Filmed in 1971 and released the following year, the film (previously titled Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii) captures the band shortly before The Dark Side of the Moon ushered in their most commercially successful phase.
Entitled Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, and boasting Wilson’s new mix, the soundtrack will be reissued on 2 May on CD, vinyl and streaming, including in the Dolby Atmos spatial audio format.
The band’s final album was The Endless River in 2014, though in 2022 Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason released a new song under the Pink Floyd name called Hey, Hey, Rise Up.
“Since 1994, I have searched for the elusive film rushes of Pink Floyd at Pompeii,” said Lana Topham, the band’s director of restoration.
One of the most distinctive concert films in rock history, Pink Floyd at Pompeii, is to be rereleased in cinemas – including in Imax format – and have its first soundtrack release.
