Live versions of the songs, filmed in an old Pompeii amphitheater. Songs included are Echoes (split into 2 parts), Careful with that axe, Eugene, A saucerful of secrets, One of those days, Set the controls for the heart of the sun, Mademoiselle nobbs (Seamus, but with Rick's dog on vocals). "Careful" and "Set the controls" are shot at night with minimal lighting, setting a beautiful mood. And the live Saucerful just has to be seen, with Waters jumping around in the sunlight banging the huge gong. The 80-minute version features studio footage from the recordings of Dark side of the Moon, with alternate versions of Us and them, On the run and Brain Damage, as well as interviews with the band.

Pink Floyd filmed playing live in an ampitheatre in Pompeii. Several tracks from 'Meddle' as well as earlier LPs are included. Also includes interviews and clips of the band working at Abbey Road studios on what would become their landmark 'Dark Side Of The Moon' release.

    Rick Wright Is So Underrated. So Many People Leave Him Out of the Equation. He Had So Much Talent.

    My brother had this on video in the 80’s. We all used to drop acid and watch it. Great days

    This has to be one of those very rare seminal moments in the history of music

    All these years, I knew about the Pompeii album but never watched/listened to it. My loss. But we live in amazing times when I can catch up on YouTube. I’ve caught up on so much good music I missed and discovered music I’d never heard of. Who could have imagined 40-50 years ago we could have instant access to so much great music. The internet is kind of like fire, it can be destructive or beneficial depending on how you use it. I choose beneficial, got no time for destruction.

    As I've gotten older I've gained a real appreciation for their older stuff.

    You can just feel how great the chemistry is here. Each instrument perfectly in sync with the others. This is how magic happens, and it definitely happened here.

    Rogers bassline starting at 8:55 is so slick and groovy. Upsets me when people say Roger wasn’t a good bassist because he’s killing it here.

    I went to Pompeii and spent all day looking for this amphitheater. Finally found it. Pompeii is larger than you might think.

    I love how Mason loses a drumstick during " one of these days" and completely holds the rhythm while grabbing a spare. Awesome !

    I was in a hippy band in the early 70s , we used to do Echoes as our end of the night tune ... We had a residency at an inner city pub , the singer would announce we were taking a a break and then we would play Echoes ... the place would empty , the manager would scratch his head , then a bunch of red eyed stumblers would flood back in and sit on the dance floor and bliss out for the 20 plus minutes we wrung it out to ... Listening to this again after all this time , I would opine we made a pretty fair fist of it ... All concerned went on to long musical careers , and most of us are still gigging

    Paris 1977. Huge screen at a cinema. Explosivly loud, and I was completely blown away!! Couldn't have been better.

    Young kids made it to the stars. What a life. Never took music seriously.

    Great video and sound quality. This is one of the Crown Jewels in music history, and only a tiny handful of people saw it live. Thanks to The Powers That Be for video. Brilliant performances by everyone, with a special salute to the brilliant drumming of Nick Mason. I will never get tired of watching this!
