I wanted to but couldn't!

Fantastic!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I have been watching this DVD of Pompeii over and over and I just can't seem to get enough of it. I happen to really enjoy the interviews with the band members as I find them to be quite amusing! They have left my friends and I with many memorable quotes to use. The music on the Pompeii disc is unbelievably incredible and it only makes me appreciate the Floyd that much more. This DVD is the best ever. I do believe however that only a true Floyd fan can truly appreciate this movie, including the interviews. The shot of Dave with his headphones on coming out from behind the shadows to look at the cameraman just sends me over the edge every time I watch it. It makes me feel as if he is just looking at me, and it makes me melt every time. Nick to me seems a tad pompous at times but I understand he is from the upper crust of society. Rick seems a bit mousy at times, but his playing outdoes any of that. Roger of course is genius and Dave is unrivaled in his playing (and his looks!!)

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.

This film is nothing short of "must see" documentary history. I'll never be able to fully express how moving it is to see the young men of Pink Floyd during uninhibited moments of creativity, eating and chatting together, rehearsing, having philosophical discussions about the fate of rock-n-roll music and the shaking off of their drug-oriented image, and even arguing now and then. Beyond how intriguing the band and it's members are, the film itself is so well directed and beautifully shot. The sound is excellent. Incredibly artistic film montages add to, rather than detract from the music. I have never seen a better portrayal of live music. The sheer musicianship of these men is mind boggling. Each is highlighted at different points in the film and it is clear that they have immense skill and talent. Pink Floyd was so ahead of its time and will never seem out of style. And this film, although shot in 1972, is as fresh as a daisy. There are some incomparable moments, making this truly the best rock documentary I have ever seen. David Gilmour looks very handsome, by the way, and will always be my favorite guitar god. **swoon**

This is what Pink Floyd were like before Dark Side of the Moon shattered their status as a cult band. By performing in such peculiar surroundings they showed they didn't care if this was a daring move - playing live with no public but an empty amphitheater build 2000 years before.The songs are greatly performed - the only flaws are the filming, that sometimes doesn't show what it should. Examples of that are One Of These Days and near the end of Echoes, part 1. However, the video is a must see and have for any true Floyd fan. The Mademoiselle Nobs bit with the dog singing to a blues melody is amusing, reminding us of the same device used in the track Seamus from the Meddle album.By the way, it is said there is one edition of this video featuring interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of the band in the studio, but unfortunately this is not the one I've got.Forget about the lame stuff the Roger-less Floyd have put out and sit down, relax and watch a great piece of music.10/10.
