PINK FLOYD’S CLASSIC 1972 FILM LIVE AT POMPEII DEBUTS ON DVD IN EXPANDED EDITION WITH ADDED DIRECTOR’S CUT AND NEW DOCUMENTARY The quintessential band of psychedelia--both visually and musically--and the most popular progressive rock band in history, performed a concert in 1971 at the ancient Roman amphitheater at Pompeii. The following year, Pink Floyd’s Live At Pompeii, a stunning audiovisual experience, was released to theaters. Now the legendary film, and gold-certified home video, has been expanded for its DVD debut as Live At Pompeii: The Director’s Cut (Hip-O Records), released October 21, 2003. Along with the original theatrical 60-minute version of the film, Live At Pompeii: The Director’s Cut adds a 91-minute version created by the original director Adrian Maben. Never-before-released footage of guitarist David Gilmour, bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright working on Live At Pompeii in Paris, atmospheric space shots and a host of new visual effects mark the new rendition. Included too are interviews with the bandmembers during the recording of what would be their monumental 1973 album Dark Side Of The Moon; footage that lengthened the original film to a concert/documentary homevideo offering in the ‘80s. A new bonus is a 20-minute documentary featuring an interview with Maben discussing both the original film and his extended Director’s Cut. The DVD also boasts lyrics, a photo gallery and an Odds N’ Sods section featuring posters and album art. Live At Pompeii was recorded over four days and nights in early October 1971, set against the sun-splashed arena by day and the eerily-lit remnants of volcanic destruction by night. The concert begins and ends with the massive composition “Echoes” from the band’s then-new album Meddle (in fact, in the U.S. the film was titled Echoes: Pink Floyd). Performances of songs from Meddle and earlier LPs include dramatic nighttime stagings of “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” and “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,” and a daylight “A Saucerful Of Secrets” during which an energetic Waters jumps around banging a huge gong. The other songs heard are “Us And Them,” “One Of These Days,” “Mademoiselle Nobs” and “Brain Damage.” Even the interviews and clips of the band at Abbey Road Studios are entertaining, from Waters’ rant about the coming economic collapse to Mason’s opinion on pie crust. The studio footage also provides snippets of alternate versions of “Us And Them,” “Brain Damage” and Dark Side Of The Moon’s “On The Run.” Originally formed in 1965, Pink Floyd melded together cinematic compositions, grand orchestrations and guitar god sonic sculptures into a colorful, imaginative, surrealistic and highly inventive musical experience. Today, nearly 1,000,000 Pink Floyd albums are still sold each year worldwide as new generations discover how epic rock can be. PINK FLOYD / LIVE AT POMPEII - DVD

  • A Revelation to serious Pink Floyd Fans. Original Film version on menu is best.

    Growing up, I would go to some friend-of-a-friend's house, who would inevitably dim the lights, and we'd all chill to watching this rarity on VHS tape. Those early tapes often wouldn't track well on the audio, if it was in "Hi-Fi". Later on, I bought my own copy, and then later, picked up a higher quality version on Laser Disc. Those early releases, which were just fine, were of the second Director's cut of what aired in theaters world-wide in 1973. This DVD has both the original 1971 film, which offers only the concert itself, or the misdirected "Third Director's Cut" (and I usually love Director's Cut's) which has some interesting supplements, but a lot of even-then dated looking graphics and black and white interviews, and odd cuts away from them playing, which take me a out of the almost hypnotic film, instead of just some short, interesting interviews and moments with the band - including a hilarious interview with an obviously very high David Gilmour- which worked best in-between the band playing in the amphitheater of Pompeii. Watch the D.C. once for the full of it. Otherwise, go to menu, and click on "The Original Film" and then fast forward through the directors cut for the color footage of them in studio recording TDSOTM (Dark Side) and interviews and them talking during dinner -which is what the more entertaining and still to be re-released 1973 version had. Still, mesmerizing direction (original cut!) of these early Floyd classics are a must-see for any fan, or anyone who loves rock/progressive music, Make sure you engage your stereo system for the full effect, and enjoy the great sound. I am still waiting for a remastered Blu Ray or UHD version to see this 35mm film in all its glory as the colors and the eerie footage of Pompeii can be fully appreciated. For those who only think of Floyd in its Dark Side of the Moon or Wall era, this will be a revelation. An interesting interview with director Adrian Maben on "Why Pompeii" is included, and is very interesting.

  • Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii DVD

    Finally, this excellent film is available on DVD....only to be ruined (somewhat) by doing what George Lucas has done with the Star Wars Trilogy by fiddling with a good movie and relabeling it "The Director's Cut". Hmm. To be fair, this is the third version of this movie and I'm referring to the director messing with the second version. Confused? I don't blame you. "Pink Floyd" (the "at Pompeii" title added later) originally was released with just the band playing at the ruins of Pompeii. That film (thankfully) is found in the extra features of this disc. Shortly after it's original release, the director included scenes/interviews of the band during the recording of The Dark Side Of The Moon and this second version is the one we have enjoyed at midnight movies over the years and then on various home video releases. That second version is what I expected to get when it came out on DVD. Instead, the director decided to "update" the film by including spacey images and other shots for reasons only he can explain. I won't even try to give an opinion as to why. All I will say is.....it sucks now. The flow is gone, the new material is stupid, and if it wasn't for the inclusion of the original film as an extra I wouldn't even keep it, much less recommend it. Thankfully, I still have my laserdisc of the second version. I recommend this with reservations. Hopefully, all 3 versions will be on the blu-ray someday in 5.1 surround. Hopefully.

  • Entertaining, lots more besides just tunes.

    Echoes is the real feature on this, but lots of clips of insight into how they experiment and come up with different sound. Obviously were working on Dark Side of the Moon during this period.

  • Better than I remembered.

    Excellent to have the original film and the director's cut to see his perspective years later. Newer technology allowed him to add space images and other things. Lyrics and photos and an interview with the director are excellent.

  • Buy this for the original movie in the extras

    The directors cut of this movie is terrible but luckily the original film is presented as part of the extras which is why we're all buying it in the first place.

  • Great Concert Movie

    A great snapshot of Pink Floyd just before they hit it big with The Dark Side of the Moon.

  • I can only recommend it for anyone interested in Pink Floyd's early music.

    It is a fascinating look at the creative process of Pink Floyd by using interviews, music, and then the final product in the unique setting of Pompeii, Italy. It is a beautiful album.
