David Gilmour

In 1987, David Gilmour was riding high off the success of his 1984 self-titled solo album, which had solidified his post-Pink Floyd career. By the time he performed with Kate Bush at the Amnesty International concert, he was transitioning into a more collaborative phase, seeking to harness the power of live performance for activism. This live show at The Palladium in London is especially memorable not just for its stunning musical offerings, including Bush's iconic "Running Up That Hill," but also for the strong undercurrent of political and social justice that characterized the event. Gilmour's guitar work here melds beautifully with Bush’s ethereal vocals, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that resonates with the audience even decades later. Both artists showcased their commitment to using their platform for meaningful causes, making this performance a powerful moment in their careers.
