David Gilmour

In December 1991, David Gilmour graced the stage for Amnesty International’s Big 30 concert, a landmark event celebrating human rights through music. This performance, highlighting 'On the Turning Away,' came shortly after the release of his iconic solo album, 'About Face,' in 1984, and just before he would return to his role with Pink Floyd during the 'The Division Bell' sessions in the mid-90s. Gilmour's rich guitar tones and heartfelt vocals resonated deeply with the audience, embodying not just his musical journey but also a commitment to important causes. As a member of Pink Floyd, he often channeled emotional depth into his performances, and this live rendition captured that raw energy perfectly. Fun fact: this era was pivotal as Gilmour began bridging his solo artistic expression with his legacy in Pink Floyd, paving the way for a creatively rich phase in his career.
