"After Jackson's death in June 2009, Thriller set additional records. It sold more than 100,000 copies, placing it at number two on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. Songs from Thriller also helped Jackson become the first artist to sell more than one million song downloads in a week. According to Nielsen Soundscan, Thriller was the 14th best selling album of 2009 in the United States with 1.27 million copies sold." (Wikipedia)

PULSE is the absolute bee knees. It is also Gilmour's best Comfortably Numb solo by a long long way.

I've seen them a good few times, they do a great show.
Where are they playing this time?

Chelon · 24-01-2015 4:52pm

The Olympia. They are fantastic but for me the Olympia is just too small for such a spectacular gig. Even the Bord Gais was a bit small for Brit Floyd. The Point now that's a different story...

I saw them in the 02 once before too. It was something to behold alright.

Three concert videos and a half-hour documentary. Pretty poor showing. There's tonnes of Floyd footage / documentaries, from the Syd-era up, that could've been shown.

K.Flyer · 05-02-2015 12:10pm

Its a pity they don't show more of Syd.I know there is not a huge amount of material of him, but still, it should be as prominent as possible.

Agreed, but I'm in the glass half full mood at the moment.:D

Chelon · 10-02-2015 1:46am

Just finished watching (well fast fwding through...) the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert footage that was on Sky at the weekend.

I'd seen it before but forgotten just how awful it is...the preceding documentary wasn't great either.

Titzon Toast · 18-02-2015 1:01am

Great gig tonight. Gonna pay for it in the morning though, wish me luck...

eviltimeban · 18-02-2015 12:16pm

Ah DSOT isn't that bad... it was what it was, a tour of a giant 80s stadium rock band. That just happened to be Pink Floyd.

I remember having it on VHS (and cassette) and it was always on in someone's house. Personally I preferred Pompeii but DSOT had the "hits".

Looks impressive but was there any room for inflatables?

poundhound · 26-02-2015 12:51am

They had an inflatable kangaroo during "one of these days".
Inflatables are my least favourite part of an Australian Pink Floyd or Brit Floyd show.
Lasers on the other hand.....

My favourite album of all time but would I get strung up if I say the final track doesn't *quite* live up to the magnificence of the rest?

Terrible title. I'll buy it though.

Did you hear the album he did with the Orb? I was quite pleasantly surprised by that. I thought it would be endless noodling over soft beats. That was saved for the Endless River! :pac:

No, never got round to listening. Rattle that lock I imagine will be in the same vein as On an Island. Jools Holland, Nick Mason guesting with Phil Manzanera producing & playing.

My favorite album by a solo Floyd, but I won't be picking it up as my original gold cd is just as good now as it was 23 years ago.
I'm not expecting much in the Line of bonus material either as Rogers demos can be very meh!

rednik · 15-07-2015 4:04pm

David will be appearing on Radio 2 Chris Evans breakfast show on Friday morning where it is expected the title track will air for the first time, probably around 8:50am.

Heard a clip of Rattle That Lock - was an upbeat sort of track, nothing amazing.

poundhound · 15-07-2015 10:46pm

After "On an Island", I'll try and limit my expectations for this album, but I can't wait for the Royal Albert Hall on Sept 24th!

rednik · 16-07-2015 3:15pm

The new album will be released on Sept 18th and a small US tour has just been announced.

Its showing in selected cinemas on tues 29th September and is followed by a Q&A with Roger and Nick Mason.

That looks absolutely deadly.

K.Flyer · 25-07-2015 7:17pm

I see it is now being listed as a "Live Event" screening at Movies at Dundrum, Dublin starting at 8.00 pm on the 29th.

Roger Waters The Wall Live Event

LIVE EVENT BROADCAST:
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
For live content all start/intermission and finish times are approximate. Delays can be experienced and some level of audio and visual interference/interruptions can be an unforeseen possibility. Where/If advised by the broadcaster of possible issues we will alert the audience accordingly.

The film, with an exclusive "in conversation" with Roger Waters and Nick Mason, will have an unprecedented event cinema release across the world at 8.00pm local time on Tuesday September 29 this year. ROGER WATERS THE WALL, which had its World Premiere at last year's Toronto Film Festival, is an event film that unfolds on many levels – as an immersive concert experience of the classic Pink Floyd album, a road movie of Waters' reckoning with the past and as a stirring anti-war film, highlighting the human cost of conflict.

Great to see Fat Old Sun getting an airing again and of course always a nod to Syd with A.D.

sydthebeat · 06-09-2015 3:59am

5 am seems like a killer opening track.

If only there was an Irish show

rednik · 06-09-2015 10:26am

I have to say I am disappointed with that set list. I was hoping for a few songs from the first two albums and some Floyd that he hasn't played on his own. Dogs would be my preference, I have heard Wywh so many times that I am starting to dislike it. The highlight on the last tour was Echoes,I honestly don't see a highlight here if he sticks with this set.
