This evening, from 6:30pm BST (UK time), a Stand Up For Palestine concert takes place, with Yusuf (Cat Stevens) Islam, rapper Lowkey, and Roger Waters, amongst those taking part. It is being webcast from a secret location, which is a small church in London. There is no indication of when during the show that Roger will be appearing, if he will have any other musicians with him, or what he will be performing. You can watch the show via the following:
Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill 2022 North America tour (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2020-tour-zone/index.php) took place last night (July 6th) at the Pittsburgh PPG Paints Arena. This followed what we hear was a dress rehearsal at Bryce Jordan Center, University Park, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 2nd. Last night saw an enthralled crowd in Pittsburgh taking in the music, in a diverse and interesting set list, the spectacle, and the occasion itself. First nights are always fun, with everyone being in the same boat in terms of no knowledge of what is going to happen and when. Initial reports are that the show was quite an experience, but as always, we value your first hand views on all the concerts – so if you went, please let us know your thoughts! The Pittsburgh show page (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2020-tour-zone/july-8th-ppg-paints-arena-pittsburgh-pa-usa.html) has the full set list if you want to check out what was played – what mix of older and newer songs was there? What was the ratio of old Pink Floyd stuff against Roger’s solo material? Any new songs? The answers can be found here (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2020-tour-zone/july-8th-ppg-paints-arena-pittsburgh-pa-usa.html), hidden from immediate view as we normally do, so for those who accidentally go on the page, who don’t want to see it, they don’t! We’ve also got some great pictures (already!) which we’re adding to the page; if you have any contributions – a review, brief comments, or pictures – we’d love to see them! Please drop us a line at the normal address: Matt@Brain-Damage.co.uk (mailto:matt@brain-damage.co.uk?subject=BD%20contribution).
PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/) – is focused on Pink Floyd’s post-1983 activity, with an “additional focus on, and an expansive view of, the studio and touring musicians associated with them.” Ed notes that “The idea is to provide a resource that spans Pink Floyd’s ‘David Gilmour era’, from the departure of Roger Waters through today. This period set the stage for the longest era in the band’s history and for each band member’s most prolific work outside the band itself.” To coincide with the launch of the site, there are new interviews with The McBroom Sisters (Pink Floyd backing vocalists), Bjørn Riis (vocalist and guitarist for Norwegian band Airbag and publisher of Gimourish.com), Scott Page (Pink Floyd saxophonist and rhythm guitar player), and with Jon Carin (of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour) in a piece titled A History and Anatomy of Yet Another Movie. With photography by Marie Lopez and artwork by Ahmed Emad Eldin, designer of the album cover for Pink Floyd’s The Endless River, the site is well worth visiting, at PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/), and we wish Ed all the very best with it!
