David Gilmour

In June 1986, David Gilmour delivered a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Columbian Volcano Relief Benefit. At this point in his career, he had just released his second solo album, "About Face," in 1984, which showcased his unique blend of rock and introspective storytelling. This live recording exemplifies Gilmour's exceptional guitar work and emotive vocals, which have become hallmarks of his style. Notably, he was playing a mix of both solo material and some classic Pink Floyd tracks, bringing together fans of both his solo endeavors and the band's legacy. The event, aimed at raising funds for victims of the volcanic eruption in Colombia, also highlights Gilmour's commitment to using his music for a greater cause, reflecting a compassionate side to his rock star persona.
