David Gilmour - EPK (Live At Pompeii 2016 Part 3)

David Gilmour gave hints about his next project while talking about his new Live at Pompeii collection.

In a new online trailer for the concert film, the Pink Floyd guitarist reveals he’s got a batch of songs that didn’t make Rattle That Lock, which he was touring behind when the film was shot. He says, “There are several songs that are close to being complete, which didn’t make it onto this album. I can’t see myself doing another tour with making another album first, and that takes me awhile. It took 10 years last time, and I’m really hoping — without making any promises — that it won’t take 10 years this time, that I’ll get back in and start working again. And following that, I’ll be out again.”

Live at Pompeii will be shown in theaters on September 13th and then released in multiple formats on September 29th.

Pink Floyd : Their Mortal Remains Exhibition Extended For 2 Weeks

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

The V&A’s blockbuster Pink Floyd show is one of the museum’s most popular exhibitions ever, with around 10,000 visitors a week passing through the doors.

The show, Their Mortal Remains, has attracted 300,000 people already and its run
has now been extended by a fortnight to October 15th

It is likely to be even more popular than the 2013 David Bowie show, which was seen by 312,000 visitors in London before it embarked on a world tour.

Their Mortal Remains is also likely to go abroad.

It follows the career of the band, whose hit albums include The Wall and The Dark Side of the Moon, from playing dingy London clubs to selling out stadiums around the world.

Pink Floyd have sold more than 250 million records since their 1967 debut, despite line-up changes which saw original frontman Syd Barrett, who died in 2006, fall victim to drug addiction and keyboard player Rick Wright and songwriter Roger Waters walk out at different times, before drummer and guitarist Nick Mason and David  Gilmour called it a day.

Its surviving members have all given the show their blessing and went through their personal archives to  provide exhibits including guitars, costumes and handwritten lyrics.

One of the band’s psychedelic lightshows is recreated on-site and the museum has installed a version of The Wall’s stage set complete with a giant inflatable schoolteacher.

The V&A’s Victoria Broackes, who helped curate the show, said it had been “a massive collaboration” with the band. She added: “That combination of authentic staging, amazing sound, rock ’n’ roll spectacle and the V&A has really shone through in the success of the exhibition, and the popularity with not just fans but with a diverse audience of all ages.”

A 2015 retrospective of the work of fashion designer Alexander McQueen is the V&A’s most popular show yet, selling 480,000 tickets and forcing bosses to open through the night.
