However, they've announced a couple of major news items for the US and UK regions, which we thought it best to tell you about in case you didn't already know... First, there will be two appearances by David and his band on UK TV. First, they will be performing live on BBC HD and BBC2 TV's "Later...With Jools Holland", on September 23rd, at 10pm. This is a half-hour programme, with one song from David, and an extended version of the show will air on September 26th which will include three songs - 'Astronomy Domine', 'Fat Old Sun' and 'This Heaven'.
UPDATE, September 22nd: David's website advise that this is still going ahead, but as a tribute to Richard, 'Remember A Day' and 'The Blue' will be performed, and David will be chatting with Jools too.
Digital channel BBC4 TV will also have an hour from the Gdańsk concert on September 26th, along with 30 minutes from the documentary found on the concert DVD in the retail package. And, just to get you in the mood, the UK's Sky Arts channel this coming Saturday (September 6th) at 9pm has a condensed version of Remember That Night. To our US friends now, and September 22nd is the date you need to put in your diary. Around 106 US movie theatres will be screening a one-night-only big screen version of Live In Gdańsk on that day. We know that many of you enjoyed the similar screening for the Remember That Night release, so this is sure to be popular. Not least, the 108 minute presentation will include the audio-visual presentation of five songs not included on the Concert DVD with the live album.
More details will be available at www.TheBiggerPicture.us where you can also find a very nice trailer for the screenings... |
