The Daily Mirror reports Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has unearthed never-before-seen film of the band.
He discovered the black and white footage while researching archival material to be used for exhibitions about the band.
It shows band members Mason, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Syd Barrett backstage at some early gigs in the late-’60s
“There are some unseen bits and pieces,” Mason explains. “We have got a bit of backstage black and white footage — 8mm film — that we took ourselves.”
No word on when or how the footage might be made public.

Mark Fisher, who designed elaborate stages for Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, U2 and many others, left behind an estate valued at £7,132,622.
Fisher, who died last year on June 25, designed the original show of “The Wall” in 1980, as well as Roger Waters‘ performance of the show in Berlin, Germany, in 1990 and its most recent world tour in 2010-13.
He also designed for Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1987-89 and The Division Bell shows of ’94.
The £7 million figure was released by the Probate Office in London. The net amount after outstanding debt was settled was £6,835,331, the equivalent of $11.3 million.

In addition to honoring Roger, officials will erect a monument to his father, inscribed with the lyrics to Roger’s “Two Suns in the Sunset” from Pink Floyd’s “The Final Cut” (1983).
Waters received details of his father’s death only last autumn, when WWII vet Harry Shindler discovered a War Diary describing the day’s events. (See “New documents reveal final day of Roger Water’s father“)
