PINK FLOYD 1993 Press Conference
London, UK
November 30th, 1993

I love Rick’s response to the weekly wage question. NO I AM NOT ON A WAGE…he then goes on to say Division Bell is better than Momentary Lapse because he was involved from the start. I totally agree. GO Rick!!
Another PF Fact : They did not have any contact with Syd, but Gilmour actually made sure that he got his royalties. Good guy David.
Yes what a lovely thing to do
"Hi, did you deliver Syds cheque?" Thats not actually THAT hard to do, considering you just took the guys job. By the time of Wish you Were Here none of them even knew what Syd looked like. But yeah, up until the nineties when he started making snarky comments about Nick then he seems like a decent guy. He looks like a geography teacher here.
He also produced Syd's first solo album, which as you would guess was not an easy thing to do. I always like his humility, when he admits when Roger was right about something musically. When the person is as abrasive as Roger, it must be kind of galling.
David is really good man and friend for Syd and Rick. Love this guy very much
Isn't that what managers are for ?
I saw a great interview where David stated he’d made sure that Syd got every dime due to him.
R.I.P Ricard Wright- virtuoso, the best rock keyboardist.
Evil
Virtuoso? The best? May be you have not heard about Keith Emerson (R.I.P.), Rick Wakeman or Tony Banks, right?
@@vickycortez2644 No never heard of them lmao
indeed vicky, Richard Wright is absolutely NOT a virtuoso, in fact I think that Jon Carin did the most during their live performances
Booo all of them suck Rick on top
loving Dave's facial expressions like "OMG is this the best level of questions they can come up with!"
Haha.... I noticed that too. Those are terrible questions.
@@michaelgarcia2050 not much vibe in this room..
These three gentlemen exude humility. It's always a pleasure to watch them being interviewed.
Humility, politeness, restraint and common sense, if I may add. (Not typical qualities of your typical Rock star...)
~ Wouldn't be the case if Waters was still with them.
@@5jerry1 Gilmour and Mason recording that song with the Ucranian guy and calling themselves Pink Floyd is very humble, yeah!
@@perbes100 ~ Waters assuming control over the band's name he didn't that he didn't create. "Very humble, yeah!"
@@mancebo7it is when you're english
Thing is, David is brighter and quicker than 99% of the people asking him questions.
Thats not hard, but be aware that 99% of those asking questions are people from journalism school who can't believe they can't get a real job and have to ask celebrities idiotic questions.
Welcome to the machine...
Respect...Richard...Forever.
12:30 someone asks a good question.
Rick proves he is Pink Floyd sound.
Great to see Gilmour, Nick and Rick together! Rick, what a talented in person, keyboard monster and great musician! 🎹🎹🎹
Rick is so handsome
He's got a lovely smile here too. RIP.
David too
Gilmour is a cold executor when he answers to the journalists!!! And personally I fancy that!!!
+denooraM Dave is perfect. I love to hear when he speaks I love his English
He is spectacular in dealing with these hacks...
Same here.😊
Absolutely
12.01, Not on a weekly Saraly, not Salary, twice, apart from that I LOVE THIS GUY TO BITS!!!!!!,Great keyboard improvisation as well, R.I.P Richard.
Nick looks like he just woke up. I love him!
...............downside of cocaine I’m afraid!
@@dreadpirateroberts4052 haha you do not know rick
@@stevenll6279 ~ Rick or Nick?
Wow, The Orb question was spot on considering their colllaboration 20 years later.
Just Gilmour collaborated though..
I had the great joy to see their concert in Gothenburg in august 1994.
that was amazing concert..!
never knew this even existed, thanks for uploading
millions of fans would die to be there, and these journalists are asking clueless questions.
You are absolutly right
Just stupid questions
Nothing about Pink Floyd spirit and musical experience.
Maybe 12:30
yep so boring, complete waste of time
The question around 10:00 about musical direction...Perfect answer from David. At least in regards to how I view music.
great to see David, Rick and Nick together
13:50 the sweetest laugh i've ever heard🤗❤
Thank you for posting this. I remember only seeing a small portion of this on Muchmusic here in Canada when the concert was announced that year. The 1994 Pulse concert at the CNE stadium in Toronto was the greatest concert I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a few. I saw the July 5th opening night with seats right in front of the mixing decks.
"Where have ya been-?
It's alright, we *know* where you been...."
