ha -- "Unprecedented Demand for New Syd Barrett Photos Crashes Website"Just a quick note to say thank you on behalf of Syd Barrett's family. They're absolutely delighted with the coverage they've received for the website launched to celebrate what would have been Syd's 70th birthday.
The response from fans all over the world has been so huge that the server hasn't been able to cope with demand. The tech team are currently transferring the site onto an alternate server and we're hoping that normal service will be resumed this afternoon.

oh shiii
Forty-five years after Pink Floyd played a historic show in Pompeii, Italy, that was captured on one of rock’s greatest concert movies, David Gilmour – the band’s guitarist and singer – will return for a pair of shows there this summer.
Pompeii Culture Minister Dario Franceschini (via Consequence of Sound) announced the concerts on Twitter today. The dates (July 7 and 8 at the Pompeii Amphitheatre) are part of Gilmour’s current tour, which started last year.
Pink Floyd famously shot Live at Pompeii in October 1971 without an audience. But they stuck to their touring set list of the time, which included epic versions of concert favorites “Echoes,” “One of These Days” and “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” (The movie played in theaters the following year.)
Gilmour released his latest solo album, Rattle That Lock, last year – his first since he announced that Pink Floyd were over. In 2014, the band put out The Endless River, an LP made up of session outtakes from 1994’s The Division Bell. The album was completed as a tribute of sorts to keyboardist Richard Wright, who died in 2008.

I know this is the PINK FLOYD RULES thread and not the Art Linkletter thread, BUT
The kids and I are in the car, talking about planetariums. I bring up Pink Floyd, and how they're good for laser shows because they've got stuff like airport terminal sounds with a steady beat. Talking up their theatrical edge, I mention Pompeii and even The Wall shows. "It was about a man who was feeling bad that he put up a wall where no one could talk to him anymore."
I mention the shows where as they're playing the stagehands build a wall between them and the audience so by the end, you couldn't see the band playing anymore - just this gigantic wall. "But at the end, for the finale, they tear the wall down, the pieces go everywhere and you can see the man singing again."
Six-year-old boy thinks for a moment from the backseat and then says, "You mean like the Kool-Aid Man?"

Like, I've never seen King Lear on stage, but if I ever do, I'm going to have some uncanny deja vu when they get to the "Sit you down, Father. Rest you." part.
