Great stuff! That was from David Gilmour's last solo tour and prominently featured late keyboardist Richard Wright, the Pink Floyd member who at one time was notoriously kicked out of the band by Roger Waters. That concert video shows us one of the last times Richard Wright was seen by the public before he died of cancer in 2008.
This reminds me of a very interesting and moving vocal performance which Wright gave for the song "Wearing the Inside Out" on the final Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell. The song is about recovering from addiction or possibly illness, and was apparently very appropriate to Wright's own experiences, so it seems very special to hear him speaking the lyrics. It also features a great David Gilmour guitar performance and a wonderfully buttery guitar tone!
