Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975 is a four disc live album box set by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 18 April 2026 as Pink Floyd's contribution to Record Store Day 2026.
Background and production On 26 April 1975, Pink Floyd performed at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The performance was recorded by Mike "The Mic" Millard, a bootlegger who would often sneak his recording equipment into concerts, and released as an unauthorized bootleg recording. It was later remastered by Steven Wilson, which is generally believed to be the best possible audio documentation of the show. The show was originally included on Wish You Were Here 50, a 2025 box set reissue of Wish You Were Here (1975). It was the most sold Record Store Day 2026 release, beating out Bruno Mars's Collaborations.
Critical reception
In a review for All About Jazz, Doug Collette states that "Throughout, [...] the musicians are precise and purposeful, though as is their wont, not particularly spontaneous to complement sound effects and video display.", he concludes by writing that "at this juncture, some half-a-century-plus after the fact, retrospect allows Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975 to become the means of rediscovering Pink Floyd in the midst of what is arguably the most cogent creative expression of its career."
