Pink Floyd, one of rock’s most successful acts with 250 million albums sold worldwide, has decided to give its trippy, experimental concert film Live in Pompeii, a new makeover. It will be released on Imax format globally on April 24.
These included songs from 1971’s Meddle as well as earlier acid-drenched tunes such as the Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. The film includes interviews with the band as well as a look into the recording process that took place at Abbey Road Studios in London. The results which became the band’s defining album, Dark Side of the Moon.
The film has now been restored to 4K quality from the original negatives which were found in Pink Floyd’s archives.
The film’s soundtrack has also undergone a remastering process by Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame. It will be available to stream as well as be available on compact disc and vinyl formats, including in the Dolby Atmos spatial audio format on May 2. A Blu-Ray and DVD of the film will be released the same day.
It should not be forgotten that the Pink Floyd “brand” has an enormous and devoted following. This prompted Sony Entertainment to handover US$400 million (RM1.78 billion) to the band in 2024, with the deal including rights to Pink Floyd’s back catalogue, name and likeness. The band, however, retained the rights to the songwriting.
This new version of Live in Pompeii will surely add a few more pennies to the band’s coffers with fans eagerly anticipating its release. If fans are willing to pay good money to watch Nick Mason play the drum tracks off Dark Side of the Moon live, then it is a safe bet that this cinematic release will be enjoy a successful run.
