Pompeii Floyd Presents: Live at Pompeii

Having sold out venues in the Tri-State Area, Pompeii Floyd began as a recreation of Pink Floyd’s iconic Live at Pompeii concert film from 1972. Often regarded as one of rock’s finest concert movies (even with no audience present), David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright perform ethereal renditions of “Echoes”, “One of These Days”, “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”, and “Saucerful of Secrets”. Later versions of the film also captured the band in the studio recording their timeless The Dark Side of the Moon album.

JT Curtis (“George Harrison” guitar and vocals from the Broadway production of Let it Be – and host of History of Rock’s Pink Floyd Album Reviews) has cited this concert as one of his biggest influences and even incorporated ideas into his own original piece Elements (even traveling to the actual Pompeii amphitheater to film footage). Together with James Preston (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) on bass and vocals, Hector Lopez (Tito Puente) on drums and (Surrogate Band) on keyboards and vocals, they have crafted a true Pink Floyd experience.

As a four-piece, Pompeii Floyd’s area of concentration is the Meddle era, but the band has also paid tribute to the band’s original leader, Syd Barrett, with selections from Piper at the Gates of Dawn. As a six-piece including singer/guitarist Meghan Rose (Xena: Warrior Musical) and saxophonist/keyboardist Colleen Farquhar (All Revved Up), the band delves into the Dark Side of the Moon – Wish You Were Here – Animals era, and of course selections from The Wall. Pompeii Floyd keeps their shows thematic and theatrical, just as the band itself did throughout the 1970’s.
