David Gilmour Live in Gdansk - Performance at Shipyard
In August 2006, David Gilmour performed a stunning live set at the historic Stocznia Gdańska, part of his 'On an Island' tour, showcasing tracks from his latest studio album of the same name. Released in March 2006, 'On an Island' marked Gilmour's first solo album in over a decade, featuring a blend of melodic guitar work and reflective lyrics. The live recording not only emphasized his exceptional guitar mastery but also highlighted the collaboration with longtime friend and bandmate Richard Wright, who contributed keyboards and vocals during the concert. Interestingly, this performance took place in a venue steeped in history, renowned for its association with the Solidarity movement in Poland, adding a layer of significance to the event. The combination of Gilmour's emotive play and the venue's rich background created a night to remember, etching this concert into the hearts of fans.
