Pink Floyd play without an audience among the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, in October 1971.
Adrian Maben's film, released in 1972, returns restored in 4K and with new mixes by Steven Wilson.
The film
The band is at its most creative, shortly before the worldwide success of «The Dark Side of the Moon». It was the first concert ever held there, with intense versions of «Echoes», «A Saucerful of Secrets» and «One of These Days».
Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd, restored the film in 4K from the recently rediscovered original 35 mm negative, frame by frame. This version brings together for the first time the 60-minute performance and the footage shot at Abbey Road Studios in a complete 90-minute cut.
The disc also includes rare footage of the band at Abbey Road Studios, where shortly after Pompeii they began the first sessions for «The Dark Side of the Moon», and the audio of the concert alone.
