What just happened was the classic Pink Floyd playing for the lost souls of Pompeii, becoming totally inspired, and creating a concert experience like no other. They did stuff no one else would ever think to do, using their instruments in unconventional ways. This stuff freaks me out still and I saw the movie when released in the theaters, it never gets old. More incredible old-school Floyd to come, more music nirvana for you! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This is all kinds of instrumental eclectic craziness coalescing into one sound at the end! I think it represents chaos and then order. And yes that's Rodger Waters getting his frustrations out on percussion instruments!
Parts of this movie were filmed in a studio in Paris. The part where you asked if that was a green screen behind them. I think all of the audio is from Pompeii though, not entirely sure.
Pink Floyd were highly experimental. Even around the Dark Side of the Moon period they contemplated doing an album without instruments just using household objects. After a lot of work producing only two short pieces of music they dropped the idea. The two "songs" The Hard Way and Wine Glasses can be found on UA-cam. The latter was sound generated by gliding fingers across wineglasses creating different notes by filling it with more or less water. This sound was later repurposed in the first minutes of Shine On. Most think that sound was a synth, but it was wineglasses. On Gilmour's 2006 tour in Gdansk they actually created the sound live. With Gilmour also singing the first verses a capella it is an absolutely magical rendition.
As far as performing in this amphitheater which was covered in Ash in 79 ad and very well preserved by 10 ft or more of Ash from the Vesuvius eruption only Pink Floyd 1971 and David Gilmour 2016 of Pink Floyd were allowed to perform their EVER!! So if somebody is saying only a few musicians they're right with just Pink Floyd and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd!
Bare in mind, this song was from their 2nd album when Syd was almost out of the picture. Experimental can some times be a great tool when your main songwriter is literally no longer mentally functional ( Syd Barrett ) and you need to come up with something fast. Lol.
Back "in the day" we had a "Yang" to the "Yin" Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin So if you want to see Blues Rock that perfectly balances Psychodelic Rock Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973
The Floyd conflict didn't emerge till the 1980s... You've alluded to the eventual breakup of the band in the mid-80s several times during these recordings, Lijiek, but THAT is quite far in the band's future... There was zero "band anger" when Pompeii was recorded in 1972! I don't think "green screens" were a thing in the early 70s either, btw.
Haha not a typewriter, but some early analog effects processors, probably a Binson Echorec to do primitive reverb, probably some tape delay as well. This film was also the Floyd saying goodbye to their old musique concrete experimental days; they played a lot of their old psychedelic standards as in some of the interstitials you can see them recording what would become Dark Side of the Moon, from which they never looked back.
I've always heard the progression of this as being stolen by the Who's "See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me." But I've never heard anyone talk about it. Does anyone else hear that?
Roger Waters is the Creative Genius of Pink Floyd Rick Wrights is the Rhythmic Strings Soul of Pink Floyd Nick Mason is the Pulse & Heart Beat of Pink Floyd David Gilmour is the Voice and Guitar of Pink Floyd S'hine on Y'our crazy D'iamond Barret is the Virtual Sound Mind and Visusl of Pink Floyd , ✨️ Welcome to The Experience Trippedelic Floydian Journey ✨️
This was the first performance at the OLDEST Roman Ampitheatre after it was reclaimed and partly restored. There was NO electricity so they joined hundreds of power cords and leeds and plugged into a farm house .......a long way away. lol The Coliseum in Rome was not built until 80 years AFTER Pompeii was destroyed by Mt Vesuvius.
The stratocaster David Gilmore's playing that eventually became the black scrap that recently sold a few years ago for over 3 million dollars at auction for charity.
As a life long Floyd fan and i have this on video , i still far prefer the studio version by a long way . I think they were still in the shadow of Syd and Rick Wright took the band forward again and were not quiet hitting the mark playing live as they were when Dark Side of The Moon came out i think thats when the Live performance gathered pace .
What's the secret? There seem to be more than one, according to the song title. And the Universe won't ever reveal them. It lets The Silence do It's talking. One equation covers our predicament: God = Mystery.
When you grow up with people that you admire and worship, it’s hard when they shuffle off ……… RIP Richard Wright.

A transformation from chaos to beauty, what a rendition to the ancient spirits of the place❤
The drummer's name is nick mason keyboard player's name is richard Wright

Agree I thought it out of Chaos comes tranquility
@@jeffreywolff329 much better stated
Rappresenta il caos ed il disordine creato dalla guerra e nella parte finale CELESTIAL VOICES le anime dei morti nei conflitti salgono al Cielo.

They did record some stuff in a studio later, guess the director might have lost some footage or something
It doesnt get any better.
I want my ashes scattered on the hills next to my hometown at the sound of this soundscapist marvel.
And everyone followed Nick Mason, and why not..? Man’s a legend.
Love it, Thank you!

Yes, Pink Floyd was a busy band, so they took typewriters on stage so they could catch up on their correspondence during the long songs. 🤣
😂😂😂 That explains it perfectly!
Told ya it would blow your mind.
You have a great sense of humour!
great reaction !!!
As far as performing in this amphitheater which was covered in Ash in 79 ad and very well preserved by 10 ft or more of Ash from the Vesuvius eruption only Pink Floyd 1971 and David Gilmour 2016 of Pink Floyd were allowed to perform their EVER!!

Yes, that is Waters.
4:48 its his preamp. Hes messing with the knobs on it

Rick Wright adds so much to PF, Roger was so wrong about him and as much the PF sound as much as Roger was to the writing part.
The "type writer" is a delay effect machine.
I think. I could be wrong.
Back "in the day" we had a "Yang" to the "Yin"
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin
So if you want to see Blues Rock that perfectly balances Psychodelic Rock
Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973
that was fire reaction, countinue please pompeii

Opps! May be wrong about green screen tech history... It's complicated: neweblabs.com/the-evolution-of-the-green-screen

fire
how did you get video art i have not born witness to in over50 decaddes. damm girl. love ya.
I didn't really appreciate the song till I saw this video on the movie back when I had it.
My favorite is the next song coming up.
Not a type writer but a Binson Echorec delay.
That's what I thought. Some type of Ecoplex but I wasn't sure as Ecoplex's were typically black and silver. I'm just not familiar with all brands.
It’s his sound board
The stratocaster David Gilmore's playing that eventually became the black scrap that recently sold a few years ago for over 3 million dollars at auction for charity.
Not a typewriter.. is a tape delay effect device, a Binson Echorec
👌🙏❣

Yeah, na, I'm thinking you don't start playing a typewriter in the middle of a concert...
What's the secret? There seem to be more than one, according to the song title. And the Universe won't ever reveal them. It lets The Silence do It's talking. One equation covers our predicament: God = Mystery.
Really? A typewriter? -_-
You could have a look at the song Fat Old Sun by Dave Gilmore live at Gdansk
Too many pause s
That’s a Synth… lol Not a Typewriter , 🤣🤦🏽♂️
OH LOL, no wonder there's no paper in it haha
No digital in them days, so, not a green screen. What, in film days, was referred to as a "Matte shot".
