For the first time, a 1975 vintage Pink Floyd concert footage surfaces online. The footage is from a performance in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada from their North American Tour. The concert was filmed by Jim Kelly on Super 8, which you can see in the link at the bottom. The video is a bit jumpy because Super 8 cartridges could only record 3 minutes of footage. Even though the concert footage jumps it's still almost 28 minutes of a Pink Floyd concert. Floyd fans understand that this is the closest they're going to get to a Pink Floyd reunion because Roger Waters and David Gilmour despise each other. Nick Mason seems to be the go between for the 2 former bandmates.

Pink Floyd footage surfacing online fits into their plans for 2023 because it's a big year for the band. This year Dark Side of the Moon turns 50 years old. They've remastered the Dark Side Album and released it as a 50th anniversary box set. Also in celebration they created a Dark Side of the Moon 50th Anniversary Photobook.
