However, after the release of their 12th album "Final Cut" in 1983, Pink Floyd did not tour and the band went on hiatus. The band goes on hiatus, and each member begins work on a solo album. David Gilmour produces his second solo album, "Profile of Madness (About Face)", and tours Europe and North America for 74 shows on the , starting with a concert in Newcastle, England on March 30 of the same year.The April 30 London performance was recorded for a TV/video production, broadcast on MTV and sold by CBS (now out of print).
