“One Of These Days” by Pink Floyd is now available in restored footage

Pink Floyd‘s rendition of “One Of These Days” from their 1972 Pompeii concert film, which opens in theaters on April 24 in its completely restored version, has been made available. “Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII” is the new title for the digitally remastered 4K version of the original 35mm film. It is referred to be the definitive version of the production and features improved audio by Steven Wilson. Tickets and cinema information are currently available at www.pinkfloyd.film. The new live album, which will be released on vinyl for the first time, is currently available for pre-order and will arrive on May 2.

The film documents what Pink Floyd did before they became giants of the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy, this unique and immersive film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. It features the vital Echoes, A Saucerful of Secrets and One Of These Days. The breathtaking visuals of the amphitheatre, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band beginning work on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

Ever since my dad brainwashed me as a kid by playing The Dark Side of the Moon on repeat, Pink Floyd has been my favourite band. I first saw Pompeii from a grainy print at a local cinema. It made an incredible impression on me with its untethered and exploratory rock music made by four musicians that seemed to epitomise the notion of intellectual cool. It was an honour to remix the soundtrack to accompany Lana Topham’s incredible restoration of the film, which looks like it could have been filmed yesterday.
