On the 25th November 2022 we broke the news that Roger Waters was preparing to release the much talked about ‘Lockdown Sessions‘ that were recorded remotely during the Covid-19 global pandemic.
We are pleased to confirm that a release date has been set for Friday 9th December 2022.
With a release date announced for the 9th December, Roger Waters has posted the news of his “Lockdown Sessions,” which were recorded between 2020 and 2022 during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Various songs were recorded and posted on Rogers’ official YouTube channel, including “Two Suns In The Sunset And The Gunners Dream” from Pink Floyd’s 1983 The Final Cut album, “Mother, Vera, and Bring The Boys Back Home” from 1979’s Pink Floyd The Wall, and a new arrangement of “The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range” from Rogers’ 1992 Amused To Death album and the new version of the recently released This Is Not A Drill Tour’s “Comfortably Numb”.
Whilst these songs were initially released on Rogers official YouTube and Facebook platforms during the pandemic all material has been remixed and remastered for this standalone release.
Fans can stream this via Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Prime, Deezer and all other streaming services from midnight 8th December and digital download versions can be bought via Highresaudio.com by Clicking Here
Roger Waters has announced that he is taking his critically acclaimed This Is Not a Drill tour on the road again in 2023.
The full schedule has now been announced.
For this edition of Brain Damage, The doctor explores other instances where Roger Waters took some creative license. It’s a fully loaded Roger podcast as he was the biggest offender of reworking his own songs since he went solo.
Donovan has released a collaboration with David Gilmour, “Rock Me,” in anticipation of a new album, “Gaelia,” set to arrive 2nd December.
“I met up with David at Lord Michael and Lady Marina Cowdray’s country estate,” Donovan says. “These two dear, noble friends of Linda and mine were holding amazing salons where the most futuristic creatives in music and awareness would gather. Soon Linda and I were headed with Michael and Marina and His Holiness the Tibetan Gylwang Drukpa of Ladakh up into the Himalayas to found a school in Ladakh. But back to the salon.”
“That night at Marina’s,” he continues, “David and I chatted about how he had bought my cottage in the ’60s when I married Linda and moved on. Why, I asked? He said my album track ‘Three Kingfishers,’ off my ‘Sunshine Superman’ album of 1966, had launched him in a celestial music direction, and so when I was selling my cottage, where so many of my songs were written, he wanted to be in my creative space. Makes sense in a Floyd sort of way,” he notes.
“David had already learned to fly (he wrote a song about it, too ) and flew himself in to Ireland for the session. David brought his guitar roadie, who set up two amps in the studio, handed David his pink Strat, and his unique signature sound enthralled us all.”
Donovan further describes the single as “another acoustic-rock fusion of mine, which opens acoustic, like ‘Hurdy Gurdy Man,’ then morphs into power guitar. It is said that Jimmy Page took note when John Paul Jones and I made the ‘Hurdy Gurdy Man’ recording, and soon a session guys band was born,” he notes, referring to Led Zeppelin.
“Gaeilia” is an album populated by a cast of musicians that Donovan describes as “my traditional Irish music friends, and two guests from England,” i.e., co-producer Nigel Kennedy and Gilmour. “Yet,” he points out, “Kennedy is of course a Gaelic name, and Gilmour is an anglicization of the Gaelic names ‘MacGille Mhoire’ (Scotland), or ‘MacGiolla Mhuire’ (Ireland).”
The song can be streamed on all major DSPs here. The forthcoming album can be pre-saved here, as well as purchased at the singer’s webstore.
Roger Waters Announces Lock Down Sessions Release And Potential New Album
In a recent interview Roger Waters joins The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil, and Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi to discuss his politically charged “This Is Not A Drill” world tour and the creative process behind his pandemic-era ballad, “The Bar.“
Within this interview, Roger discusses that there will be a new physical and streaming release of his “Lockdown Sessions,” which were recorded between 2020 and 2022 during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Various songs were recorded and posted on Rogers’ official YouTube channel, including “Two Suns In The Sunset And The Gunners Dream” from Pink Floyd’s 1983 The Final Cut album, “Mother, Vera, and Bring The Boys Back Home” from 1979’s Pink Floyd The Wall, and a new arrangement of “The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range” from Rogers’ 1992 Amused To Death album. According to the latest interview, the new version of the recently released This Is Not A Drill Tour’s “Comfortably Numb” arrangement will also be included, the album is currently being mastered, and a physical and streaming release date has yet to be announced.
Further to the lockdown sessions was an interesting passing announcement that a new album is being worked on entitled “The Bar,” which is centred around a brand new song of the same name that currently features in the set-list for the current This Is Not A Drill 2022/2023 tour. In comments made as part of the interview, “Crystal Clear Brooks,” which debuted at the Newport Folk Festival in 2015, and an unreleased song co-written with Patrick Leonard many years ago could be included. A brief description of the concept was given as “If only we could get central people to talk about things, we could sort this mess out in a heartbeat.”
We will, of course, bring you more information on these planned releases as more information becomes available.
