- Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii , Italy
he main footage in and around the amphitheatre was filmed over four days in October 1971, using the band's regular touring equipment, including studio-quality 24-track tape recorders. Additional footage filmed in a Paris television studio the following December was added for the original 1972 release. The film was then re-released in 1974
he film has subsequently been released on video numerous times, and in 2003 a "Director's Cut" DVD appeared which combines the original footage from 1971 with more contemporary shots of space and the area around Pompeii

Everyone doing ok? Floyd is medicine for the mind
Damnnn it's true
Always nice to get in some Floyd time.
need the bass solo
how you doing
I'm going to be honest, at first this song was interminable to listen to, after some time, I got hooked and kept incessantly listening to it, something about this song is so beautiful...
Pink Floyd has sent more people into space than NASA...😉👍🏻
So True, I have been on many Trips with Floyd since the 70's. Cheers
Yes indeed ,but make sure you have headphones on.!
I love your comment. The music is literally mesmerising
@@anyagoodman5408 👍🏻😉
Hm. This is surely one of the best phrases that describes pink floyd that Ive ever read.
This arena was built in the year 70BC just for this performance
totally agree
Oh yes your real smart like hey let's build this because 1000 yrs pink Floyd will play here brilliant lack of brain cells...lol
Ha!
And so worht the wait..
They were planning ahead
Arguably the best Pink Floyd song ever written. The Pompeii version is so much better than the studio version. Gotta love that bass line towards the end.
Sooo true
Yes. :)
No comfortably numb is their best
So true….hearing Richard and David harmonize at the beginning is sublime.
I say that about almost every Pink Floyd song
I went to Pompei just to stand in the very same spot where they stood. I was listening to Pink Floyd in my headphones, it was absolutely epic! Then I went to Naples and had a pizza.
i was the pizza
@@bebedordecoca rip bro
I went to Florence and on my first night there there was an outdoor cinema playing this concert. Heaven ❤️
i did the same, but my pizza was in Capri.
I piza
The sound engineer deserves a Nobel peace prize for this
Probably never see anything like this again...epic song played in an epic place very cool to watch
@radyoaktifayran58 weu. 🌮
they had at least 10 engineers, some of them have their own wikipedia page
The vocals were overdubbed in the studio.
Yes. but he died 2000 years ago!!!
Anyone in 2024 ?
Absolutely!!
Always!!!

How the hell can only 4 guys create music like this is beyond anything I'll ever be able to understand
and so young to boot!
Create, isnt it more factual to think of it as used to create?
Progressive bands do exist outside of story, just not the professional ones.
Are these frequency patterns to scale?
Think of the materials materials that are Pink Floyd.
Syd Barret might be a schizophrenic.
if you listened to it you could swear there's atleast 8 of em
"Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me". Wow... just incredible.

News to me &, I'd imagine, them!
I think I saw Waters poo-poo the lyrics in an interview once, saying they were “6th Form”. I think he slightly resents the achievement of the GROUP.
Did you notice that when the lyrics are being sung Rick glances over to Dave 👍 best Floyd lyrics ever, and I don't know know a band that comes close to Floyd.
This is 50 years old. I repeat, this is 50 years old.
And surprisingly 50 isn't as old as I thought it would be😎
I was 13 and had all their albums. My friends thought I was weird. Then Dark Side of the Moon came out and I was cool.
the time is frozen for this kind of art. So deep.
And it has dated very well. Amazing song
Ageless timeless 🌠
The universe is over 14 billion years old and everyone watching this video was lucky enough to exist with Pink Floyd.
So true, we are truly blessed.
Amen to that lovely fact...been loving their music for about 45 years now..this is my favorite of all their albums,I think.Definately trippy, the accoustics of the empty coliseum are amazing!!!!🥰❤💯
I saw a youtube comment that was so beautiful, it made me teary-eyed. 🥺
A man wrote: "In 1972, as a teenager, I sat in a dark room, smoking a joint, listening to Pink Floyd on my headphones. Here I am, 50 years later, doing the exact same thing. I'm blessed to have lived during the time of Pink Floyd."
Oh so true my friend
Saucers full of secrets...
Those vocal harmonies without autotune.
Are those patterns found elsewhere even if on a massive/smaller scale?
Yeah, ricks vocals are tough as hell for me to do. I typically stick to singing rogers songs cause I got the same range as him but his voice is very simple.
Imagine people actually singing!!😂
@@justkiddin84 Roger waters disapproves
That bass riff man!
The section where Roger and Nick drop into that groove and the camera pans around the back of the speakers as Dave smashes out those power chords is surely one of the most iconic moments in rock. Awesome
I'm just amazed how people studiously & wilfully refuse to even acknowledge a nation that produced the Rock playlist for the planet.... Round the back of the speakers where it said - *"PINK FLOYD LONDON!"*

