The band play to almost no audience, save for a limited film crew, resulting in a strange and alluring visual experience, which emphasizes the scale and beauty of the natural environment and captures an almost mythical snapshot of the band circa 1972.
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii has rightly become one of the most celebrated films of its kind and the location lends the film a minimal beauty as the camera lingers on the vast, empty landscapes of Pompeii. The band cycle through some of their most famed tracks of the time such as “Echoes, Part 1” “Careful with That Axe, Eugene” and “A Saucerful of Secrets“, capturing Pink Floyd at the height of their fame and influence.
Priced at £18 for adults and £10 for Under 14s this is a rare chance to see the bands iconic performance open air in a cinema environment.
