David Gilmour's 70,000 fans gather for his first ever concert in Buenos Aires Hipódormo de San Isidrio, Argentina.

El guitarrista y cantante de Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, tocó el viernes por primera vez en la Argentina y brindó un memorable concierto de casi tres horas, ante unas 60 mil personas, en el Hipódromo de San Isidro, en el que revivió la magia del popular conjunto inglés.
...el excelso guitarrista mostró prácticamente todas las canciones de su último trabajo (titulado Rattle that lock) y recreó algunas de las más brillantes composiciones popularizadas por el cuarteto que integró junto a Roger Waters, Richard Wright y Nick Mason.
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.

David Gilmour, the legendary guitarist of Pink Floyd, has made it clear that he will “absolutely not” perform with former bandmate Roger Waters again. The two iconic musicians, who were integral to the band’s success, have had a notoriously strained relationship over the years, with creative and personal differences driving a wedge between them.
In a recent interview, Gilmour addressed the long-standing rumors and fan hopes of a reunion, stating that the chapter is closed for good. He expressed that despite the magic they created together in the past, particularly on albums like The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, there is too much tension for any future collaboration. Gilmour emphasized that he has no interest in working with Waters again, citing that their relationship has been fraught with difficulties for decades.
This isn’t the first time Gilmour has dismissed reunion possibilities. While the two briefly reunited for a one-off performance at the 2005 Live 8 concert in London, it was widely considered a rare exception. Since then, both musicians have pursued solo careers, with Waters continuing to tour and present his political views through music, while Gilmour has focused on his own solo projects and collaborations.
For fans hoping for a final Pink Floyd reunion, Gilmour’s definitive statement is a blow, but it solidifies the end of one of rock’s most successful yet tumultuous partnerships. Despite their differences, both Gilmour and Waters’ contributions to Pink Floyd have left an indelible mark on the music world, but their paths, as Gilmour confirms, will remain separate.
