Jahrzehntelang wurde über das Schicksal von Adrian Mabens Pink Floyd-Film spekuliert – gedreht in den Ruinen von Pompeji … plus Paris 1971 und Abbey Road 1972! Nun ist er endlich aufgetaucht, in 4K-Qualität und mit einem von Steven Wilson entstaubten Suppaduppa-Sound.

Die Bildqualität ist hervorragend und man erkennt viele Details des oft gesehenen Filmdokuments. Gerade habe ich mir Set The Controls noch einmal angesehen und zum ersten Mal ist mir der Bretterboden des Pariser Studios aufgefallen. Ein weiteres Beispiel für die Schärfe des Bildes sind die deutlich erkennbaren Kameraleute, die Filmcrew rund um Maben, die in der Arena rund um Pink Floyd ihre Arbeit verrichten.