"There's no way out of here. When you come in, you're in for good." Dave's solo's albums are great and not known well enough.
An answwwwwerrrrr
I've only recently come to understand how talented, great and awesome David Gilmour truly is as a solo artist. He is one of the greatest guitarists, and I love his voice. The guy can sing and play!!! 🎸
~ You're. * And he didn't write that song.
@@5jerry1 Who wrote it? BTW, You missed 3 other mistakes teacher. Better luck next time.
@@immrnoidall Is yer search engine broke??
Wow, new infos to know: Nick is the Godfather of Water's child
loved Rick's answers!!
hello magasine, what an honour!!
in the middle of the video I thought that was a TV Show, consisting on people asking questions to PF, I would pay for that 2 hours of stupid typical questions to PF and ironical answers from them. Magic.
1:19 Richard is thinking ''fuck off, stop asking stupid questions''!
i can not understand all words, because i dont speak english well, but is enough for me to take look at this 3 guys and just look and hear only the voices!
Three rock gods in one table.
8:18 Sadly, it was the last tour!
satchfan2010 2005 tho
Nicolas G. Ah yes but that was a reunion tour playing classic hits with Roger in it because it was for charity and had been 40 years since their first recordings (not Pipers). The real Floyd only consisted of Wright, Mason and Gilmour within the 11 year gap between 1994 and 2005, going back even further, it would be 17 years since the lineup began without Roger. Roger was there for charity and the fans. Roger wasn’t Floyd since December 1985.
Another hint that it wasn’t an official tour, was that they didn’t support the Momentary Lapse of Reason album and The Division Bell Album. Their hits were from 1973-1979. 1983 was a crap year for Floyd. Nice songs but not previous Floyd quality.
@@zakramsey3508 They played plenty of music from the division bell. Classic band played the new stuff as well as old music. Not sure why you'd consider it a "reunion" tour. I remember the time very well and they were promoting the shit out of the division bell in 94
I bet if Waters was there, he would definitely spit on some of the audience.
Oh come on, ONCE. He did it ONCE. XD
"Who was trained not to spit in the fan..."
If Roger was here it would only be him there, he would be in full control of every question
Literally the dumbest thing I’ve read in a very long time
This Pink Floyd press conference to talk about the new Studio Album that was already ready to be released was really cool, but the only thing I as an unconditional fan I didn’t like it, because journalists and reporters were asking Masters David Gilmour and Nick Mason more questions, and they didn’t speak or ask Master Richard Wright much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0:30 you can really hear her go "Christ, did I just say that?!" in the way she finishes up that joke at the beginning.
Probably just had to read what was written for her by corporate, and a paycheck's a paycheck, so I don't really blame her.
I don't think these guys realize who they are how much of an impact they have on people with their music.
The most complete is the one who last forever.
You actually got to this before I could on my other account. It's a shame I couldn't get to it before you did. Cudos to you all the same. It would have been interesting if they did another album and tour after TDB in '94.
Dave the best of Guitar!!.
pink floyd would never want corporate sponsorship
Hugh Jones they probably didnt own Pink Floyd anymore and we’re forced to do it
@Hugh Jones the size of that production rig is the reason why they needed a sponsorship. Probably a half a million dollars a day to run that tour. Even on off nights
Scott Burns After the concert at Earl’s Court we got talking to a guy who worked putting up the lights and he told us that the huge mirror ball tulip cost half a million pounds, if I remember correctly Carlsberg were sponsoring the tour also
@@scottburns5376 i saw a doc about the tour and they said its a 150,000 in just chains to hoist everything from the rafters that needed hoisted up
David, aquele homem que sempre admirei❤❤❤ rosto angelical e uma pessoa tranquila.
Sempre lindo, hoje com 78 anos de idade.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great to see and thanks for uploading. Sad really, didn't they have a major financial problem with a dodgy accountant a few years before this? Hence why this happened? They upset Volkswagen I gather by not allowing anything inside the arenas, only outside and in the end gave all the money from them to charity. Disappointing though, as felt at the time.
all they forgot to ask was: 'oh by the way, which one's Pink?'
waterloo13 they tell you the name of the game boy ?
Haha. Spot on.
They would never answer it, because it was Roger.
@@garycitro1674 well said
The answer is: Yes (meaning they are all, including Syd and Roger, Pink Floyd).
Years later David plays guitar with The Orb.
