Two weeks ago we visited Italy. My wife and I went to Pompeii. I spent an hour sitting on that hallowed ground in the amphitheater, back to the wall listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was an emotional experience. Tears streamed down my face and I didn't know why (Thank God for sunglasses). I wore that VHS tape out as a kid. I never imagined as a thirteen-year-old that at 51 years old I would be live at Pompeii listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was surreal. A top 5 moment in my life.

David Jon Gilmour. Without his freakish talent playing guitar, I do not know howw I would have made it thru a 6 year prison sentence. I listened daily for 6 yrs straight, and David and the rest of this magical band, THANKYOU FOR YOUR MUSICAL THERAPY SESSIONS. Better than any doctors or psychs Ive ever wasted my time seeing. Pink Floyd forever, and ever. NEVER EVER WILL THEY BE SURPASSED AS GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY. I DONT CARE WHAT ANY1 SAYS, COS THOUSANDS WILL AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. LONG LIVE THE FLOYD.

The sound quality of this - in 1971! - is so superb that for me it's genuinely difficult to believe that it's not only live but in the open air. This could have been in a studio. Having read up on it, I found this:
"Their roadie, Peter Watts, suggested that the 8-track recorder would produce a sound comparable to a studio recording. In addition, the natural echo of the amphitheatre provided good acoustics for the recording."
Unbelievable.

The vocals coming back in at 19:00 is probably my favorite music moment of all time
