Here at Cheap-price.net we have Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) at a terrific price. The real-time price may actually be cheaper — click “Buy Now” above to check the live price at Amazon.com.
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

Customer Reviews of Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut)
Pink Floyd is great live. Even if there isn't a crowd And yet with no crowd I beleive Pink Floyd spent more time pleasing their own ears then if there was a crowd there, which made the music fantastic and out there. "Saucerful of Secrets"(One of few songs I like better live then studio) live is crazy man, Love the Gilmour vocals at the end. "Echoes" is breathtaking. To see this band perform live before the Dark Side of the Moon days would be a really awesome treat to the ears. They shined so much in their early years more then The Wall, IMO. What I would give to see "Atom Heart Mother" live. Probably nothing, but it would be really amazing. <

>This movie gets you in touch with the band and holds some of their best work ever recorded. A must see and hear flick for any Floyd fan. This is rock and roll at it's best! Hell you could just play the dvd as background music with the picture off and just groove to the music. Pink Floyd is beyond amazing. No band compares to their sound. Just imagine the experiance the band had playing in the lost ash covered city of Pompeii.
Awesome
This DVD is awesome. It's got incredible video and audio. It's so much fun watching them perform live and work on the tunes for 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Watching Roger Waters dink around with their new electronic toys is so damn cool... and David Gilmore, so glassy-eyed throughout the entire feature... Pink Floyd at their best. I *highly* recommend this DVD.
Very well done...More like 4.25 stars :)
Pink Floyd at Pompeii is an excellent document to a long lost era of one of the best bands ever, but most of you know this already. Like alot of people, the directors cut took a bit getting used to as I've owned the vhs for almost 20 years now. However, I really believe some of the added parts are superior to the original. The added scenes usually take the place of the full band shots that occur during certain songs. These shots are of all of the band members and they look awkwardly close together and the whole shot just doesn't seem right. For example, in the original version during Saucerful of Secrets during the Celestial Voices segment the original would cut to all four band members playing. The problem is, it looks completely weird, Gilmour's hair is blowing from the wind and is covering his face when he sings in closeups , yet when it cuts to the group shot it's pefectly still. I could be mistaken here, but he also seems to be lip syncing in these "group shots" Another example, during Careful with the Axe, Eugene on the original group shot, Rick Wright appears to beardless, even though he has a beard the rest of the time. Now maybe he shaved during the recording of these shows or my eyesight really IS failing me, but these shots simply didn't work. It's hard to explain unless you've seen it but it looks really hokey and it happens during most of the songs. I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this and I'm *glad* they replaced those parts. There are however, still parts where shots of pompeii and various pompeii artwork have inexplicably been replaced with inferior computer art and shots of abbey road. The ability to watch the original 60 min film is very nice, I just wish they made this a 2 dvd set and included the vhs film as well. Regardless, the interview segments in the directors cut have been expanded over the vhs version and are really cool to watch. The studio footage is pretty good to watch as well but would have been better left as an extra, as some people have already stated. Despite these minor shortcomings, this is a very well done movie. The directors cut seems to get a bad rap from alot of folks. But the option to watch the original makes this worth the money in and of itself.
