The Story
Here’s the famous live rendition of the concert film directed by Adrian Maben, featuring the band performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. The band performs a typical live set from the era, but there is no audience beyond the basic film crew. The band insisted on playing live, and brought their regular touring gear with them. Their roadie, Peter Watts, suggested that the 8-track recorder would produce a sound comparable to a studio recording. In addition, the natural echo of the amphitheatre provided good acoustics for the recording. One LP pressed on green marbled vinyl, second LP pressed on brown marble vinyl.
