David Gilmour - Live at Pompeii Blu Ray 5.1 DTS-HD 24/96
Lot's of interesting tidbits surround the concert.
In 1971 Pink Floyd entered the Amphitheatre of Pompeii Italy to record a live video over the course of 4 days. The venue was closed to tourist traffic for 6 days while the Floyd recorded the first ever musical performance there, AFAIK. (NO Audience)
Then in 2016 David Gilmour cut a deal to perform 2 live concerts there to promote the soon to be released Rattle That Lock album. This was the first time a public performance was put on there since the volcanic eruption in 79 A.D. !
Must be some serious Floyd fans in Italy to gain these permissions?
It doesn't appear as the floor of the Amphitheater holds very many people? I wonder who you had to know to get tickets???
Typical good PF surround mix with decent recorded sound quality.
