Watch Now: David Gilmour – Live At Pompeii (Full concert on YouTube for a week)

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Pink Floyd’s final upload for the YouTube Film Festival, in the form of David Gilmour’s Live At Pompeii concert, is live now for the next week.

45 years after Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour filmed ‘Live At Pompeii’ in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre there, he returned for two spectacular shows in July 2016, part of the year-long tour in support of his No. 1 album Rattle That Lock. The performances were the first-ever rock concerts for an audience in the stone Roman amphitheatre, and, for two nights only, the 2,600-strong crowd stood exactly where gladiators would have fought in the first century AD.

This version is the full concert, spanning 2.5 hours and featuring 21 songs from David and Pink Floyd’s catalogues.

It will be available to stream on YouTube until the 17th of May.

Enjoy, and remember to stay safe and stay home as much as possible.

Fear of Everything

In Jons Own Words “My logic behind releasing it was that I felt it related to what we are going though at the moment.

And the greatest way to overcome fear is to acknowledge it first.

Also, this is a good time to put out some of the stockpile of unreleased songs I have as a way to say thanks.“

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Unsurprisingly, the Corona virus pandemic has claimed another tour, this time the 2020 ‘This Is Not A Drill‘ tour of North America.

Roger Waters has released a statement, which you can read below

 

 

THE BAD NEWS: I’ve had to postpone my THIS IS NOT A DRILL tour until next year. Bummer, but if it saves one life, it’s worth it.


THE GOOD NEWS!!!! A federal Judge in Washington DC ruled on March 25, 2020 that Trump’s Dakota Access Pipeline Executive order was ILLEGAL and demands an E.I.S (Environmental Impact Statement). This is a huge victory for the STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBES. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! Love R.

Ticketholders are advised to hold on to their original tickets for now, and there will be more information forthcoming.
