David Gilmour

In the context of the Meltdown concert in 2002, David Gilmour had recently released his solo album "On an Island" just a few years earlier, in 2006. However, it’s fascinating to note that Gilmour had a rich collaborative history, especially with Richard Wright, who was a significant force in Pink Floyd. The concert itself took place shortly after Wright’s solo work, showcasing their enduring connection. The performance of "Breakthrough" highlights not only Gilmour's exceptional guitar work but also the poignant blend of their artistic styles. Interestingly, this concert was part of a series curated by Gilmour, emphasizing his deep ties to both the music and his fellow artists. It’s a beautiful reminder of how Gilmour continues to celebrate the legacy of his bandmates even as he carves out his musical journey.
