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 five of the tour (if you ignore the two dress rehearsals conducted in Brighton, on the south coast of England, last month), and the fifth night in the Eternal City, Rome, in Italy. Just one more show to go before the production packs up and heads back to England for the sequence of shows at London's Royal Albert Hall.
The addition of Sings, appearing in the appropriate spot just before Scattered, which concludes the album AND the second half of the show, has remained for the second show on the bounce. We suspect it is there for good.
As with the previous night, this show was filmed by multiple cameras for a future Blu-ray/DVD release (and we suspect, CD and LP as well).
We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!
CONCERT REVIEW and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, JULIEN PISCIONE
It was a very beautiful evening under the sky of Roma.
The setlist was similar to other shows. The sound was really very good and the audience also sang a lot. People really came from all over Europe. We are French and next to us Germans, English, Swiss... the whole of Europe was present. I really liked that David played Marooned. The songs of the new album were really good and this is a good link between old and new material.
We were lucky to see David one more time.
YOUR HELP NEEDED! We want to cover David's concerts the best we can, to share the experience with everyone, especially those who won't be able to attend the shows. We'd love to see ANY pictures, tickets scans, reviews, newspaper reports, and anything else you come across for this show - we look forward to hearing from you!
