David Gilmour dazzles on the opening night of his tour in Rome: the first review!

David Gilmour.

[CONTAINS SPOILERS] David Gilmour dazzled Rome on the opening night of his current world tour at the Circo Massimo, with a Pink Floyd-heavy set and stunning light show that sent the locals wild with delight.

The 78-year-old Pink Floyd singer and guitarist was in imperious form as he kicked off his current world tour in support of his recent No. 1 album Luck And Strange. It was Gilmour’s first official live show for eight years (he’d played two low-key ‘rehearsal’ shows in Brighton last weekend) and he will perform a further five shows here in Rome, before six further shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall in early October and then seven more dates in the USA.
