Greek ‘Wall’ shows to be filmed; Milan dates moved

Posted April 20, 2011 by Floydian Slip

“The Wall” will be committed to film when the show is performed by Roger Waters in Greece in early July.

To accommodate the filming, the tour’s Milan, Italy, dates have been rescheduled. The July 6 and 7 shows for Milan have been moved to July 3 and 4, respectively.

Ticket holders are instructed to hold on to their tickets, which will automatically become valid for the new dates. Those who cannot attend the new dates, should return to their point of purchase for a refund no later than June 15.

Waters previously announced the shows in London would be filmed, asking for close attention of the show’s no photography policy, since flash photos interfere with the show’s projections and affect filming.

We’ve been told to expect a possible theatrical release of the show, as well as a DVD.

William Shatner to cover Pink Floyd

Posted April 14, 2011 by Floydian Slip

If this news broke a couple weeks earlier, we could easily have mistaken it for an April Fool’s prank: TV icon William Shatner will cover Pink Floyd on an upcoming album.

“Searching for Major Tom” will contain 19 cover songs all with a space theme. The Floyd song will be “Learning to Fly” from the band’s 1987 album “A Momentary Lapse of Reason.” The track features Edgar Froese from Tangerine Dream on keyboards and guitar.

While Shatner’s first album (1968’s “The Transformed Man”) is of … er … questionable quality, but at least one, 2004’s “Has Been,” is, with rarely an exception, top-notch — due, in part, to collaborator Ben Folds, in our humble opinion.

“Searching for Major Tom” will also include covers by Deep Purple, Thomas Dolby, U2, Queen, David Bowie, Duran Duran and others.

Shatner announced the album in February, but only just recently announced details.

Hot Wheels releases Nick Mason Ferrari

Posted April 11, 2011 by Floydian Slip

Hot Wheels Elite has released a 1:18 scale replica of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason‘s 512 S Ferrari.

The car raced in 1970 with Mario Andretti, Ronnie Peterson and Arturo Merzario as drivers; and appeared in the 1971 Le Mans film starring Steve McQueen.

“Performance cars, and Ferrari in particular, tend to be at the leading edge of excellence and innovation, and the 512 S is no exception,” Mason says.

The model is part of Hot Wheels’ Ferrari in Music collection, which also includes cars owned by George Michael, Eric Clapton and Jamiroquai.

It’s a limited edition of 5,000, and retails for approximately $100.

Learn more about the model at the Hot Wheels Elite Web site.
