Further adding to the previous release of all Pink Floyd releases from the departure of Roger Waters in 360 Reality Audio. Fans of David Gilmour’s solo work can now celebrate that the guitarist is offering his 2008 ‘Live In Gdansk” album in a brand new 360 Sony Reality Audio mix.

Gilmour, after recently releasing several live shows and his albums ‘Rattle That Lock‘, ‘On An Island‘, ‘David Gilmour‘ and ‘About Face‘, late last year for the first time in High Resolution quality via HDtracks, now returns to share his live work, ‘ Live In Gdansk ‘ but the novelty is that he does so in this time in a 360º Reality Audio version.

Live In Gdansk is a 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 the final Pink Floyd-related recording to feature Richard Wright, who died on 15 September 2008, one week before the album’s official release. Also notably, this concert took place approximately one month following the death of Syd Barrett. Gilmour and his band were backed by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zbigniew Preisner. Leszek Możdżer was featured on piano as a special guest.
