This performance, which appears to be from the 2006-2008 tour promoting his third solo album, "On an Island" (2006), reflects a significant period in Gilmour's career. Following the album's initial release, Gilmour embarked on a successful tour where he introduced songs from the album while also delving into classic Pink Floyd tracks.
