The concert film that opens today is from the firstdates of Gilmour’s 23-showtourin support ofLuck and Strange last year, during which he performed six sold-out concerts at Rome’s Circus Maximus. The album features songs selected from various shows throughout the tour.
“[Circus Maximus is] a glorious, beautiful building, built nearly 2,000 years ago for chariot racing and that sort of stuff,” Gilmour recently told UCR. “It wraps an atmosphere around the main event, which is the music, and these days, with drones and the footage they are getting, it’s lovely. I’m very keen on that place. Places of that [nature] are unusual and interesting and have a sense of time about them.”

When Will David Gilmour Release Another Album?
Gilmour told UCR that he’s now working on his sixth solo album, but “can’t make promises about quite when I will be ready to put it out there. It’s a slow, hard process, a lot of adding, taking away, trying out, and discarding or reshaping.
“The idea of the Beatles doing their first album in one day, basically, the guy says, ‘The tape’s rolling,’ and they go, ‘1-2-3-4,’ and that’s that, one done.
“Part of me still wishes that it was easier to get to that, but we’ve all become used to another way of working where you can spend months adding things, taking things away, reshaping [and] trying different lyrical ideas out, reshaping those so that everything feels like it’s been taken to its end point.”
