Pink Floyd have announced a massive 16-disc box set chronicling material by David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright from 1987 onward.
Pink Floyd The Later Years will include five CDs, six Blu-rays and five DVDs containing remixed albums, previously unreleased audio, concert films, never-before-seen footage and more.
The set follows 2016's Pink Floyd The Early Years 1965-1972, which chronicled the band's career prior to the release of 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon.
A newly remixed version of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, the band’s 1987 LP and first release without Roger Waters, kicks off the set. Gilmour and engineer Andy Jackson helmed the remix, recording new drum tracks with Mason and revisiting Wright’s keyboard parts. The duo also added a fresh coat of paint to Delicate Sound of Thunder, remixing the 1988 live album for inclusion in Pink Floyd The Later Years.
Other highlights include two previously unreleased performances by the band. First up is a 1989 concert in Venice, performed on a floating stage in front of St. Mark’s Square, which caused so much controversy that the city council and mayor were forced to step down. There's also a 1990 set at the Silver Clef Awards in Knebworth, England, which found Pink Floyd topping an all-star bill that included Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Phil Collins and Eric Clapton.
Appearing in both video and audio form is Pink Floyd’s last live performance with Gilmour, Mason and Wright together. The bandmates reunited on May 10, 2007, at the tribute concert for their former bandmate, Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett.
A re-edited version of the Pulse concert movie, along with a previously unreleased film based around 2014’s The Endless River are also featured.
If that’s not enough material for you, the set also boasts music videos, documentary footage and bonus live tracks. Pink Floyd The Later Years will also include reproductions of tour artwork, posters, programs, tour laminates and a 60-page hardback photo book, featuring several never-before-seen images.
