BTW, I just finished my Final Cut review. I think I'll submit it tomorrow if I can. So be on the look-out and please read it!

[QUOTE=G_Mac07;13499328]For the Aussies in the thread, the ticket prices aren't as bad for Roger Waters as initially thought. Platinum tickets are $350, but there are 4 different kinds of ticket, ranging in price down to $100.[/QUOTE]

Oh thank god, I think I'll go now.



Ive been thinking of getting Live At Pompeii, but isnt it black and white?

It isn't black and white, no. Some of the interviews are, but the feature isn't.

From the footage I've seen it isn't. I think the interviews are though. Then again I've only seen snippets!

Someone who's seen it could set the record straight.

edit: beat me :(

You should definately get it, pending that you already have Pulse. Pulse owns.

I don't have Pulse yet :(

I got Pulse but I still wanna get LAP. The interviews sound really interesting :smoke:

The Pulse extras were a little disappointing for me.

Library doesn't have it eh?

large queues :-(

I don't have Pulse but Ive seen it and didnt really enjoy all those extra musicians nor the fact Roger wasnt there. I think Ill just get Pompeii.

Is the Pompeii one actually live or studio cuts over the top? Because theres no actual audience is there?

I'm pretty sure it's live. If not, Nick Mason must play exactly the same fills every time, which I doubt in his early days. There's quite some improvisation going on on the DVD, which is hard to overdub I think. This improvisation is something I miss in later day Pink Floyd. I loved the jamming they used to do before they got real famous and all.

I showed a bit from LAP in my Esthetics-class last year, when we were talking about camera stances and filming methods. There's some original filming on LAP, I think, even when you don't look at the fact that the concept itself is already highly original.

It is live, though they had a LOT of control over the recording and production.

the wall is something that you have to adjust to. to a lot of people, it seems watered down with depression at first listen. but give it time. it will grow on you

The interviews and "Echoes" were the best parts of LAP.

The camera work is also really cool.

I think I may have seen clips on RAGE, (sorta like VH1 and MTV to you americans). Are they standing in some ruins sorta in the middle of nowhere?

Yes.

They're in Pompeii, a city in Italy south of Rome.

Ever heard of Mount Vesuvius? The giant volcano? It erupted a long time ago and wiped Pompeii off the face of the earth. Eventually people found it and dug it up.

Pink Floyd is playing in the coliseum where they used to have Gladiator games.

It makes everything that much more epic. What an awesome idea.

Damn I need Pulse. I can't say I was incredibly impressed by Live in Pompeii, but maybe I should just watch it more.

It's almost more an actual film than a concert movie.

But if you want a concert film, Pulse is the way to go. They play Dark Side of the Moon in full, plus a very good collection of other songs.

Only downside is no Roger. The guy playing bass for that concert is kind of goofy. He's good, but he just seems goofy.

I like what Guy Pratt does with a lot of the bass parts. The only song that suffers without Roger in my eyes is ABitW pt.2

He's a good bass player, dont get me wrong. He funks up a lot of the bass parts to make them a little more interesting. But then again, Roger does that when he plays live, also.

I think any song off of The Wall especially suffers without Roger on stage. The Wall was his album, so its tough to play it without him.

True, I love everything about Comfortably Numb on Pulse except for what they do with the Roger's parts.

His basses are goofy too. I cringe when he pulls out that headless one.

Oh crap I really should have remembered that lol. And I used to do ancient history and covered this in detail. I knew Pompeii was significant. :p

Ugh, I know what ya mean. Gilmour messed around with a headless guitar during his solo stuff in the 80's. Such an ugly instrument. Not nearly as ugly as mullet saxophone boy that tries to play guitar in the Learning to Fly music video though.

mullet man!

Guy Pratt is a much better bassist than Roger. But Pulse definitely misses Roger too.

where can i find this live at pompeii?
