New Roger Waters tracks - update Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 20 July 2004

We have received an update today from Mark Fenwick, Roger's manager, concerning the previously posted news that Roger Waters will be making two new tracks available soon on the internet, for his fans to download.

The two songs, called "To Kill The Child" and "Leaving Beirut", are still pieces that are "works in progress" but of good enough quality to release. Mark said that he had "no idea if the tracks will be on the album [ie Roger's rock album due maybe next year]". He also said that "the lyrical contents are very apposite for the time, coming as they do before the US election". Sounds interesting!

Mark mentioned that the announcement of the tracks availability would probably be made on Roger’s own Sony website - RogerWaters.com. Needless to say, as soon as we have more information on this, we'll let you know.

Life story of "Syd" actor published Print E-mail

Monday, 19 July 2004

Darryl Read, star of the film Remember A Day, written by the late Syd Barrett expert and aficionado Bernard White, and featuring a story based loosely on the life of Syd, has now published the first part of his life story, in the book "Stardom Road".

Remember A Day, available now on DVD and reviewed here on our site, also included a number of people involved in Syd's real life story, such as Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, and others, and includes a rare instrumental of the title track, given to Darryl and Bernard for use in the film by none other than Pink Floyd's Richard Wright! Darryl performs the "Syd" character well, and his "Bird Song Clock" is a very convincing pastiche of an early 70's Barrett track.

Live Aid DVD - November release Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 15 July 2004

As we reported back in March this year, a long-awaited DVD release of the 1985 Live Aid concert, held at London's Wembley Stadium and JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, is due out on November 10th. The rights for the release of the DVD were sorted out this year, mainly due to chief organiser Bob Geldof's annoyance at the amount of bootleg DVD's flooding the market. Geldof tipped off police after pirated DVDs were found on the internet for £110 for a 10-disc set.

Warner Vision International won the bidding for the rights to produce and release the concert, and the four-DVD set will feature over 10 hours of performances, re-mastered in surround sound and a new backstage documentary entitled ‘Food, Trucks & Rock N’ Roll’.
