Roger Waters to appear on Conan

Posted December 14, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters will appear on the “Conan” show tomorrow, Dec. 15.

He’ll be one of three guests along with actress Amy Adams (“Enchanted,” “Julie & Julia,” “Doubt”) and indie band Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

The show’s Web site promises Waters “will be here to talk about just what ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ was really all about. (Hint: If you play it while watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ things get real trippy.)”

Waters’ last appearance on American TV was “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” May 5.

Hosted by Conan O’Brien, “Conan” is on TBS at 11 p.m. EST.

Early Floyd concert recording found

Posted December 10, 2010 by Floydian Slip

What might be the only surviving complete recording of a Pink Floyd concert from 1967 was recently discovered, according to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (News of the Day).

The recording, made at Stockholm’s Golden Circle restaurant/music club on Sept. 10, 1967, reportedly includes the band’s sound-check along with its 50-minute gig.

It’ll be played for the public at two events to be held at the Golden Circle on May 3 and 7, 2011.

A Floyd cover band is scheduled to open the festivities, which include a special menu with dishes named as Floyd puns and specially-designed mannequins standing in for the original band members.

The recording was made by a Swedish recording engineer who, so far, has chosen to remain anonymous, according to Dagens Nyheter, to avoid the inevitable barrage of interest from Floyd fans.
