“Delicate Sound of Thunder” coming to theaters
Posted August 20, 2020 by Floydian Slip
Trafalgar Releasing will present Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” concert film in select theaters one night only, Oct. 15.
The film, directed by Wayne Isham, was first released on VHS in June 1989. DVD and Blu-ray versions came 30 years later in 2019.
This will be the first time the Grammy-nominated movie — for “Best Long Form Music Video” — will be shown in theaters.
“Delicate Sound of Thunder” is a document of the band’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour shot in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. Additional footage was recorded two months earlier at the Place d’Armes of the Château de Versailles, France.
Trafalgar gave a similar treatment to Nick Mason‘s “Live at the Roundhouse” this spring, and Roger Waters‘s “Us + Them” in autumn 2019.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 27 at delicatesoundofthunder.com.
Addendum (Aug. 24, 2020): The Pink Floyd Facebook page states “The cinema release of Delicate Sound of Thunder will be postponed. More details to follow.”
