- A previously unreleased interview from December 1971 of Pink Floyd at Studio Europa Sonor in France, is now available in full on CZcams for the first time. Only a few edits had to be made, consisting of cutting out some of the Live at Pompeii footage due to copyright. Big thanks to Adrian Maben and Cinémathèque Française for this release! You can find the original 52 minute video here: www.cinematheque.fr/henri/fil...
Notes:
In December 1971, Pink Floyd found themselves in the small Europa-Sonore studio in Paris to improve the quality of the multi-track mixing of the film Live at Pompeii, shot by Adrian Maben. With recording engineer Charles B. Raucher, they wanted to overdub music and sound effects on the original soundtrack. David Gilmour and Richard Wright doubled their voices for the song Echoes, part I and II, Roger Waters and Nick Mason remaining in the booth. From the eight tracks recorded at Pompeii, they obtained twenty-four.
This film is a portrait of the group as it was more than a year before the release of the album The Dark Side of the Moon. It bears witness to one of the most fruitful periods in its existence. The recording session was filmed with a Coutant camera on 16mm black and white reversal stock. The rushes were found again by the filmmaker and are now preserved at the Cinémathèque française. They have never been seen except for a ten-minute excerpt used in the director's cut of Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii. Adrian Maben goes back over this experience: "I succeeded in filming this session that bears witness to the extraordinary complicity that existed at the time between all the members of the group. They made fun of me, of journalists' clichés, the public, drugs and themselves. They were the kings of understatement, their dry humour was devastating, destabilizing and merciless. Especially that of Roger Waters. Richard Wright, more discreet, kept a bit apart from the others. Later on, he acquired the nickname 'The Quiet One'. It was a long day. To give themselves strength, they sent the 'roadie', Chris Adamson, out to buy a few dozen oysters and beer at the Brasserie Lorraine. Suddenly, the oyster feast became the epicentre of a hilarious, explosive conversation. They talked and talked: Pompeii, computers replacing musicians (or not), the arrival of David Gilmour after the departure of Syd, oysters crossing national borders, the Berlioz chorale, money and the astute methods they had invented to stop fighting! In short, there was a bit of everything and anything for a half-day of shooting. It must be understood that, at that time, Pink Floyd did not speak to the public, never gave interviews. For them, newspapers were devoid of interest, journalists were old and understood nothing about their music. Publicity was useless because their concerts were always sold out, word of mouth sufficing to fill the halls. This simple, amusing document is unique. The rushes did not require much editing and capture the inner spirit of the four-man band. All things considered, Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii could be shown after Chit Chat With Oysters, one being the counterpart of the other. Is this a film, a reportage or putting a disc into pictures? Forty years later, I still don't know." - Hudba
Congrats to everyone who is watching this - you have now reached the top of the Pink Floyd fandom.
>>"What do you mean....by, fandom???
@grinsomore4000 Well, don't you find it interesting?
@@ViczarrattWhat do you mean interesting?
@SubZero557 well aren't you happy about working with the pink floyd fandom?
who says
Christmas of 93 I was 15..my mom was a single mother and we didn’t have much that year but she was able to buy me Pink Floyd live in Pompeii on vhs tape for me and I watched it religiously..rest in peace mom..❤
This moved me. Warm Regards
Thank you sir..
That's right around when I first saw it. I was 19 in '93 and I still remember watching it at some party and being blown away. Gilmour sitting barefoot in the dirt making wacked out sounds. !!
What a wonderful Mom you had. We’re glad you can treasure the happy memories.
Best mom ever
Rip for all pink floyd fans that didn't make it to watch this mythical footage
With a face like yours......I'd advise you to shut your PIE!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!
Kind words my friend..this is just excellent footage 👍
Huh, you want PF flans to die if they haven't seen this footage? Are you insane 🤔
Watch PF at lunch or die @@floatymcboaty9851 🙃
This footage has been out for some time....wild guess....but maybe longer than you have been alive.
Young David Gilmour was one of the most gorgeous rock stars of all time.
