Conceived by the French director Adrian Maben as "an anti-Woodstock film," Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii was shot in October 1971 in a vacant, 2,000-year-old amphitheater--a venue chosen to accentuate the grandeur and spaciousness of the band's Meddle-era music. This disc contains a new, 90-minute director's cut as well as the original 60-minute concert film, whose production and effects feel inescapably dated. Maben's cut goes to great lengths to lend the film a more contemporary feel, but it's the earlier version that makes this disc such a gem, being more focused on the music and more wholistic in vision. The anamorphic, 16:9 director's cut interweaves the Pompeii performances with fascinating but distracting interviews and music snippets filmed later (mostly during the recording of Dark Side of the Moon). The movie was originally prepared in a 4:3 aspect ratio, however, and the widescreen version crops perfectly framed images like the nine-square mosaic of drummer Nick Mason in "One of These Days." The original offers plenty of closeups of fingers on frets and keys, with shots that are often luxuriously long in duration. And the picture quality from Pompeii is revelatory: outstandingly sharp and clear, rich in subtle grades of light and color. Generous extras include everything from original posters, reviews, bootleg album covers, and song lyrics to a 24-minute interview with Maben. But for all the director's talk of the glorious acoustics in Pompeii's amphitheater, there's little natural ambience to be heard. The Dolby Digital 2.0 sound is clear, dry, and two-dimensional, though notably better than any previous video release. --Michael Mikesell

 PIMK FLOYD-- live at Pompeii March 13, 2010
Matthew J. Cary
"PINK FLOYD-- live in Pompeii" is a fascinating view into the early 70s period of the world's foremost prog-rock band. The near 40-year-old footage featured in this video alone is worth the price of admission! Whether it's watching David Gilmour weaving psychedelic soundscapes with a slide and his now-vintage strat cradled on his lap during the band's early epic "A Saucerful of Secrets" to Roger Waters affectionately referring to their music as "rock and roll" during an interview (weren't the 70s great?!) this video is a must-see for any classic rock fan.
Awesome footage of Pink Floyd February 3, 2010
Steven Welter
This is a nice addition to anyone's library. This takes place in a ancient ruin. The footage is great, the interview clips are great, the music is awesome!

Watch pink floyd playing live in this simple way is great, the way it was filmed and the camera angles give to the Movie a unusual felling, something that you dont see now days, excelent!
Pink Flyod's "Live from Pompeii" November 17, 2009
Stephen Stabile (Acra, NY USA)
When I first received the dvd it had some glitches in it. When I sent an e-mail to Beaches and told them the problem, they took care of it with no hassle at all. I received a new copy in a short period of time. The new copy was perfect and I truly enjoyed it. I will keep doing business with Beaches.
Sinecerly,
