Great PF album from the time before they got so "complex" that there there was no room for impro og free jamming when they played live. Here the band as a whole is playing great and with good impros.

4.5 for the best Echoes rendition of all time

I don't tend to rate live albums, but given this was played to be recorded without even an audience, I don't care. It is canon, and it is a 'studio' album - but recorded outdoors. And what a beast of an album. It is their first truly flawless album, like 70's Floyd took the best of their earlier discog, and transformed it into the first of the legendary 70's Floyd albums. Echoes is a highlight here and offers a much rockier version than on Meddle, definitely jams and 5.0 material. But it is not the only highlight, as 3 is an effing sick avant garde jam with crazy screams (avant garde done right dude), and 6 is a fantastic jam too, perfect take from their earlier discog with those oriental mysterious vibes, and showing that the album just summarises early Floyd in a better form. 4 has awesome drumming in the intro, and is fantastic but does get quite experimental, while 7 is just flat out unnecessary but is thankfully only two minutes long. The album does have a couple too many experimental weird sections than I can live with on a 5.0, but they're never too long. 5 is the only track that clearly sounded better on the studio version, but is still very nicely experimental and cool. The sample/sorta drone intro on 1 is nice too, and a trait we'll find later on in their discog. Just near flawless. 4.8

A great live record, great vintage sound, experimental guitar parts, great sound effects. Vocals are fantastic. You can't help but start singing along to "Echoes"

Echoes throughout the Pompeii Amphitheatre, are the Pink Floyd Experience. Hear them roar.

Live in Pompeii shows Pink Floyd at a time just prior to Dark Side, when they were still performing most of their post-syd material. Apart from one pointless song (Madmoiselle Nobbs.) the rest is of a very good standard. Saucerful of Secrets shows the most improvement, possibly being the best version of the song. The whole album is lively. If you want to get others into the pre-Dark Side material this may be a good choice for you.

Pink is one of the few groups that can live to improve their songs, mystical show, including the place where the concert was held.
