Live performance, 2024, from 'Luck and Strange Concerts'. Gilmour used the Gibson ES-335 for a different tone on this tour and album, as confirmed by Guitar World.

Notes & Caveats
- No specific amp knob settings for Alessandro Redbone Special found for this live version; values estimated based on typical Gilmour clean/edge-of-breakup settings and amp type.
- Guitar confirmed as ES-335 for Luck & Strange era, but pickup selector not explicitly stated; neck pickup inferred from tone and Gilmour's typical solo approach.
- Effects chain based on best available sources and audible effects in the live solo; exact pedal order and settings not fully confirmed for this specific concert.
- No evidence of Hiwatt or Black Strat for this specific live solo; ES-335 and Alessandro Redbone Special cited as primary gear for Luck & Strange live shows.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Gilmour's 'Marooned' solo tone is smooth, sustaining, and ambient, with edge-of-breakup gain, strong mids, and lush reverb. The Luck and Strange live version maintains his signature warmth and clarity, likely using a Hiwatt-style amp with boosted mids, moderate bass, restrained treble, and prominent reverb for the expansive, atmospheric feel.
