Pink Floyd

In May 1978, when the live recording at The Roxy was made featuring David Gilmour, Pink Floyd was in a transitional phase following the monumental success of their 1977 album "Animals." This period was marked by a significant shift in their musical direction, as tensions within the band were escalating. Gilmour's presence in this recording highlights his role as a leading creative force in Pink Floyd, especially as they were gearing up for the release of "The Wall," which came out in 1979. Interestingly, this performance showcases Gilmour's venture into solo work during this era, reflected in his earlier solo album "David Gilmour," released in 1978. The setlist, featuring tracks demonstrating his emotive guitar work and distinct style, serves to remind audiences of his significant contributions both as a solo artist and as a key member of Pink Floyd during a pivotal time in their career.
