David Gilmour

In July 2016, David Gilmour performed two nights at the Ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, marking a significant moment in his career, particularly as it was his first live performance at this iconic location. This concert took place after the release of his fourth solo studio album, "Rattle That Lock," which came out in September 2015. The album was well-received and showcased Gilmour's continued evolution as a solo artist post-Pink Floyd, blending his signature guitar work with fresh contemporary elements. The Pompeii concert was notable not only for its historical context—45 years after Pink Floyd’s famous film shot at the same venue—but also for showcasing Gilmour’s enduring talent and appeal, as well as his ability to captivate audiences with both new material and classic hits. This live recording serves as a testament to his lasting impact on the music world and his deep connection to theatrical and historical venues.
