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 three of the tour, and the third night in the Eternal City, Rome, in Italy. The band and crew have a day off to follow before the second three shows take place in the glorious city.
There were a couple of notable things about this gig - which apparently saw a stronger performance all round, as presumably the band are getting more "match fit" - there were a larger number of High Hopes weather balloons bounced around the front of the audience area, during that song. The other notable occurrence was that David's guitar strap on his Black Cat Strat came adrift during the early part of Comfortably Numb, as captured by Phil Waters of the PF Collectors group on Facebook:
We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!
In the meantime, here's a video from David's official social media channels, showing some of the lighting experienced during a certain song...
CONCERT COMMENTS and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, PETR CEJKA
I flew from Prague to Rome to see 2 absolutely AWESOME David Gilmour concerts in Rome and because I was able to take my camera there, I took some "quite good" photos from both nights. My pictures are from 28th and 29th September, and below are those from the 29th.
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!
