REVIEW: DAVID GILMOUR - "LIVE AT POMPEII"

Originally posted on social media on Oct 1st, 2017

This so eagerly anticipated thing is finally home with me. It's intriguing haw David's voice has deteriorated since I saw him live just 11 months before in Germany... Quite sad, but the age of 71 has to show somewhere. Things are not so bad in the guitar department, although to be completely fair, his fingers are also not working as fuently as he'd like them to and it's clearly audible. Nevertheless, The Maestro is unbeaten in the field of creating moods and excitement with amazing choices of notes. "Faces Of Stone" is one of his more wonderful recent creations, finally showing it's enormous beauty in live setting. And "Sorrow" will crush you against the wall with it's sound and frenzy that it has on the display. These 11 minutes alone are worth the money for this gig and that is only one of the quite few gems that are hidden there. Sweet reminder of maybe thie last time ever that The Guitar And Voice of Pink Floyd could have been heard in arenas of the world.
