Notes:
The original version of this show saw only limited distribution. We were
waiting to see if Adrian Maben would be successful in releasing this show on
DVD (see below). Now that this appears to be highly unlikely. We are going
forward with the general release of this title.

The audio quality is excellent. Ron grabbed the audio direct from his
Laserdisc.

But this is a rev A release. It is not exactly the same as the previous
version. Ron did a little tinkering, then I did a little deglitching, and then
Marc-Oliver helped with the speed correction.

I was surprised that a Laserdisc recording would need speed correction. But
according to Marc-Olivier, PAL to NTSC conversion screwups are quite normal.

In keeping with Harvested's mission statement of producing 'Live' events only,
all inbetween track chatter and DSotM studio tidbits have been removed. You
won't hear Nick asking for his pie on this one :-) Just pure uninterrupted
music:

Track 1: Intro
Track 2: Echoes part 1
Track 3: Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Track 4: A Saucerful of Secrets
Track 5: One of These Days I'm going to Cut You into Little Pieces
Track 6: Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Track 7: Mademoiselle Knobs
Track 8: Echoes part 2

Enjoy the show.

Regarding a potential Pompeii DVD release:

If memory serves me right, the Floyd and their label were 100% 'let's do it' for
a Pompeii DVD release. I believe Adrian Maben was contacted to resurrect the
beast.

The last thing I remember hearing about the project was that Adrian reported
that the Pompeii masters were lost or so badly degraded that making a DVD was a
'no can do' :-(

Which is too bad. I was really hoping that during the DVD preparation work that
copies of the masters would leak out.

I mean, the Pompeii we all know and love is a Frankenshow!!!

I wanted to see each days performance from each camera angle. Plus all the
interview footage that never made it past the cutting room floor. Maben must
have exposed 200+ hours of film in producing this picture. All we get to see is
that measly 1%. Can't someone unlock the vault and bring us the other 99%?
