It has just been announced that next month, on April 30th, 2021, Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 will be released for the first time on CD, 180g heavyweight double vinyl LP, and digital platforms. The concert was part of the star-studded 1990 Silver Clef Award Winners performance at Knebworth House, in Hertfordshire, England, headlined by the Floyd. The concert, in front of around 120,000 fans, was a fundraiser for the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Charity, and also included Paul McCartney, Genesis, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Cliff Richard The Shadows, Elton John, Status Quo, Tears For Fears, and Robert Plant Jimmy Page. The Floyd set was performed by the touring line-up of the late 1980s, with a slight change to the vocalists – joining Durga McBroom was Sam Brown, her mother Vicki, and Clare Torry (original vocalist for The Great Gig In The Sky, resuming her role for this show, three years after doing the same for Roger Waters at his pair of 1987 Wembley Arena gigs). Saxophonist Candy Dulfer and keyboard player Michael Kamen also joined the band for this one-off show. The audio has been remixed by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson, and following its appearance in 2019’s The Later Years box set, is now available on CD or double vinyl for the first time as a standalone album. Nick Mason looked back at the concert, and remarked: “There is something special about Knebworth. We all still have fond memories of playing there in the 70’s, and this show was no different. As a North London boy this was almost a home game, but with the added delight of being the re-assembly of the band after a fairly mega tour that had lasted for well over a year. It was also an opportunity to get the wonderful Candy Dulfer to play - I had been a fan of hers for quite a while, and it was just a shame we didn’t have an opportunity to utilise her for more. We also had our dear friend Michael Kamen guesting. Michael had contributed so much to PF over the previous ten years, it’s great to have something of his playing on the recording.” To order either physical edition, you can do so from the following Amazon stores (thus helping Brain Damage with a much needed contribution towards site running costs, at no extra cost to you!): Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 – 2LP 180g double vinyl: Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08Y4HCFYV/braindamage-21)Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08X7W9J2J/braindamage-20)

A quick alert for – principally – those of you in the UK. If you find yourself with little to do on Friday morning, especially with the current Covid restrictions, you could do worse than tune in to the Sky Arts television channel (now available on Freeview channel 11, as well as through other providers including Sky and Virgin Media). From 11:30am until 12:00pm, there’s a special show called “Auction” which takes a look at the sale back in June 2019 which raised a staggering $21.5million for the ClientEarth charity. The programme description simply notes: “The huge personal guitar collection of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour comes to Christie’s – including the black Fender Stratocaster that featured on many of the band’s records.” Whatever the show covers, should be worth tuning in where possible (or setting your recorders if you can’t watch it on broadcast). Sky and Now TV customers can also watch Sky Arts shows on demand afterwards. Our thanks to Andy Finn for letting us know about this programme.

As you'll no doubt be aware, legendary drummer Mick Fleetwood enlisted an all-star cast for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind concert, in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, which was held on Tuesday, February 25th at London's Palladium – shortly before Covid-19 affected life everywhere, and resulted in lockdowns in many countries. The bill for Mick Fleetwood Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green And The Early Years Of Fleetwood Mac, included Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher, Pete Townshend, Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett and many more. Legendary producer Glyn Johns joined as the executive sound producer and the house band featured Fleetwood himself along with Andy Fairweather Low, Dave Bronze and Ricky Peterson. Very sadly, five months after the concert, Peter passed away. For those who weren't able to attend the concert, three different editions were announced for release – a Super Deluxe Edition Box Set, with the entire show on 4LP, 2CD and a Blu-ray in a book (and copies ordered early included your choice of name in the concert documentary credits, a reproduction signed concert poster, and reproduction signed set list); a Blu-ray and 2CD set; and a 4LP set. These were originally slated for release on October 16th, 2020, but with Covid-19 affecting the production of the release, this has now been postponed to April 30th, 2021. You can still order the Super Deluxe Edition exclusively through Townsend Music's online store (https://mfaf.tmstor.es/?utm_source=sendinblue utm_campaign=MAIN__WC_240220__Artist_Stores_Mailer utm_medium=email%22). To order the other editions, you can either get them from Townsend’s store, or from the following Amazon stores (thus helping Brain Damage with a much needed contribution towards site running costs, at no extra cost to you!): MICK FLEETWOOD FRIENDS – Blu-ray & 2CD: Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM3/braindamage-21) Germany (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM3/braindamage0f-21) France (http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM3/braindamageon-21) Italy (http://www.amazon.it/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM3/bradamonl-21) Spain (http://www.amazon.es/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM3/braidama01-21) MICK FLEETWOOD FRIENDS – 4LP: Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM4/braindamage-21) Germany (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM4/braindamage0f-21) France (http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM4/braindamageon-21) Italy (http://www.amazon.it/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM4/bradamonl-21) Spain (http://www.amazon.es/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NRXFSM4/braidama01-21) It is not available to order from Amazon.com or Amazon Canada. We suspect the Blu-ray won’t have any region coding on it though, so we think you should be fine to order if you aren’t in one of the countries above. We’ll try and get confirmation of this though. Plans were also in place for cinema screenings in early June this year, but again, these were impossible. March 23rd, 2021 is the revised date when you'll be able to watch the concert on the big screen. More details of this should be available soon via mickfleetwoodandfriends.com (https://mickfleetwoodandfriends.com/). Finally, here’s the official trailer for the release, including footage from the concert:
