Talking of the concert, David said: "It was pretty surprising I must say to find ourselves in that position [back on stage] after all our years of grumpiness," adding that he and Waters are now on "pretty amicable terms. We've communicated a couple of times via email since the concert and he headed back to the States where he lives these days. It's a very nice thank you and goodbye."
"It wouldn't be absolutely impossible for a similar thing to happen again on a one-off basis, but that's it for me - I've moved on in the last 20 years." Talk then turns to David's solo album, which we reported some time ago is currently being worked on. "I'm in the middle of making a record, which will be out under my own name in the new year, and I'm doing a few dates to support that."
Elsewhere, David writes a complete article arguing that the other artists on the Live 8 bill should donate any resulting profits to charity. As has been seen, all the artists (with the exception of Pete Doherty) saw sales increase, many of them dramatically. Indeed, this week's UK album chart has no less than four Floyd albums in it - Echoes (number 19), Dark Side Of The Moon (41), Wish You Were Here (65) and The Wall (74), and David has already pledged to donate his share of extra revenue back to charity. The album chart shows many re-entries from the artists on the bill, and if even some of them follow David's example, then the charity will benefit greatly.
And:
"Though the main objective has been to raise consciousness and put pressure on the G8 leaders, I will not profit from the concert. If on Thursday the G8 leaders tick the right three boxes at Gleneagles then the main objective will have been fulfilled.
"If other artists feel like donating their extra royalties to charity, perhaps then the record companies could be persuaded to make a similar gesture and that would be a bonus.
This is money that should be used to save lives."
"We've been offered US$150million to do gigs in the States. It's completely mad - and we won't do it. The idea was for Live 8 as a one-off."
If Live8 was indeed the final curtain for the band, then at least they went out with a bang!
The four of them will attend the ceremony, to be held in November. It will be only the second time in almost a quarter of a century that the whole group has appeared on stage together.
The Story....
The main players:
Richard William Wright 28 July 1945- keyboards and vocals,
Nicholas Berkeley Mason 27 January 1944- drums,
George Roger Waters 9 September 43- bass and vocals,
David Jon Gilmour 6 March 1946- guitar, bass & vocals,
Rick Wright and Nick Mason met each other at the School of Architecture in London. With a few friends they started to play in the bands;
Sigma 6,
Nick Mason - drums,
Rick Wright - Rhythm guitar,
Roger Waters - guitar,
Clive Metcalf - bass,
Ken Noble - vocals,
Sheilagh Noble - occasional vocals
& Vernom Thompson (?) - occasional guitar.
Leonard's Lodgers
Nick, Roger and later Richard too, lived in house of an art-teacher Mike Leonard. He was experimenting with liquid, colored oil movies and wanted to add some music to his projections... and so the light shows of the beginning Pinks were born.
The Megadeaths,
The Abdabs &
The Screaming Abdabs, the last two bands had two vocalists;
Keith Noble &
Juliette Gale (later Mrs Wright)
& bass-player Clive Metcalf.
The T-Set ('64); with
Richard Wright - rhythm guitar
Nick Mason - drums
Clive Metcalf - bass
Juliette Gale - vocals
Keith Noble - vocals
They play r&b and a lot of covers. The obstinate Syd changed the name of the group in The Pink Floyd, the name of two American blues men;
Pink Anderson ('00-'74) &
Floyd Council ('11-'76) aka Floyd Dipper.
Bob "Rado" Klose played guitar along Syd. He, Bob was a fellow student at the Regent Street Polytechnic. He left because he didn't like the acid sounds Syd brought in, he was more interested in blues and jazz. Probably he played guitar on the two bootlegs I'm a King Bee (written by Moore) and Lucy Leave (A Syd Barrett composition?). He became a photographer.
Bob is present on David Gilmours On An Island ('06)! Isn't that strange? When Bob never had left Pink Floyd, it would be unlikely that David Gilmour ever would joined to help out and join Pink Floyd...
Roger, Nick, Syd, Bob Klose & Rick.
And he, Syd, picked up the first acid sounds of America and gets on experimenting with drugs and the strange "vibes".
England's first psychedelic band had emerged and with their light show they get a good reputation in the underground scene.
Arnold Layne (lyric) saw the first daylight on 11 March '67, produced by Joe Boyd. Highest position; 42 in the British charts. See Emily Play is the next single and it gets a place in the top 10.
