David Gilmour Live Performance of The Blue at Pompeii
In July 2016, David Gilmour performed 'The Blue' at the historic Anfiteatro Romano in Pompeii, a site steeped in history and famously linked to his earlier film work. Prior to this live recording, Gilmour had released his album 'Rattle That Lock' in 2015, which marked a significant chapter in his solo career post-Pink Floyd. Interesting tidbit: this performance was part of a tour celebrating his legacy and the allure of live music in iconic places. The concert at Pompeii was particularly special, as it revisited the setting of his 1971 film, capturing both the magic of the ruins and the evolution of Gilmour's artistry over decades. With a blend of nostalgia and innovation, Gilmour crafted a live experience that resonated deeply with fans old and new.
