David Gilmour’s 2024 Luck and Strange Concerts tour was definitely one of the most memorable classic rock treks of recent years, showcasing one of the greatest guitarists of all time performing from both the Pink Floyd songbook and his own mighty solo catalog.
Unfortunately, the tour’s only U.S. stops were in the Los Angeles area (for four shows) and New York City (for five gigs). (Yeah, we were personally hoping for a 19-night stand in The Bay Area, but — alas — it did not come to pass.)
The good news, however, is that fans living in the Bay Area and other parts of the country can now experience this thrilling live production — in support of Gilmour’s fifth solo album, “Luck and Strange” — in two tantalizing ways.

True Bay Area audiophiles definitely won’t want to miss this amazing experience
The first occurs when the concert film “Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome” is released to big screens — including those epic IMAX numbers — on Sept. 17. The film captures Gilmour and his terrific backing band in concert at Rome’s historic Circus Maximus near the start of the Luck and Strange tour. The film will only be in theaters for a limited time. For tickets and other details (such as a list of participating theaters), visit www.davidgilmour.film.
If you miss it in the theaters, or simply want your own copy to watch over and over again, “Live at the Circus Maximus” will be released both on Blu-ray and DVD on Oct. 17.
Also, Gilmour fans will definitely want to check out “The Luck and Strange Concerts” audio release, which offers up 23 tracks (via four LPS or two CDs) recorded at select shows on the tour. We greatly anticipate dropping the needle on the vinyl set — and, in particular, hearing this tour’s glorious rendition of Pink Floyd’s “Fat Old Sun” — when it’s released on Oct. 17.
