Pink Floyd

In July 1984, David Gilmour performed live at the Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA, during a pivotal moment in his career following the peak of Pink Floyd's success. This concert occurred shortly after the release of Pink Floyd's thirteenth studio album, "The Final Cut," which came out in March 1983. "The Final Cut" was a poignant reflection on war and loss, and marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing more of Roger Waters' influence and leading ultimately to his departure from the group. The live recording serves as a reminder of Gilmour's role as a leading force in Pink Floyd, as he began to focus more on his solo career during this period. By 1984, tensions within the band were palpable, yet Gilmour's performances maintained the band's iconic sound and legacy, paving the way for future projects, including the eventual regrouping of Pink Floyd for "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987.
