so, i only saw the live in Pompeii DVD last night (i know, i should be shot) and the songs that realllly stood out to me were: Careful With That Axe Eugene, A Saucerful of Secrets and Set the controls for the heart of the sun (mainly os i hadnt heard them yet)
 
i was wondering is there any album/live album with Carefull WTAE on it? i was looking for it, and when i clicked into the Ummagumma it said all those 3 are on it, i read the reveiws and it said it was like a double album, live and studio
 
but for some reason my Ummagumma only has the studio version of it, and theres non of those songs on it
 
i also know A Saucerful of Secrets and Set the controls for the heart of the sun are on A Saucerful of Secrets album, but are they in any way like they are preformed on the Pompeii DVD? cos thats pretty much what im looking for
 
so, on the Ummagumma album, would i find Careful With That Axe Eugene, A Saucerful of Secrets and Set the controls for the heart of the sun on it played the same sort'a way that they are preformed on the Pompeii DVD?
 
thanks ya in advance for your help,

All the band tracks on Ummagumma are live performances. The studio version is on "Relics" among others.

The Ummagumma versions of those three songs are very similar to those on the Live at Pompeii DVD. However, in my opinion, the visual factor in the latter enhances the music in a way that is almost unparalleled in the world of rock. The Pompeii version of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" is probably my favourite Pink Floyd track of all time.

so what your saying is, on the offical Ummagumma album every track is live? man thats weird then, the one i got from a friend is the whole ummagumma album (bar the first 4 songs on the real version) studio version

i gots to get the real one then if thats the case
 
and yea i tottally agree with you on the visual aspect to the preformance, i mean, just seeing Waters screaming his heart out on Carefull... was so intense and moving, not to mention all the still photograhpy of the ruins of the pompeii wall art and archtecture, really inspiring moving stuff

I much prefer the version of Careful With That Axe Eugene that's on Ummagumma. Best Floyd song ever second only to One of These Days. And I can't believe Roger Waters is the one who is screaming.

I dislike the screams on "Careful with that Axe, Eugene"! Dead
And, well... the only official albums where you can get these songs are "Saucerful of Secrets", "Relics" & "Live at Pompeii".
But there's ALOT of bootlegs from 1969 to 1973 with all three songs, or atleast one of them on! And in really spacey versions!
If you can get bootlegs, that you'll be in paradise!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
