There's experimental and there's Pink Floyd

I watched Pink Floyd's 'Live At Pompeii' DVD a while back and this song just cracked me up!!! Surely people can't take this seriously?  I know 'Pink Floyd are legends blah blah blah' but the first 5 mins of this song is not music!!! 

Richard Wright's piano playing is ridiculous - most of the time playing with his forearm and the palms of his hands, but the best bit is when Roger Waters stops beating the shit out of the symbols (3:02) and walks with purpose over to the huge gong.  He stands next to it, and calculates the best time to introduce the gong (as if it really mattered), before beating the shit out of that too!  Its ludicrous. Its theatrical. Its a lot of noise!