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (after a title from the writer Kenneth Graham) (´67) is their debut lp.
Richard Wright - organ, piano, keyboards, vocals
Nick Mason - drums
Syd Barrett - vocals, guitars, cover design.
Norman Smith - producer &
Pete Brown - engineer.
Other activities surrounding the 40th anniversary celebrations will be announced in due course.
Video from Pink Floyd: Bike [from the Piper at the Gates of Dawn LP].
Syd drinks and uses drugs to much, on stages he doesn't remember the notes or lines, he comes late, sometimes he doesn't comes at all. Danny O'List (member of The Nice) played a few gigs instead of Syd, during a tour with Jimmy Hendrix and The Nice.
1-1-1968:
David Gilmour became the successor of Syd. David and Syd knew each other from school.
On A Saucerful of Secrets ('68) Barrett is playing on only one track before he leaves the band (April '68).
David Gilmour Guitar, Vocals
Nick Mason Drums
Roger Waters Bass, Guitar, Vocals
Rick Wright Keyboards, Vocals
Norman Smith Producer.
More (movie sound track '69).
Ummagumma (one record live and the other 4 solo-tracks '69),
this record comes out on the Harvest label. On this label were also contracted; Deep Purple, Roy Harper and, for example, Roger Chapman.
Zabriski Point, a movie soundtrack with the American cousin;
The Grateful Dead &
Kaleidoscope (with steel-guitarist David Lindley, friend of Jackson Browne).
There are 3 different albums of Zabriski; one double with extra tracks and an album with rare tracks from Two Certain Somebodies.Atom Heart Mother ('70), Alan Parsons
gets involved with the Pinks as engineer and producer, also with
Pete Bown and
Norman Smith- producer,
The John Aldis Choir.
a Abbey Road brass section,
& Ron Geesin, who wrote the brass-section.
The tittle track is a masterpiece of almost 24 minutes. The sleeve of the nice good-looking cow, called Lullabel III, is from Hipgnosis.
The group had a spectacular live show (see the video of Life at Pompeij and a gig at the Kralingerbos in Rotterdam)(my brother Jan was there!).Alan Stiles says something on Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.
Relics ('71) is a collection of early singles and more stuff, the cover is painted by Nick Mason. But there are more covers, the cover on the left should be the original (i never saw it). In '93 John Robertson, a sculptor, who also made the heads of the Division Bell-album, made a sculptor of Nick's drawing (on the right)(in Australia they had another different cover with coins):
Meddle ('71) (with On of these Days, Dave and Roger playing the bass), and a session player;
Seamus, the dog of Steve Marriot (Small Faces), sings great lines.
Produced by Pink Floyd and;
Pete Bown &
John Lecklie.
Obscured by Clouds ('72, soundtrack for the movie The Valley) is again a soundtrack. On the last two albums the concept of one of the greatest albums is beginning to establish.
The Dark Side of the Moon ('73), with;
Alan Parsons -"producer" and engineer, he got a Grammy nomination for that. The other Pinks found he was just an engineer who did a job, so as engineers should be.
Chris Thomas - engineer and head of the mixing-crew.
Dick Parry -saxes,
Clare Torry on request of Alan, vocals on A great Gig in the Sky,
Liza Strike,
Carlena Williams,
Leslie Duncan,
Doris Troy &
Barry St.John- backing vocals,
Jerry Driscoll, doorman at Abbey-Road-Studio, voice;
Speak to me; I've always been mad i know i've been mad like the most of us, very hard to explain why're mad even if you're not mad.
Great Gig; and i'm not frightened of dying, anytime will do i don't mind. Why should i be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it. You gotta go sometime.
Eclipse; There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact's it's all dark.
Chris Adamson (roadmanager), voice;
Speak to me; I've been mad for fucking years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands.
Peter & Patricia Watts (roadie, sound engineer and his wife) voice;
Speak to me; laughter- I can't think of anything to say except... - I think it's marvellous, hahaha!
Great Gig; I never said i was afraid of dying.
Money; The greezer was cruising for a bruising!
Henry McCullough (guitarist of Joe Cocker & the Wings), voice;
Money; I don't know! IP was really drunk at the time! I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number two. He was asking why he wasn't coming up ten freely, after i was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely. It came as a heavy blow, be we sorted the matter out.
