Steven Wilson Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii - Steven Wilson mix - May 2nd 2025

The sound in every cinema I went the last 10 years is not as good as in my place.
I wait for the release on disc and play it on my big screen.

That and we are not very peoply anyway

Yeah that one too, and yeah, a fair bit of the The Wall (like...all of side 4) stopped being interesting to me years ago.

The Wall was never a favorite record of mine. Like it fine, but not the top Pink Floyd choices for me. And we have a serious collection over the years. Definitely a couple of fantastic songs on it. Comfortably Numb for sure.
Huge Pink Floyd fans since... Meddle. Very looking forward to the latest version of Pompeiii. WILSON!!

I’ve had this for about 20 years. Watched it yesterday. It’s okay. A lot of it (imo) is psychedelic noise. My son has tickets for us to see it in imax on 4/27.

Great! So not only do I need to buy this, it's gonna get my hopes up that Gilmour'll reconsider SW's offer to remix his first solo album.

Surely this is part of the Sony sale (first thing to start to recoup their $400m). I don’t think the solo stuff came into that deal

 

[wilberforce55]

Yup. And i think this was the last performance allowed there.

There were signs saying Elton John was performing after Gilmour in 2016. Don’t know if that happened

Edit. Yep. https://pompeiisites.org/en/events/elton-john/

That DVD is not the best representation of the concert. Lame edits and lossy 2 channel sound.

It wasn't short sighted. It was a live broadcast, so it could not have been filmed.

Of course they *could* have, they chose not to - for all the reasons mentioned - and they are valid reasons. But they could have shot on film if they wanted to - they did a 14-night residency at Earls Court, they had the cameras blocked out and crew in place - they could have shot another night on film for the eventual theatrical and DVD release.

Of course, they could have done many unreasonable things that didn't make sense at the time.
