David Gilmour

In 2004, David Gilmour was enjoying a career resurgence following a substantial hiatus from solo work and the completion of Pink Floyd's last studio album, "The Division Bell" (1994). Before the live recording at the Strat Pack Concert held at Wembley Arena, Gilmour released his third solo studio album, "On an Island," in 2006, but he had been active in the music scene through various collaborations and tours leading up to this performance. The September 26, 2004 event showcased Gilmour's exceptional guitar skills, highlighted by members like Phil Manzanera and Pino Palladino supporting him. Gilmour's performance of "Coming Back to Life," a song from the Pink Floyd kit, reflects his deep connection to the band's legacy while also indicating his readiness to embark on his solo journey anew, underscoring his role as a guitarist extraordinaire in rock history.
