Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII
The 2025 release of Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, directed by Adrian Maben, marks a triumphant return of the iconic 1972 concert film, re-mastered in stunning 4K from the original 35mm footage and featuring a newly mixed audio track by Steven Wilson in stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos. Presented by Sony Music Vision and Trafalgar Releasing, the film hit select cinemas and IMAX worldwide starting April 24, 2025, with a companion live album released on May 2, 2025, available for the first time on vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital formats. This definitive version captures Pink Floyd performing in the haunting ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, without an audience, alongside rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band working on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. The restoration, led by Lana Topham, has been lauded for its visual clarity and immersive sound, with critics praising its ability to preserve the band’s experimental brilliance. MOJO Magazine raved, “It sparkles anew... Steven Wilson’s new mix brings fresh life to the soundtrack,” awarding it four stars for its revitalized impact.
