Nick Mason at Goodwood Revival 2011

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is attending the Goodwood Revival 2011 event which takes place tomorrow and Sunday (17th and 18th September 2011). Nick is an avid collector of vintage cars and modern ones alike and has even appeared on BBC 2’s Top Gear program in which he brought along his Ferrari Enzo and a few copies of his Inside Out book!!

Roger Waters The Wall DVD | In the Pipeline for 1980’s and 2010’s

Roger Waters The Wall DVD | In the Pipeline for 1980’s and 2010’s

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...
