45 years after Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour filmed ‘Live At Pompeii’ in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre there, he returned for two spectacular shows that took place on 7 & 8 July 2016, 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 experience on its own, while the audio-visual spectacle features lasers, pyrotechnics and a huge circular screen on which specially-created films complement selected songs. Paramount, however, is the incredible music: 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. The 148-minute concert film includes highlights from both shows, filmed in 4k by director Gavin Elder. DVD and Blu-ray versions contain an extra 7-minute documentary by Gavin Elder ‘Pompeii Then And Now’, while the Deluxe Blu-ray 4-disc box contains the 2xCD version, the 1xBlu-ray version, and a full 207 minutes of extra footage: 11 live performances and 5 documentaries, plus bonus collectables. Vinyl lovers can enjoy a deluxe 4xLP version in gatefold sleeves and a hardback slipcase, plus a 24-page photo booklet.

‘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.

*ABOUT DAVID GILMOUR*

A Cambridge friend of Syd Barrett, David joined Syd, with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, in Pink Floyd in early 1968, only for Syd to leave the group five gigs later. Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

I’m 63 my late husband would be 66....we had the BEST music when we were young. He passed 4 years ago and at his funeral we I had the full 11 mins of “ Shine on you Crazy Diamond’ as he’d wanted. He was a guitarist and many years ago in the jammed with David. (We live in England) I wasn’t into Floyd till I met hubby 30 years ago....he taught me to appreciate their music. Now listening/watching is bitter sweet...

Lost my dad 7 months ago due to congestive heart failure, he was only 51. He was a big floyd fan, he introduced them to me at a young age and I'm forever grateful. I love you dad, I wish you were here.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found? The same old fears
Wish you were here

Literally chills as the crowd sung that, reminds me of a Queen Concert.

Dear Mr Gilmour, my husband passed away recently in a tragic unexpected event. He was a fan of Pink Floyd since his teens in the 60’s. He had just turned 70, he saw Australian Pink Floyd last few years with our eldest son and then they saw Roger Waters too other year in Glasgow and he got the ‘Resist’ t shirt which he was wearing when he died. He and my son were watching the Pompeii concert during lockdown. Tomorrow is his funeral, we are playing Wish You Were Here in his memory. Thanks for the music and such joy it gave him throughout his life 🙏❤️🌹💔

Dedicated to my brother who lives in heaven since three years ago. How I whish you were here.

It awsome to see how the musicians are so happy to play with Gilmour!

[hallandemorais]

This song reminds me of a great love I had. We couldn't be together because of these absurd turns that life takes. Even though we hurt each other with behaviors and everything else that makes relationships go to hell, I will always keep every detail in my memory. I remember one night we were cuddled together listening to this song, and I felt like I could die, I was so happy... I've never felt so full, so strong, so healthy, and at the same time, vulnerable.

I will always remember this when I hear it, my heart will warm at the memory and tighten, but life goes on. It's a beautiful, deep pain. The most unfortunate loves need wonderful music to survive this daily avalanche so that we can meet death one day, with our hearts open.

The entire album is a masterpiece but this song will always be the best of the best

Dear Mr. Gilmour, I wish you all the best on your 75th birthday.

You have changed my life for the better and I want to say thank you.

[gianfrancocolaianni]

18 years old and these gives me goosebumps. I think I found the style of music I want to listen for the rest of my life. DG numero 1

My dad used to always play pink floyd in the car when he took me to school - every time a solo came on (particularly for comfortably numb) he'd turn the volume up so loud it would dig right into your brain, I loved it. He died 2.5 years ago at 62, and we played this at his funeral, listening to pink floyd is one of the only ways I feel close to him, and I'm always listening at full volume like he wanted.

[keithlester]

The joy in this man’s face when he plays his music is unmatched

[michaelkupzig]

[fullsentimental]

One of the most beautiful song ever written...

[fatimabaez]

It's 00:35 here in my country. I can't sleep. It's one of those nights... A part of my life feels like a dream. I miss you so much, it hurts, dad. I hope to see you again someday...
