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.
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

Love Gilmour. He's definitely the better half of Pink Floyd. I've got Live At Pompeii and now I have to listen to it before the Eagles play! Go Birds!!!
