“Believe me or not, we are nearly there with the release of this album. Its been a long wait hampered by some health problems, and other fun stuff, such as a track, that Richard and I started in 1984, along with all the others. I remember this one very well and so have re-created it for the new version of the Identity album. That is all I will say at the moment as the details will be in the album booklet.. its a short teaser, but I hope you feel the vibe of the song, It means a lot to me…….Dave x”

David Gilmour will be a guest on NPR Music’s World Cafe discussing his performaces at The Amphitheatre of Pompeii in July 2016 as part of his Rattle That Lock Tourand the upcoming cinematic release of David Gilmour : Live At Pompeii
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. More information on the upcoming release can be found in our dedicated section by clicking here
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.
The new issue of the UK’s Mojo Magazine (cover date October 2017, issue number 287) includes – apart from some major coverage of David Grohl – an extensive Live at Pompeii feature with contributions by David Gilmour and Guy Pratt.
“In the october edition of Mojo magazine Last year David Gilmour returned to Pompeii – previously the scene of Pink Floyd’s 1971 cinematic tour de force. As his performance of that show nears release, the man himself presents a selection of shots, captioning them exclusively in this edition of MOJO, while his fellow band member Guy Pratt re-lives the entire adventure.”
“We were looking around and making suggestions for new places to play in the summeer of 2015 we had done a number of lovely venues, some of which were beautiful Roman ampitheatres. Someone said, ‘Hey, why don’t we try for Pompeii again’ We doubted that they’d allow it, but we thought we’d give it a go”
The magazine is in UK stores now, and will be available in selected locations worldwide as an import, in due course. Alternatively, you can buy it online through this link.
