Pink Floyd's 'Live at Pompeii - MCMLIXXII' Get 4K Upgrade

(hennemusic) Pink Floyd will release an 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray edition of the band's legendary 1972 concert film, "Live at Pompeii - MCMLIXXII", on February 27 via Sony Music Vision.

Directed by Adrian Maben, the project captures the very first live concert to take place at Pompeii; set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre, this unique and immersive film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience.

Filmed in October 1971, the performance visuals of the amphitheatre, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance; the project also includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band beginning work on "The Dark Side Of The Moon" at Abbey Road Studios in London, UK.

The newly-restored version has been upgraded from the original 35mm footage with newly remixed Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1 audio by Steven Wilson in Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1, enhancing the film's depth and clarity whilst preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Wilson's aim was to remain faithful to how the band would have sounded in 1971.