When your band is so epic you get to play a concert exclusively to ancient roman souls

ha yea, trust pink floyd to play "live" to nobody haha
@Guitarslingin Zombiekiller . . . yeah cool huh !
But perfect for recording with all the reverb under control of the engineer instead of some stadium
@Guitarslingin Zombiekiller . . . ahh the good ol days . . . i remember it like it was centuries ago .
Outstanding drumming by Nick Mason!
I went on a school trip in Pompeii about two weeks ago and I couldn't miss the opportunity to play the solo at 4:43 full volume in the middle of the amphitheatre. It felt magical
when i went to pompei in the summer of 2023, this song sounded on my mind.
I got kicked out of pompeii for taking a dump in one of the Roman toilets
I was only in my 20 when this happened. Today I am 70 and I feel the same enthusiasm when I heard this music in this place...
Floyd are timeless, I started to listen to them when I was 6/7. I'm now 46 and love their music more each time I hear them. Their music has literally saved my life on dark, dark days.
@@mrmillton4478 they are indeed, i am 17 and listen to them since i was 13 and dont plan stopping doing it.
Happy belated 70th chap ✌🏼
Six years younger. And same thing.
I ate a panini in that theatre in 2019. My family are from that part of Italy. Amazing video and music!
The older I get the more I realize Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time
greatest psych rock of all time - no doubt!
This is a fact. I have visions of my entire past present and sometimes even future listening to this band. No other band brings me on a trip that’s even close to what this band does. They’re truly therapeutic legends and will never be forgotten
Time innit.
Timeless
Timeless.
I've always loved the sequence that starts at around 6:25. The camera slowly rolling past the stacks of amps and cabinets marked with Pink Floyd London stencils. Such a statement.
Me too so awesome!
same !
Hell yes just awesome 😊
I felt satisfied that I'm not the only one who felt it❤
They were playing for a few, for a short time.
Why arent they touring now? Blackmails fictional and theres so many lies about Syd.
Live at Pompei will be the greatest music I'll listened in my lifetime, I have accepted that fact.
Pink Floyd was so far ahead of their time in 1970 that they showed the world what a concert in 2020 would look like
Thats really funny...and disturbing. I agree lol
@@cameronlowrey9371 gracefully pink floyd and the jaivas respected each other, both listened to their records.
@@ricardomoraga9182 What the hell are you even talking about here, dude?
It`s rather like 2035 than 2020
Who knew ? anything about what has happened in 2020/21.
Most bands play for an audience. Floyd plays for the gods
For sure.
💯
@Caring Mouse Led Zeppelin fan here but this is an absolutely epic masterpiece in music 🎶 🎵
I disagree, pink Floyd plays for the universe
I’m grateful - as are millions of others - that Pink Floyd recorded this performance. The studio version of Echoes doesn’t do justice to the magnificence of the band or the music. This is greatness on a transcendent scale.
all the songs on this live video are better than the album versions. Saucerful of Secrets on this video is absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
• LYRICS •
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
No-one speaks and no-one tries
No-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inciting and inviting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
Grazie mille Marta per il testo tanta luce a te
I do really think that this are the best lyrics in all Pop Rock history.
P.S. thanks a lot ❤
спасибо!
Overhead the Enterprise
Hangs motionless in high orbit
And deep beneath the toiling crews
In labyrinths of jefferies tubes
The echo of a red alert
Comes willowing across the coms
And everything is keen except the Breen
And no one calls us to beam down
And no one forces down our shields
No one hails, no distress calls
And no one warps around the sun
How can music like this be written? How far ahead their minds were? This is absolute magic.
pink floyd is a seperate music genre
Yeah, dear ELENA❤ ; YOU'RE SOOO RIGHT!! MUSIC NOT OF THIS WORLD ~ BUT FROM A FAR OFF GALAXY ! ! ! 😊 BERNIE GERMANY (ALSO BOLLYWOOD LOVER 🎉!). GREET YOU / BYE 😊
This was the moment the band really jelled into the perfect unit! Everyone was on their top game! They tried this on Atom Heart Mother, but wasn’t ready yet. It all came together HERE!!
They were out of this World!
Astounding! Miraculous! Brilliant! What talent!
Never get tired of listening to this ,from the 1st time I heard this as a kid (scared me to death) to present day. Nothing has or ever will come close to this masterpiece
The best band of all time
The song is weak and mediocre. No development, monotony. It’s not difficult to come up with this kind of music; you don’t need any talent or skill, you only need basic knowledge of music theory. And if there are studio opportunities, such music can be presented effectively and exotically. In general, Pink Floyd is pretentious junk.
This is the best sounding version of this song......and they did it live......what an amazing band.
They have didn't they? A beautiful experiment
it's great, just a shame they didn't go through with the haunting sea fog part which is supposed to be in the middle ??
shoutouts to whatever engineers set up the recording!!
I know, it’s insane. My favourite version also. 👍
They couldn’t of picked a better place either! Pompeii is very interesting!
As your trusted psychologist, I strongly recommend viewing this video once per day.

