PINK FLOYD: LIVE AT POMPEII (1972)

Cast

Plot

The Mighty Floyd invade the archaeological haven of Pompeii and raise psychadelic hell in the ampitheatre! Rock! This 1972 documentary film battles through the ever-present haze of pretentiousness that surrounds the band to give a creative portrayal of what the Floyd are 'about' in their live shows. The music is extended (the magnificent 'Echoes' in particular acts as a behemoth bookend to the show), the setting impressive and the boys are at the top of their game (this is the year before Dark Side Of The Moon was finished). A must for followers, a good starting place for the uninitiated and confirmation for blinkered detractors that guitar noodling is the greatest of all musical evils....
