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.

Now Pompeii is famous for two events
1. Historic Volcanic Eruption
2. This Legendary solo

[vitorblum]

At that moment, for a few minutes, David Gilmour certainly was the most badass human being alive.

[victorav]

The planet has 4.5 billion years and you're sharing this era with David Gilmour. So, be fuckin' grateful.

[steaksandwiches]

My 12 year old boy was rocking to this in his room. I did good.

[angelosk.]

This guitar speaks to every single human's soul

[arunbelur]

The best guitar solo in the history of Rock and Roll. It's not an opinion. It's a god damn FACT!!

[vittoprince]

Everyone’s talking about the solo, but can we just appreciate that David still has a pretty good singing voice in his 70s?

[mattmckell]

Two things:
1 - David Gilmour is a master.
2 - Love how much the drummer enjoyed Gilmour’s solo. :D

[dannyboy]

The drummer smiled from start to finish, he knew he was a part of a historical moment in music, simply amazing.

[santoshmishra]

Giving an ad between this solo is the worst possible crime I can think of!!

[sanhd]

[colinturner]

The greatest guitar performance of all time

[enikkss]

David Gilmour is the only guitarist to have ever made me cry.

[chokysenge]

Love the drummer’s sheer face of joy through the whole song

[jimwebb]

I’m 77 and listening to the best music on the planet

[cdeventures]

Let's face it. There's no other song in the world to give you goosebumps this many times.

[gregbeyer]

No pretension, no grandstanding, no showing off. He doesn't even try to look cool. Yet Gilmour in his jeans and t-shirt looks cooler and sounds better than any other guitarist out there. And all he's doing is standing there and delivering the most incredible solo of all time. How much professionalism do you want? All of it!

[thebigbort]

The joy on the drummer’s face is contagious. He’s just so happy to be playing along with this legend.
