Lost Pink Floyd Documentary Found
press release reports: On November 30th, 1979, the musical genius that was "Pink Floyd" released an album, which would place the band at the pinnacle of the recording industry and make a permanent mark on FM airwaves. The telling of this story happened only 30 times on stages in Los Angeles, New York, Dortmund and London.
During August 1980, cameras captured the only footage of the frenetic operations to build these stages. From the moment the fleet of trucks arrived, until the lights went down and the music began. The project was edited as a behind-the-scenes documentary on the engineering of the concerts, to be presented to the loyal, enthusiastic fans of the band. Perhaps more significant. this performance would be the last for the band with all the original members who recorded the album. In the melee of the breakup. this documentary was archived and forgotten for nearly a quarter century.
Witness now the building of "The Wall" and "The Lost Documentary"
