Warner Music (Sony Music outside Europe) has announced the release of 'Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990'.
The set, which was previously unreleased until it formed part of the group's 2019 'The Later Years' box set, will be available in standalone form for the first time on CD, double vinyl and digital platforms on April 30.
As the title suggests, it captures the legendary band headlining the Silver Clef Award Winners concert within the grounds of Knebworth House, Hertfordshire in 1990.
Other acts on the bill that day include Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Genesis, Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant with Jimmy Page, Cliff Richard, Eric Clapton and Tears For Fears. Pink Floyd drummer, Nick Mason reminisced:
"There is something special about Knebworth. We all still have fond memories of playing there in the 70's, and this show was no different. As a North London boy this was almost a home game, but with the added delight of being the re-assembly of the band after a fairly mega tour that had lasted for well over a year. It was also an opportunity to get the wonderful Candy Dulfer to play - I had been a fan of hers for quite a while, and it was just a shame we didn’t have an opportunity to utilise her for more. We also had our dear friend Michael Kamen guesting. Michael had contributed so much to PF over the previous ten years, it’s great to have something of his playing on the recording."
