Even een dingetje aansluitend aan het David Gilmour en Roger Waters verhaal, maar meer misschien het Pink Floyd dingetje...
Een reünie tussen Gilmour en Waters is ver te zoeken, maar deze 'hommage' aan Pink Floyd valt me wel op...
Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here Symphonic
Regulars to the
Brain Damage Facebook page will have seen three teaser videos this week, all relating to a new release coming from the Decca record label, on February 5th, 2016.
Marking over
40 years of Pink Floyd's seminal album Wish You Were Here, Decca are releasing the first ever symphonic reworking of the classic record. The release has an interesting musician line-up, featuring
Alice Cooper,
Rick Wakeman, the London Orion Orchestra and
Stephen McElroy and
Dave Fowler from Australian Pink Floyd. Cooper takes on vocal duties on classic tracks such as 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Welcome to the Machine,' with Rick Wakeman on keyboards. Wish You Were Here Symphonic was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the same studios where Pink Floyd recorded the original album.
Wish You Were Here Symphonic will be performed live in London and Birmingham in February next year, with
Frank Dunnery, guitarist from 80s rock band It Bites and long-time collaborator with
Robert Plant, playing guitar. More dates are also set to be announced, with international dates and
festival appearances on the horizon.
