David Gilmour

In 1984, David Gilmour was riding high on the wave of his solo career, coming off the back of his album "About Face," which was released just a few months prior in March. This time marked a pivotal moment for him, as he was stepping out of the massive shadows cast by Pink Floyd and really asserting his identity as a solo artist. The live recording of "Love On The Air" at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco during the "About Face" tour showcases not only his stellar guitar work but also his distinctive vocal style. Interestingly, this period featured some of Gilmour's most personal songwriting, which he later reflected on as a dive into more intimate themes. It’s fascinating how this performance captures the raw energy and artistic freedom he was exploring, bridging the gap between his past with Pink Floyd and his burgeoning solo legacy.
