This morning in the US, Roger appeared on the CBS show "Sunday Morning", discussing the new tour, which he notes is bigger and even more technically complex, and is likely to be his last. "I would think so, yeah. I can't imagine I'll ever do another one after this, but I'm going for it. I mean, I'm going all over the world with this thing."
The interview delves into his time with Pink Floyd, and is an interesting piece. You can watch it below. "Sunday Morning" also streams on CBSN beginning at 9:30am ET, and is available on cbs.com, CBS All Access, and On Demand. You can also listen to "Sunday Morning" audio podcasts at Play.it.

One of the most eagerly awaited concert recordings is now confirmed - so keep September 13th free in your diary! David Gilmour Live at Pompeii, filmed in 4k by director Gavin Elder and to be presented in Dolby Atmos sound, is a recording of the pair of spectacular concerts held at the ancient Roman amphitheatre on July 7th and 8th last year.
The concerts were held 45 years after David last played there, for the Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii filming by Adrian Maben, and whilst the original performance was without an audience, the shows last year were the first ever rock shows played to an audience in the venue (which was entombed in ash when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79). As you will have seen via the reviews of the two shows on this site, they were incredible experiences.
The film of these shows, using highlights from both nights, should prove just as spectacular and unforgettable. For one night only, on September 13th, over 2000 cinemas worldwide will be showing David Gilmour Live At Pompeii.
The show includes songs from throughout David's career including the title tracks of his two most recent No. 1 solo albums: Rattle That Lock and On An Island. Also included are other solo and Pink Floyd classics such as Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and One Of These Days, the only song that was also performed by the band in 1971. Both concerts also saw very special performances of The Great Gig In The Sky from The Dark Side Of The Moon, which David rarely plays as a solo artist.
Tickets are now on sale worldwide with more cinemas to follow soon, including Latin America and Central America. Via 'Demand It' if David Gilmour Live at Pompeii is not screening in a specific area, fans can make a request for it by filling out a form on the website, and Trafalgar Releasing will do their best to bring the event to a cinema near them.

Currently available in UK stores (going on sale on May 25th), and in due course in selected retailers outside the UK, is the new issue (dated June 2017, issue 467) of Record Collector. With a picture of The Beatles on the cover, it has an interesting two-page feature and Q&A session with Pink Floyd's Creative Director Aubrey 'Po' Powell about the creation of the Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, which is currently open at the V&A in London.
Following on from Déjà Vu, another new track from Roger Waters' forthcoming album, Is This The Life We Really Want?, has today been released to hear on streaming platforms including Spotify, and as you'll see below, as an atmospheric and touching video created by Sean Evans and Roger.
The song is very poignant, heightened by the accompanying video, and further develops the feel and focus of his new album, which is now just two weeks away.
If this song, or the previously released Smell The Roses and Déjà Vu, has whet your appetite for the album, we list here the dedicated ordering links for the vinyl and the CD editions - using these will give a small but vital contribution to the running costs of Brain Damage, without costing you a penny/cent extra, and we really appreciate it!
