Pink Floyd‘s 1989 concert film Delicate Sound of Thunder will be shown in theaters worldwide on October 15th.
First released on video in 1989, it was filmed at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as well as in France, during their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. It was nominated for a Grammy for Best Long Form Music Video.
DVD and Blu-ray versions were released in 2019, but this will be the first time it’s shown in theaters.
A statement on the event’s website reads:
In 1987 Pink Floyd had made a triumphant resurgence following the loss of co-founders Roger Waters and Richard Wright. Undaunted, guitarist, singer and composer David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason recorded a new album, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. Its massive success was echoed by the subsequent tour, which played to more than 4.25 million fans worldwide and also saw the return of Richard Wright to the fold. As a celebration of the enduring talent of David, Nick and Richard, supported on tour by 8 other stellar musicians, it was unsurpassed.
Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988, the Grammy Award nominated Delicate Sound Of Thunder now comes to cinemas for the first time.
Tickets go on sale August 27th at DelicateSoundOfThunder.com.
UPDATE: Pink Floyd’s Facebook page states “The cinema release of Delicate Sound of Thunder will be postponed. More details to follow.”
