National CineMedia, LLc.: Big Screen Concerts(SM) and Network LIVE Present
David Gilmour's Tour Kick-Off Show Recorded Live In London On March 7th, Plus an Interview and New
Music Video, In More Than 100 Movie Theatres Across the Country
David Gilmour, legendary guitarist and voice of Pink Floyd, will give American fans one more chance to catch his latest tour on the Big Screen on Tuesday, May 16th at 8:00pm local time. This exciting one-night-only Big Screen Concerts(SM) and Network LIVE event features David Gilmour's March 7, 2006 performance recorded live at the Mermaid Theatre in London. Show highlights include the first public performance of tracks from On An Island, Gilmour's new album, plus many Pink Floyd classics.
David Gilmour played only 10 sold-out North American dates before returning to Europe, so this will be the only chance for many in the U.S. to see him in concert this year. This special event will also include an on-screen interview with David Gilmour talking about the creation of the new album, as well as the new On An Island music video.
"We had a great time touring the U.S. and I'm glad that more of the fans will be able to see the show because of this initiative," said David Gilmour.
DAVID GILMOUR: ON AN ISLAND will be presented by National CineMedia and Network LIVE in High-Definition and cinema surround sound at more than 100 participating Regal, United Artists, Edwards, Cinemark, AMC and Georgia Theatre Company movie theatres across the country.

On An Island is the third David Gilmour album and his first studio recording since Pink Floyd's 1994 multi-platinum The Division Bell. The album debuted at No 1 in the UK and No 6 in the US. On An Island, is a special experience that not only bears comparison with the best of Pink Floyd, but also confirms their lead guitarist and singer as an outstanding solo artist. Here he reveals a personal vision and a breadth of styles - folk, jazz, orchestral and rock - brought together as a unified piece by his lyrical guitar playing and instantly recognizable voice.
