THE VULCANS: PINK FLOYD LIVE AT POMPEII, DIRECTOR'S CUT -- SCREENCAP GALLERY |

Richard Wright: There is a danger that we could all become slaves of our equipment, and in the past we have been. But what we're trying to do is sort it all out so that we're not. But I agree, it worries me sometimes that we have this much equipment, and you can hide behind it.
Roger Water: If I heard somebody saying that, if we were at a gig it would be quite nice to say "Okay, there you go, you can open the show. There's going to be 4,000 people in here in half an hour. Get up there and knock them out, man." And they'd then say, "Oh, but we don't know the equipment, and we need time to rehearse." And we'd say, "Yeah, well so did we. About four or five years."
Nick Mason: To some extent we're trying to simplify it out a little now, make the logistics of it a little more organized. It has been a bit Keith Robinson, a bit The Mad Scientist laboratory on the stage. We're all from the British Aristocracy with the exception of David Gilmour, and all our mothers are countesses, dukes and duchesses. When David joined the group, you see, when Syd left, we went to David's mother and said, "Look, we'd like your son to join the group. You'll have to front a lot of equipment." And that's how we got all our equipment. I mean, it's very easy, it's just a matter of picking, except they have to have a great deal of money. We don't need anything else, no talent, no musical ability, no musical training. Interviewer: You mentioned lust for money as being one of the main drives. Nick Mason: I was obviously joking. Actually, four less money-minded people would be hard to find.
David Gilmour: It's an imagery we'd like to dispel. I think it was very heavy a few years ago, but it's not so bad since. But I still think that most people think of us as a very drug orientated group. Of course we're not. You can trust us. ************************************************** Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii -- Little Movies Table of Contents:
