Pink Floyd: Live At Knebworth 1990

Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 Legacy The Knebworth show from 1990 was really special to me – Pink Floyd was the closing act on the 1990 ‘Best of British’ bill. All the dinosaurs gathered – 30 years ago! – Status Quo and Dire Straits and Eric Clapton, Plant and Page, Elton John, Cliff and […]

Poem: Pink Floyd Tapes  

12 and 13 and 14 years old and listening to  Pink Floyd tapes. Roger Waters’ first two solo albums too.  But it was the Floyd  stuff that meant the  most to me.

David Gilmour: Live at Pompeii

David Gilmour Live At Pompeii Sony Music Canada Inc. It’s no substitute for the real thing – Pink Floyd – but the more I’ve listened to this I’ve found a way in. That’s just me being a die-hard Floyd fan, or at least a Floyd fan of a type. I wasn’t at all impressed on […]

Roger Waters: Is This The Life We Really Want?

Roger Waters Is This The Life We Really Want? Columbia Over a quarter century after his last studio solo album, Roger Waters returns and fittingly – since we’d already amused ourselves to death he’s now concerned with whether this is the life we really want.

Roger Waters The Wall: DVD

Roger Waters The Wall Directors: Roger Waters & Sean Evans Rue 21 Productions/Universal Pictures I was barely joking when I wrote that I’d never be able to listen to The Wall by Pink Floyd, my first – obvious/logical – choice in an ongoing list of “Classic Albums” I never want to hear again.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1607

Pink Floyd, Relics (1971) One of the first Pink Floyd tapes I bought – so it was a bit of a head-fuck at first; lined up next to The Wall and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. But shortly after – I persisted with Relics – I bought Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. And it […]
