A clip of the performance of "One Of These Days", which features in Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII – the newly restored version of the 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben – has been shared.

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. Filmed in October 1971, the performance marked the very first live concert to take place at Pompeii, and features "Echoes", "A Saucerful of Secrets", and "One of These Days".

Thevisuals 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.

The film has been meticulously hand restored, frame-by-frame, from the original 35mm cut negative - discovered in five dubiously labelled cans within Pink Floyd's own archives. Led by Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd, the team’s mission was to preserve the integrity of the original picture.

The film was scanned in 4K using advanced techniques to ensure the finest, sharpest detail, with every frame meticulously reviewed and repaired, maintaining a natural and vivid appearance with minimal grain adjustments.

The concert film will be released in select cinemas and IMAX worldwide from 24 April. Tickets are on sale via pinkfloyd.film.
