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

Rating:
Summary: tremendous performance!
Review: Pink Floyd demonstrates us in this video their great musical sense and quality. The performance of "Echoes" is one of the greatest that Pink floyd has done ever. In addition you can watch the Dark Side of the Moon recording sessions, which are the sessions of the best album in the history of rock. The setting is amazing, the sound is perfect, and the Floyd are greater than ever! Truly the most fantastic document of Pink Floyd. You'll love it!

Summary: The Best Music Video Ever Made!
Review: I had the pleasure of seeing this movie on the big screen right after it was released and it totally blew me away! Now here I am over 25 years later with the VCR version and it still blows me away. The location is fantastic, the interviews are fantastic, the art interspersed with the songs is fantastic and watching Pink Floyd make music is one of the most fascinating things ever seen. My only regret is that the camera was on Nick Mason so much while David Gilmour was ripping out this incredible guitar work. I wanted to see what he was doing! The short tastes I kept getting were such teasers and I was getting rather upset with the cameraman! What an awesome group and we are so lucky to have had them in our lifetime. Thank you, Pink Floyd, for bringing such joy into not only my late teen years, but my adult years as well. This video should be released in the theaters again for the new generation of Floydians to experience. Definitely a have-to-have for every PF collection.

Summary: Simply supurb film on a band on the brink of greatness
Review: Brilliant. The camerawork is excellent, unique, innovative. An interesting film on the Floyd in the "dark years" between Ummagumma and Dark Side. The brief interviews are high spots, with the band reflecting on criticism saying they were past their prime, and on the eve of releasing the greatest charting album ever, DSOTM. The live footage is extraordinary, with an appealing site, in the ruins of an ampitheature, just them and a camera crew. The playing is remarkable, Nick Mason proves how underrated he is, and the Floyd enter the annuls of a rock band's great triumph, playing at an exotic location. The Dead played the Pyramids, the Beatles played Stonehedge, and Floyd played the Pompeiian ruins, and made a damn good film with it.

Summary: Pink Floyd jamming it out with great older classics.
Review: I borrowed this video from my History teacher, He used to play in a band. I was impressed start to finish with David Gilmour's guitar and singing skills. Roger Waters as usual is high on talent. I have never seen Nick Mason play with such enthusiasm on drums. Rick Wright was right on key in everything. It was what you would expect from Floyd and more. It included Waters' scream from Carefull with that axe, Eugene (Ummagumma version) to One of these days in which Gilmour plays like there is no tomorrow. The one drawback was that it had to end.

Summary: Music in a different dimension
Review: Note how incredibly 'loud'* Gilmours guitar is in moon sessions, after feedback comment from Dave. This is capable of altering your state on its own - an enormous achievement. *'loud' is defined as ability to drown out everything else in your conscious, not decibels!

Rating:
Summary: Great Early Floyd Movie
Review: This is by far the best Pink Floyd movie... the only weak part is the seem to only show Nick Mason most of the time... biggest strength is the version of Echoes.

Summary: on to something big
Review: this is wonderful piece of pre-MTV; pink floyd's own "the song remains the same". the whole thing is just charming, the floyd showing off with their amps and tecnologies. I have watched it both five and ten times and still I enjoy it. the cuts from the moon sessions are truly awesome, wish there had been more. overall, a great visual and musical experience.

Summary: Absolute Best Pink Floyd Video!
Review: This video truely touched me. I absolutely love every minute of it. Even though it is pre-Dark Side, it shows clips of studio sessions for it. It has several clips of them fussing a bit, and shows the ever-so-popular Nick Mason "crust hating" thing. If I had to give up all my Floyd videos but one, Live At Pompeii would be the one I would keep!
