Pink Floyd has shared a video of their ‘One Of These Days’ performance from the upcoming Pompeii – MCMLXXII concert film, which is set to be released worldwide later this month.
The new 4K restoration of the classic 1972 film Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII – which uses the original 35mm footage with audio newly mixed by Steven Wilson – is set debut in cinemas worldwide from April 24. Tickets are on sale now – find yours here.
Now, a clip of the iconic performance of ‘One Of These Days’ has been revealed. It features footage from the 4K restoration – giving audiences the most crystal-clear glimpse into the band’s historic performance in the ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy.
‘One Of These Days’ is the opening track from Pink Floyd’s 1971 album ‘Meddle’, and was written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason. Watch the clip below.
The original film was directed by Adrian Maben and it sees the legendary band performing in the amphitheatre in October 1971, with no audience in attendance beyond the basic film crew. It features the band playing a range of music from their career up to that point, including ‘Echoes’ and ‘Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’.
It will also include rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band beginning work on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. The cinema release is to be accompanied by a live album, released by Legacy Recordings on May 2.
Floyd drummer Nick Mason has said: “Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii is a rare and unique document of the band performing live in the period prior to ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.”
In other Pink Floyd news, a judge recently made a ruling in the ongoing case between bassist Roger Waters and investigative journalist John Ware. The latter, who produced the documentary film The Dark Side Of Roger Waters, sued Waters for defamation after being labelled a “lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece” by the musician.
