With David Gilmour's new concert film, Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome, opening today (Wednesday) in theaters and on IMAX screens around the world, he's released another performance from it.
This time it's the cover of The Montgolfier Brothers' 1999 song "Between Two Points" featuring his 23-year old daughter Romany on vocals, which he recorded on his last studio album, 2024's Luck and Strange.
Proud papa Gilmour says, "I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released... I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go...
"I realized that Romany has exactly the right sort of vulnerability and youth for the song. In fact, she was halfway through an essay with a train to catch when we asked her: ‘OK, I'll sing it once, put the mic on’ and that is 90% of the finished vocal.”
Prior to joining her dad on his Luck and Strange Tour, the most people Romany performed in front of was less than 100. You can watch the performance from Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome on YouTube.
Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 17th, the same say as the album from that tour, The Luck and Strange Concerts.