Pink Floyd is not a Band. It’s a phenomenon. Every chord, every riff, every drum beat, every cymbal, every word is a Masterpiece!
I still think pink Floyd are the embassadors of the earth in the universe
@@VSMartins398 so true 👍
Except for a big chunk of the final cut and a momentary lapse of reason
real¡¡¡
Psychedelic. Pink Floyd. There was no music like this on Earth before they came. They are not people of this world. Their masterpiece is inexplicable.
Not original comment but still true:
The Romans built this amphitheater so Pink Floyd could play this song in it 2000 years later.
Smart people, they knew what they were doing.
Don't ask what the Roman ever did for us!
"Theatrum aedificamus ut Pincus Floidus sonant"
"Pincus- quid?"
I am Spartacus 🤯
Deep
I have said so before, and I will say it again: Roger Waters is absolutely killing it here!
Dunno. His timing is a little off, to my ears.
You can see the drummer trying to pull him back into the pocket around 9:20 ish.
I, don't know where i would be without Pink Floyd in my life, Thank you so much for decades of cool
The Romans really knew what they were doing when they built that amphitheater.
A true classic never goes out of style
The Ramon's ?
@@josephchilders8316 Or whoever built that particular amphitheater, i don't know if it was the romans.
Pompei was a city near Napoli, it was destroyed by a volcano, there's a museum were you can see people solidified by the lava
The romans built this amphitheater for Pink Floyd.
Went to Naples and Pompei with the wife. Visited the amphitheater. The wife said, "Wow, over thousand years ago Romans filled this place". I said, 'Ya, but Pink Floyd played here!"
The day I visited it was feckin closed :( For no other reason than bloody David Gilmour, who was performing there that night (See Live at Pompeii 2017). I had absolutely no idea he was performing and we couldn’t get tickets for love nor money. Whenever I watch this video, I think of me stood outside, arms crossed and annoyed that I can’t see inside of the amphitheater, like a social conservative in the 60s 😂
Ah well. I have a funny tale to tell and I can watch the performance anytime on Blu-ray 🎸 👍🏽
@@liberalcannibal2346 did you hear a guitar in the distance?
The Romans filled it over 2.000 years ago. It was built with the idea that Pink Floyd would play there in the future .
Hahaha.
i'm italian ... and i'm from Rome ... i tell you .... yeah PINK FLYD played there ... and history was rewritten by them in that place , absolutely !!!
2023 an still here listening to this MASTERPIECE... PINK FLOYD saved me!
You don’t get much better than this,pure class
Alternate title: David Gilmour challenges the Roman gods to a duel and they don't show up
9:03 he's goin crazy bcz they didn't showed up
lmao
Hahaha
oh, they did, few days ago one father was sending message across the sky to his son to this tune
They knew they had no chance against Gilmour, that’s why they did not come
The fact That we still listen to this song 48 years later after its release makes this band legendary

Lyrics :
Overhead the albatross

And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
Thank you!

