David Gilmour Live Performance of 'Murder' from Guitar Greats Concert

Venue: Guitar Greats Concert Date: November 20, 1984

On November 20, 1984, David Gilmour performed the song "Murder" live at the Guitar Greats Concert, following the release of his second solo album, "About Face," which came out earlier that year. This album marked Gilmour's reconsolidation as a solo artist after his time with Pink Floyd, particularly following the band's highly successful period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including landmark albums like "The Wall" and "The Final Cut." "Murder," a notable track from "About Face," showcases Gilmour's more personal songwriting and musical experimentation outside the context of Pink Floyd. By this time, Gilmour was evolving as a prominent figure in rock music, blending his distinctive guitar work and vocal style to carve out a unique identity, while also performing tracks that highlighted the band's progressive rock legacy. This live performance at the Guitar Greats reflects not only his solo endeavors but also the continuous influence of Pink Floyd's artistry.
