With the release of Roger Waters The Wall film about the 2010-2013 tour coming up, Roger’s official website has undergone a makeover to spruce it up a little. It is very much like a blogging site with lots of links to Facebook posts from Roger and Vimeo videos about topics Roger is interested in. The Wall Film will be getting aired at the Toronto International Film Festival from 6th September 2014 and I imagine it will be going to DVD and Blu-Ray thereafter. Who knows, it may get into some cinema’s too so watch this space. Come to think about it, watching parts of the concerts in the cinema with their nice surround sound could be a great experience. I hope it goes to cinema and not straight to DVD! New output from Pink Floyd has been rather thin of late and isn’t it great that there are loads of things...
Acoustic Sounds has shared some photos of Pink Floyd’s new studio album The Endless River they are working on for release in October 2014. Acoustic Sounds were chosen to handle the release of the double vinyl of the album and have received the master copies as you can see below from The Mastering Lab. There are of course four sides to a double vinyl recording and all four of these were sent to Acoustic Sounds at Quality Record Pressings, straight from Doug Sax and crew at The Mastering Lab northwest of Los Angeles. The follow-up to 1994’s ‘The Division Bell,’ ‘The Endless River’ marks the 15th studio album by the famed British band. Scheduled to release in October, ‘The Endless River’ finds David Gilmour and Nick Mason completing work on sessions with the late keyboardist and founding member Rick Wright. This is the third album by the Gilmour-helmed Pink Floyd after Roger...
Roger Waters The Wall – A Film by Roger Waters and Sean Evans will be premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival commencing 6th September 2014. The much anticipated release is 133 minutes long and will receive 5 screenings at the festival, with two reserved for industry professionals only. There were several of Roger Waters The Wall Live shows recorded, with other re-enactments from Roger’s family life and other events recorded by film crews for the movie. As further information becomes available about the film, including when it goes to DVD/Blu-ray, it shall be shared on this website. This film release will likely be very popular indeed with people all over the world discussing the release for some time since the first shows were recorded years ago on The Wall Tour between September 2010 and September 2013. Promotional Words About The Film Fans of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd’s monumental The...
After 8 years there will now finally be another Neptune Pink Floyd live show! Taking place at The Hope, Brighton, England on Saturday October 11th 2014 the event will see the return of a number of the acts that performed at the shows in Brighton and Glasgow as well as appearing on the NPF tribute CD’s many years ago! Get Your Band Involved We would also like to invite new members to the NPF community to take part and also those that couldn’t make it last time around so let us know your interest. With this show we have returned to the grassroots of the very first NPF show back in 2005 by opting for a smaller venue but, this time the show has a theme! To reflect the more intimate settings the show will focus on the early years of Pink Floyd featuring Syd Barrett and also include Syd’s solo...
The official Pink Floyd Exhibition Their Mortal Remains, which was due to start on 18th September 2014, has been postponed due to production delays. This will no doubt cause much disruption to many fans who have made plans to travel to Italy from around the world and have booked flights and hotels etcetera. According to the Italian promoters of the event Evolve Devolve, “building the complex Exhibition to the required specification has made it impossible to make the opening date”. Tickets have been taken off sale for the time being whilst new dates are announced. Alternatively, fans can have their tickets refunded at the point of purchase. Please stay tuned for when the new dates are announced and perhaps read the official announcement on Pink Floyd’s Facebook page. I imagine the decision was not taken lightly given the impact this will have on thousands of people who have booked all...
As previously reported, Roger Waters wrote a new song for Marianne Faithfull’s new album which is due out next month in September 2014. The song is called Sparrows Will Sing and you can now listen to the new song below courtesy of Marianne’s YouTube channel. In addition to the new album from Marianne, she will also be touring for twelve months so look out for that news. You may also want to listen to another song Roger wrote for Marianne released in 1968 called Incarceration of a Flower Child. Enjoy. Don’t forget also that Roger Waters is also working on a new album and we live in hope that there will be some news to share with you sometime soon. David Gilmour also has a new album that is being worked on which could be released in 2015 and Pink Floyd also have an offering in the form of The Endless River...
