Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii

In 2025 a re-release of the film was shown in theatres including extra behind-the-scenes footage of the band working on The Dark Side Of The Moon at Abbey Road Studios. Bringing the runtime to 85 min. British guitarist and producer Steven Wilson has taken care of a new remix of the original audio recordings, and the film footage has been re-scanned in 4K from the 35mm negative.
