Thanks so much for this Prof! I too thought the Early Years version was disappointing so it's good to know someone has put in the time to give this the magic it deserves.
Thanks for these upgrades. I've been a fan of your work for many years now. Your CDs of the Who's 1969 American tour are my favorites and most cherished.
Absolutely fantastic! This is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd recordings and it's like hearing it again for the first time. Many thanks Professor...
beautiful work as always profstoned! hadn't been here in a while, and what a wonderful surprise! just starting to listen this and other gems you've posted. many thanks and best regards! mikeL
Thanks for this. I already had Harvested 010 Rev B so I wasn't expecting much, but you've given me a pleasant surprise. Not only a nicer sounding remaster but also an alternate CWTAE that was completely unknown to me. Wow!
I downloaded this one, after decades of disappointing releases anywhere, and love what you have done. It is simply close to perfect audio. What a great concert. What an audio! Probably will never listen to Meddle and companies again. Thank you very much Prof.
A high watermark performance from the Floyd. The wonderful Richard Wright is excellent throughout.Thank you for your skill in bringing this class recording up to such a standard.Peace & Love from Scotland.
Hello Prof! Got Pompeii on the way as I type - had the DVD for years, wanted a good non-visual version - but wanted to give you a more general word of thanks: you've saved me possibly thousands of your American dollars in first press mono Zappa and Stooges and Blue Cheer and other little goodies as well. Maximum quality for the sources, maximum care put into the rips, maximum kindness in sharing them with the world. Thank you so much! Cheers from Somerset, UK
I've long thought exactly as you regarding this as Floyd's best moment. Thank you for this. While on a cruise-excursion tour of the site, I actually ditched the guided group to run to the amphitheatre. It wasn't on the official itinerary because it was further away and I risked missing the bus back to the ship, which would have left without me, but I simply had to go there.
Thank you. I saw the film in a cinema in South London sometime around 1974/75 and (as a non-committed Floyd Fan at the time) fell in love with the music. I also have been unsatisfied with the available recordings so really appreciate your hard work on this. And appreciate even more your inspirational generosity!
Thank you very much for this. Neonknight just put up the 1981 UK VHS audio with the mono mix on Yeeshkul!, which is quite different in a number of places. I'm guessing it's from the pre-1974 edit but I've never heard it before.
Just skimmed through this ... great EQ choices. You took this source from gratingly bright and borderline unlistenable to what may be my preferred version. Thank you!
Brilliant job. If there is one definitive document of Pink Floyd in this period, it's this one. And your job sorting out the EQ and the phase issues is flawless. Me and my neighbours are going to enjoy this tonight.
Could I have more detailed about the alternate version of Careful With That Axe Eugene, please ? Wasn't this track on the Early Years box set ? It did not sound like an alternate take; rather an alternate mix Did you remix or remaster it ?
This is actually best version of any Pink Floyd made music. The restoration gives Pompeii live the best audio it could have got, even with the best engineers from international companies. Try to listen to the new Dark side of the moon 2023 version, Animals one and then listen to this. This is way way forward to any remake. I can't wait for a Dark side of the moon remastered. In Italy we had a live which is iconic for us like this Pompeii is iconic for any PF fan around the world. It's called De andrè live with PFM. It's worth a remake. It can be found on Qobuz, but it's really far from this quality and vinyls of half of the concert cost around 40€, they're little rare.
I had assumed that Harvested's Rev B would be the best edition of this, but you have outdone yourself yet again. You've tamed the ear-piercing highs and the funky phasing of the Early Years mix, making it the best version that we're likely to ever hear. Thank you!
Thank you for this tremendous upgrade. This is now my go-to version, can hear the love and attention that went into it (not to mention much better presence of each instrument and no hiss). Dabbled in audio restoration (mainly old PF) before and know it can be time consuming to say the least. EXCELLENT job.
Kudos, Prof. You Pink Floyd (and Beatles!) reimaginings are the only way I listen to these collections now. You're doing the Lord's work. Keep it up, it is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks for al the Pink Floyd Posts

ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDeleteFantastic; I listened again just last night. Thanks for all the effort that went into this.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!! Thanks so much Professor!
ReplyDeleteThanks! a great album.

ReplyDeleteThank you, professor. The sound is outstanding and I've been enjoying the heck out of this. Your work is stellar!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Much appreciated. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! Thank you very much! IDK how I stumbled upon this, but I love that sound quality!

ReplyDeleteDammit, already gone.
ReplyDeletethanks so much
ReplyDeleteThe intro of this lp is one of my favorite bits. Looking forward to the PStoned magic on this one :)
ReplyDeletemany thanks!
Thank you, great live show I've never heard before.
ReplyDeleteJust skimmed through this ... great EQ choices. You took this source from gratingly bright and borderline unlistenable to what may be my preferred version. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I remember watching this in the movies in 1973. Yes, I am that old.
ReplyDeleteThis is just outstanding. Many thanks, Prof!
ReplyDeleteBy way of thanks, a perhaps more Floydian cover alternative:

ReplyDeleteThis sounds so great thank you Prof!
ReplyDeleteThanks, prof!
ReplyDeleteGlorious. Thank you, professor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Prof. This is my favorite Pink Floyd performance, and by-far the best version I've had the pleasure of listening to. *chef's kiss*
ReplyDeleteJust amazing.. This is such a treat with a great pair of headphones.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteStumbled in, as they say. Many thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDeleteFab, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you : One of my favourite Floyd performances
ReplyDeleteThis is great sounding! Thank you Professor!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThis release sounds excellent. Thank you for all your hard work!

ReplyDeleteCould I have more detailed about the alternate version of Careful With That Axe Eugene, please ?
ReplyDeleteWasn't this track on the Early Years box set ?
It did not sound like an alternate take; rather an alternate mix
Did you remix or remaster it ?
It's alt take, taken from The Early Years - Vol 6~1972 Obfuscation CD2
DeleteThank you very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing work on this. The apex of early 70s Floyd!
ReplyDeleteEpic! This is by far the best version.
ReplyDeleteA slipcase cover I've made for this amazing work!

Good job!
DeleteWell done! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, meticulous work. It's much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I tinkered with the 2016 mix which is unbearable but wasn't that happy with it. Thank you again for all of the hard work.
ReplyDeleteI was eager to listen to Pompeii yesterday! Thank you.

ReplyDeletea wonderful endorsement...and thanks again to the Professor!!
DeleteThanks Professor! Always a pleasure listening to your work & reading your write-ups.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDeleteIt's really great, thanks a lot. Never suspected that an official release could be improved upon this much.
ReplyDeleteI had assumed that Harvested's Rev B would be the best edition of this, but you have outdone yourself yet again. You've tamed the ear-piercing highs and the funky phasing of the Early Years mix, making it the best version that we're likely to ever hear. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteLegendary. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch for this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! Looking forward to hearing it in advance of the 4K BD coming out in Apr/May of this year.
ReplyDeleteYeah I’m curious what Prof would think / make of that. Are you aware of it? POMPEII MCMLXXII is the title I believe.
DeleteThanks, the early years version sounds awful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I know someone named Eugene, so I'll be sure to tell him not to play with his axe!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
