Rating: Summary: very artistic Review: Great in an altered or even unaltered state! As Pink Floyd draws you into it's realm, the borderline-stardom bandmembers show you a little of what they're about.
Rating: Summary: A very mystical mood setting trip something like time travel Review: I was very impressed in that the music had no paticular guidlines to define it by.I seemed to be drawn away from reality into another world and having seen the video it conjured up emotions of past experiences such as I had while in an altered state;Except I was straight. The musicians seemed to draw from within some spiritual realm and the music flowed from them completely naturally. I believe that is what touched me and left me with a strange feeling of awe, of some grandios thing that I had taken part in.The place where the video was shot... I mean all those people dying in an instant .. Death can come in an instant..their lifes flashing before their eyes and in someway released by this out-flow of music so naturally played as if they were totally there when it happened.too much to say and too little time herb
Rating: Summary: GOOD VERSION OF EARLY FAVORITES Review: THIS EARLY FLOYD VIDEO GRABS THE ESSENCE OF THE BAND BEFORE SOME OF IT'S SKYROCKETING FAME. EXCELLENT VERSIONS OF ECHOES,ONE OF THESE DAYS...,AND SET THE CONTROLS...;HOWEVER,THE EXCERPTS OF DARK SIDE OF THE MOON STUDIO RECORDING SESSIONS ARE TOO BROKEN UP AND MAKE YOU CRAVE FULL- VERSION RECORDINGS! STILL A MUST FOR ANY DIEHARD FLOYD FAN. (THE BAND SHOWN IN IT'S EARLY(YOUNG!)STAGES WITH YOUTHFUL ,LONG-HAIRED MEMBERS GIVES YOU THE THRILL OF FOND MEMORIES OF OUR OWN CRAZED ADOLESCENCE. THANK YOU FLOYD!
Rating: Summary: Pompeii Kicks *** Review: This video is an awesome look at Pink Floyd in their pre-Dark Side era. Fans of Meddle will enjoy this video since it includes live versions of Echoes and One of These Days. It rocks.
Rating: Summary: A must-have for fans of Pink Floyd. Review: This video shows the band playing a concert to an empty coliseum in the ancient Italian city of Pompeii, mixed with clips of the band recording "Dark Side of the Moon" and interviews. Most of the songs performed come from the "Meddle" album, including "Echoes". I have watched it many times and it is fantastic.
Rating: Summary: This is Awesome Review: One of the top from Pink Floyd. The portrayal of the band in this lost artifact is great!! the style that it shows from David Gilmour is excellent. This is one of the best. The Beastie Boys even stole the idea from them in their video.
Rating: Summary: Nothing short of excellent !!! Review: Pink Floyd's "Live At Pompeii" video is absolutely brilliant. The mysterious background of the Pompeii amplitheater is the perfect background for the Floyd's dreamy sounds of "Echoes" & "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun". The candid interviews add an interesting touch of the groups interaction with each other & the recording industry.
Rating: Summary: This is how Floyd should be Review: This is a great experiment with live concert recording and a movie where the only person at the show is you. A very good look at what floyd is about and how they did it. It is sort of like a bunch of music videos wraped into one until you look at the Directors Cut witch is all the good behind the sceenes stuf. A must have for any floyd fan!
Rating: Summary: Great stuff! Review: This is a great DVD of a great performance. Good sound, good picture, and nice new additions in the Director's Cut. It all adds up to a very Floydian experience. Sit back and enjoy the trip.I've seen the original on the big screen at the theater and owned the VHS. I'm very happy with the Director's Cut DVD on my Sony Wega, very clear picture given the concert is thirty years old. The intro, though not original to the film, is clean and clear and is nicely done. The extra footage is a bonus. If you are a Floyd fan (I've seen them live three times and own every album and many, many bootlegs), this is a must-own DVD. There are really no lowpoints on this DVD. The music and footage are wonderful!
Rating: Summary: A Must Have for any True Floyd Fan Review: Im a huge Pink Floyd fan, and when i first got this DVD, I can honestly say it ruled my life. I would think about it all day, rush home from work to hear my favorite parts, and then keep the thing going for the rest of the day. Classic live versions of Echoes and One of These Days are great and the cinematography is outstanding. I never write reviews unless its for something Im extremely passionate about. If you are on the fence about buying this DVD, trust me, you will not be dissappointed.