You speak truth!
Rick*
Right!!! And Syd was pretty nice looking too way back when, at the beginning. Gilmour is my dad's age and I still have a crush on him. 😊
more than gorgeous - BEAUTIFUL.
The first thing I said to myself when I saw him here was, "He's beautiful".
rog is so unbelievably stoned
Same with David haha
Roger -as much as he likes downplay PF it in his later years & thanks to found film footage- he only had a 5yr. addiction from '70-75 he'd smoke hashish rolled into tobacco.
Imo, those yrs were prob why the other bandmates could get on with him; 😅 Idk, I wasn't born for another decade.
Hash addicts
@@IntoTheShadows187 I feel the same, dude was unbelievable unbearable after he stopped w/ weed.
That's why I call it psychedelic muzyk!!! We wouldn't have such kind of ARTISTICALLY DEEP Performers. About DRUGS & anything & everything else...let me DROP my wisdom in here...IF YOU HAVE NO MIND YOU CAN GO OUT OF CONTROL, WHEN YOU MIND+WISDOM. Thank GOD!!! (NOT any RELIGIOUS god), that gave us the exclusive OPPORTUNITY to get to CREATE, PLAY or LISTEN & ENJOY the BEAUTY created by these BEINGS!!! I said so...
This is like a weird dream come true! Being a fan my entire life, I would have never expected more footage from the Pompeii era. I am speechless. It makes life feel complete. I am sure I am not alone in feeling this way. - Tim
not alone
I agree. I can die happy
Couldn't have said it better!!!!
Así es, somos muchos que sentimos lo mismo, ahora solo queda que liberen los videos completos de the wall
FTLOG!! Uz people seriously gotta' GET A LIFE!! ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I like to think oysters transcend national barriers" lol
Roger hasn’t changed 😆
@@JTCurtisMusic I mean, he was just pointing out a very simple fact really. Nationality is a human thing, so those oysters were not French, they were just oysters.
"what do you mean by, transcend?
One of the greatest lines ever uttered 😂
Thank you transistors, electricity, and penicillin for bringing us Pink Floyd.❤
😂
Thank you Tubes/Valves, or we won’t have that Gilmour thousands of Strats tone..🎸
Ты что-то умное хотел сказать?
Rick Wright & David Gilmour together created some incredible vocal harmonies back in the day!
I could watch David endlessly.
Why is Roger Waters such a weirdo lol
I bet Sharon, I'm turbo heterosexual but that man is beautiful 😂
One of the most expressive guitarists ever without overplaying
@@CrabbadabbaWhy has he always been such a self important prick is the real question.
I like to Jam with them
@@Crabbadabba He's brilliant
This is truly incredible. I didn't think that any further footage from the Live At Pompeii film would ever surface, given that at some point 400 or 500 cans of footage had been burned in the french film archive.
I agree! It was a wonderful surprise seeing this appear publicly yesterday. This has only ever been shown at a handful of festivals and events Adrian Maben attended since 2013. And now, himself and Cinémathèque Française have kindly made it widely available for free for the fans!
Just the lost One Of These Days film reels to find now! Maybe one day…
The original 35mm amphitheater rushes were incinerated because the production company that financed the film went out of business but since the black and white 16mm stuff was recorded on Adrien Maben's personal camera the reels remained in his possession.
Traduire en français
This is all available on The Extended Director's Cut 'Pompeii' dvd, remastered 2009. Must be the remastered version.
@@markgaizley9994 Only small part of it, not all.
43:12 Chris "I've been mad for f**king years, absolutely years" Adamson certainly deserves his moment on camera.
It's especially great to see more footage of Rick. ❤
Watching this doc ,most people out there would not believe these 4 guys were capable of putting out masterpiece after masterpiece.
Couldn't agree with you more. The Floydian catalogue is unreal!
Good assumption for this new generation......but the real fans have seen(most) of this and more. There is alot to watch. Watch the interviews with Dougie....*insert last name(hope I spelled that right) as far back as Syd living in his house. Epic stuff.
