Pigs flew July 10, when Roger Waters joined David Gilmour on stage at the Hoping Foundation charity event in Oxfordshire.
To even the scales, Gilmour has promised to join Waters at one show of his “Wall” tour to perform “Comfortably Numb” with his former bandmate.
But which show? That’s the question.
Guess the closest and win Roger Waters’ “The Wall Live in Berlin” from 1990. Guess the exact date, and we’ll throw in a sealed copy of Classic Rock’s excellent 3D Pink Floyd issue from Fall 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of “The Wall.”
Make your guess now. One guess per person. (Don’t worry, laddy, we’ll know …)
The Orb’s “Metallic Spheres” album, to be released this fall, will feature guitar work by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour.
Gilmour’s contributions come from a jam session with Martin “Youth” Glover (Killing Joke), originally intended only for an ambient remix of “Chicago,” the Graham Nash song Gilmour helped re-record to benefit alleged UK computer hacker and cause celebreGary McKinnon.
“Metallic Spheres” will be released in October, with all artist royalties going to benefit McKinnon’s plight to fight extradition to the United States.
There will be two versions of the CD release: A standard, single-disc version; and a two-disc deluxe set. The deluxe version will include the standard CD, along with a second disc presenting the material in 3D60™ sound.
3D60™ is a new sound production process developed by Glover, sound engineer Mike Brady (The Jam) and Ian Thompson that simulates three-dimensional sound without any special equipment needed.
The album will also be available on vinyl and as a download on iTunes.
Roger Waters has made available a “two-minute taster” of his reunion gig with David Gilmour, which took place at the Hoping Foundation charity event in July.
“The sound quality is crap but it was a great night for me, and for him, and also for ‘US and THEM’,” he writes on his Web site.
The video seems to be a hand-held job, shot from the audience of 200.
The duo have given the entire 29-minute set to the foundation, which plans to post it at 5 p.m. Monday UK time.
Pigs flew last night at an Oxfordshire, England, charity event, when Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and Roger Waters performed live together.
Appearing in Kidlington for a concert to benefit the Hoping Foundation, the two played four songs together, accompanied by Guy Pratt, on bass and acoustic guitar; Harry Waters, on keyboards; Andy Newmark, on drums; Chester Kamen, on guitar; and Jonjo Grisdale, also on keyboards.
The set contained four songs: Floyd classics “Wish You Were Here,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two),” along with Phil Spector’s “To Know Him Is To Love Him.”
Enter to win a copy of the Celebrated Artists Band’s double-album “Join Together,” including the previously unreleased “For the Old Times,” featuring Floyd’s David Gilmour (and Floyd sideman Snowy White), recorded in the late-’70s/early-’80s.
Registration deadline is 6 p.m. EST Monday, Nov. 23.
Quick follow-up to our post from a month ago, regarding the honorary degree bestowed upon Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour: The ceremony took place yesterday at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, and Gilmour was in attendance.
Cambridge News quoted John Gordon, who was in Gilmour’s early band Joker’s Wild: “I am delighted to hear of my old mate David’s recognition by my old college. … I’ve kept in occasional contact with David over the years and followed his progress as one of the world’s finest exponents of the guitar.”
