Most probably … I’m not alone thrilled to announce the live film of 2024 Rome concert at the Circus Maximus is shortly coming to selected cinemas nationwide this year Wednesday, 17th of September.
Pink Floyd fans will find it worthwhile to check out the national cinema program, as a recording of one of his performances in Rome last year will be released in Hungary.
Live at the Circus Maximus may be the best chance for fans around the world to experience David’s art on the big screen through images from fresh footage.
One of the stops on Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour’s 2024 Luck and Strange tour was at the famous Circus Maximus in Rome. Returning to touring after nearly a decade thanks to the latest album of the same name. Against the backdrop of the ancient ruins of Rome, the album’s songs will obviously resonate, such as a new cover of “Between Two Points”, but of course there will also be real Pink Floyd classics such as “Sorrow”, “High Hopes”, “Breathe (In the Air)”, “Time”, “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb”. The Luck and Strange 23 concert quickly sold out, and with no new event on the horizon in Gilmour’s calendar at the moment.
The work was directed by Gavin Elder, who has worked with Duran Duran on music videos and concert recordings since 2004 and with Gilmour since 2006, so the motion picture recordings of the tours held in the mid-2010s were also made under his direction. The two and a half hour Roman evening featured 23 songs in total, of which the aforementioned “Between Two Points” was performed in a duet with his daughter. The movie version stored 22 tracks for eternity in 142 minutes. The performance and its soundtrack will also be released as a double CD edition 1 month after the movie premiere (with the song missing from the film included), so those who may miss the extras provided by the movie experience won’t have to wait long for it.
The tour first warmed up with two shows in Brighton, then followed by a 6-day trip to Rome, which was then followed by the legendary Royal Albert Hall in London, then the equally iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and finally the equally emblematic Madison Square Garden in New York.
During last October music release, the 23 tracks will be released as a selection, so not all of them will be from the filmed Roman evening, so it may also contain some new material for those lucky enough to catch a movie screening.
Don’ miss your chance to experience.
The concert film is for a limited time only, so it is recommended to find and book tickets for your preferred screening A.S.A.P.
The film distributed by Pannónia Entertainment.
