Written by Matt   
Friday, 26 May 2023

The first teaser video for a documentary about the recent The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Ningaloo Eclipse has been released. The event saw a specially constructed pyramid on a remote part of Australia (the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park - Nyinggulu), a selection of very lucky fans, and headphones playing the Atmos mix of the album, witness an eclipse with the album timed to finish as Roger Waters sang the iconic closing lines "But the sun is eclipsed by the moon…" from the album's final song Eclipse timed to align with the extraordinary moment of total eclipse.

As you'll see, the documentary is due to appear in September...

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains heading to Toronto, Canada! Print E-mail

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains arrives in Toronto, CanadaAnnounced this lunchtime: Toronto has been confirmed as the seventh location to host The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, the magnificent and critically acclaimed major retrospective of Pink Floyd, their music and the impact the band had on art and culture. Canada sees the exhibition remain on its shores having recently staged it in Montreal.

Following its hugely successful debut at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2017, which saw over 400,000 people attend, the exhibition has subsequently traveled to Italy, Germany, Spain and the United States attracting well over 500,000 people and will now take residency in the cultural hub of Toronto.

The Exhibition opens on Friday, June 16th, 2023, and is being held at the Better Living Centre at Exhibition Place in the city. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 26th at 10am EST. The Better Living Centre should be a good venue for the immersive experiential journey through Pink Floyd's world. The band played in Toronto a number of times, as have the individual members of the band on their solo tours. The exhibition normally runs for a while, and once we have the anticipated closing date, we will update this story.

"After a hugely successful run in Montreal this past year, it was time to bring The Pink Floyd Exhibition to Toronto to rock the summer," said Michael Cohl, Executive Producer of the exhibition and Canadian Promoter of Pink Floyd. "It's only fitting since Pink Floyd has such strong ties to the city, notably the sold-out 1987 shows that launched the next phase of their storied career. I am thrilled to be able to present this exhibition in my hometown where we can all celebrate Pink Floyd's legacy."

"Pink Floyd has an enduring history in Toronto starting with their premiere concert in 1973 at Maple Leaf Gardens; and having performed at Exhibition Stadium seven times during the 80s and 90s," said Darrell Brown, CNE CEO. "The CNE has a rich musical legacy, and we are honoured to be hosting this incredible retrospective on the grounds where many of their most memorable Toronto concerts took place. The CNEA is proud to be part of this extraordinary exhibition that brings the history and music of Pink Floyd in a new light."

To purchase tickets for the exhibition, and for more information, please visit PinkFloydExhibition.com and as before, advance booking is highly recommended as popular times and dates will no doubt sell quickly.

Ticket prices include the excellent audioguide which attendees to previous stagings of the exhibition will know is an extremely well designed facility which will really enhance your visit. Each day of operation the first entry is at midday (12pm) and evening tickets (normally after 6pm) are more expensive. There's also a VIP package available to purchase.

Here are the hours each week that you can visit the exhibition, of which you really need to allocate at least two hours to get around:

  • Monday: Closed
  • Tuesday – Thursday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
  • Friday – Saturday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
  • Sunday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)

Jokers Wild (with David Gilmour) tracks appear on Spotify Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 20 May 2023

An unusual pair of items have appeared today on Spotify and also Deezer (and maybe other streaming services too) - a pair of tracks from David Gilmour's early band Jokers Wild. You Don't Know Like I Know was one of a pair of songs, with That's How Strong My Love Is, that were recorded at Decca Studios in Hampstead in November 1965, and were produced by David and Dave Altham.

These two recordings are separate from the five track album (and 7" single) recorded shortly before, at Regent Sounds Studio in Denmark Street - that consisted of Why Do Fools Fall In Love?, Walk Like A Man, Don't Ask Me What I Say, Big Girls Don't Cry and Beautiful Delilah. All those tracks are fairly easy to find in various places, although originals (50 were pressed) are extremely scarce and pricey.

Here's both of the newly unearthed recordings:

 

We're not sure why there's so much blank space around each of the song players...which might only be on selected browsers anyway...
