Pink Floyd – Live at Pompeii MCMLXXII

This will be released in cinemas on 24 April. It’s the full original 90-minute cut, restored after being re-scanned in 4K from the 35mm negative. The soundtrack has been remixed too (from this clip, it’s been speed-corrected and the mix is notably drier than previously), in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos by one Steve Wilson.

On 2 May it’ll be out on Blu-ray and DVD, but also on vinyl and CD.

Vinyl tracklist:
Side A

  1. Pompeii Intro
  2. Echoes - Part 1
  3. Careful With That Axe, Eugene

Side B

  1. A Saucerful of Secrets
  2. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

Side C

  1. One of These Days
  2. Mademoiselle Nobs
  3. Echoes - Part 2

Side D

  1. Careful With that Axe, Eugene - Alternate take
  2. A Saucerful of Secrets - Unedited


The audio from the YouTube clip above is available on all the usual streamers – Apple, Amazon, Tidal etc…

Interesting. But can you clarify what you mean by the mix being drier? Less reverb? If so that suggests the reverb was added in mixing the original, rather the captured in the recording.

Yes, less reverb than before.

Another purchase order to @Mike_S . In Blue Ray, of course.

Not really my Floyd era, but just grabbed these old DVD’s used. The SQ on “In the Flesh” is stunning.

Just Pre-Ordered the 4K Blu-Ray to add to my PF collection.
I have the Directors Cut DVD version, so this should be so much better for the video and audio.

I still cannot forgive the splitting of PF’s greatest track. :laughing:

But as they say, “resistance is futile”…….and it will go on “Dad’s birthday surprise pressie” list.
