“A peerless catalogue; a breathtaking, ancient setting; a definitive latterday performance by a band of all the talents”: David Gilmour’s Live At The Circus Maximus is a maxed-out experience

David Gilmour – Live at the Circus Maximus cover.

To describe Live At The Circus Maximus merely as an audio-visual feast would be a bit like calling the feeding of the 5,000 a small buffet with some bread and fish.

Those of us lucky enough to have witnessed David Gilmour’s Luck And Strange Tour in 2024 saw a show that was sumptuous in every aspect, from breathtaking musicianship to spectacular staging. This film – captured at a six-night engagement at the historic stadium where Romans raced chariots – is a lasting remembrance of a quite dazzling event.
