Pink Floyd

Today in 1972, the premiere of Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii was held in Edinburgh, Scotland. The atmospheric footage of the band in action, in a deserted amphitheatre, has mesmerised audiences ever since. When did you first see the film?

I saw it for the first time back in 1972 in NYC. I had the whole theater to myself. It was an afternoon showing. Absolutely AWESOME!!!!! I have it still on VHS tape and the DVD as well. Shine On!!!!

Saw this at the Fox theater summer of 1973? Saturday afternoon matinee! Pot and tea (grainy white powder psyodellic) were included. Blew me away along with ELP Concert (show never ends) Ever since they have been my favorite music, nudged aside but didn't replace Led Zep! To be 15 and experience this music has always made me so happy and appreciative, thank you God!!!

Back in 2020 was the first time I saw it when it was made free to watch for a day in order to cure the “quarantine blues.” Loved it!

I first saw it when I was a senior in high school in 1991. I was, and still am, in constant amazement at the rawness and simple beauty both visually and audibly. Generational talent.

Greatest concert film ever. I first saw it in a theater, in 1980 when I was in high school. My friend and I chugged a six pack and did some really strong, psychedelic weed and ran to the theater. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I watched this for the first time in 2022. Took some mushrooms with my buddies and decided this would be the trip music. We also listened to Pink Floyd’s 1977 show in Montreal. It was mind blowing

I saw the director’s cut of the original 1972 film in 2017 just after I had went to see Roger Waters in concert on his “Us and Them” tour. It was really nice to see the band performing and being interviewed as well as recording their classic album “Dark Side of the Moon!!!”

2005… 15 years old and my best friend’s Dad introduced us to this wonderful performance. Has been in my opinion their greatest/flawless performances live. Definitely epitomizes the legend of Pink Floyd.

Around 1990 when I lived with my nana and grandad. That show and the black and white one that Zep did called 'Danmarks Radio' for 50 kids sat on the floor around them are the best 2 performances I've ever seen. Especially Echoes.

2011 on BBC 4. I zapped right into "One of these days" and this is when my passion for Pink Floyd began. I was blind and now I can see!

In 1982 on the television with terrible sound at a friends house. Went out and bought the vhs tape and whenever dvd came along upgraded to that. Sound and picture are so much better now that I own my own stereo equipment and tv. This is the best live concert out there with Led Zeppelin’s song remains the same a close second.

I was completely obsessed with Pink Floyd at Pompeii all throughout high school… I would come home from school and watch it start to finish playing my guitar along with the tracks I could. I bought my first Stratocaster a dark blue just like David Gilmour‘s… A truly, epic film… Slow paced for today’s no attention span audiences, however, a classic, nevertheless!

Saw it back in the day on tv, surprisingly. I was mesmerized, hypnotized and electrified by this amazing performance. The footage is brilliant and the music is iconic. Later bought it on VHS and now on DVD
