Pink Floyd- Endless River- David Gilmour, Nick Mason

My revelatory interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason aboard Pink Floyd’s floating studio on the Thames River in 2014 were regarding the surprise album so far of the 21st century, Pink Floyd’s The Endless River. This is the fascinating back story of a “final ” musical statement, 1994’s The Division Bell,  which was never intended to be the superstar progressive rock band’s last word, as told by Pink Floyd singer/ guitarist/ composer David Gilmour and percussionist Nick Mason, and featuring historic final performances by Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright , who passed away in September 2008.

The backwaters of The Endless River  saga run deep and the tributaries feeding it are many, and Gilmour and Mason do a very comprehensive job here in my classic rock  interview detailing the many heroes at the headwaters who are responsible for the first Pink Floyd new studio release in the 21st century. The Endless River peaked at #1 sales in the UK, #3 in the States and has sold over two and a half million copies. –Redbeard
