David Gilmour Live at Pompeii Blu-Ray
14 okt 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.
