WATCH: Pink Floyd share official music video for 'Grantchester Meadows'

Penned and originally performed entirely by Roger Waters, the new video features a special group performance with additional guitars and vocals from David Gilmour and piano from Richard Wright.

The audio was recorded at the BBC in May 1969 with the performance footage shot in San Francisco a year later.

Together with this archive footage, there is present day idyllic imagery of the idyllic Cambridge village Grantchester Meadows directed and edited by Nick Edwards with Hipgnosis’ Aubrey Powell as creative director.

The video has been released to promote the sprawling Pink Floyd boxset ‘The Early Years 1965 – 1972’, which is released on 11th November 2016

Pink Floyd said of the video: “Grantchester Meadows is a Roger Waters song, originally performed solo on the ‘Ummagumma’ album, that celebrates the English countryside, as in other compositions such as ‘Time’.

“This special group performance, taped for the BBC, with acoustic guitars and vocals from Roger Waters and David Gilmour, plus additional piano from Richard Wright and taped songbirds, successfully evokes a summer’s day in Grantchester, a small village close to Cambridge, England.

“Grantchester’s famous former residents include the Edwardian poet Rupert Brooke, who moved there and subsequently wrote a poem of homesickness entitled ‘The Old Vicarage, Grantchester’.”
