David Gilmour Live at Pompeii: The Great Gig In The Sky Performance
Before David Gilmour took the stage for his live performance in Pompeii on September 13, 2017, he had just released his album 'Rattle That Lock' in 2015. This album marked his first solo project in a decade, showcasing his trademark ethereal guitar work and introspective lyrics. What's fascinating about this live recording is that it continues the legacy of the original 'Live at Pompeii' film from 1971, a project that was deeply influential in the realm of rock. Gilmour’s 2017 concert, held in the iconic Roman amphitheater, provided a stunning visual and auditory experience, drawing on both new material and classic Pink Floyd tracks. The performance was a celebration not only of his career but also of the history of music in a location that has echoed with art for centuries. Can you imagine playing in a place with such rich history?
