[CONTAINS SPOILERS] David Gilmour dazzled Rome on the opening night of his current world tour at the Circo Massimo, with a Pink Floyd-heavy set and stunning light show that sent the locals wild with delight.
The 78-year-old Pink Floyd singer and guitarist was in imperious form as he kicked off his current world tour in support of his recent No. 1 album Luck And Strange. It was Gilmours first official live show for eight years (hed played two low-key rehearsal shows in Brighton last weekend) and he will perform a further five shows here in Rome, before six further shows at Londons Royal Albert Hall in early October and then seven more dates in the USA.
Cries of We love you David rang out all night around the venue that once hosted chariot racing for Ancient Romans, as Gilmours unmistakably fluid guitar tone introduced the instrumental 5 A.M. (from 2015s Rattle That Lock) followed by new instrumental Black Cat and the title track of the new album, before the instantly recognisable tones of The Dark Side Of The Moons Breathe kicked off a run of Floyd numbers delighting the 18,000 fans. Time followed, complete with the classic clocks backing film on the large circular screen adorning the back of the stage, before a rousing Fat Old Sun from Atom Heart Mother, Marooned and Wish You Were Here had the whole crowd singing as one.

Choice stuff.
