As we originally reported on March 9th, We can now confirm that Pink Floyd‘s hallowed 1990 gig at Knebworth is being released as a full live album on 30th April 2021.

The Knebworth 1990 concert was held to celebrate and feature the winners of the 1990 Silver Clef Awards, with donations benefiting the Nordoff–Robbins music therapy charity.

The event attracted a crowd of 120,000 and saw the likes of Cliff Richard & The Shadows, Tears for Fears, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Ray Cooper, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Status Quo, Phil Collins & Genesis take to the stage.

Pink Floyd rounded out the evening with an hour long performance featuring Clare Torry reprising her vocals on The Great Gig in the Sky, and Candy Dulfer playing saxophone on Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

While the concert, which benefitted the Nordoff Robbins charity, was broadcast on MTV at the time (and later released on DVD), Pink Floyd’s performance at the show is only now being released in full as a stand-alone release on audio formats. A recording of the gig was previously made available to fans as part of the band’s ‘The Later Years’ box set in 2019.

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and recording engineer Andy Jackson have remixed the audio for all seven tracks that were performed on the day, while the live album features new artwork shot by Pink Floyd collaborator Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell (of Hipgnosis) and designed by Peter Curzon of Storm Studios.

The ‘Live At Knebworth 1990’ live album will be released via Warner Music on CD, double vinyl and digital platforms on April 30.

“There is something special about Knebworth,” Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason said in a statement about the show. “We all still have fond memories of playing there in the 70’s, and this show was no different.“

“As a north London boy this was almost a home game, but with the added delight of being the re-assembly of the band after a fairly mega tour that had lasted for well over a year. It was also an opportunity to get the wonderful Candy Dulfer to play – I had been a fan of hers for quite a while, and it was just a shame we didn’t have an opportunity to utilise her for more.“

“We also had our dear friend Michael Kamen guesting. Michael had contributed so much to PF over the previous ten years, it’s great to have something of his playing on the recording.”

A new 10 minute edit of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5 (Live at Knebworth 1990, 2021 Edit)” is now available on Spotify, Amazon Music, Youtube Music and many more streaming services.