LOL
Well when you think about it, they only lasted about another 6 years, they were pretty fragmented by 1977
Awesome! Thank you!
... Rick has the eyes of an angel ❤
Echoes remains and will remain one of my absolute favorite songs, and I'm not even a hardcore Pink Floyd fan. This one is just magical.
I was about to say that this footage is pure gold... but actually it is an astounding piece of cosmic platinum!!!
As a Floyd fan, thank you so much! You absolutely made my day.
Epico rampalín !
It's been almost 53 years. Just stunning 💖
A million thank yous for uploading… didn’t have unearthed Pompeii footage on my 2024 bingo card but sooo grateful for the find
Si, tienes razón pequeño rampalito.
This is spectacular, I don't know where to begin! The new footage of Gilmour and Wright recording Echoes, that alone makes this so amazing! I suppose it was a given that Waters was in the booth while they were recording it, but I didn't know the extent to which he was producing their performance. This video warrants repeat viewing, no doubt, but the first impression I get is further confirmation that this band has little to no personal chemistry between them, it's truly amazing to think these people would be together for entire decade ahead, in this incarnation, during which they'd record some of the finest music in modern history.
I think there was a huge amount of chemistry. Very English chemistry perhaps.
This a holy grail right here, never thought we'd get more from the Live at Pompeii era, makes me wonder how many other lost footage exists just waiting to be found
"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in...You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But, don't worry. You will someday”. Thank you very much for this amazing doc.
The only thing I can picture while reading this comment is a plastic bag, floating free through the air on a windy day.
@@SamJ_1980 Yes. That's it.
Well... I think there was an electricity in the air ... 🙂
....this footage is historical, in that no one else at this time, realised how ground breaking they were. Equipment was stacking up and new tech taking over. Only these guys ( and the Beatles) had the freedom,money and expertise to use it.
Thank you for this. Wow I was 13 in 1970. This is phenominal to listen/watch PF's creative process. Love their sense of humor.
4:51 the legendary moment of the oysters
I like how all of the members were on a spectrum of serious to not-serious, like on the serious end you had Rick Wright and on the other end you had Roger Waters who was probably so high he probably didnt have a clue what was going on 😂😂
Damn! Roger and David seemed so close and comfortable kicking it together, each adding their musical experience, making it fun. Thank you for completing the 70s with some of rocks all time best music, The Floyd will last forever, and stand the test of time,
❤❤❤❤
Gracias Adrian Maben por haber llevado a cabo tu gran idea de grabar a Pink Floyd tocando en Pompeya y además documentar todo lo relacionado con ell ambiente de lo que ahí se creó y se vivió 🙏🏻
amazing how new stuff keeps turning up after so long.
Roger is such a unique looking . Acting..and creative genius. It's cool to see a few years before dark side...wish..and wall. Just fantastic. David exceptionally brilliant as always
FGS!! "Unique looking"!!?? It's called INBREEDING!!!!!!!!!!
Shame about the anti-semitism, though (and his appalling re-recording of DSOTM).
Yes I’ll agree with the David part.... 😊
the anti semetism is utter horseshit. he's pro-peace, not pro-war. give it a rest. @@wowbaggertheinfinitelyprol6262
@@wowbaggertheinfinitelyprol6262Anti-Zionism is NOT Anti-Semitism.
Magnifique enregistrement du plus grand groupe. Une pépite d'or 🥰
44:16 David Gilmour already writing the lyrics to the first track of The Endless River 43 years before its release! As soon as he said this I had to hit pause and put that album on. I knew I heard this before! That was really cool
They used this audio clip in the song.. Wouldn’t exactly say he was writing anything.
Well spotted! I'm not taking you literally, of course. But good job nonetheless.
@@DanMProductions - Sense of humor are you _OUT THERE??_
I've seen small bits and pieces of this from more isolated CZcams clips--but it's wonderful to have it all together in one comprehensive video. Thank you OaksMA. Very appreciated!
