David Gilmour, celebrated for his iconic role in Pink Floyd, has also carved out a remarkable solo touring history, marked by musical depth and intimate performances.
David Gilmour’s solo touring began in the mid-1980s with the “About Face Tour” in 1984, showcasing his album “About Face.” This tour set the stage for Gilmour’s solo identity, distinct from Pink Floyd’s sound.
Years later, the “On an Island Tour” in 2006 further solidified Gilmour’s solo presence. Highlighting his album “On an Island,” this tour featured a blend of the album’s tracks and Pink Floyd classics, backed by an ensemble of skilled musicians.
Gilmour’s most recent major tour, the “Rattle That Lock Tour” in 2015-2016, supported his album “Rattle That Lock.” This tour spanned across Europe, North America, and South America, showcasing a mix of his latest solo work and Pink Floyd favourites. Notably, it included performances in historic venues and collaborations with a variety of musicians, enhancing the musical experience.
David Gilmour will once again be on the road in 2024 with his Luck and Strange album tour. There will be a full performance of the latest album but not a hits parade from the Pink Floyd catalogue. I guess David doesn’t particularly want to play Roger Waters’ songs that much on his tour given the state of the relationship between the Gilmour family and Roger.
Throughout his solo touring career, Gilmour has consistently delivered performances that resonate with his fans, blending his newer solo material with the beloved sounds of Pink Floyd. His tours are not just concerts but musical journeys that showcase his enduring talent and appeal as a solo artist.
