The buyer was Indianapolis Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay, whose collection of famous vintage guitars and rock memorabilia – at least in terms of sheer monetary value – has few parallels. Last Friday (September 9), in celebration of the recent kickoff of the Colts' 2022 season, Irsay summoned a laundry list of guitar greats – among them Kenny Wayne Shepherd – to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for a free, all-star concert. Irsay partially used the show as an opportunity to showcase his legendary collection, with Shepherd taking Gilmour's Black Strat for a spin during a cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Watch the performance – the guitar's most public outing since its 2019 sale – here.
