45 years after Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour filmed ‘Live At Pompeii’
in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre there, he returned for two
spectacular shows, part of his year-long tour in support of his No.1
album ‘Rattle That Lock’. The performances were the first-ever rock
concerts for an audience in the stone Roman amphitheatre, and, for two
nights only, the 2,600 strong crowd stood exactly where gladiators would
have fought in the first century AD. The show includes songs from
throughout David's career, as well as many Pink Floyd classics,
including 'One Of These Days', the only song that was also performed at
the band’s 1971 show. Both concerts also saw very special performances
of 'The Great Gig In The Sky' from 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' which
David rarely plays as a solo artist. The 2-disc concert CD was produced
by David Gilmour, and mixed by Andy Jackson and David Gilmour. David
Gilmour Live At Pompeii’ shows an artist at the top of his artistic
game, performing incredible material with his world-class band, in a
unique setting on one very special occasion.
