David Gilmour Live Performance of Until We Sleep from 1984 UK Music Show
In March 1984, David Gilmour performed 'Until We Sleep' during a live recording that captures a pivotal moment in his solo career, just after the release of his self-titled debut solo album in 1978. By this time, he was also heavily recognized for his work with Pink Floyd, further solidifying his status in the rock world. The concert showcases a blend of his signature guitar work and emotive vocals. Interestingly, 'Until We Sleep,' later featured on his 'About Face' album released in 1984, reflects Gilmour’s introspection about the human experience—something that resonates deeply in both his solo and band work. It's fascinating to see how he balances his individual artistry with the massive legacy of Pink Floyd, ensuring that even during this transitional period, his music remains intimate and relatable.
