Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) (Jewel Case)

Summary: Percolating Genius
Review: I really enjoy watching this film. I have probably seen it 30-40 times and each time it gets better. What do I like best? The demonstration of a great band working together to create something that was very, very new. Pink Floyd wrote better songs and certainly played better AFTER this film but all the elements were there!

Rating:
Summary: One for the collection
Review: This movie is something for EVERY Pink Floyd fan. It is a must-have for your collection. Imagine seeing David Gilmour INVENTING solos for Dark Side of the Moon! Wow! The interviews are also great. It would appear that at times, they lose their concentration while being interviewed. Its funny to see Nick mumble rubbish from his mouth! Gilmour also discusses how poor the band is! Imagine that! But the music is WONDERFUL and played JUST for this video. It's marvelous! Please GET IT!

Summary: This is one of the most awesome videos I have ever seen!!
Review: I don't think that anything can be said to accurately describe the trip that this movie gave me, and I was perfectly sober! The sheer rawness of this film makes it much more enjoyable, on many levels, than P.U.L.S.E., or "The Wall", or any other video they've done. And the sheer masterpiece "Echoes" is the best example ever of their awesome ability to compose. I'd give it 16 or 30 stars if I could. Watch this, any who have not already!

Summary: Almost sureal, the quintesential Pink floyd experience
Review: Combine video clips of the recording sessions for Dark side of the Moon, with a live concert played to no one but a few movie camaras in the middle of an outdoor ampitheatre in Pompei, and you have "Live at Pompei". This video is a must for all real floyd fans. Watch gilmore figuring out guitar solos from your favorite dark side of the moon tracks, watch the band play your favotite early floyd epics, in grand pyscodelia, and you have a treasured video, that you will want to watch over and over. Also includes great interviews, and candid band clips.

Summary: Pink Floyd at their best
Review: Nothing gets better then playing under the sun. Throught this video a fan can get a good look at the intimate side of Pink Floyd. Watching David Gilmour eyeing Roger Waters for changes and seeing Nick Mason lose a stick and hold the timing is more than any fan could ask for. A must have for the avide collector of Floyd Merch.

Summary: An artifact that all Floyd enthusiasts must have
Review: Live at Pompeii is a simple and rustic movie made in 1972. The movie starts and finishes with echoes which is broken into two halves. In between their are several tracks from their album Meddle, brief footage on Dark Side of the Moon, and interviews with Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour. For the interviews I would give "live at pompeii" 4 stars. For picture I would give it three stars. For music 6 stars, particularly for Echoes part 1 and Saucer of secrets.

Summary: All together as a band.
Review: This movie is great. It's one of my favorite movies. It seems to have some magical feel to it. It just makes you crave more. The great thing about it is that it is before Waters took over the band and they are all working together. I think Pink Floyd is an underated band but this movie helps prove them selfs to be great. Gilmours masterfull guitar leads, Masons awsome drums action, Waters brilliant bass techniques which puts in more in to the song then some people think, and what Wright adds to it is unbelievible.

Rating:
Summary: HIGHLY Enjoyable
Review: It's great to get to see how all the different sounds are made. I'ts a wonderfull video to just sit back, relax and puff one in the memory of the Fantastic Floyd! If you want a Floyd video this is the one to get.

Summary: The first Floyd video to buy...
Review: I first saw this film back in the '70s at the Fox Valley midnight showing in Aurora, Illinois. I remember the marquee read "Pink Floyd: The Movie". This is not a concert video. This is a Pink Floyd experience. I have been a Floyd fan, yet I am not a Floyd "geek". But I still remember how enjoyable it was to see the unique recording techniques behind "Dark Side of the Moon" cuts and others. Also, I see this as an anthropical/sociological study of the generation separating hippies & punks.

Summary: Incredible
Review: This is such an awesome video. It is true, as one other review that I have read, that they Show Nick Mason way too much. In "One of these Days" it shows him for practically the whole song. This has the best version that I have ever heard of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", and same with careful with that axe.. This is a collection of pretty much the best pink floyd music around.. except for mademoiselle nobs.. it is strikingly similar to seamus from meddle... but yeah... careful with that axe, and set the controls both LOOK really incredible. The footage of dark side of the moon being recorded is really interesting. Get this video because it is so awesome.
