Their Mortal Remains Exhibition Opens In Los Angeles

Don't miss out! The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains in Los Angeles

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains Opens In America For The First Time August 3rd 2021

The exhibition’s mammoth, described by national British newspapers as “stunning”, “a real feast for the senses” and “almost as good as seeing the band live”, was the most successful exhibition of its kind. The exhibition celebrates Pink Floyd’s place in history as the world’s cultural landscape changed throughout the 1960s and beyond. The band occupied a distinctive experimental space and was the foremost exponent of a psychedelic movement that changed the understanding of music forever, becoming one of the most important groups in contemporary music.

Pink Floyd have produced some of the most iconic imagery in popular culture: from pigs flying over Battersea Power Station, The Dark Side of the Moon prism, cows, and marching hammers to giant inflatable teachers; their vision was brought to life by creative individuals such as modern surrealist and long-time collaborator Storm Thorgerson, satirical illustrator Gerald Scarfe and psychedelic lighting pioneer Peter Wynne-Wilson.

The exhibition will open at the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Los Angeles August 3rd until November 30th 2021.

Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 Released Today

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

When Pink Floyd took the stage at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, England, on June 30, 1990, they had already mounted a hugely successful tour for their then-recent album, 1987’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

At the time, the tour was significant as it was the first one without Floyd’s founding bassist, co-singer and chief lyricist Roger Waters, who departed from the group in 1985. But any doubt of whether the rest of the band – guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright—could carry on without Waters was immediately squashed when Momentary peaked at number 3 on the Billboard charts, followed by a tour that lasted two years.

Pink Floyd‘s headlining appearance in front of 120,000 people at the star-studded Silver Clef Award Winners Knebworth show— which raised funds for the Nordoff Robbins charity—occurred on a day that also included performances by Paul McCartney; Dire Straits; Phil Collins; Tears for Fears; Robert Plant with Jimmy Page; Eric Clapton; and Cliff Richard. First released in 2019 as part of The Later Years boxed set, Pink Floyd’s entire set from that event, Live at Knebworth 1990, will finally be available as a standalone set (CD, double vinyl, digital) from Today

“There is something special about Knebworth,” recalled Mason of that event, according to a press statement announcing the release.“We all still have fond memories of playing there in the ‘70’s, and this show was no different. As a North London boy this was almost a home game, but with the added delight of being the re-assembly of the band after a fairly mega tour that had lasted for well over a year. It was also an opportunity to get the wonderful Candy Dulfer to play—I had been a fan of hers for quite a while, and it was just a shame we didn’t have an opportunity to utilise her for more. We also had our dear friend Michael Kamen guesting. Michael had contributed so much to PF over the previous ten years, it’s great to have something of his playing on the recording.”
