Roger Waters, G.E. Smith to play Long Island

Posted October 28, 2026 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters will join guitarist G.E. Smith for a single performance at The Suffolk in Riverhead, N.Y., on Sunday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.

The intimate acoustic show reunites Waters with Smith, who was one of three guitarists on Waters’ 2010-13 tour of “The Wall.” Smith is also known for his work with Hall and Oates from 1979-85; and for leading the “Saturday Night Live” band from 1985-95.

The venue bills the show as Waters “playing his originals.”

Tickets are $250-350, and are available now.

Clifton David Broadbridge, a native of Belleville, Ontario, now living in Nashville, was named lead vocalist of “LEGACY — A Pink Floyd Show,” a Floyd tribute led by Harry Waters and officially sanctioned by his father, Floyd co-founder Roger Waters.

Broadbridge was selected from thousands of applicants who responded to an open audition call this spring. Three-thousand submissions were reviewed by Harry himself. According to The Intellegencer, Harry narrowed the field to 40 submissions and then eight before settling on Broadbridge.

Broadbridge, 48, has spent 20 years performing with Classic Albums Live, a project that performs live recreations of classic rock albums by artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, as well as Floyd and others.

“It’s very surreal,” Broadbridge tells The Intellegencer. “The music is so important to so many people, and because Roger is presenting the show, and directing the show, and producing it, there is such a high bar to it.”

Broadbridge joins the band that also includes:

Harry Waters, B3 Organ, Piano & Vocals
Graham Broad, Drums
Edo Scordo, Guitar & Vocals
Antonello Pudva, Guitar
Eva Avila, Backing Vocals
Genevieve Little, Backing Vocals
Dahniel Knight, Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals
Ryan Saranich, Saxophone, Percussion, Extra Guitar & Keyboards
Matt Riddle, Keyboards

Harry spent more than 15 years performing alongside his father on major tours, including “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall,” as well as the 2016 Desert Trip concerts.

LEGACY shows will focus on the Pink Floyd era of 1971-1979, and include some solo material from the elder Waters. Harry and drummer Graham Broad shaped the set-list together, paying tribute to the best-loved music from Floyd’s golden era, and building what Harry describes as an intentional arc across the evening.

The American leg of the tour launches Feb. 15 in Columbus, GA, with dates through Sept. 25 in St. Louis, MO. European dates will be announced soon. The entire tour is expected to include more than 100 venues.

Tickets went on sale Oct. 2 at www.RogerWatersLegacy.com.

Syd Barrett tribute concert, album and art show coming

Posted June 18, 2026 by Floydian Slip

The estate of Syd Barrett is planning a tribute concert and album to mark what would have been the Pink Floyd co-founder’s 80th birthday.

The concert will be held on World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10) at Cambridge Corn Exchange, the venue where Barrett made his final concert appareance Feb. 24, 1972.

Kula Shaker will headline the show, which will include bands influenced and inspired by Barrett such as Soft Machine, Men on the Border, Diana Silveira & The Psychedelic Circus, Radhika, and Pünk Floyd. Tickets are priced £55-132 and will go on sale June 19 at www.cornex.co.ukwww.cornex.co.uk. Proceeds will be donated to mental health charities.

The double album, “Clown and Jugglers — The Songs of Syd Barrett,” will be available Oct. 9 on colored vinyl and CD. Containing previously-released tracks as well as new recordings, the album will feature work by more than 20 artists. Previously-released recordings by Pink Floyd include two versions of Barrett’s “Arnold Layne,” the group’s first big hit in Spring 1967.

Cover art is by Mark Wilkinson, known for his work with Iron Maiden, Marillion and Judas Priest.

A major exhibition exploring Barrett’s life, art and cultural impact will run from Oct. 3-9 at Openspace in Cambridge. It’ll feature original paintings and sketches by Barrett; work from guest artists such as Barrett’s nephew Ian Barrett and Mick Rock; and talks from biographers exploring Barrett’s legacy.

Events co-organizer Neil Jones says, “Eighty years after his birth, Syd Barrett’s influence remains as powerful as ever. His music, creativity and unique vision continue to inspire artists and audiences across generations.”

Barrett died in 2006. He’d lived a reclusive life in Cambridge after retiring from the spotlight following his late-’60s departure from Pink Floyd.

David Gilmour’s Black Strat to be auctioned again

Posted November 6, 2025 by Floydian Slip

“The Black Strat,” David Gilmour‘s fabled Fender Stratocaster guitar he played on so many classic Pink Floyd recordings and on stage, will be going on the auction block (again) in March.

The Floyd guitarist auctioned the instrument along with a bevvy of other guitars in June 2019 raising $21.5 million for ClientEarth, an organization that funds attorneys and other experts to fight climate change. The Black Strat alone sold for $3,975,000, purchased by Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts.

Christie’s New York is now scheduled to sell it again as part of Irsay’s enormous collection going on the block following his death May 21. The collection will be auctioned over a series of events beginning in March.

Other instruments included in the auction were owned and played by all four Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Janis Joplin, Elton John, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jim Morrison, and dozens more.

Gilmour bought the Black Strat at Mannie’s Music in New York City in May 1970, and played it extensively through the ’70s and into the ’80s on recording such as “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), “Wish You Were Here” (1975), “Animals” (1977) and “The Wall” (1979).

Free public exhibitions will accompany the sales at Christie’s, which is located at 20 Rockefeller Plaza. Read more about the auctions
