The end of the year – Pink Floyd related activities wrap-up
With the end of the year looming, it’s a good time to look back at what 2024 gave us. There’s been a lot of different releases that we’ve all experienced over the months, and it is interesting to look back at what there’s been in a busy year. In March there was the Mark Knopfler’s Guitar Heroes release of Going Home (Theme From Local Hero), which included David Gilmour amongst around 60 musicians. April saw the lovely looking crystal clear vinyl of The Dark Side Of The Moon, with UV artwork. Later that month, Roger Waters released a picture disc of his Redux version of TDSOTM as part of Record Store Day. May brought us the Animals 2018 Remix on Blu-ray and on digital platforms, bringing the 1977 album to life in multi channel gloriousness. This was presented with new artwork from the launch of the Animals 2018 remix, showing how Battersea Power Station is used these days for such promotions. June saw the start of the 35-date Set The Controls tour from Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, thrilling audiences in the UK and Europe, and getting better and better as a band. Let’s hope that there’s more next year! The DVD, Blu-ray and digital release of Have You Got It Yet? The Story Of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd was released in July, following the 2023 cinema screenings. Of course, in September, we saw the release of the hotly anticipated Luck And Strange from David Gilmour, which was accompanied from later that month with live shows in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, Los Angeles and New York, USA. Dates in Rome were filmed with the aim to release at some point, and once we have details of that, we’ll let you know! David also contributed a guitar solo for Ice-T’s band Body Count on their cover version of Comfortably Numb (a very unexpected collaboration!). David’s team have also edited together footage from each city of the tour to construct a live version of The Piper’s Call, released as a pre-Christmas treat. Finally, to conclude the year, there’s been another release of a bunch of live Pink Floyd concerts to be found on platforms such as Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0k17h0D3J5VfsdmQ1iZtE9?si=jRkN8zT1TqWovrf0sObizw) for a limited period. There’s thirteen gigs in total, all from 1974, and definitely worth checking out…