Excellent! thank you! "Echoes" and "Live in Pompeji " Is my favourite Floyd Period. I first saw them live in 1970 where they drew heavily on songs from More, Umma Gumma (live side) and Atom Heart Mother. Apart from the brilliant playing and sound effects (Richard Wright with his azimuth coordinator) it was a joy to see the friendship of Gilmour ynx Waters on stage as they traded jokes etc... Some of that comes through with Waters toking....
Live in Pompeji remains one of the best concert films along with Monterey, Woodstock and Mad Dogs and Englishman, as I like stories to be interwoven with the music. As a pure live concert there's nothing better than AC/DC live at Donington: the incredible energy of both Singer and Angus doesn't let up for one second🎉❤
Massive fan for decades. Floored I came across this.
I was a ‘hippy’ art student in 1972, it’s interesting to remember how pretentious and juvenile we could all be in our youth, and these chaps are no exception……….the music was great though!! A great watch.
Nick Mason is such a nice bloke
Wow, I love Dink Freud. Thought I've seen every obscure footage over the years. Obviously not. Amazing, Rog had a sense of humor and sitting next to Dave. Maybe oysters really do transcend boundaries. Thanks for posting, sure every Floyd nerd fan is geeking out. Just like me, jolly good.
Oh my... David David David David.... oh my. So many bits that weren't complete anywhere else on the internet until this was released on the Cinémathèque Française. Oh my, David..... when I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore.
This is fantastic! And man, were David and Richard good looking!!!
Yes they were... I’m a huge fan of both of them, I started a CZcams channel on learning David Gilmour songs on guitar...
This really made my day I'm so happy, thanks to everyone involved
38:59 As Rick says, Pink Floyd is its own musical genre‼
Ive seen the Pompeii movie numerous times and have always enjoyed this era of Pink Floyd. Great to see this footage that must have been in a vault all these years.
David 😍😍
There was a time, pre internet, when me finding this on VHS would have been like a dream come true. Was collecting a lot of bootlegs, etc…the quality is unreal. Legendary interview were Waters talk about “the great financial collapse”
You could have some gold in your collection for all you know Fabien :) was it just video you were collecting, or audio as well?
Original film master was destroyed I heard
More on vhs than DVD and that's why I need that tape damn it! Thanks for putting this up!
Feels like stumbling upon old family footage. Thank you!!!
NEW "old" Pink Floyd video. LOVE IT 5 PIGS🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
5 different ones?
@@tobywilliams707 Yeah.One for Roger, Dave, Nick, Rick and Syd.
syd left before animals
vijf reten!
The first thing I need to mention is David's dreamy lips. Second, Roger is ripped of his face. But what stands out mostly is that they are the most well spoken and well mannered young men in rock - especially for that time. This doc is awesome, thanks for posting. My fandom is complete. Thank you Pink Floyd for being in our lives.
Ñ
Pink Floyd was a miracle.
Except for the Beatles.. pink floyd are my favourite band. Their music just gets inmy soul and mind and it's so relatable. They ruled the 70s as far as im concerned.👍🏻💯 Bloody brilliant.
Young, thin and long hair. Wonderful to see. Many thanks for the upload.
You can already feel the friction at that time. Very nice film
Yeah, but a lot of that is the personalities, really. I mean, Roger is being incredibly cocky throughout. But you can also see how David is maybe better at superficially hiding when he's annoyed, but can get just as annoyed as Roger. They just deal with it really differently - and in ways that aren't really that compatible.
“You put an “and” in before everything and there isn’t one”
@@Gumbo72203 Yup. Typical pain in the ass picky Virgo male. Lol.
@@Gumbo72203😂😂😂😂 that was great
I think you're right, I found especially interesting the honesty of Richard throughout the film about his worries, about problems in the band. He always seemed to me to be the most crystal clear, in a way
Love this. Great to them all friends in 71'
Oh my God, so much footage I haven't seen
What a wonderfully plaintive voice Rick had, especially when harmonising with DG
This is so good, another missing piece of the puzzle that is live in Pompeii
Considering they didnt really take many drugs, Live at Pompeii is such a joy to watch on LSD :)
I must be dreaming! I mean I've seen parts of this footage before, but this looks like theres A LOT more footage released here! it's almost an hour long! this is awesome!
