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

[GilWave]

I don't know about other Countries or regions of the U.S., but here ABitW pt2 is by far the most overplayed. Then probably Money.

That Pompeii concert is great and the sound quality is excellent. I'd also say I really liked the takes of Sorrow and One of These Days too.

Sorrow on the Pulse 5.1 video (LaserDisc and DVD) has one of the fattest, hugest guitar tones ever recorded.

I could easily say that about Another Brick in the Wall (hey teachers, leave those kids alone) and possibly the near entire The Wall album, but Gilmours solo performances of Comfortably Numb will never get old..
YMMV

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.

Interesting. For sure much of this is up to choice/preference but I've been of the view that much of The Wall's popularity stem'd from 2 factors. One was the huge attraction of the song Another Brick Pt 2 lyric's and secondly of course the accompanying video enactments. Maybe it's the fact that I'm of a decade or more older than the massive attraction I viewed from kids of grade school and high school age. For nearly 2 years I could hear kids singing in march step, on the way to and from school, "we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control, hey teacher leave those kids alone". Rogers had written the perfect grade school childrens rebelyon song. LOL 1960-70s PF lead the psychedelic craze of the day, everything they did back then was near genuis.

Pompeii has always resonated with me because there just wasn’t much Floyd footage in those days, I love early Floyd and seeing them at this point in there career has always been mesmerizing to me.

It’s coming to my local imax for 2 nights only on 24 and 27 April...

Same here in Edmonton, although the second date is 3.30pm (a Sunday)

I just wish Gilmore had worn a shirt for the filming.

The sunburn must have been terrible.

I think millions of girls and women would beg to differ.

I’m confused as to if it is actually playing in Victoria because when I look at the website it lists silvercity imax and I click on it for either showing on 24th or 27th April 7pm or 4pm respectively and it doesn’t list that cinema.

That’s what I was looking at too but when you click to get tickets it doesn’t work for that imax.

Well, guess you'll have to ring the cinema and hope to speak to a human.

I still have my LD copy.. but no player. So it's just pretty art at this point. But yeah it was quite something. I remember an afternoon spent where we watched the LD twice back to back, it was that good for the time. I need to carve out some time to watch the Blu Ray that came with the Later Years set. I've sampled it, but haven't really sat down to experience it. Mainly that upscaled video just doesn't look that great blown up on the projection screen which lessens it's appeal some. The new Delicate Sound on the other hand, that looks and sounds great.

Delicate Sound of Thunder was shot on 35 mm film, so it transferred beautifully to 16:9 wide screen/HDTV. With all the money Pink Floyd have, and the fact that the tour that Pulse came from included DSOTM in its entirety, and at Earl's Court in their home base... it seems short-sighted to have shot the show on video. There's not much that can be done visually to improve it when the source material is so grainy and lacking clarity. I guess one could say the producers suffered a momentary lapse of reason.
