David Gilmour - Sorrow (Live At Pompeii)

A performance of 'Sorrow' live at Pompeii.

*DAVID GILMOUR LIVE AT POMPEII DVD*
David Gilmour ‘Live At Pompeii’ OUT NOW! Listen and order here:

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.

David auctioned off over a hundred of his guitars and instruments to charity! He raised over 21 MILLION dollars for the charity!! He has a such a big heart made of gold!!! I just love Pink Floyd!!

David Gilmour, was the first live act in that arena since 79AD. I doubt the designer(s) could have imagined their Arena hosting the greatest guitar player in music history.

[PandaMoniumReviews]

When watching modern day Gilmour relentlessly shred out his masterfully dreamy guitar solos, you can occasionally see the long haired early 70's man appear for a split second. Long live David Gilmour, and long live what remains of The Pink Floyd.

[conz]

So are we just not gonna mention that beast of a bass riff? One of the best in my humble opinion

[Moulmite]

That moment when David closes his eyes and just let his fingers do the job... So incredible how he his talented and how he sound... He is just THE greatest guitar player ever.

[honkerhr]

My life goal is to enjoy my job as much as this drummer.

[Wolfdog]

The guitar is an extension of his body .. no one else brings out that level of feel via a guitar .. he is uniquely gifted .. long live the king

[jkxoxo]

Again and again he gives me the chills. No boring, mechanical but technically perfect fretboard-wanking. Just a smooth and yet exciting flow of musicality... Thank you Mr. Gilmour.

[kornfreak]

Greatest musician that ever lived... Gilmour is a living legend!

[christinesmilak]

Somehow Gilmore almost sounds spiritual when he plays his guitar. He always plays from his soul it seems. Gilmore, the best guitar player ever!! No one has even come close to his simple perfection. A true guitar god.

[markskinner]

Stop asking if people are here. This is TIMELESS

[luvwings]

This will end up being Gilmour most memorable performance.

[megaxr]

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river roll
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken

[rahulramgopal]

I am just glad that David is alive with all of us in the internet age because we can consume and preserve his wizardry in 4K for eons to come

[jeanchristopheblanc]

I always said that David Gilmour came from another planet ❤
