David Gilmour

In June 1992, during a particularly fascinating phase of his career, David Gilmour performed 'Purple Rain' alongside the legendary Tom Jones on a live broadcast titled 'The Right Time.' This performance came shortly after the release of Gilmour's highly acclaimed solo album 'About Face,' which dropped in 1984. While he had taken a break from studio albums in the late '80s and early '90s, returning to live performances allowed him to experiment with his signature sound. Interestingly, the chemistry between Gilmour's soaring guitar work and Jones' powerful vocals during this rendition showcased a delightful blending of rock and soul, breathing new life into a beloved classic. It's not every day you see Gilmour share the stage with such an iconic figure, making this performance all the more special.
