When Mount Vesuvius rained holy hell upon Pompeii on August 24 in the year 79 Ce—the day after Vulcania, the festival of the Roman god of fire and volcanoes, no less—it created one of the great disasters of the Roman Empire, wiping out a city founded seven hundred years earlier.
Fast-forward 1,893 years. Excavations of the old city had begun in the 16th century and eventually turned the region into a tourist hotspot, which is what attracted film director Adrian Maben in 1971. He was looking for his lost passport when he wandered back to the deserted amphitheatre and was fascinated by its ancient majesty and fantastic acoustics. He’d been looking for an unconventional place to stage some kind of Pink Floyd event.
Wouldn’t this be a brilliant spot to shoot a concert film?...
