For the First Time, Pink Floyd Are Set to Officially Release their 1975 Los Angeles Sports Arena Concert

During its famed Wish You Were Here tour in 1975, among others, Pink Floyd held a concert in the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Now, the recording of that concert is set to be released on vinyl and CD for the very first time.

Pink Floyd Live From The Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975 will be available from Sony Music as a special four LP clear vinyl version, which will be released exclusively for Record Store Day on 18th April, followed by a 2-CD edition on April 24, 2026.

The recording has been meticulously restored and remastered by Steven Wilson from tapes that originated from the legendary late bootlegger Mike “Mike the Mic” Millard, whose tapes from concerts across Los Angeles in the 1970s became renowned for their surprisingly clear sound quality.

The concert opens with both “Raving and Drooling” and “You’ve Got To Be Crazy”, both of which evolved into “Sheep” and “Dogs”, which would feature on their 1977’s tenth album, Animals_,_ before the epic “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” kicks in, both parts separated by “Have A Cigar”, also from Wish You Were Here, before the whole of “The Dark Side Of The Moon” is played, followed by an encore of “Echoes”.
