Barryd999 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Good for him. I played in a session band in Ireland with Roger Waters in a pub on Lough Derg in my early twenties, just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah admire what he did on that though having watched a documentary on PF, could see how he and Dave Gilmour were never going to get on. Waters came over as very assertive and Dave Gilmour is the absolute opposite. Also have Nick Masons book which is an interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeco Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 "Into the red" is a book cowritten by Nick Mason about his performance car collection. The book is supplied with a CD of sixteen tracks featuring the sounds of some of his collection. For the F1 enthusiasts among you the BRM V16 Mk2 recorded at Donnington is one of the finest sounds ever to reach my ears - truely awesome.cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nick Mason book i have is "Inside Out", 1st edition in hardback which is a history of Pink Floyd. I think you will know of The Australian Pink Floyd Show? If you like PF stuff and haven't seen the Oz band....definitely recommend going as they're absolutely brilliant. That good, Dave Gilmours wife arranged for them to play at Dave's 50th birthday bash. They are also the only cover band to have done a world tour. BBC screened an excellent documentary with Dave Gilmour in 2015 called Wider Horizons. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

Violet1956 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Being a big fan of David Gilmour I formed a dim view of Roger Waters but his efforts on this count deserve our admiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise regards the two within their professional careers (chalk 'n cheese characters) but i agree, admire what he did on helping get those two brothers to safety.
