Nick Mason interviewed about "Lifetime with Pink Floyd" Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 07 November 2011

Drummer November 2011The new issue of UK magazine Drummer (issue 97, cover date November 2011) is out now in selected stores. The cover feature is focused on Nick Mason, looking at "A Lifetime with Pink Floyd".

The interview, which takes place over six, nicely illustrated pages, begins with Nick explaining the background behind the Why Pink Floyd reissue, remaster and collector's edition campaign, and looking at future possibilities. "If these releases are a success, we would like to continue the in-depth releases, with the most obvious next release being the early work, because I've got some demos from 1965 which are Syd's songs but with us playing on them. The BBC is also keen to put out some of their recordings, and again, given the new technology where things can be cleaned up, that may be possible."

Nick talks about the band's career, album-by-album, in an interesting wander through the catalogue, and the reader is treated to a few revelations about the making of the albums. The magazine's ordering hotline is on 01884-260897 (+44-1884-260897 outside the UK) where you may be able to get individual copies by mail.

In other Nick Mason news, he was interviewed by the "Tri-State Sports Guys" over the phone on November 2nd, 2011, talking about his racing, the difference between playing in a band vs racing, his favourite Pink Floyd songs to play, and the possibility of a reunion. Their twelve and a half minute interview can be heard here:

Brit Floyd Christmas showUK based Pink Floyd tribute band Brit Floyd have just announced they are performing a 2012 'A Foot In The Door' tour, performing all the tracks from Pink Floyd's new "best of" compilation album, and appropriately enough, tickets for the launch show go on sale today.

As a special offer, the organisers of the show - which takes place at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Saturday, December 17th 2011 - have decided to give a limited number of fans special discounted tickets. There's a limit of 500 successful entrants, who will be entitled to buy four tickets for the show for just £40. Individual tickets will be on sale for £27.50, so quite a saving. There is no obligation for those who enter, and everyone who does enter, gets a copy of a two-hour DVD from the launch show.

The closing date for the draw is 9am on Monday, November 14th, and the successful entrants will be informed the following day. To enter, email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . To get a taste of Brit Floyd, click here.

Wish You Were HereTo help celebrate the release of the second stage of the Why Pink Floyd remaster campaign - A Foot In The Door (the "best of" compilation) and Wish You Were Here as an Experience, Immersion, and vinyl edition, the respected US radio broadcaster Redbeard is airing a special show this week in North America. His "In The Studio" specials have built a great reputation due to their mix of detailed interview and music, and in September he aired a special show looking at the recent release of The Dark Side Of The Moon in expanded editions.

This week's show focuses on Wish You Were Here, which (along with A Foot...) is coming out on Monday, November 7th (Tuesday, November 8th in the US). Redbeard interviews David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters, for their thoughts on it, and the show can be heard across North America - check his website for participating radio stations, and then local listings for exact time and date of broadcast. A number of the stations stream their content worldwide for fans in other countries.

The interview will also be made available from next Monday at www.InTheStudio.net, where you can also find some of his other Pink Floyd specials to stream at your convenience.

 
Roger Waters - 2012 Wall Tour US/Canada dates confirmed Print E-mail

Roger Waters - performing The Wall Live in 2012Well, after months of rumour and speculation, the North American leg of the Roger Waters The Wall Live 2012 tour has now been announced. Running to some 36 dates, a number of the venues are new to Roger, and some are the previously mentioned baseball stadiums.

Roger told Rolling Stone recently: "There are quite a few markets we didn't cover last time, like Austin, but we want to base the tour around Saturday nights in baseball stadiums. As we speak, I'm at my office working on an outdoor version of the show. We've done light tests at Fenway Park and Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium just to see what the ambient light is like. And it's fine. It works. We've taken part of the Wall and the projectors into those three places."

For those elsewhere, we have had official confirmation that there are no plans for a European tour, despite the rumours suggesting otherwise.

Without further ado, here's where you can catch Roger in the US and Canada next year:
