Live at Pompeii - 2025 European Sony Music Label 10-track Blu-ray

Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben, returns to theaters, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage with enhanced audio.

Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, the film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. Filmed in October 1971, the performance features unforgettable tracks such as “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “One of These Days.” The breathtaking visuals of the amphitheater, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance, creating a unique and immersive experience. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the band working on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

This meticulous restoration delivers stunning image and sound quality, featuring a theatrical and home entertainment mix from Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. These upgrades enhance the film's depth and clarity while preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Inspired by the golden warmth of Pompeii’s iconic setting, the remaster transforms this timeless piece into a masterpiece of sight and sound.

Steven Wilson has remixed the soundtrack in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo. The stereo mix features on new 2CD and 2LP vinyl sets, while the Atmos and 5.1 mixes are included on a blu-ray edition and the DVD which includes two cuts of Pink Floyd at Pompeii: the 85 minute feature film and the 60 minute concert. The CD and vinyl editions include two bonus tracks: ‘Careful With that Axe, Eugene – Alternate Take’ and ‘A Saucerful of Secrets – Unedited’. These are not on the blu-ray even though Steven Wilson told me he did remix them in Atmos!

Experience Pink Floyd like never before through this pioneering audio-visual remaster!
