Pink Floyd performs hit songs in an ancient Roman amphitheatre in the ruins of Pompeii, Italy.

Neil McCormick

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Fifty-three years on [Pink Floyd at Pompeii] looks utterly magnificent, a glorious record of a group at the height of their powers that will delight every old rocker and should be required viewing for every aspiring young musician.

Rated: 4/5

Financial Times

...this fascinating mish-mash of a film captures [Pink Floyd] at a crucial juncture, moving from psych-rock trailblazers in the European underground to prog superstars in US arenas. The head-trip still works.

Rated: 4/5

Pink Floyd at Pompeii: MCMLXXII gives you a chance to once again experience one of the quirkier points in their long career in the way that it was truly meant to be seen and heard.

If you’re a fan of the group, you need to see this on the big screen.

In part because of its conceptual nature, "Pompeii" remains an almost perfect miniature, at once a time capsule and something out of time entirely.

This is the best concert film (yes, even better than The Last Waltz). It's a visual style and performance space that suits the band's music perfectly, at least in this period of the band's history. An ancient and empty amphitheater that sends echoes far and wide. A packed stadium doesn't exactly click with this spacious music

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
