COMMENTS

It is worth noting that the six shows at Rome's Circus Maximus are the entirety of his Italy (and indeed, European) performances this time around. We suspect there could be dates elsewhere announced in due course.

Tickets will go on general sale through this link at Ticketone.it, on May 17th. From May 15th at 9am until May 16th at 11:59pm, there will also be a Virgin Radio, and Sonyo, presale, as well as a presale for those who have preordered Luck and Strange from the official David Gilmour Italian Album Store. We are sure that demand will be high for these special concerts.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!

Night four of the tour (if you ignore the two dress rehearsals conducted in Brighton, on the south coast of England, last month), and the fourth night in the Eternal City, Rome, in Italy.

In the first change (so far) to the set list, another song from the new album, Luck and Strange, was added to the set. Sings now appears in the appropriate spot just before Scattered, which concludes the album AND the second half of the show. We also had reports that Guy Pratt announced from the stage that the show was being filmed for an eventual Blu-ray/DVD release, which is great news!

We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!

CONCERT COMMENTS and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, ANTÓNIO DOMINGOS

NOTES ABOUT THIS SHOW: During the song "High Hopes" and after the last verse "... forever and ever" there's a lap steel solo as we all know. On this date it didn't work at all at that moment and David just walked 3 or 4 steps to the front stage but some seconds later he returned to the lap steel and waited for the band to play at the right time. It was an amazing show with a great sound.

António's pictures below include some shots of the filming equipment - this was one of the shows in Rome which were recorded for future release.
