Their last UK gig before retirement? Mater was there.

The term Directors Cut is so abused as to be almost meaningless now. It used to be a specific edit in the editing process. Some people use it to mean a version different from the first theatre release, closer to the director's intended outcome. Some people use it for extended mixes that the director never had any further input into at all.

The Wicker Man is an example


It was originall longer then cut severely for the US release

This became the "master copy" until original footage was found and an almost complete original restored

It has faults in that the original footage was in s different format so the colours change with the added footage

There is a symphonic version of Wish you were here that I have at home that feaures the London Philharmonic, Rick Wakeman on Keyboards and vocals by Alice Cooper

I'm a huge PF fan, but I probably won't be going to the V&A. I'm interested in their music, not the artwork, visuals, and so on. I can (and do) listen to their music anytime, but do I really want the awful hassle and expense of getting into London, then across London, to see the visual stuff (presumably with a few audio clips)? The BBC News piece on this the other day was terribly uninspiring, so unless someone raves about how wonderful it is, this is an exhibition I'll probably give a miss.

Only yesterday I was walking through Grantchester Meadows.
I could almost hear the screech of Roger Waters fingers sliding up and down the round wound guitar strings.
Ummagumma is one of my favourite albums ..

It's a pity as the Pink Floyd site 'Brain Damage' has an interesting piece on it. It's probably a one -off, so treat yourself
