It is that time of year again when the British quality newspaper The Times publishes it’s “rich list” showing all sorts of people’s wealth that they have accumulated. Whether you think it good or not that individuals have that sort of money, I am pleased to report that Roger Waters came in at number 22 and David Gilmour in at 27. No doubt Roger’s tour of The Wall has helped put him £20m ahead of David! I wouldn’t worry too much about David though as £85m is still rather a lot! lol You can see a full list here. I would post a link to The Times but you now have to pay to view the website. Boo! Feel free to discuss this year’s Rich List on the forum.
Back in the 1980’s when Pink Floyd originally toured The Wall live in 1980 and 1981, there was filming at some of the shows direct onto film. However, when watching the film back, Roger Waters was not too impressed with the resulting quality that he was presented with. As such, the films have never seen the light of day besides the occasional clip here and there. The Wall on DVD Well, in several interviews over the past few months, Roger and others have been saying that the original film is being worked on with modern tools that can improve the quality much like Pink Floyd’s P.U.L.S.E. got a makeover and re-presented on DVD despite it being filmed to video tape and not the high quality film like the original Wall was filmed to. Anyway, the current tour in 2011 is being filmed at London’s O2 arena and also in Greece...
