Absolutely Brilliant!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There's no contesting Pink Floyd's impact on rock and roll (or on the recording of music post-1973). Despite any tarnishing that may have happened to their legacy thanks to the fake Floyd packages and Roger Waters' runaway ego, they were a great band. One of the greatest.So I was a little confused what to make of this DVD. There's no denying that the band have some interesting interplay. There's no denying that they put together some great tunes here and there. There's no denying what a great location this concert was shot in. It might be the single best concert location ever committed to film. But the reality is that this is the Floyd before they broke free. Before Dark Side of the Moon pushed them over the top. What we're left with is a hit and miss compilation. There are some great moments, but there are also some truly trying stretches. Imagine a bunch of stoned hippies trying to turn a three minute single into a thirty minute "masterwork." Now add organ.Great moments. Great band. Just not their best work.

I have seen the short version of the film, as it has been broadcast last summer by the TV chain ARTE-TV. It is a great pleasure always for me to see in concert some of the great names of rock from the 60s or 70s, and in this case the quality of the film and the sound are very good. The setting is the amphitheater in Pompeii, combined with may shots from the ruins of the lost and rediscovered city. Beautiful setting, good music, and the faces of Pink Floyd members coming from time back more than 35 years ago - this is a fine experience for the music lovers. Otherwise the documentary value of the film is reduced, at least in this version. I read from other people comments that interviews and more preparation sequences exist in the longer version, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to see them.

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a true masterpiece with the excellent combination of adding the psychedelic features of Pompeii with some of Pink Floyd's greatest songs. Although it isn't as good as The Wall it's definitely a great movie to watch on a little of something if you know what i mean. Have a good time people I had a excellent time (wink wink). Chris Ferraro Your Friendly Neighborhood Commenter Thank You for your well deserved attention P.S. Pink Floyd is a respected band please do not laugh during the movie and just respect it for what it is. Ahh what am i saying have a good time its a psychedelic movie for a good time. Laugh!Laugh!Laugh!

An insight to the genius of Pink Floyd. The making of Dark Side Of The Moon, experimenting with new equipment etc.'Live' at Pompeii, talking to the dead of Pompeii, the idea alone, makes you want to find out what it is about.A great buy.
