ECHOES OF POMPEII


Indulge me. It's raining out, a heavy rain all across the Pacific Northwest, the kind of downpour that looks like it may never stop. Something moody is in order. Echoes... Pink Floyd at Pompeii, 1971. A Roman wilderness of pain. Make some tea and have a listen...


By the way, this little fresco of the Sacrifice of Iphigenia at Aulis is from the House of the Vettii in Pompeii.

Nice Pink Floyd peformance -- but only the first half! BL

That is a great concert -- and what a strange setting. Sorry for only showing the first chunk, but I figured 11 and a half minutes was good for most, and the rest could find the second half is here:
