The live album, The Luck And Strange Concerts, showcases 23 tracks that seamlessly blend Gilmour’s new material with timeless Pink Floyd classics.

These places have an atmosphere that is simply captivating. The Circus Maximus, much like the Amphitheater in Pompeii, exudes a magical aura. You can sense the history and spirit of the place, with people having walked there for centuries, giving it a unique and spiritual energy.”
