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

Rent the video!

Live at Pompeii was a crazy show. No light show, no fans, just Pink Floyd and crew in a decrepit Roman stadium, jamming the fuck out.

The version of Live at Pompeii with mixed-in interviews and shots of them in the studio made me appreciate all of their work more, probably because it was filmed while they were working on (or talking about) Dark Side. I think it was this:

I agree with some of those reviews, though; there's nothing quite like the feeling of the Pompeii show itself, and the director's edits and bonus footage are unnecessary for the original experience.

Never thought of it as an anti-woodstock thing, but I guess that was the idea. Woodstock wouldn't have worked at all in that space, haha; CONSUME ALL THE POMPEII -> Leave blankets and trash.

Pink Floyd, playing a show for the ghosts of Pompeii, in relative isolation. No cheering, no applause, just Rock.

If I ever stumble upon a time machine, this is certainly a stop to make.

Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii from 1972. Never seen it? Pretty much everyone on this sub would highly recommend.

During the commentary, director Adrien Maben, talked about the windy conditions and needing to re-record the vocals. The wind is quite evident in Echoes. There's no way the vocals would be clear. Also, i believe, Adrien Maben shot the footage of the band making DSOTM during this time.
