  In February 1986, when David Gilmour performed "Comfortably Numb" at the Royal Albert Hall for the Colombian Volcano Disaster Appeal Concert, Pink Floyd was in a transitional phase following the release of their album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987. This period marked a significant turning point for the band, as it was the first album after Roger Waters' departure, leading to a renewed focus on Gilmour’s creative direction. The live performance captured in the recording showcased the band's enduring musicality, with Gilmour’s iconic guitar work and vocals. Notably, the concert included collaborations with artists such as Sam Brown and drummer Simon Phillips, emphasizing the communal spirit of the event. This performance exemplified how Pink Floyd, even in its altered lineup, continued to reach audiences through powerful live music, maintaining their legacy in the rock genre.
