The music of Pink Floyd - colourful imaginative surrealistic and highly inventive - lends itself very well to visual representation. Shot in and around an ancient amphitheatre among the ruins of old Pompeii Pink Floyd treat the viewer to a stunning audio-visual experience. This session was skilfully recorded in the sun splashed arena by day and amidst the eerily-lit scene of volcanic destruction by night and is a perfect transition from audio to video media. The set begins and ends with the massive composition Echoes from the album Meddle and also includes the following titles: Echoes Careful With That Axe Eugene A Saucerful Of Secrets Us and Them One of these days Mademoiselle nobs Brain damage Set the controls for the heart of the sun echoes. Director Adrian Maben brings us a brand new version of a legendary film. In addition to the existing interviews shot during the 1972 recording of dark side of the moon this cut features unique personal footage of the band working on Live at Pompeii in Paris atmospheric space shots and a host of new visual effects. Also included on this DVD is an interview with Adrian Maben discussing the creation of both the original film and the extended director's cut.
