Pink Floyd At Pompeii isn’t a traditional live album—it’s a surreal, atmospheric document of the band performing in the empty ruins of a Roman amphitheater, captured in 1971 without an audience. The setting amplifies the eerie, spacey vibe of the music, especially on extended versions of “Echoes” and “A Saucerful of Secrets,” where the echo of ancient stone adds ghostly weight to the sound. This is Pink Floyd in their purest psychedelic form—untethered, introspective, and otherworldly. The album, stunningly mixed by Steven Wilson in 2025, marks the first time this amazing document has been officially released as a stand-alone audio recording in conjunction with the film’s Blu-ray release. If you like Pink Floyd at all, this is for you.
2025 US pressing from Columbia and it sounds nothing less than phenomenal.
