Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii

The DVD contains a new "director's cut", as well the original concert performance. I don't know what has been added to the movie as I have not seen the original movie.

The picture quality is very good (I have the european PAL version), and the sound is OK. This recording would definitely not benefit from SACD treatment, so you can safely get the DVD. It's an essential document of pop history, and very enjoyable.

The new directors cut has had new scenes cut in that that are visual(e.g psychedelic effects) and are not of the band playing,there is no new material filmed or otherwise of Pink Floyd on this disc.
The original version is on the disc and according to the critics is preferable to the so-called new version.
Perhaps the print is better.
Stil no idea what Rx8man means about WYWH.

Just to make it very clear: the original movie is not on the DVD.

The disc contains the new director's cut and, in a different chapter, the music scenes filmed in the Pompeji Auditorium, without all the other footage (studio scenes, scenery).

If you want the original movie, you must get the VHS tape

As far as music only,how much better can "wish you were here" sound??
The JVC XRCD is remarkable and the original vinyl release and digital remasters are not far behind the JVC.
How far can you go? :~)
Hi Ben!

Ben, Rx8man refers to the "Dark side of the moon" DVD, the recent documentary which contains all the studio footage that is shown in the Pompeji video plus new interviews etc
