The guitarist could have been more free-staïle during the funky part. The only complained would be that the drummer could have been more "free-style" and played some fills here and there (during the funky section)- but ok his "tight" with the whole band - Mason too was almost frozen when playing live with the choir/brass. Now I remember a French school video of Atom Heart Mother (with a segue guitar solo into Time) which was excellent (it was something like 5 years ago someone tried to locate the HD video (it was on youtube - probably it's still there) there was a mise-en-scene (glass of milk, etc.) but not as far as this amphitheatre performance. Mind you, when recently Gilmour joined Ron Geesin in 2008 (?) to play Atom Heart Mother with Caroline Dale, etc. Sure HERE this "cover" band rehearsed a lot of all members as a whole band, which was not the case when the Floyd used to perform it with the choir/brass section (of course there are some pretty good version) The thing is - with the choir and brass ensemble is that it never really worked. Wasn't Pompeii by the way a one-group-show? or even a one-drummer-show? -) had they put Atom Heart Mother in the Pompeii set-list they probably would have performed it alone. Well, I think that the Floyd could have played damned good Atom Heart Mother - but alone - if they recorded it at Pompeii. and well there's a great sense of mise en scene which is not the same as the Floyd in Pompeii (sincerely who could beat Nick Mason's glasses, (look his watch!), drumming on Echoes, David's ray-ban, "stroking" his vibrato during the Echoes pt1 funky part and playing of course shirtless ) Yes it's brilliant! I didn't expect an amphitheatrical performance. I remember though that I grabbed the high-res audio since this was both visually and audio (great performance) amazing.) Here was my comment at the time of their performance of Atom Heart Mother (I don't know if there has been a torrent from their performance- I don't think so. :Ĭurrently I'm grabbing the new concert/video in 1080 (is it a way to check on youtube which versions are in original/native resolution and not upscaled by youtube ?) I remember (a couple years ago ?) that they just performed Atom Heart Mother in (perhaps?) the same amphitheater and this version was amazing.
