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.

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 H
