Pink Floyd’s 1971 concert in the Pompeii Amphitheater
Back in 1971, the world’s greatest rock band, Pink Floyd, chose the amphitheater of Pompeii to perform in the historic film-concert. It was the band’s director Marben who, after visiting the archaeological site of Pompeii, was so impressed that he had the idea of having the band perform in the amphitheater. He imagined his band playing in the twilight of the excavations, amid the ruins and centuries of history.
The deep connection the band established with the ancient city continued even years later. In fact, last year the band’s historic drummer, Nick Mason, decided to return to Pompeii to perform three of the most important songs played by Pink Floyd back in 1971.
