    Love this song!! Back in the late 70’s I’d attend a midnight showing of “Pompeii” and it would get a little “hazy” in the theater during the music. Back then you’d find theaters running midnight movies on Friday nights. They would usually show “Pompeii” or Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains the Same” or “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. The good old days. Lol. I’ll be looking forward to see what others you’re going to release today. 🌈

    Hi Brandon, it was a bit confusing for me when I first heard this title (and others from the same period), I had just discovered Pink Floyd with their album "The Dark Side of the Moon", which made me decide to buy their previous albums. A completely different face of their rather surprising talent which I didn't like at first but which I was able to tame afterwards. Pink Floyd has always been surprising throughout their career, for our pleasure!

    The live at Pompeii on VHS was my introduction to Floyd when I were a teen, I instantly knew that I was hearing something uncomprehendingly good. (Wow, that’s the biggest word I’ve ever written, how completely appropriate!) I’ve already recommended all or anything from this, but no words are big enough to describe this stuff.
    Well done Brandon, it was a joy to see you, still being blown away by a band that’s blown you’re mind over and over. I love the ‘live’ video theme idea. That’s by far the way prefer to take music on CZcams.
    I rate this reaction video “epic platinum “ , yes that’s right, Retro Reactions gets the highest score yet again.

    One of my alltime favorite musical pieces besides Set the controls of the heart of the sun and echoes.

    Great choice ! Especially live from Pompeii. I really dig the early, vintage Floyd before most people knew anything about them. Another one of their spooky tunes as Richard Wright’s organ play makes the song sound as though it came from the 16th Century. But that’s very indicative of early Floyd. Love it !

    The Pompeii version isn't bad (almost any live version of this song is better than the studio recording, I think from the "Relics" album) but I still prefer the version from the live record of the "Ummagumma" album. This version is darker, more sinister and even more intense than the Pompeii version. Although they almost doubled up the tempo, it is even slightly longer than the Pompeii version. Nick's better, David's better, Richard's better, Roger's better. In addition to the wild break in the middle, I particularly like the Arabic-style tones that Richard keeps throwing in on his organ on the "Ummagumma"-version. But well, "Ummagumma" is something for the future. 🙂

      @@retroreactions.... Yes, very unusal for this time. The first two sides are live and the other two studio recordings. On the studio sides each member of the band was responsible for writing one song alone. (ok, Waters had two). The only other album I can think of is Rory Gallagher's "Irish Tour '74". The first three sides are live and the two songs on side four were created from jam sessions in the studio.

      Ummagumma outshines throughtout the live gems, the studio part is a collection of experimental solo works. This is more historically a very interesting escapade of them to understand where there going too, couraged, common music expectation mismatching, playful as hack, but kind of forcing strange 😁

    The opening organ evokes an American band - The Doors(famous for their use of the keys). This being the early 1970s, psychedelic rock was still going(PF did get their start in that genre, after all), no surprise this is psychedelic(or perhaps the related genre " acid " rock).

    Roger's scream still gives me chills every time I hear it, even after all these years! I get scared to death! Just wait until you hear and see "A Saucerful of Secrets", also in the Pompeii version. One of the most impressive things I've ever heard, I'd give TWO epic platinum awards to it, probably even better than the legendary "Echoes" rendition in the same pseudo-concert. Pink Floyd explains chaos and harmony perfectly in just 10 minutes, much better than any philosophy professor in a prestigious university could ever do!

    Growing up, I would play Ummagumma on the family stereo in order to edify others during the process of mastication. The studio version was thereupon cradled, and oft' was the time that I would play the keyboard part of this song on the family piano, to the delight of no one, I might add, but neither to their censure. I noticed just now that Richard improvised much of the live version, and may have skipped entirely the part I was most fond of playing. But I shant fault him for the omission, for who am I to find fault...the one within whom all faults are conjoined? "The Narrow Way" from Ummagumma est tres etrange et magnifique. Like you. And like me. Peace and music!
