In the run up to Pink Floyd at Pompeii appearing in cinemas in 4K and being on home release video, not to mention a new soundtrack, here is the Official music video for One Of These Days. This is a very energetic performance and features a lot of Nick Mason on drums. As a drummer myself, I approve of this footage. Drummers often don’t get the credit they deserve. Enjoy.

About Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii
Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii is a legendary concert film that captures the band at their creative peak, performing in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. Directed by Adrian Maben, the film was shot in October 1971 and released in 1972. What makes this performance unique is the absence of a live audience, allowing the music and the amphitheatre’s eerie atmosphere to take center stage.
The film features a selection of Pink Floyd’s early works, including “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” These performances showcase the band’s experimental sound and their ability to create immersive, otherworldly musical landscapes. The amphitheatre’s natural acoustics and the visual contrast of the ancient ruins with the band’s futuristic sound add a timeless quality to the recording.
In addition to the live performances, the film includes behind-the-scenes footage of the band working on their iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. This glimpse into their creative process provides fans with a deeper understanding of their artistry and the meticulous effort that went into crafting their music.
The film has been celebrated for its innovative approach to concert filmmaking. Maben’s decision to film without an audience was a deliberate move to focus entirely on the music and the setting, creating an “anti-Woodstock” experience. The result is a visually stunning and sonically captivating piece that has inspired countless musicians and filmmakers.
Over the years, Live at Pompeii has been re-released in various formats, including a forthcoming digitally remastered 4K version with enhanced audio. This restoration ensures that new generations of fans can experience the magic of Pink Floyd’s performance in all its glory. Enjoy the video of One of These Days (Official Music Video).
