Sound & Vision Interview with Nick Mason for Why Pink Floyd

Sound & Vision Interview with Nick Mason for Why Pink Floyd

Sound & Vision’s Mike Mettler interviewed Nick Mason at Hayden Planetarium in NYC at the Capitol Records launch of Why Pink Floyd. The November issue of the audiophile magazine will feature the fruits of his labour! Here is an excerpt… “This is one case where the record company got it right.” So assessed Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason last night at an exclusive launch party at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Mason was addressing the crowd about EMI’s massive Why Pink Floyd? campaign before our select group was ushered up into the Hayden Planetarium to experience the “interplanetary playback” of a previously unreleased performance of The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety at Empire Pool at Wembley in London on November 16, 1974. The initial installments of the Why? campaign — Discovery editions of 14 remastered...

Nick Mason at Goodwood Revival 2011

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!! However, Nick doesn’t like to just keep his collection in climate controlled hanger’s under velvet covers to keep the dust off and preserve. He likes to go mental in them and race around racetracks and show them off in the fashion that their designers intended them to be! Nick will be available to sign copies of his co-authored book Passion For Speed at the festival so, if you are in the area, pop along and say hi to Nick Mason! He can be found at 11am and 4pm...

Pink Floyd Concert in Romania 2012?

Pink Floyd Concert in Romania 2012?

Saw a very odd story indeed today on a website called Business Reivew in which they say, “At a press conference announcing the Rock the City festival, D&D East Entertainment officials have stated that the legendary Pink Floyd might hold a concert in Romania, next year, according to website realitatea.net. The organizers are, however, currently negotiating with the band.” I find that highly unlikely even in light of Nick Mason’s recent radio interview on BBC 6 Music in which he said he would like Pink Floyd to get back together and play a concert for a special occasion, much like Live 8. Pink Floyd have not played in Romania before although Roger Waters has performed in Russia in the past a few times. I find it highly unlikely that they would play in Romania! Anyway, what do I know! Please do leave a comment below to share your thoughts about...

Mike Dolbear, founder of this very site, has come up with a clever idea for combining his love of fitness with his support of the Teenage Cancer Trust. He will be running in the Halstead & Essex Half Marathon on 8th May and everyone who sponsors him will be entered into a draw to win the donated cymbal. Mike was also involved in the recent Jordan Terris Memorial Drum Festival. “Getting to know Jordan”s parents, Kevin and Fiona, and watching the Teenage Cancer Trust film” he said, “I wanted to try and do more to help a charity that can”t afford TV advertising. I hope to do more of these fund raising events to...

David Gilmour

Year in Review: Roger Waters & David Gilmour 2006 By Andrew Beale and azza200

2006 has been a busy year for our favorite Floydians. David Gilmour and Roger Waters both launched a tour this year, collaborating with other members of Pink Floyd and some old friends. Nick Mason and Rick Wright were very involved this year. Nick played a few shows with Roger, and Rick played keyboards throughout David’s tour. Jon Carin was quite busy, playing as a full time member of both David and Roger’s band. I (Andrew Beale) unfortunately could not have made it to one of Gilmour’s concerts, so I got some help from azza200 to write this article who saw David twice on his tour. David Gilmour Dates: David played Continental Europe, North America, and the UK on his tour. He only played 36 dates in total, a select few dates compared to Rogers numerous. The venues tended to be smaller and the tickets were expensive. Some problems with this...