Hey stranger, if you read this, an Echo from the past, i'll let you know one thing from your present: You really have excellent taste in music.

K-Pop is something I don't care about and don't even want to listen to.

This timeless masterpiece gives me goosebumps every time. Definitely euphoric
Gilmour's guitar work marvelous. Wright's keyboards weirdly fantastic. Mason's percussion mesmeric. Waters' bass work f***king awesome. What a shame this band disbanded.
I went to Pompeii few days ago, I put my headphones on and played songs from this concert, TDSOTM and Meddle. Amazing experience, I just felt like I was in 1973, didn't even realize the walk lasted almost 4 hours.
I made the same. August of 2009.
Nice...

Ahh headphones yes.!
The thing I find most amazing is that they have plaques on the wall commemorating the great event. The locals remember two times in history...Vesuvius and Pink Floyd.

My pops died last october at the age of 60 from health problems and this was his favorite song.

@Unforgotten Being Hey, leave those kids alone!
I could never truly "get" Floyd, until I watched this on television a few years ago & this track grabbed my attention.
I'd always been into the Syd Barrett era, but this track is a piece of pure beauty, genius & the true essence of art in musical form...
I was there today what a amazing experience they have a exhibition and photos for the band i grew up listening to Floyd
I always wanted to see it
And now I have I was filled with some much emotions
Thinking of my late brother who gave me the gift of pink Floyd
This is probably the greatest thing ever done in rock-and-roll history. Hands down.
I agree
Too bad it's not even rock and roll
Thats a negatory there son.That honour would be Dylan playing electric at the Newport folk festival in 1965.
This isn't rock-and-roll, this is *art.*
"Probably" "hands down"
I don’t care what anyone says this was Pink Floyd’s best song. This is truly the only song in which all four members are completely in sync. It also blends their psychedelic side with their blusey side. And finally in the words of Rick on this song “We found our feet, we figured out we could do this without Syd.” We got Darkside two years later. To put it bluntly Echoes is Pink Floyd
Cheers Geoff
And it fits with 2001 A Space Odyssey too... Look it up!
And yes, it's a real powerhouse. Like Wish You Were Here or Comfortably Numb.
Exactly. Imagine being in the amphitheatre and hearing the reverb, it would be like ghosts of the past.
@@5Cats i agree! Watched it years ago with Echoes and it worked great! You cue the song right when the title comes up for Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite (the final sequence)
Remarkable words "we could do this without Syd". Syd Barrett was the "genius" of Pink Floyd. PF with Syd and PF without - two different bands. "Meddle" (Pompeii concert based mostly on this LP) perhaps was the border between "Syd" and "non Syd" Pink Floyd. It was both psychedelic (like Syd's music) and modern bluesy (like Waters-Gilmour).

