Pink Floyd in 4K: cinema show and exhibition in the pompei amphitheater!

For the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary concerts in music history, which took place in the ruins of Pompeii in 1971, a new edition of the iconic shots of Pink Floyd was published. The cinematic performance, which was released by director Adrian Maben in 1972, will now be released on CD and DVD on May 2 in restored 4K quality as well as 5.1 surround and dolby atmos format. For fans of the Prog-Rock classic, the recordings that contain hits such as "Echoes" and "CAREFUL with that axe, Eugene" are an absolute highlight.

A big cinema show will also take place on April 24, which discussed the exciting days from October 4 to 7, 1971. This concert was not only a musical event, but also left a lasting impression in music history and was shown in many schools during music lessons. According to OE24 this new is a must for every fan of the band.

The exhibition in Pompeii

In order to further appreciate the historical meaning of Pink Floyd in Pompeii, the permanent exhibition "Pink Floyd. Live at Pompeii. The Exhibition by Adrian Maben" was opened in the pompei amphitheater. This includes more than 250 photos, including impressive original recordings by Jaques Boumandill, which document the unforgettable moments of the concert. The underground passages of the amphitheater, which were previously inaccessible to the public, have been reopened and now offer insights into the history of the place, which was also used for the film "The Last Days of Pompeii".

The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to go through two different areas: the first area focuses on the iconic year 1971, while the second focuses on the modern rebirth of Pompeii. Music from Pink Floyd accompanies the guests and creates an unmistakable atmosphere. This exhibition is also supported by various organizations, including Edizioni Flavius ​​and the Bartolo Longo II Millennio Foundation, as with pompeiisites mentioned.

music and history

The cultural effect of music extends far beyond the framework of concerts and exhibitions. The legendary concert by Bruce Springsteen on the Berlin-Weißensee cycle railway, which attracted over 300,000 people, not only helped to cultivate the GDR, but could also have had an impact on the fall of the Berlin Wall. These parallels show how music can be a catalyst for social change, as in the exhibition "Hits, Hymnen, Sound of Contemporary History" in House of History

With the publication of the restored pictures of Pink Floyd and the current exhibitions, the legacy of the band will continue to be kept alive and made tangible for new generations. The combination of historical music and visual art not only tells stories, but also connects people across time and space.
