With Roger Waters' 2006 summer tour
of Europe starting in exactly two weeks time, we learnt this evening
that his friend and former Pink Floyd colleague Nick Mason has been
added to a third full show!
Nick has been added to the
Reykjavik, Iceland concert on June 12th, to go with his appearances at
the concerts being held in Hyde Park, London (July 1st) and
Magny-Cours, Nevers, France (July 14th). He is scheduled to play drums
on all of the 1973 classic, Dark Side Of The Moon, and the encores.
The promoter of the Icelandic
concert tells us that tickets sales are doing well, with area "A" at
the venue almost sold out. The news of Nick's inclusion will no doubt
ensure that remaining tickets sell quickly. They can be obtained
through www.midi.is.
Nick's first outing with Roger this time around actually occurs
tomorrow evening, when they take part in the benefit concert at
Highclere Castle
in Newbury, Berkside in the UK countryside. However, Roger and Nick
appear as part of a star-studded bill (which includes the likes of Eric
Clapton, Bryan Ferry, and others) and it will not be a full length
performance. We will be bringing you full details of the show, of
course...
Our thanks to Finn (the promoter) for his help in bringing this information to you.
