Pink Floyd have announced that they will be launching an archival concert series on YouTube in the coming weeks. The band will be holding our hands through self-isolation with a treasure trove of unseen and rare material from their backcatalogue.
“We’d like to wish you all the best, and hope that you and your families are staying safe and well in these difficult times,” Pink Floyd shared in a statement. “We will continue to post as normal to hopefully give you some interesting and diverting images, music and video to help us all get through this.”
The first film set for release is their 1995 concert film, Pulse, performed at the now-demolished iconic venue of Earls Court during The Division Bell Tour. The film features the first-ever recording of Pink Floyd playing The Dark Side of the Moon in full and features some of the original visuals featured in the 1970s performances of the album.
Pulse will be available to stream on Pink Floyd’s YouTube channel from Friday, April 17th at 12 p.m. EDT.
