Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII (2025) [Vinyl]

Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii, the legendary 1972 concert film directed by Adrian Maben, has been visually restored, with audio newly remixed, and will be reissued on audio and video formats, in May, as Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII.

Pink Floyd at Pompeii pre-dates the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon and is set in the ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. Filmed in October 1971 – without an audience – the performance was the first live concert to take place at Pompeii, and features ‘Echoes,’ ‘A Saucerful of Secrets,’ and ‘Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’, amongst others. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band beginning work on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

Filmed in October 1971, the performance marked the very first live concert to take place at Pompeii, and features the vital ‘Echoes,’ ‘A Saucerful of Secrets,’ and ‘One of These Days.’ The breathtaking visuals of the amphitheatre, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band beginning work on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

Nick Mason said “Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii is a rare and unique document of the band performing live in the period prior to the The Dark Side Of The Moon.”
