DVD Reviews of Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut)
DVD Review: Pink Flyod's "Live from Pompeii"
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first received the dvd it had some glitches in it. When I sent an e-mail to Beaches and told them the problem, they took care of it with no hassle at all. I received a new copy in a short period of time. The new copy was perfect and I truly enjoyed it. I will keep doing business with Beaches.
Sinecerly,

DVD Review: PF n Pompeii
Summary: 5 Stars
This live show/documentary style video is an excellent capture of the imaginitive and raw musical power of one of the most avant guard bands of the 20th century. Excellent close up footage and great songs.DVD Review: Sweet, sweet awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? You just have to watch it. I can say that I don't think any other band could stand up to the awesomeness of Pompeii and make it actually work.DVD Review: Original movie is fantastic. New stuff is junk
Summary: 4 Stars
I love PF and i love the original movie. The new stuff is a distraction at best and I skip it every time. The best part of this edition is that the original movie looks and sounds great. DVD Review: S I R I T U A L !
Summary: 5 Stars
ECHOS Part I & II on this may be the single best piece of music ever created anywhere in the history of man. If you are musically mature enough to handle this, then you should really listen to this. I think this was as good as it got for Pink Floyd. This was it. The epicenter of goodness.
I dont care if the directors cut isn't that good. It doesnt matter. This director still came up with one of the best ideas ever, in the original. As far as I am concerned, he deserves to be allowed to come up with some mediocre filler. All the orig. video was lost, anyhow, unfortunately.
Description of Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut)
Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 10/03/2006Conceived by the French director Adrian Maben as "an anti-Woodstock film," Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii was shot in October 1971 in a vacant, 2,000-year-old amphitheater--a venue chosen to accentuate the grandeur and spaciousness of the band's Meddle-era music. This disc contains a new, 90-minute director's cut as well as the original 60-minute concert film, whose production and effects feel inescapably dated. Maben's cut goes to great lengths to lend the film a more contemporary feel, but it's the earlier version that makes this disc such a gem, being more focused on the music and more wholistic in vision. The anamorphic, 16:9 director's cut interweaves the Pompeii performances with fascinating but distracting interviews and music snippets filmed later (mostly during the recording of Dark Side of the Moon). The movie was originally prepared in a 4:3 aspect ratio, however, and the widescreen version crops perfectly framed images like the nine-square mosaic of drummer Nick Mason in "One of These Days." The original offers plenty of closeups of fingers on frets and keys, with shots that are often luxuriously long in duration. And the picture quality from Pompeii is revelatory: outstandingly sharp and clear, rich in subtle grades of light and color.
Generous extras include everything from original posters, reviews, bootleg album covers, and song lyrics to a 24-minute interview with Maben. But for all the director's talk of the glorious acoustics in Pompeii's amphitheater, there's little natural ambience to be heard. The Dolby Digital 2.0 sound is clear, dry, and two-dimensional, though notably better than any previous video release. --Michael Mikesell
