Summary: Pink Floyd; Unique is an understatement.
Review: I saw this many times at the theater in the 70's. I still sit
back and enjoy. This is the Pink Floyd that is worth remembering;it will never grow old. The visuals are worthy of respect and so outstandingly different from any other I'v ever seen. It's a keeper.

Summary: Pink Floyd classic and a must have
Review: This is one of the best Pink Floyd releases ever. I am very grateful that someone had the vision back than to capture Pink Floyd in their most mature era where freedom of creativity was unabridged by money or personal conflicts. You can witness Pink Floyd in the studio in pre-Dark Side of the Moon days and live performance for the dead (non existent) audience of an amphitheatre in Pompeii. If you like any Pink Floyd music before the Wall then you should have it. If you only appreciate Pink Floyd without Roger Waters then you will probably be disappointed. Still, this video is a dream come true for any hard core Pink Floyd fan.
The baking is present trough out the video, as the volcano lights up the lava flow and so should you.

Summary: Essential For Early Floyd Fans
Review: Attention fans of early Pink Floyd music: this video is for you! Carrying about nine or ten songs, this video features Pink Floyd live at Pompeii, a place of ancient mystery and imagination. The setting and some of the footage in this video truly adds to the unique characteristics of Pink Floyd's music. This video features songs such as "Echoes" and "A Saucerful of Secrets". All these songs sound great in this unique live video. This is truly a must for Floyd fans everywhere.

Summary: Might be enjoyable if you're high
Review: I love Pink Floyd's music, and love the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" video. So I bought this one. YUCK! It's one of those depressing 1970's art films that somehow manage to accrue a cult following. There's too much pre-concert "behind the scenes" footage, the picture quality is poor, the cinematography is horrible, and - well, I have only watched it once. It almost ruined my love for the band. It portrays them as real lowlife scuzzballs.

Summary: A Must Have For Floyd Fans
Review: This video is full of classic moments with Pink Floyd. "Live at Pompeii" provides a surreal experience that is a must have for any Floyd Fan. This is by far their best video. It includes various eclectic performances, some undescribable interviews, and film of the band's stay at Pompeii (eating meals, preparing instruments, etc...). The video contains a few "classic" quotes from band memebers--Nick Mason's "Apple pie, without the crust please!" for instance. In short...get it.

Summary: Spinal Tap 1972
Review: The music in this video is great--something eery,haunting about it all, even in spite of the dated '70's special effects, but the huge close-up face shots interviews made me laugh. I kept thinking of "This is Spinal Tap." Four pompous stoned musicians, the British accents, some of them even look like Spinal Tap members. Good ole big-lipped David Gilmour,the most likeable member, looks like a 17 yr old who hasn't washed his hair for 2 weeks, and there's this smile from him after a "we-aren't-a-drug-oriented(he says "orientated"--oops)-group" comment: the most high, most glassy red-eyed comfortably numb smile I've seen yet. Roger Waters in his always arrogant egocentic manner, can't seem to focus his eyes much better. "If they don't like us, they don't come see us again." Oh really? I loved watching and listening to this vid. Hypnotic music. They're one of the most creative, innovative artsy bands ever--likened to an abstract painting. They just didn't quite come across as the brightest bulbs on their planet. But that's why it's fun to watch.

Summary: The best Pink Floyd album they never released on vinyl
Review: If this had been released on vinyl it would be my favorite Pink Floyd album, next to Ummagumma. I transferred the audio from it onto a CD-R and I listen to it often. They chose some of their longer, more contemplative pieces and expanded on them, creating a soundtrack of sorts for the ruins among which they played. There's no audience noise to spoil it, either, the silence between the songs lends an eerie aspect to the whole thing. Find the earlier release if you can--the later one has been speeded up a bit and "Dark Side" studio footage has been inexplicably added. I could have used ten more studio albums like this one, but bands move on and try new things. Live at Pompeii stands alone as the greatest live recording of any rock band, ever.

Summary: Not much more to say...
Review: There's not much more I can say that hasn't been said...At the time of my writing, there are 81 reviews. I just wanted to contribute to the stats. This is an amazing film; not just a rock or music video. It is an amazing piece of art and cinematography. I would have to say it represents all the aspects of rock and roll that The Wall didn't cover; the truly artistic aspects. What could be better than your own show in the arena at Pompeii with no one except the band and a film crew??????