Your dad was a fucking G my dude, I'd miss him too. Chin up
Which show/year? My first concert ever was Floyd at county stadium in Milwaukee on September 30, 1987. I was 10 years old and we had field passes so you could walk right up to the stage. Me and my dad!
The bass line is indescribable, phenomenal.
Roger rocks the hell out of this one. Funky and rock at the same time!
@@ElMariachi555 Unfortunately the speakers got more camera shots than he did.
It's a downright shame Roger didn't get more screen time. His baseline carries this track to such an extent, that it's a sacrilege that he is pretty much left out of this video. Still a sensational track, way ahead of its time, but if feel bad for Roger being left out.
@@jehaande I agree !!
But you described it; phenomenal
every minute of this video is a minute worth living.. these are probably among the best minutes one can ever have..
What I love most about Pink Floyd is that they don't care about commercial success they make songs that they want, if they are 20 minutes long, that's because they want to, not because they're thinking about commercial success
In the year 3921 there will be a concert with no audience in the ruins of Washington, DC.
I'm looking at 2021. SGHTF long b4 3921
Change that to 2020
It won’t be as epic as this. No one will ever compare to Floyd.
Maybe Seattle or Portland, Pompei wasn't a so important city in the Roman Empire.
I’d pay good money to witness that...
My neighbors' favorite band is Pink Floyd....whether they like it or not.
@hulaGUNZ. Thanks. That made me laugh a lot.
🙈
best comment ever
😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳😎🥃
Brilliant😀👍
Il momento più importante della storia del rock . Un evento che unisce la musica alla storia . Grazie David, Nick, Rick e Roger avete creato qualcosa di irraggiungibile
This world is billions of years old.
And we have the pleasure to be here together with Pink Floyd.
Thank you David Gilmour for giving us amazing music and remaining humble
Thank you Roger for providing some of the most detailed and meaningful lyrics ever put into a song
Thank you Nick for being able to stick with the band as it’s only constant member, shining through always.
Thank you Rick for taking the harsh words of roger and dealing with being so underrated despite your crucial contributions.
And thank you Syd, for giving Pink Floyd a life-long legacy and giving them a reason to play.
One of the most sublime comments on the internet. Brought a real innocent smile on my face. An emotion I hadn't had in a long time.
Thank You.
Kylie All are equal parts EPIC
rodger had great lyrics on this one !!!
Kylie , this comment is underrated. Bringing tears to my eyes.
Man thank Pink Floyd both past and present. Their music remains and will remain timeless. Already immortalized by innovation they pioneered and many other bands of the time pioneered beautiful era for music. Wonder what our generation of music will have to say about us rn.
Lets not forget Nick Mason absolutely slaying the drums during this performance...
yes and a big yes
Yeah! And he also slays a mean apple pie. My fave has to be when the camera pans across his kit and he slams that crash in your face.
probably one of the most underrated drummers honestly
I’ve never liked the drum mix though. Too much overhead and not enough snare. Meaning: It’s all cymbals and not enough beef.
@@adamwilliamson1151 yeah, kinda pisses you off, don't it?
Should be more of a fuss...just then when he thought about tapping that cymbal again, and didn't...
Yeah, the man's alright...
What makes this video clip even more special is the pure osmosis and fun they have playing together
Listening to Pink Floyd brings calm to our soul. In this chaotic world, it is at the end of the night that I have some peace. Thank you for existing and making my existence a little less painful.
Those Roman ghosts never had it so good
I LOL'd
The Roman ghosts are still listening today and will forever...
Hahahaha!!
I have seen them 7 times in various stages of their maturity...
xactly
The fact that this was filmed with nobody in the audience just makes me adore Pink Floyd even more, it gives it this feeling as if this concert withstands the test of time, creating the illusion that the concert is live to anyone who watches it at any time, as they are the only audience spectating.
It really creates a sense of isolation and creates a focus squarely on the band. Question for you. Have you seen Stop Making Sense, the live Talking Heads movie directed by Jonathan Demme? Though there was an audience in attendance, he made a point of never filming the audience. He wanted the focus to be squarely on the band, not unlike this film. I think stuff like this is fascinating.
Actuality is empty because the authority didn't allowed too many people there, they believed that could mess with the whole historical place
There were 3 people in the ampitheater watching as an audience.
You are all wrong. The concert was for the spirits that haunt Pompeii.
@@charlescarver2623 I do feel that they did the concert for the people that were killed when the volcano erupted. (standing room only so to speak)
I was in Pompeii yesterday, I’m here today, now I’m back 53 years . Time sure has a way of moving you
My mom has a degenerative eye sight condition and she has always yearned for new things to witness and remember before her sight goes before she dies and this entire live concert is something we've watched countless times. When her sight goes and we still listen to this together she will always be happy envisioning all the sights from this beautifully done live concert.
