In a new promo video for his upcoming “Live at Pompeii” film, David Gilmour suggests a new album and tour may be in his future.
“There are several songs that are close to being complete, which didn’t make it onto this album,” he says, referring to 2015’s “Rattle That Lock.”
“(But) I can’t see myself doing another tour with making another album first, and that takes me a while. It took 10 years last time, and I’m really hoping — without making any promises — that it won’t take 10 years this time, that I’ll get back in and start working again. And following that, yeah, I’ll be out again.”
“David Gilmour Live at Pompeii” shows at cinemas across the world one night only, Wednesday, Sept. 13.
The performance will be released as a 2-CD set, Blu-ray disc, 2-DVD set, Blu-ray and CD deluxe edition boxset, and 4-LP set on Friday, Sept. 29.
Any chance you may visit New Zealand this time? Dickwit Waters will be here in a few months. I have no desire to see him, but like I did in Cleveland and at The Ohio State University three decades (really that long?) ago, I would pay to see you in Auckland.
Feel free to crash at our place. We have a big spare bed but a really nice sofa too. You and Nick can arm-wrestle for the bed. Or share. It really is a big bed.
Hey.. while your so close David, you and Polly could pop over to Australia. I know you would be pleased at the welcome you would get from all of us down here.. and Polly would love the scenery of both countries.. make for some brilliant photos…
It’s been a long, long time between drinks mate, Feb 1988 A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour was the concert I saw after travelling 1675.1 km’s by bus, arriving the morning of the gig.. I was much younger and very keen, you see I had made a pact with a close friend in Floyd that if you guys ever came here again, no matter how far apart we were, we would meet up see you together, And We Did!! So brilliant!! So thankful..
ps. Saw the worldwide cinema event and purchased Pompeii it is fantastico 🙂
