David said: "I want to thank the Ministry of Culture for giving me the opportunity to once again play this beautiful and historic venue. Performing there in 1971 was very special and I'm looking forward to returning and hopefully creating some more memorable moments made even more special by playing to an audience."


Dario Franceschini, Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism said: "45 years after the legendary 'Live at Pompeii' David Gilmour will be back performing in a unique, fascinating, beautiful scenario. The myth of Pink Floyd will come back to life with him in Pompeii. It will be a show that can't be missed."

Love it^
Just sent to 2 of my old band mates. We learned Echos, and played it out twice sometime in the 90's. The 4 people that knew it in the crowd were quite impressed
Seen PF in '87, but they only played that song a few times that tour. Would give a toe to see PF play Astronomy Domine.

I doubt Echoes will ever be played again. He played it every show on the On an Island Tour, but that was with Rick Wright. I really cannot imagine him playing that song without Rick. I was fortunate to see that show at Massey Hall in Toronto, awesome! Echoes was the best song I've ever seen performed live, especially in such a small venue.
