Default Question about Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii

I'm watching the Director's Cut DVD of Live at Pompeii and have noticed
something a little odd.

This film was allegedly made in 1972. Why then are the words 'Shine On'
clearly scrawled across the Abbey Road NW8 road sign (incidentally just
200 yards away from my apartment) at the end of Echoes Part I?

Considering that WYWH was not due for another 3 years, is this:
- an uncanny coincidence
- the basis for the WYWH song
- proof that time travel is possible

Thanks,
Schiz

None of the above, probably. The film also includes studio footage
from the DSOTM sessions, while the songs were still in fairly
primitive stages. I would guess that Pink Floyd was one of those
bands who would develop songs over a period of years before releasing
them. Or, someone in the band just liked the phrase. Doesn't seem
that mysterious to me.
