Pink Floyd has fans buzzing with the release of the 4K trailer for their restored 1972 concert film, “Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII.” Set against the backdrop of the mesmerizing ruins of Pompeii, this iconic concert film takes audiences on a visual and auditory journey, capturing the band at a pivotal moment in their career. The film has been painstakingly restored in 4K from the original 35mm negatives, unveiling never-before-seen details and clarity, and features a newly mixed soundtrack by renowned prog rock artist Steven Wilson. This much-anticipated release will be showcased in cinemas, with select screenings in the IMAX format, providing viewers an immersive experience that honors Pink Floyd’s revolutionary spirit.

One of the film's most striking features is its unique setting: the ancient Roman amphitheatre of Pompeii. Unlike typical concert films, this one depicts the band performing without a live audience, amplifying the timeless and ethereal atmosphere of the location. In their rendition of tracks like “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” Pink Floyd exemplifies their mastery of exploring soundscapes and pioneering audio experiences. Their performance, interspersed with scenes of the band at the legendary Abbey Road studios working on The Dark Side of the Moon, offers a rare glimpse into the band's creative process just before their ascendancy to worldwide fame.

The theatrical release is scheduled for April 24, and fans worldwide can look forward to the deluxe treatment that the film receives. The meticulous restoration process has yielded a version that encapsulates the band's raw energy and visionary style. In tandem with the film's release, a soundtrack will be released in multiple formats—film, vinyl, and CD, with a Dolby Atmos mix, enriching the listening experience for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Available from May 2, these additions cater to long-time fans and new converts, offering a comprehensive sensory experience that defines Pink Floyd's exceptional legacy.

The concert film serves to remind us of Pink Floyd's role in pushing the boundaries of music and setting new creative standards. Capturing the essence of a band dynamic in the midst of artistic transformation, Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII is a celebration of a seminal moment in rock history. Available for pre-order now, this restored film and its accompanying soundtrack offer a unique opportunity to rediscover the magic of Pink Floyd, demonstrating why their music continues to enchant and inspire beyond its time.
