That's exactly how they wanted to be and still do. Floyd are one of the very few bands that let the music do their talking without ever coming across as pretentious. No showboating, no 'look at how good I am', just 4 introspective guys (at the time) playing great music. Apart from the debut and the gatefold vinyl of Meddle the band didn't even bother putting photos of themselves on albums until AMLOR because they just weren't interested.

Live At Pompeii is ****ing brilliant, why make a live video with thousands of fans when you can just zone out in the ruins of an ancient city and just play music?
