David Gilmour

In the spring of 1984, David Gilmour was riding high on the success of his first solo album, simply titled 'David Gilmour,' which had been released in 1978. This live performance at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon came shortly after his second solo album, 'About Face,' hit the shelves in March of that year, showcasing his growth as a solo artist away from Pink Floyd. The setlist mixed tracks from both albums, featuring fan favorites like 'Until We Sleep' and 'All Lovers Are Deranged.' It's interesting to note that during this period, Gilmour was asserting his individuality while still being deeply entwined with his Pink Floyd legacy. This show, marked by his signature guitar work and emotive vocals, would not only reaffirm his prowess as a live performer but also set the stage for a fruitful future beyond his roots.