Roger. say what you like about him. but he made every single one of these songs and albums happen.
No doubt. He was really the supervising producer.
Roger, as always been - an arrogant, screwed up, insufferable prick.
Without the others (especially producers) all he could be is discordant noise.
I love Roger ❤😊🦋
This is the business!! simple as!..a Band just at their peak and their best!...thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Thank you so much for this! Truly made my night stumbling upon this. LOVE all the behind the scenes stuff from this era. Makes them so much more human and their music that much more incredible. Cheers!
Thank you for the uploading and thanks to the cinematique française for this video record. Merci!!
Great job, years ago I saw a snippet of this video, now I watch it again and it's more impressive than before, you're one of the best channels about pink floyd
Many thanks for uploading, great fan of them for many, many years...
merci beaucoup pour ce partage!! fan inconditionnelle des Pink Floyd de puis 1972, je suis heureuse de voir encore des inédits!!! ☺👍
Absolutely unbelievable footage. Fantastic upload. Thank you and Diolch for this to see and witness.

Wooow, thank you so much for sharing this!!!! ❤
Thank you for uploading. The video and audio quality is just amazing. I have an early 1990s version of Live at Pompeii on VHS that has been thoroughly enjoyed over and over. Just a magical time for these young men and their music….you can see the shared joy.
Is that the one with the pink/teal cover? I have that one.
@@Viczarratt yes, I am color vision challenged, but I’d say it’s teal. Purchased 1995.
Fantastic video. I love how at 35:48 David spits directly into that U67 without so much as a shield / pop-filter. 🤣
Thank you for showing us, great film.
HOLY SHIT unreal. I'm going to download this right now. I have the original VHS tape that was released in the mid 80s and the DVD directors cut and now to get this extra will be the psilocybin tea.
Nooo, mi fanno troppo ridere David e Roger, ma quanto sono fottutamente fighi, li amooooo, sono dei geni❤Grazie x post. W Pompei posto meraviglioso!

Fabulous
stoked to see some new footage, I cannot imagine how much unseen footage is around, still.
Love seeing Dave working out the jam from echoes…. Pure funk
U can definitely tell who loves to have a smoke and who doesn’t. Dave and especially Roger man is struggling to pull it together 13:07
Thank you for this immensely!
Thanks for the new old content! Some of your songs have been like keys that open doors in my mind! Without weed and music, I don't think I would still be alive!🎉
weed?
As a fan of Pink Floyd, thank you, thank you!!. This footage was golden!🪙🪙. By the way, David Gilmour was gorgeous!❤❤❤
*This footage is pure gold and ultra rare material of my favorite band.*
Thank you very much for this.
The cut at 26:31 got more adrenaline coursing through me than any music I've heard since the last time I heard that guitar!!
that is why I play Pink Floyd for the adrenaline and for all the years PF and the hairs on my head and arms standing on end sounds l I heard that guitar!! first time back in 84 Gilmore About face tour im hooked hope you got to see them live
@grinsomore4000 Same here. I saw the About Face show in Chicago. (Recently came across the ticket stubs!) Then saw Roger in his Pros and Cons era. Very different approaches!!! I'm not a Roger hater, but I enjoyed Gilmour's show more. His guitar style IS the adrenaline in the music for me. Saw every PF show they put on in Chicago or Milwaukee after that, which was a lot of shows, sometimes two days in a row.
The first Chicago show I saw (Momentary Laspe tour) they played Echoes. Then, as now, the part that I commented on above was the pinnacle of my entire lifetime of Floyd fandom!!! It gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
I could go on & on. :-)
As a bonus, Gilmour turns out to be a really decent human being too.
THANK YOU for this. Delightful from 00:00 to 49:15.
Thank you so much for this!
