The end of Pink Floyd?...

Posted by pulse on Oct 25, 2001

BBC Radio 2 conducted a very important interview of David Gilmour today in anticipation of the upcoming release of "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd." Some interesting subjects were discussed. It appears David has plans to release a video and DVD of the previous Meltdown gig and upcoming February shows. He also mentioned his intentions to start on a new solo album next year - all terrific news! Unfortunately there is bad news for fans hoping to see Pink Floyd in action again. David's comments were not very promising. The inevitable end is a realization we may finally have to accept. Something many of us have suspected for a good while now. You will need RealPlayer to listen to the entire rebroadcast here.

David in concert again!

Posted by pulse on Oct 10, 2001

Following critical acclaim for his sold out performace in June as part of Robert Wyatt's Meltdown Festival, David Gilmour has decided to dust off the Royal Hall once again for two dates scheduled in January of 2002. The shows will be held back to back, Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th. Quite a treat they should be indeed if they are anything relatively close to the Meltdown Festival performance. Seats will likely sell out quick! Tickets may be ordered for either show here while still available!


Tentative dates for In the Flesh 2002

Posted by madhack on Sep 7, 2001

The Roger Waters International Fan Club (REG) site put up some tentative tour dates for the 2002 leg of Roger Waters' In the Flesh 2002 tour. Sort of old news, but I guess I'd thought someone else had posted it here already... :). Anyway, as the site says, these dates are unconfirmed, but REG is a reliable source for information - very promising for Roger's fans abroad...

Gilmour takes up a new instrument

Posted by pulse on Mar 20, 2001

David has found a new hobby to accompany his incredible guitar playing. His wife bought him a shiney new tenor saxophone for his recent 55th birthday. He has already passed his grade one exam. Does this mean we'll be hearing Dave play sax instead of Dick Parry on any future Pink Floyd album? Ha Ha... I don't know about that! But here is the article at Q4Music.
