recording of the final show of his On an Island Tour in 2006, where he played to an audience of 50,000 at the Gdańsk Shipyard to celebrate the founding of the Solidarity trade union. The show featured the song “A Great Day for Freedom“, from the Pink Floyd album The Division Bell (1994) and was the only show of the tour to feature it. It was last performed by Gilmour during his semi-acoustic shows in 2002.
Gilmour played the entire On an Island album during this concert.
It’s also the final Pink Floyd-related recording to feature Richard Wright, who died on 15 September 2008, one week before the album’s official release.