Us and Them; I don't know i was really drunk at the time.
Roger the Hat, voice;
On the Run; live for today, gone tomorrow... that's me.
Us and Them; I mean they gonna kill ya so if you give em a quick short, sharp shock, the don't do it again. Dig it? I mean he got off lightly, cos, i would've given him a thrashing. I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really... i mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh?
In the USSR is the cover of Storm Thorgerson a little different.
25 years later the album is re mastered. And sales again great. (go to see the words)
A Nice Pair ('73), is a collection of the albums; A Saucerful of Secrets & The Piper At the Gates of Dawn.
The next 3 years they went on tour, a few new songs are introduced; in '75 Raving & Drooling, You gotta be Crazy (later called; Sheeps & Dogs from Animals), Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Have a Cigar which ended in a demo of Wish You Were Here.
Wish you were here ('75). During the studio sessions Syd Barrett visited the studio once, Roger didn't recognize him, Dave shook hands... One of the best albums of the band.
The radio introduction on the title track was recorded on David Gilmours car stereo.
Tchaikosvky's 4th Symphonie is been sampled (intro Wish You Were Here).
Stephane Grappelli was in the studio and did record a few tracks, but they never made the album (- violin).
Dick Parry - sax,
Roy Harper sings Have a Cigar,
Venetta Fields &
Carlena Williams - backing vocals
Hipgnosis takes care of the cover.
Animals ('77) is a not very happy record. Roger wrote the most tracks.
Roger Waters: "I was trying to push the band into more specific areas of subject matter, trying to be more direct. Visually, I was trying to get away from the blobs...there isn't much left for you to interpret."
Waters and Gilmour were beginning to tussle for control, sharing production credits and engaging in a lengthy wrangle over the album's publishing royalties which wasn't settled for 10 years.
David Gilmour: "On Animals I was the prime musical force. Roger was the motivator and lyric writer."
Nick Mason: "This was a bit of a return to the group feel, quite a cheerful session as I remember. We did it in our own studio, which we'd just built. By now Roger was in full flow with the ideas, but he was also really kepping Dave down, and frustrating him deliberately."
Rick Wright: "I didn't like a lot of the writing on Animals, but unfortunately I didn't have anything to offer. I think I played well but I remember feeling not very happy or creative, partly because of problems with my marriage. This was the beginning of my writer's block."
David Gilmour: "I basically wrote all the chords [on "Dogs"] --the main music part of it. And we wrote some other bits together at the end. [I played] a custom Telecaster. I was coming through some Hiwatt amps and a couple of Yamaha rotating speaker cabinets--Leslie style cabinets that they used to make. I used to use two of those on stage along with the regular amps. That slight Leslie effect made a big difference in the sound." (from a Guitar World interview)
Snowy White plays a solo in Pigs on the Wing, but it wasn't used for the album.
During In The Flesh Tour are playing with the band;
Snowy White- guitar &
Dick Parry- sax.
Gilmour, Wright and Mason are involved with solo-projects.
The Wall ('79). A heavy pretentious double-album. It seems to be an autobiography from Rogers hands, he wrote the biggest part. Bob Ezrin and David Gilmour get into a studio to make the rough material to a astonishing concept. See the the demo-text of Comfortable Numb. David only wrote two pieces; Comfortably Numb (the best track of the album) and Run Like Hell and he co-wrote Young Lust. Roger was on strained terms with the rest of the band, Richard Wright became kicked out of the group.
The cover is not from Storm Thorgensen or Hipgnosis but from Gerald Scarfe.
On the album aren't mentioned for their input;
Jeff & Joe Porcaro- drums on Mother,
Lee Ritehour guitar solo on One of my Turns,
Bruce Johnston (Beach Boys) vocals in The Show must go on,
Joe, Chemay,
Freddie Mandell

Snowy White - guitar (but he had to leave because obligations with Thin Lizzy)
Andy Roberts- guitar,
Willi Wilson- drums,
Peter Woods- keyboard,
Stan Faber,
Jim Haas, Jon Joyce &
Joe Dunn - vocals
The show is one of the biggest shows on earth.
The concept of the Wall & Dark Side turns out to a movie by Alan Parker, Bob 'Boomtown' Geldof, played Pink and he didn't have to speak a word...
Great Collection of dance-songs ('81), must keep the fans satisfied.
