"David Gilmour's two concerts assembled for Live at Pompeii mark the first time that the amphitheater has hosted a rock gig since Pink Floyd played there in 1971 ... the repertoire is heavy on material from the guitarist's Rattle That Lock -- the album he was touring at the time, 2006's On an Island - and Pink Floyd material in all of its incarnations ... Live at Pompeii might be better served with its video counterpart due to the stunning visuals created by Marc Brickman, but on its own, this set offers ample pleasure".
