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.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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!

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mademoiselle Nobs
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Awesome accurately describes it.
Review: I could play this video day and night 24/7 and would never get tired of it. Its really that good ! Its creativity at its best. Its a rare treat to watch them create and play at their peak. Each song is a hair raiser and jaw dropper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was the best gig on video ever.
Review: Well, I knew Pink Floyd was good, and i knew they had a major light-show. But like this? I've never seen Pink Floyd live, and I always wonder:why? Well, looks like I'll never know.Anyway, i recommand anyone to buy this video.Man, watching this video is like entering heaven.
