S2BN Entertainment and event promoter Diego Gonzalez have announced the Pink Floyd exhibition “Their Mortal Remains,” which was scheduled to open Aug. 3 in Los Angeles, has been postponed to Sept. 3.
The U.S. premiere of the exhibition, which opened in London in 2017 and has traveled to Rome, Dortmund and Madrid, was set back due to “global freight delays.”
“The many containers filled with Pink Floyd’s artefacts, stage sets, and private collections were shipped from the U.K. with an extensive lead time but coming out of the pandemic, there are many delays in global freight,” the company wrote in a statement. “These containers have now safely arrived in L.A.”
The company will notify via email ticket holders for August to reschedule their dates at no additional cost. Ticket holders can also contact the Vogue Multicultural Museum at info@vmmla.com with questions about the ticket exchange process.
The exhibit is scheduled to run through Jan. 9, 2022.

“This is Not a Drill,” the North American tour Roger Waters had announced before the pandemic hit in Spring 2020, has been rescheduled for ’22.
Tickets are on sale now for the 36 dates that begin in Pittsburgh July 6 and finish in Dallas Oct. 8.
In a statement, Waters calls this his “first farewell tour.”
“It is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home,” he writes.
“The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s Golden Era alongside several new ones — words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow!”
These shows will be the first Roger has performed “in the round” with audience on all sides.
Tickets bought for 2020 will be valid for the new dates. Those ticket holders will receive an email with instructions.

Music professor Dr. Gilad Cohen will launch a Pink Floyd weekly lecture series March 3.
“The Floydian Style” will be an 8-part series presented live on Zoom. It’ll focus on the inventive ways lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, performance, and visuals have joined together to make Floyd one of the most successful bands of all time.
Cohen will present the first 80-minute session, “Pop and Psychedelia,” free on March 3, at 6:15 p.m. EST. Additional sessions will be $15 each, or $12 for students. The entire series is available for purchase in advance for $90, or $75 for students.
Video recordings of the sessions will also be available for two months. Users can buy the series any time, and receive recordings of the sessions they might have missed.
“The format is attractive since it allows free discussion,” Cohen tells us, “with participants asking questions throughout and suggesting songs and issues for discussion.”

Cohen is an associate professor of music performance and theory at Ramapo College of New Jersey where he teaches a number of courses, including “Shine On: The Music of Pink Floyd.” In 2014 he co-produced “Pink Floyd: Sound, Sight and Structure,” an academic conference held at Princeton where he was studying.
Space is limited. Register in advance at Cohen’s website.

Trafalgar Releasing will present Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” concert film in select theaters one night only, Oct. 15.
The film, directed by Wayne Isham, was first released on VHS in June 1989. DVD and Blu-ray versions came 30 years later in 2019.
This will be the first time the Grammy-nominated movie — for “Best Long Form Music Video” — will be shown in theaters.
“Delicate Sound of Thunder” is a document of the band’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour shot in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. Additional footage was recorded two months earlier at the Place d’Armes of the Château de Versailles, France.
Trafalgar gave a similar treatment to Nick Mason‘s “Live at the Roundhouse” this spring, and Roger Waters‘s “Us + Them” in autumn 2019.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 27 at delicatesoundofthunder.com.
Addendum (Aug. 24, 2020): The Pink Floyd Facebook page states “The cinema release of Delicate Sound of Thunder will be postponed. More details to follow.”
