David Gilmour

In 1985, David Gilmour was deeply involved in his solo career following his successful stint with Pink Floyd. The live recording of "Comfortably Numb" showcases his stunning guitar work and emotional delivery, capturing a pivotal moment just before the release of his second solo album, 'About Face,' which came out in March 1984. This powerful performance highlights Gilmour's signature style and his ability to connect with an audience through music. Interestingly, 1985 marked the time when he was also part of the monumental Live Aid concert, where he supported humanitarian causes with his iconic sound. This era was crucial for Gilmour as he looked to establish himself beyond the legendary band while staying connected to his roots in rock.
