Synopsis
The music of Pink Floyd, coloful, 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 treats the viewer to a stunning audio-visual experience. Live versions of Echoes (split into 2 parts), Careful with that axe, Eugene, A Saucerful of Secrets, One of These Days, Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun, Mademoiselle Nobbs (Seamus, but with Rick's dog on vocals). "Careful" and "Set the controls" are shot at night with minimal lighting, setting a beautiful mood. And the live Saucerful just has to be seen, with Waters jumping around in the sunlight banging the huge gong. The 80-minute version features studio footage from the recordings of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, UMMAGUMMA and MEDDLE with alternate versions of Us and Them, On the run and Brain Damage, as well as memorable interviews with the band.
