Stylish film of the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd in 1971 performing a concert with no audience, in the ancient Roman Amphitheater in the ruins of Pompeii, Italy. There are four editions of the film: the original 1972 version with the concert only (60 min.), a longer 1974 theatrical version (85 min.) featuring the concert interspersed with interviews and footage of Pink Floyd in the studio working on their next album, Dark Side of the Moon, the 2003 Director's Cut which added CGI effects to the 1974 version, then finally the 2016 Blu-ray version which re-arranged the song order of the 2003 version.

"10/10. Unique "concert" film chronicles Pink Floyd at its creative peak, just before they reached superstardom with Dark Side of the Moon. Even the Beastie Boys pay homage in their Gratitude video. Hardcore Pink Floyd fans need only apply."

"Fantastic concert film. I'm not even that huge on a lot of Floyd's pre Dark Side of the Moon albums besides The Piper At the Gate. I would say that the post Syd Barrett but pre-Dark Side era of Pink Floyd is the most awkward but they still made it absolutely work here, opening and closing with probably the best song of that era "Echos." It all feels extremely thematically appropriate and inspired."
