Awesome - breathtaking - stunning. DG, maybe the best rock guitarist at present, again proves he is doing the best rock shows ever. Genius loci and déjà vu that will get you into your knees. Bravo, David! And once again: Awesome - breathtaking - stunning, Awesome - breathtaking - stunning.

Over 70 and Still Screaming
jonmurdock20 September 2017
David Gilmour makes it scream whether it's a Gibson with a whammy, a strat, or a beat up telecaster. This guy can WAIL at 70+ years of age, and not only that, sing. It would be a great show for any Pink Floyd fan in any conventional setting, but the fact that this is recorded at Pompeii is maximus head-rushis. The song that REALLY jumped out during the opening numbers was The Great Gig in the Sky, where singer Lucita Jules was truly amazing to watch and hear. Her mouth is so large she looks like a human Pez Dispenser, but the sound coming out of that mouth is something to behold. Her companion, Louise Clare Marshall, also has a great singing voice - although your attention may be focused on her large booty during the entire show. If you have attended many rock concerts, this is pretty much how this one works as do the rest: some questionable stuff with interjections of great stuff building up to the greatest stuff and a mind-boggling light show. As a Pink Floyd fan, I am gonna go ahead and give this film a 9/10 score. I may re- do that score later, as my sound system is far superior than that of my local theater.
Deluxe Box Set Edition

Simple Brilliant, what more can be said. I got the Deluxe edition with 2 discs and 2 CD discs. Well worth the money. The extras are very good on this set and worth having. I agree with verjan2 The concert is Awesome - breathtaking - stunning. The CD's are worthwhile as you can listen on the move. excellent sound quality on the BluRay with DTS-HD MA 5.1 and LPCM 2.0 on the 2nd BluRay disc
David gilmour at his absolute best
hiddenwithin-3545530 September 2017
An absolute legend, the greatest rock guitarist in history, still performing after this amount of time. From the greatest rock group of all time, David gilmour is truly a master of his craft. His sound is as pure and clinical as any artist you will find. His music is haunting and never fails to give me shivers. Truly one of, if not the greatest guitarist of all time. This concert is magnificent, wonderful, moving and David gilmour at his constant and absolute best.
awesome greatness !!

I'm just not that all impressed. I think royal albert hall was probably better. just that the tech has changed since then. makes it visually ok. i do like some of his new music. I did not care for the comparison of Pompeii then and now. it was way too self gratifying and it was like the other band members didn't exist. I can see why they broke up. ego's destroy, not make a band. same as real life, work and country. oh did i forget greed,lol !!!
Spectaculum
Prismark1019 November 2017
He may have hit 70 in 2016 but former Pink Floyd member David Gilmour is still performing and in the Pompeii Amphitheatre, he does the first public performance at the venue since 79 AD.
Gilmour teams up with longtime collaborator Marc Brickman for an audio visual spectacular. Brickman is the maestro of colour and light, what better way to bring his magic to work in the amphitheatre known as the the Spectaculum.
Gilmour performs songs from his solo career as well as from his Pink Floyd days including 'Wish You Were Here' 'Comfortably Numb' and 'One Of These Days.'
Fans of Pink Floyd will lap this up.
