DAVID Gilmour performed two spectacular shows at the legendary Pompeii Amphitheatre in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius this summer, 45 years after he first played there for Adrian Maben’s classic film, Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii.

The concerts were the first-ever rock performances played to an audience in the ancient Roman amphitheatre, which was built in 90 BC and entombed in ash when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.

David Gilmour is the only performer to play to an audience in the arena since the time of the gladiators, almost 2,000 years ago.

He said: "It's a magical place and coming back and seeing the stage and the arena was quite overwhelming. It's a place of ghosts...’.

Now for one night only on Wednesday, September 13 at 7.30pm, the Regent in Christchurch will be screening David Gilmour Live at Pompeii.

This concert performance film will include highlights from both shows will be shown with state of the art Dolby Atmos sound.

The show includes songs from throughout David's career including the title tracks of his two most recent number one solo albums: Rattle That Lock and On An Island. Also included are other solo and Pink Floyd classics such as Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and One Of These Days, the only song that was also performed by the band in 1971.

Both concerts also saw very special performances of The Great Gig In The Sky from The Dark Side Of The Moon, which David rarely plays as a solo artist.

The concert is a spectacular audio-visual experience, featuring the famous huge circular cyclorama screen as well as lasers, pyrotechnics and stellar performances from an all-star band.
