David Gilmour's 70,000 fans gather for his first ever concert in Buenos Aires Hipódormo de San Isidrio, Argentina. The singer-songwriter decided to craft a setlist blending his own solo material with highly anticipated and well-loved Pink Floyd tunes. The first half of the gig brought the audience Dark Side of the Moon classics "Us & Them" and "Money" along with solo cuts " 5 A.M.," "In Any Tongue" and "A Boat Lies Waiting" from his latest studio album, Rattle That Lock. The show saw a similar second set of debut album track "Astronomy Domine," Atom Heart Mother's "Fat Old Sun" and Wish You Were Here fan favorite, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." As the set continued, the 69-year-old guitar legend rolled out more solo material off of his fourth studio album including "The Girl in the Yellow Dress," "Today," and "On An Island" trailed by his former group's "Sorrow" and The Wall track, "Run Like Hell."

La primera gran ovación de la noche estalló cuando empuñó una guitarra acústica y desgranó las primeras notas de Wish you were here, el clásico grabado en el disco homónimo de 1975. El espíritu de Dark side of the moon, la obra maestra editada en 1973, prosiguió con Us and them, la emocionante canción que hace referencia a la alienación, y luego de interpretar In any tongue y High Hopes, con una hora de show, Gilmour anunció un breve intervalo de 20 minutos. El regreso fue a pura psicodelia, acompañado por un verdadero carnaval de luces de colores, de la mano de Astronomy Domino, una de las primeras composiciones de Pink Floyd, a cargo de Syd Barret, fundador de la banda. El homenaje al genio creador siguió con Shine on you, crazy diamond, lo que provocó una de las ovaciones más grandes de la noche. ...no podría existir mejor final de un recital de Gilmour que Confortably numb, sobre todo por el impresionante solo de guitarra del cierre, el cual probablemente se encuentre entre los más destacados de la historia del rock.
