LIVE AT POMPEII (THE DIRECTOR'S CUT)

Ah, the "better" one from these two versions. Even lacking as much of emotional memories, as first one, it's far better in terms of technical quality. And OK, lot of these memories are here too, it's just that it's not VHS, that's all. Silly reason, huh ? I know, so this is why I'm just saying it, not considering as important for this review.

There's something in "fuxi's" reviews that's strikingly truthful. When I start to enjoy them playing these songs (from DSotM), it suddenly stops, or is interrupted by talking, or other darn things to annoy the listener/viewer), fun stops early. Why for Pink Floyd's sake, why ? Anyway, interview isn't the reason why we love this, it's the legendary gig with audience of 10 people (as I like to say), all of them sound engineers (even it's probably not truth). This is beautiful. Not as extreme as my favourite The Wall, in fact it their music can be not considered as prog by some (!!! - it's hard to understand opinion), it's playful. You can see that they're having fun and it's affecting also us, listeners, viewers, whatever you're doing at the moment (are you really concentrated on both audio and video all the time ? aren't you blinking ? ha, I got you). After all, choice of this exact location is unique in prog world. Let's say, what about Mandalaband's (first album) gig on the top of Mount Everest ? Or French prog group Nemo on the bottom of Mariana Trench. Or Los Jaivas dvd with locations from Macchu Picchu, isn't it just beautiful ? Or The Beatles in France, hehe. Location matters, when doing these "special" projects and images, sculptures, under-weight Waters (drugs anybody, but he's fuc_in visionary after all), zealous Nick Mason (do you remember, or will you be able to find the moment when he loses his stick and till gets new one he plays drums with one stick and his bare hand (!) ?

5(+), you know why.
