Recorded: August 26th, 2006

Release date: September 22nd, 2008

Live In Gdańsk is a part of Gilmour's On an Island project, which includes an album, tour, DVD, and live album. It is a recording of 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 Poland's 1980 revolution.

Live In Gdańsk is also the final Pink Floyd-related recording to feature the late Richard Wright, who died on September 15, 2008, one week before the album's official release.

Gilmour and his band were backed by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zbigniew Preisner and Leszek Możdżer on piano.
