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 love that in every clip from this show, the drummer looks like he's thinking "this is it. This is the finest hour of my life."

Oh my god! What a version! goosebumps with the voices!

Been a fan for 50 years. Thought the original was perfection until this happened. Literally.. can't watch this on Blu-ray without eyes welling up with tears.

This song will be played at the closing of my funeral procession. I want everyone to share a tear yet leave with a smile! Nuff SAID

[tomraintree]

What a huge honor to be a vocalist and work for this man it must be

It seems that Rick Wright has left us for that Great Gig in the Sky

[Intro: Gerry O'Driscoll]
I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime

[Hook: Clare Torry]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[paulashdown]

That lump in your throat and the chill you get down your spine when you watch this <3

[marciolima]

I can't believe those vocals are real! The best live version I could see so far.... Thank you so much, Mr Gilmour!

[BenTothHU]

In my humble opinion, this is the best live version of this song. The most majestic, musician, and impressive

[bugsbunny]

Clare Torry owns this forever. Nobody can ever come close.

[filipe]

I can't hold some tears listening this song, and "Us and Them"

[franciscoherlein]

This version is fantastic, much more elaborate and innovative. But, the 1994 version (PULSE) with Sam Brown is unmatched ... it touched my heart and to this day it makes me cry.

[AngeloRen]

At the start of the video: "Ok, I 'm not gonna cry"...until 2:49 with the singer in the middle...I lost it.

[marksmolders]

This is the music they are playing when you are walking into Heaven. 🙏

[wjetghn]

Love how that MFF backing trio absolutely smashed out their own take of the vocal solo one after another while David sat playing his sitar like nothing going on. but we all know it was the spectacle of the song.

[lastchild]

That singer is bringing it. Beautiful.
