Live at Pompeii was originally released in September 1972, an edited release in 1974 with studio recordings of Dark Side of the Moon.

[Zorra]

1. sigh...nostalgia descends...

thanks, babsbunny

[MannyGoldstein]

2. Believe it or not, they showed this at my high school

I then understood why it was called high school.

Amazing film, i loved watching the recordings of Dark Side of the Moon. And all of the other stuff.

[tridim]

3. I love this doc. Not sure if I've seen the directors cut tho.

[Canuckistanian]

4. Thanks!

My 15 year old son is mad about Pink Floyd. He's collecting all their albums.

And I'm mystified as to WHY. Well not really, their music in some ways is timeless.

[Flatulo]

10. It really pleases me that a whole new generation is discovering just how great

70s rock was. Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who, what a great decade for rock.

[Le Taz Hot]

5. Love Pink Floyd

And look how young David Gilmour is! Thanks for this.

[Tom Ripley]

16. "I never knew that there was a goodlooking guy in Pink Floyd!"...

according to my wife when she first saw this footage 5 or 6 years ago

[Le Taz Hot]

19. To put it in 1972 Southern California language:

"David Gilmour was a tomato."

[Tom Ripley]

20. "Coarse, pudding face limeys...they look like Cromwell's army" is how she had described Floyd...

until she saw the young Gilmour. She definitely agrees that he was a "tomato"

[JI7]

21. i find young Syd Barrett to be very attractive

before he had his problems and left the band.

[Tom Ripley]

22. You're right; the young Michael Stipe picked up on a lot of THAT

[arely staircase]

34. that cover was

actually released as a.45 that came out in Sassy magazine for teen girls. I kid you not. I know.because I bought it when it came out.

[kentuck]

6. Pretty heavy duty.

Thanks!

[WillyT]

7. Thanks !!!

[Gregorian]

8. I just watched the entire Syd Barret and Pink Floyd discography last week.

Youtube just got good in the last few months with full length albums.

It's hard to watch this. Back in the 70's I had so much musical creativity. I took a different path after one of my music mentors died. Now I'm scrambling to make sense, and to almost try and recover a life withing a life that could have been. But we only live once.

This is cool.

[chknltl]

9. Enjoyed every last second of that just now.

Thank you for posting this.

[Fuddnik]

11. Kick and Rec!

I saw that when it first came out.

[dionysus]

12. i had pompeii in college and we wore out the tape... echoes is their best song IMO...

[RedStateLiberal]

13. Enjoyed!

Thanks for sharing this. Love the Floyd and had only seen parts of this.

[pa28]

14. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

I've been looking for this off and on for a while.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. Then there's "Dark Side of the Rainbow".

Fans noticed years ago the incredible coincidence of how "Dark Side of the Moon" tracked with the visuals from "The Wizard of Oz".

[ohheckyeah]

17. Awesome...

thanks!

[NYC_SKP]

18. I've got the entire thing on 12" Laser Disc.

Unfortunately, I don't have a working 12" player anymore.

[gtar100]

23. Beautiful perspective of our little corner of the galaxy.

Beautiful and terrifying, the awesome powers we are surrounded by.

[OnyxCollie]

24. This makes me so sad.

People, places, and things long gone.

I can remember, way back in the 80's, walking across campus while listening to "Echoes" on my Sony Walkman, as wet snow settled on my green Army coat.

Sigh. Makes me sad.

[Amonester]

25. Saw them live the first time in Québec on Nov. 10, 1971

at the Pavillon de la Jeunesse of Université Laval! They pretty much played all those songs in Pompeii, live, with the first quadraphonic surrounding PA system.

I'll never forget that venue!

I just missed Roger Waters's The Wall live at Québec's Plaines d'Abraham last week-end, though. Too poor to travel there and that's sad.

Thanks for posting!

Bookmarked.

[dogknob]

26. Love me some Floyd. Don't get me wrong...

A great deal of their music is in fact timeless. With his new presentation of The Wall, Roger Waters has absolutely claimed the honor of being "The Last Living And Relevant Real Rock Star On The Face Of The Earth." And the performances in this film, particularly "Echoes," are breathtaking.

But GD? C'mon man...

I posted a link to the Naomi Wolf documentary "The Shock Doctrine" here a week ago and it dropped from sight like a rock wearing cement shoes. I was even called out for "attempting to score political points from the Aurora Massacre."

This is why Romney has a good chance of winning and this is why the GOP is likely to keep control of the US House: the reality of what depths the GOP will descend to in order to purchase and/or extort control of this country is simply TOO HORRIFYING AND UNPLEASANT TO HONESTLY DISCUSS HERE!

"Political points?" Try to remember something: this is not a football game. There is no "next season." If the Kochs and friends succeed in November, this place is going to be screwed for a long, long time...

...but if that happens, we won't be bitching about it here because DU will be gone.

[Amonester]

30. Wrong. This is not why Rmoney has a chance of winning.

Not enough people working the phones or just working there might be: http://www.barackobama.com/

Besides, Naomi Wolf is well known here. Outside DU or progressives sites, not that much (and it's sad).

[dogknob]

31. You have employed a great GOP tactic.

Of shifting the subject. Good job.

[Zorra]

35. Why Pink Floyd is relevant material for GD on a Progressive Democratic message board:

Their art was somewhat a concise form of the "Shock Doctrine" before Naomi wrote her book. I would not be surprised if somehow, directly or indirectly, Pink Floyd had some influence on Naomi writing the Shock Doctrine. The music/lyrics of Pink Floyd helped fill in pieces of the puzzle for me when I was a young radical liberal Democrat still trying to figure out what Vietnam was all about.


Us and Them - lyrics by Roger Waters

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

rMoney

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

[burrowowl]

27. Thanks for link!

[2on2u]

32. Timeless music, there will never be a generation that doesn't take to this like a duck to

water. Recommend.

[ArnoldLayne]

33. The Directors cut is good but

I still prefer the Original Pink Floyd-Live at Pompeii version.

[flamingdem]

36. The Ummagumma tour was better

Plus the earliest albums, Emily Plays, forget the name of that one.
