“It was to be an anti-Woodstock,……above all, there should be the notion of silence, and the images of Pompeii would speak for themselves with the music.

Alone in a stone amphitheater (save for the production crew), the prog-rock gods channel “Echoes,” “Saucerful of Secrets,” “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” and more, captured with slowly circling cameras, totemic framing, and even the occasional split screen.
