so please Fed we should use maybe one of the following descriptions;

    Simply bloody marvellous, or
    Beyond Belief, or
    Out of this world (I know his guitar solos take my head to another place), or
    A piece of magic, but to me it is just
    The BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just wish I was there to “remember that night” – the UK is a long way away.

    Hi and best wishes to everybody out there.

    Charles

  60. Andrew

    I wanted to add that its a very impressive list of things to give away. But I guess you are still holding on to the giant David is #1 foam finger.

    Thanks.

    F’Ed and all:

    Thank you Gilmour and company for more and more fun.

    5 words? That’s hard.

    1) Exciting 2) Perfect 3) Breathtaking 4) Emotional 5) Sublime

    I am off to Oregon for vacation til Oct 9. I will miss this site. Hope to find out about the Easter Eggs hints when I get back.

    By the way, I received some encouragement from two bloggers quite a long time ago regarding my interest in learning guitar. I have now started lessons on an acoustic. I must say I won’t be giving up my day job any time soon (as the saying goes). It has been fun so far. And believe it or not my teacher’s name is David!!!! Thank you for that encouragement. Means alot.

    Keep well and happy all.

    Love,
    Jan

  65. kimberley

    checked with my daughter to ensure the adjectiveness of the following:

    1. awesome
    2. random
    3. random
    4. awesome
    5. random

    others were deleted as being silly old verbs, adverbs and other grammatical species.

    does anyone’s else child say random about a million times a day?

  66. AxPxM88

    Inspiring
    Beautiful
    Breathtaking

    And finally: Marvelous!

    Have a good weekend FEd!

  68. Claudio

    Dear Dave.

    The new dvd is amazing. I enyoyed both discs!!

    You must come to Argentina some day. Please!!

    Thanks a lot for your music.

  72. jan

    It is hard to put into words just how wonderful this dvd is. One blogger said tears came to his eyes.

    I would have to say that after watching David say he loved Richard: seeing David smile at the other band memebers: Polly laughing; the beautiful children, just the comraderie of all of the band and then the stunning performances; that pretty well sums up the feeling. I got the lump in the throat feeling. So lovely.

    And Davids acoustic ending on High Hopes was so beautiful and poignant.

    Also, I loved the version of Comfortably Numb with Rick W. the best. Davids closing on this was my favorite.

    Will miss reading all you while I am on vacation. Hope I don’t miss the Easter Egg fun.

    Love to all, Jan

    Hiya Fed!

    Its 4am-ish and I am in the conservatory watching the stars and the moon. Can’t sleep.

    Saw a shooting star and made a wish.

    Orchestra in my head so I’m gonna go and work it out.

    Nite Nite Fed!

    My 5 are Awesome, Stunning, Laughing, Subtle and Friendly.

    If you get a chance Fed, the NHL has brought our Stanley Cup to London for all to see. It’s the most elegant trophy in sports and was purchased from London in the late 1800′s by a guy named Lord Stanley.

  76. Ian.Pearson

    Addictive
    Enlightening
    Comforting

    Haven’t a clue if these words are adjectives, all I know is that they aren’t elephants.

    Fed

    As a favour to the many aussie fans out there would it be possible to organise a chat a bit earlier in the day. 2pm over there is midnight here (I think anyway) and as you know most of have been around longer than we care to admit.

    But I can say the 70′s were the best and I was part of it, and where would I have been without ‘Meddle’, ‘Obsured by Clouds’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’.

    Anybody out there remember those dark nights, when you just chilled right out and listened to Pink Floyd? How could you forget unless you had some help if you know what I mean.

    Thanks Fed

    Dear Fed, Alex and all!

    WE are not alone – the Press Association, posted the following approximately 18 hours ago (click my name).

    Here’s an excerpt:

    “Pink Floyd is the band most people want to see reunite – and the Spice Girls the group they want to split, according to a new poll. A survey of music fans across Europe also called for Westlife and Girls Aloud to call it a day. [...] After Pink Floyd, music fans said they wanted Swedish stars Abba and US rockers Guns N’ Roses to reform.”

    WOW!

    Love Cori xxxx

    [Interesting. - Features Editor]

    FEd,

    Based on the discussion in the chat yesterday, I think some people are a little confused.

    I understood that you were looking for adjectives that were used on the blog since the release of RTN.

    Others thought these were 5 words that YOU think describe RTN.

    Personally I think your writing above is pretty clear but I can see how some might get confused because of prior contests held on the site.

    Thanks.

    Andrew
