David Gilmour Live at Pompeii (#)

An image of David Gilmour performing live in Pompeii

David Gilmour performs live in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre at Pompeii, featuring astonishing music from his solo career alongside Pink Floyd classics.

45 years after Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour filmed Live At Pompeii in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre, 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.

David Gilmour Live At Pompeii is an audio-visual spectacle, featuring lasers, pyrotechnics and a huge circular screen on which specially-created films complement selected songs, but paramount above all is the astonishing music and stellar performances from an all-star band. 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.

Perhaps best known for his work with Monty Python, Terry Gilliam has since taken us on a series of journeys into stunningly realised alternate worlds such as Twelve Monkeys and Brazil. And The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus was no exception.
