David Gilmour Live At Pompeii 4LP Box Set
29 sept 2017
The concerts were the first-ever rock performances played to an
audience in the ancient Roman amphitheatre, which was built in 90
BC and entombed in ash when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. David
Gilmour is the only performer to play to an audience in the arena
since the time of the gladiators, almost 2,000 years ago.
Speaking about the Pompeii shows David Gilmour commented “It’s a
magical place and coming back and seeing the stage and the arena
was quite overwhelming. It’s a place of ghosts...” The concert
performance film, David Gilmour Live at Pompeii, was shot in 4k by
director Gavin Elder and includes highlights from both shows. The
concert is a spectacular audio-visual experience, featuring the
famous huge circular cyclorama screen as well as lasers,
pyrotechnics and stellar performances from an all-star band. The
film includes songs from throughout David’s career including the
title tracks of his two most recent No. 1 solo albums: Rattle That
Lock and On An Island. Also included are other solo and Pink Floyd
classics such as “Wish You Were Here,” “Comfortably Numb” and “One
Of These Days,” the only song that was also performed by the band
in 1971. Both concerts also saw extraordinary performances of “The
Great Gig In The Sky” from “The Dark Side Of The Moon,” which David
rarely plays as a solo artist. David Gilmour – Live At Pompeii will
be released world-wide in various formats on September 29, 2017.
For one night only on September 13th over
2000 cinemas worldwide will be showing David Gilmour - Live At
Pompeii.
