News: Pink Floyd/LiveFrom Los Angeles Sports Arena Soon To Come Out

Pink Floyd’s 1975 concert at the Los Angeles Sports Arena was first released on blu-ray last year on the Wish You Were Here 50th anniversary reissue. It's soon to come out on vinyl, via the previously announced 4LP set for Record Store Day but is now confirmed as a 2CD set in late April.

The performance was never professionally recorded so the origins of this recording is via the 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. To conceal his recording equipment from venue security, Millard would often pretend to be disabled and arrive to concerts in a wheelchair.

The performance opened with early versions of songs initially titled as "Raving and Drooling" and "You've Got To Be Crazy", which later evolved into "Sheep" and "Dogs" which ended up on Animals.  "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in its two parts bookended another new composition, "Have A Cigar". Following these new compositions, the band performed The Dark Side of The Moon in full, with "Echoes" as an encore.

Meticulously restored and remastered by Steven Wilson, this is as good as it’s going to get in terms of a live recording of Pink Floyd’s 1975 tour.

The 4LP clear vinyl edition is released on Record Store Day on 18 April, and the 2CD edition is released six days later on 24 April 2026.
