Rolling Stone has posted the premiere of a new video for Pink Floyd‘s “Green Is the Colour” from the band’s soundtrack to the 1969 film “More.”
Footage from the video, below, comes from the Pop Deux Festival, Saint-Tropez, France, shot Aug. 8, 1970. Creative director Aubrey “Po” Powell incorporated new footage by Nick Edwards into the piece.
This is the third video tease from “The Early Years” boxset releasing Nov. 11, following new videos for “Grantchester Meadows” and “Childhood’s End.”
Oddly, the audio on this video seems to come from a different source than the film, and Rolling Stone doesn’t specify it. (The “Grantchester Meadows” video also borrowed film and audio from different sources.)
There are multiple versions of “Green Is the Colour” on the upcoming boxset, as well as multiple versions of “The Beginning,” an early title for the song when it was being performed as part of “The Man and The Journey.”
Addendum: Audio for this clip comes from a BBC Radio performance recorded May 12, 1969. The video now also appears on the official Pink Floyd YouTube channel.

The track was remixed by Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins.
“Obscured by Clouds” is the soundtrack to the Barbet Schroeder film “La Vallée.”
Several remixed tracks from the album will appear in the boxset, along with the entire film.

Pink Floyd has released a new video featuring an early performance of “Grantchester Meadows.”
The video includes film of the band’s Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Rick Wright in a 1970 KQED (San Francisco) performance and new nature footage shot by Aubrey “Po” Powell of Hipgnosis, set to audio from a BBC performance recorded May 12, 1969.
