Review: Although many of you know this is without a doubt the best era of "THE FLOYD" ever, not dismissing the "SYD" pre- dramatic years of "THE FLOYD" which were a turning point for strange noise nuts and feedback fiends. For "THE FLOYD" to perform in such a unique historical setting is not only mystical but universally magical. This piece of musical celluloid is not to be missed by anyone with half a braincell. Enthralling throughout and visually stunning. The music is played with precise conviction proving "THE FLOYD"a solid contender in the rock history vaults. YOU MUST, I REPEAT, YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN TO REGAIN THAT VITALITY AND RID YOURSELF OF THAT ALL OVER EMPTY FEELING INSIDE! I greatly appreciate any and all comments regarding "SYD" and "THE FLOYD". Thank you, and may all your days be "FLOYDIAN". Your Intrepid Listener, "syd" E-mail me at: (markfhard2find@webtv.com)

Summary: Pretty In Pink
Review: From the very opening sequence with it's cinematic partially faling off the screen credits you know that this video is different. In an amphitheatre among the ruins of Pompeii, Italy in a combination of scorching sun and erily lit night parts this video concentrates almost totally on the MUSIC of Floyd and not just a live show. Opening with half of Echoes, with it's teasingly slow wobbly intro of Wright's piano with a view from afar gradualy zooming in on the band. The material of the film is a mixture from Meddle (1971) and earlier albums . Live footage is spliced in with scenes from inside Abbey Road while recording Dark Side and even the band having an evening meal! (No crust please!) Gilmour shines throughout with blistering guitar lines. Wright's analogue synth's and organs sound great as does Water's excellent bass work and Mason's energetic drumlines (and a fine muzzy to boot). In these days of modern technology it is obvious that some parts have been added later with the band placed infront of a more colourful background but hey, it's the music that counts isn't it? And of course it was only the Seventies

Summary: Exploration In Sound
Review: Pink Floyd has never failed to amaze me. Their mix of audio and visual elements in "Live at Pompeii" creates a near-to-perfect Floyd experience. The songs are from the "transitional" Floyd era...post Syd/pre "Dark Side of the Moon". Set in the ruins of an ancient coliseum, Floyd plays to an invisible audience. Mix in stunning visual photography of ancient murals and lava pits, with Floyd's droning music as a soundtrack, and you have an excellent psychedelic experience. Might be boring to a sober mind, but endless entertainment to Floyd fans or those who like to let their mind wander. Turn out the lights, hook up the stereo, and enjoy "Echoes", "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun", "A Saucerful Of Secrets", "One Of These Days", and more. New releases of the video have behind-the-scenes of the making of "Dark Side Of The Moon", interviews, and lunch.

Summary: Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii
Review: This film can be best described as a depiction of the bridging point from where Pink Floyd's core sound changed quite dramatically from a Psychedilc rock band to a post modern experimental rock outfit. The most notable change to Floyd, besides it actual sound, was the abscence of the original founding member Syd Barrett. Floyd's first project, in the abscence of Syd Barrett was a 50% live - 50% Studio album called Ummagumma. This album has elements of Floyd's past sounds and future sounds mashed together. A lot of Floyd fans were shocked by Dark Side of the Moon, which to them was a sound so radically different to that of Syd Barrett's Floyd, that most Floyd fans denounced the album, and never listened to Floyd again. This video is a must for old-sound Floyd fans as well as the new. As the film explains the band's reasons for the change. The video gives you a glimpse into their past, and was to become their future. The video features live performances of this transitional sound, that is featured on their album Ummagumma, as well as interviews with each of the four band members. The video also gives you glimpses into the production of Dark Side of the Moon, which as we all know was the real turning point in Pink Floyd's path to success. Very raw sounds, very raw filming, very raw editing, but this seems to apt as the band were at a very raw stage.

Summary: Soo Close...
Review: I remember seeing this movie as a 14 year old back during the Wall era. I was thrilled to see the performance of the Floyd from their heyday. But I have to wonder if the film crew had even seen the band before. Why else would they focus on Nick mason's sloppy drumming throughout "One of These Days" and ignore Dave's awesome solo and Roger's echo-laden bass? Still a must have for a Floyd fan.

Summary: Fully understand
Review: If you didn't fully understand Pink Floyd before, than video will make you understand! Everything that they do makes sense! If you are a true Floydian than this video is a must, if you are not than the video will make you become one! I have never seen a band put so much of themselves into their songs. When they play, you can tell that they are actually part of the music! The music that they play in the video displays how talanted they are, how creative they are and shows why Pink Floyd is more than music - it's a way of thinking and it's a mind set! Buy the video and you'll understand all that Pink Floyd stands for!

Summary: The Essence of Pink Floyd
Review: This film captures one of rock's most creative bands at their absolute creative peak. They were still wildly experimental, just on the cusp of mega-stardom. The film captures the Floyd just before Roger Waters began dominating the group and terrorizing the shyer members of the band, such as Rick Wright. The film is a perfect visual representation of the Floyd in this period--conceptual, strange, trippy though tasteful. Their interviews in the film are priceless, especially Nick Mason's bitter struggle to get a slice of pie without the crust. The film demands multiple viewings.

Review: Mademmoiselle Nobs! What an idea. True Pink Floyd. I think Richard Wright is the hidden God of Floyd. The dogs in my head are growling.

Summary: Prime Floyd
Review: This is the real Pink Floyd, raw and original. The music contained in this video is a wonderful collection of early, psychedelic Floyd tunes. "Echoes" is simply stunning. I cannot recommend this video highly enough.
