One of the most distinctive concert films in rock history, Pink Floyd at Pompeii, is to be rereleased in cinemas – including in Imax format – and have its first soundtrack release.
Filmed in 1971 and released the following year, the film (previously titled Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii) captures the band shortly before The Dark Side of the Moon ushered in their most commercially successful phase. It will be in cinemas worldwide on 24 April.
Forgoing the usual concert film format, director Adrian Maben decided to have the group perform without an audience, in the eerily deserted Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii: the first band to play there.