The Final Cut ('83) is really the final cut. Richard is replaced. The cover is again not from Storms hand, idea and concept from Roger. And the last one wrote everything and again it his story. The Hero's Return" and "Your Possible Pasts" were rejected for the wall, but find now a place on the album. Maybe we can call it Roger's Solo-album... It's however perfectly recorded.
Michael Kamen,
James Guthrie - mixer,
Andy Bown - keyboards and orchestration.
Ray Cooper- percussion,
Andy Newmark- drums,
Raf Ravenscroft- sax.
Solo-albums are coming out;
David Gilmour; About Face '84 (one of my favorites), Richard Wright; Zee /Indentity (disapointed) and Rogers Pros & Cons of hitchhiking (an astonishing concept and a great bluesy guitar).
In the autumn of '86 it is announced that Gilmour, Mason & Wright will be recording under the name of Pink Floyd. Roger is furious and goes to court.
The Momentary Lapse of Reason ('87);
David Gilmour, vocals, guitars and producing,
Nick Mason, drums, producing and voice at Learning to fly,

Delicate Sound of Thunder ('88) is a double live-recording album.
In Knebworth (30-6-'90) they play at a festival;

Guy Pratt (bass)
Jon Carin (keyboards, vocals)
Jody Linscott (percussion)
Gary Wallis (drums)
Sam Brown (vocals)
Some guests appearing in the gig were Rick Wright & Nick Mason, plus Tom Jones, Hugh Cornwell (from The Stranglers), Mica Paris, Elvis Costello and others.
After a period of silence The Division Bell throws fun into the fans. Not only the lay-out, Hypnosic Storm Thorgenson and the sculptor Andy Robbertson, is great but the music is one of the highlights of Pinks history. Douglas Adams, the writer f.e. The Hitchhikers Guide, was responsible for the title, he sold it (for charity) to the Pinks. He played a riddle with the Pinks at 28-10-94 Earls Court. Adams died 12 Mai 2001, suddenly, unexpected and to early...

The tour is perfectly recorded; Pulse ('95). Most of the recordings come from the concerts at Earls Court.
Shine On, is a box-set with illustrations of Storm.
Gilmour is in for a lot of session work and he marries Polly Samson and they have kids... Richard brings out a nice solo-album; Broken China. Nick is polishing his cars and Roger gets on the road again!
Is There Anybody Out There ('00)
is the title from The Wall live! 20 years after the gig took place.
In London 1966 - 1967, is a collectors-item for the real hardcore Pink Floyd aficionado's. With an interesting cd-rom.
Echoes (October 2001), is a best of complication, with some nice songs from Syd Barret. And indeed the songs a great, the art-work is nice but not more then that. Read here about the songs on Echoes.
The Wall demo's let us hear, for example, Another Brick in the Wall without the kids from Islington Green School, Run like Hell as instrumental song and Comfortable Numb with a, weak, different lyric, specially the part which Roger sings.
Money the single, new out in 2003, both with artwork from Storm Thorgerson.The live Pulse album is coming out in a 5.1 Surround Sound DVD mix, and the band is about to jump into remixing their classic Dark Side of the Moon album in 5.1 sound.
"We've got a quad mix that Alan Parsons did back in '73," he, David Gilmour, says. "It's not quite as good as what I would want." In April 2003 the quadrophonic Darkside is released.
So odds are the band will go back and do a full remix from scratch, which creates another bonus. Because of limitations of the day, every format of Dark Side has not been off the master tapes; the 16-track backing tracks were always at least a generation removed and altered.
"We can go back one stage and do a remix from the very original masters," Gilmour says. "We can have a 5.1 that intrinsically is better than anything out there."
Personal i don't like the tribute albums. There are a lot of them, i'll mention one, because the line-upp is very impressive: Pigs and Pyramids. 2002 with:
The Dark Side Of The Moon (DVD 2003)Contains Unique Never-Before Heard Versions!

Live at Pompeii (DVD 2003)
Steve O'Rouke: 1940 - 2003: Steve O'Rourke, the Pink Floyd's manager, had tragically suffered a fatal stroke (30 October '03).Steve O'Rourke became manager of Pink Floyd in 1968, after the band ceased to use the services of Peter Jenner and Andrew King. Steve was the manager of the band from then on, and also individually managed David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright.
One of Steve's passions in life was motor racing.
