Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII - Echoes - Part 1 - Edit

Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben, returns to cinemas, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage with enhanced audio!

**ABOUT PINK FLOYD AT POMPEII – MCMLXXII**
Pink Floyd At Pompeii pre-dates the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon. The film documents what Pink Floyd did before they became giants of the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic - where their music remains celebrated to this day. Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy, this unique and immersive film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. 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.”

The film has been meticulously hand restored, frame-by-frame, from the original 35mm cut negative - discovered in five dubiously labelled cans within Pink Floyd's own archives. This momentous breakthrough unearthed the very film that rolled through the cameras during those sweltering days amidst the ruins of Pompeii over 50 years ago.

Led by Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd, the team’s mission was to preserve the integrity and beauty of the original picture. The film was scanned in 4K using advanced techniques to ensure the finest, sharpest detail. Colors were enhanced, and every frame was meticulously reviewed and repaired, maintaining a natural and vivid appearance with minimal grain adjustments.

The film also features stunning sound quality with a new theatrical and home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos that enhances the film's depth and clarity, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Wilson’s aim was to remain faithful to how the band would have sounded on those scorching hot days in 1971.

The accompanying album release Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII will see the performance presented as a full-length live record for the very first time. The 2025 remix by Steven Wilson is newly available on CD/LP/Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Audio/Dolby Atmos from 2 May.

Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII is presented by RM Productions and directed by Adrian Maben. It is executive produced by Reiner Moritz and Michelle Arnaud. Sony Music Vision is the distributor.

FINALLY.
The pitch has been corrected!!

[pmbedmaking]

nick’s playing is really breathtaking. I am stunned by his nice drums of all Pink Floyd songs at any time.

[g.r.]

If I ever have F it money, I'm building an IMAX theater on my estate to play this, and nothing else. On demand. For the rest of my life.

[lukestables]

I remember when I was about 17 watching this and thinking it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. 20 years later and still the same feeling.

[myworms]

I watched the VHS a hundred times at least when I was a teen, so I can say that this looks and sounds so, so much better than it ever has!!

[theturtleproject]

so glad Wilson got to do this and not some random lab coat, sounds amazing

[westozy]

This is it, the peak of musical art. Absolute perfection

[ngmusicnstuff]

This is peak restoration quality. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears at first but then I did an A/B comparison with the original and now I am convinced that I am witnessing pure art and engineering brilliance.

[Juancho-]

Literally when I got home the first thing I did was cry... when I remembered sit in that living room with a group of people clapping and enjoying every second... after seeing this... I don't know what else to say...

[WiplashWang]

Just got home from an IMAX showing. It was even more beautiful than i had hoped. Never thought I be able to see it in a proper theater would quality It was so awesome.

This is an ode to all the souls who live under the ashes for eternity, it's mystical. My skin always crawls every time I see this concert.

[fredrydmusic]

I'm going to see Pink Floyd's Pompeii 1972 concert movie in the IMAX theatre tomorrow. Can't wait to experience it in HD sound and the songs especially Echoes. Pink Floyd are still the greatest band in the music history. 👍

[Pat_Alex]

"Echoes" is and will forever be one of the most amazing pieces of art ever made.

[Chrozi]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Just got back from the IMAX and I am STUNNED at the quality of the sound. Absolutely incredible mix. Ricks vocals were behind me up to my right, Dave up the left, the drums were center, keys and base all around, the whispers were crystal clear but the high pitched wails weren’t harsh. I wish my teenage self could know I would see this one of these days.

[supasquib]

Richard and David's voices together never stop being magnificent.

[BillBolam]

15 years old when I first saw this film, and my life has never been quite the same. Thanks Guys!

[JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

I have listened to and watched this music many times, and it literally gives me chills every time. Thanks to David, Nick, Rick & Roger for your art, talent and hard work. Best. Band. Ever.

[hatemfarouk]

Perfect example that shows connection between heart and guitar .

[MrStrat]

David and Rick singing together and you're in heaven 🤩😍

[paulcullum]

The finest version of Echoes you will ever hear has somehow got even
