Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour recently kicked off his 2024 tour. After recently releasing his new solo album “Luck and Strange” to critical acclaim, he started touring in support.

He first performed two special “rehearsal shows” at The Brighton Centre in Brighton, England. The tour began in earnest on the 27th of September with a concert at the Circo Massimo in Rome, Italy.
The rest of the set was majorly made up of Pink Floyd material, including such iconic tracks as “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb.” Gilmour also delivered several rarities, including “Breathe (In the Air),” a track from The Dark Side of the Moon, for the first time since 2006.
Meanwhile, two tunes from Pink Floyd’s 1994 album The Division Bell were also revived, as Gilmour played “Marooned” and “A Great Day for Freedom” for the first time since 2004 and 2006, respectively.
