Live at Pompeii
Live at Pompeii is a live album by Pink Floyd, released in 1990 on Hip-O Records. It sits in the band's catalogue as a live release rather than one of their thirteen studio albums, and it falls between the late-1980s album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell in 1994.
For anyone tracing the group's progressive and psychedelic rock side, it offers a different way into a band best known for studio records such as Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Those albums show the band at work in the studio, while this one presents their music in a live setting, which makes it a useful companion to the main run of records.
