Watching: David Gilmour - London 1984

Overview

David Gilmour — Pink Floyd writer, singer, and guitarist extraordinaire — in a hard-rocking 1984 solo concert. This powerful show is drawn from the benchmark tour when David fully established himself as an independent artist, with his own voice — even as he was poised to take Pink Floyd into the future. Shot with great professionalism, this state-of-the-art film reveals sides of David Gilmour's music that Floyd fans were only then becoming aware of. Largely focused on the second David Gilmour solo album "About Face," songs include a number of Gilmour originals: "Until We Sleep," "Out Of The Blue," "Blue Light," and others — in moods ranging from tight, searing hard rock to contemplative folk-rock. Recorded live April 30, 1984 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London
