jimmygeekrock There's no contesting Pink Floyd's impact on rock and roll (or on the recording of music post-1973). Despite any tarnishing that may have happened to their legacy thanks to the fake Floyd packages and Roger Waters' runaway ego, they were a great band. One of the greatest.So I was a little confused what to make of this DVD. There's no denying that the band have some interesting interplay. There's no denying that they put together some great tunes here and there. There's no denying what a great location this concert was shot in. It might be the single best concert location ever committed to film. But the reality is that this is the Floyd before they broke free. Before Dark Side of the Moon pushed them over the top. What we're left with is a hit and miss compilation. There are some great moments, but there are also some truly trying stretches. Imagine a bunch of stoned hippies trying to turn a three minute single into a thirty minute "masterwork." Now add organ.Great moments. Great band. Just not their best work.

juancarlos_gmg The idea. The scenario. The music. The performance. The Band. The greatest. I can only say that Pompeii and Pink Floyd talk for themselves. It transmitted me the complete idea of what Pink Floyd is...or was in that time. After seeing this movie every music lover will be you delighted and every Pink Floyd fan will be enlightened (and if you do not like music nor pink floyd at all don't bother continuing reading this commentary).The songs perfectly match the Greek amphitheatre, the space sequences shown, and every song was PERFECTLY performed, so exact, including the participation of a dog singin the blues in "Mademoiselle Nobs", Roger banging the gong with the sun behind (an amazing picture!!!), the speechless improvising between songs, that leaves you only with the desire of having been there when it all happened.It also contains some fragments of what was the beginning of the recording of the masterpiece "Dark Side of the Moon" and commentaries by the four, which you'll find very interesting and wise, which give you also the perspective of Pink Floyd by its members.Buy, beg, borrow or steal...(well, not steal), but see it right away cause Adrian Maben and Pink Floyd really hit the spot in this one.

halls-4 This film is one of the most impressive music docs I've ever seen. I live in Iceland and we don't have much of rare DVD material like these old concepts albums, VHS or what-ever - reproduced and remade to DVD. But God bless the Internet - because with it's help - I could get a copy, legally of course - and this film is great to watch on a gigantic theater-mode tent I have in my garage (which I turned into an office - the kind you can go to and listen to music, play the guitars, read good books and use the Internet for great things). Then I put my feet up - comfortably numb I watch from the computer, through the home-theater network system, to a projector that shows with great quality on a big theater-tent as big as the garage-doors. And with 8 speakers - 2 at the front left and right - 200watts. Not very uncomfortable!-Oh... yeah.. the Live at Pompeii movie... It's the best! Everybody who want's to learn to listen to Pink Floyd or has learned but earns for more (P U L S E does not come out on DVD until next fall). -PINK FLOYD:LIVE AT POMPEII IS THE ONE TO SEE!Note: Scenes from volcanic eruption are filmed in Iceland and also you can see in some scenes the hot spring place called "Geysir" and "The Blue Lagoon" (a natural hot water filled with some great minerals, health mud or something like that, right in the middle of a lava-area)Both are places in Iceland whom no tourist misses.

christafer225 Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a true masterpiece with the excellent combination of adding the psychedelic features of Pompeii with some of Pink Floyd's greatest songs. Although it isn't as good as The Wall it's definitely a great movie to watch on a little of something if you know what i mean. Have a good time people I had a excellent time (wink wink). Chris Ferraro Your Friendly Neighborhood Commenter Thank You for your well deserved attention P.S.