From England to Texas sheeessshhh🤣🤣🙏🏼
Alguien seria tan amable de contarme brevemente de que hablan no se Ingles soy Fans del mejor grupo del Mundo PINK FLOYD....Rick Wright Forever.
Album was Titled the Division Bell, You can vwatch the Full LIVE Concert Video Titled Pulse on RUclips, Be sure to watch the 2019 remater.
Volkswagen also has sponsored other really unknown acts like Genesis, Bon Jovi or Rolling Stones. They sold cars with the band‘s names on them. I don‘t know anything about more special items. Maybe there were some tickets for shows on the front passenger seat or really maybe Keith Richard sitting on the rear seat playing the guitar when you picked up the car in the Autostadt. ;-)
Floyd had a special car made for the tour which was Volkswagen's best selling "Golf" model, with some Pink Floyd stickers slapped onto it. Floyd did insist that the car was "environmentally sound", which at the time, probably just meant "emission modifications".
4:10
They never really came to Greece ever again since this was their last tour...
Starts at 3:00
I think this clip is mislabelled-it should be called The Volksvagen/Pink Floyd press conference. That or remove the first two mins fifty seconds. Also subtitles to the questions and answers would help overcome the limits that the volume of the vocals has set. Re corporate sponsorship-which bands in 2013 are big enough to warant such sponsorship? Get a band to grow that big and it might be worth arguing about.....
All the Volkswagen questions!?!?!?!? FFS!!
Dave wearing his middle class Dad jumper
Rick wants no part of this
I dont think any of them did.they all quite a bit uncomfortable
Painful to watch 😩 WTF. I feel for them.
You can tell they hated being there.
Mason's asking "Can I go now?" says it all...
They were in their 50´s at the time of this interview.
David was 47, Nick 49 and Rick 50.
They look in their late fifties.
@@thesecondRUclips K
BEHOLD LAST GENIUS LINE UP OF 20.CENTURY
Calm down
THE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY
Preach!
You have Dorito crumbs in your caps lock
I was 23 when I saw them live at Ullevi and maaaan... If a UFO would have landed next to the show, nobody would have cared about The ufo
so cold....
The best band on the planet...But Volskwagen, sponsors etc. It's to much. They said afterwards that this was mistake (in book Pigs might fly)...In they earlier phases they were criticises from fans, because they sang about social thematic, against politicians etc, but at the same time they were milionaries...But, doesn't matter, they earn that, they are the best...
3 Real Gentlemen
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
Roger, of course!
Love the CD on the microphone subtle! LOL
Can't believe this is 20 years ago.
28 lol
"...went on to marry a hunk" 😂. I realise this was a long time ago now, but do people still use that word in America now?
Rick Wright- "No, not on a weekly 'saraly' " i wonder if that was nerves, since he pronounced "salary" as "saraly" not once but twice. After all of this, David eventually said he regretted immensely having Volkswagen sponsor the tour, and donated all of his proceeds from Volkswagen to charity.
Pink Floyd wouldn't have made it out of the 60's w/o Rick Wright.
Why are the "other two guys" even there? wow. I geuss wright is used to this crap, but its still makes me cringe to watch him ignored.
Pink wasn't well, for this, he stayed back at the hotel, so they sent along this surrogate band, to find out where the fans really stood on branding.
Is this a "press conference"? Or a car commercial?
the gilmour comb-over!
You goto love Gilmour 🤟🎸
it's funny how only italian journalists ask good questions
I saw them at Earls Court London 1994 I think the ticket was £28
GOD
not without Roger who wouldn't have been........
As far as I know this is the only shameful decision Pink Floyd has ever committed to. At least they didn't have to talk VW up as part of this promo. David was perfectly honest when he said they took the highest offer and didn't even have to drive vw's to do it lol. I love Gilmour, love Pink Floyd and if you love Pink Floyd you have to love the egotistical narcissist Rodger Waters. For Better or Worse he's a legend and I love so much of the music Waters brought to us through the soft sexy sounds of David Gilmour's voice and his unique and absolutely beautiful style of playing. In their defense Im sure they had less than no idea what VW was up to or how far they'd go to cheat the world. VW's just another bunch of cheating, lying corporate fat cats that only care about getting fatter by thriving off of the lies they've told the world. The world that they went further out of their way than usual to help decimate. VW's clean diesel, pfft! Thats one lie right there we should of seen as the sham it was from the get-go. At least they got caught for it... well they got caught for that but I'm sure they got away with much more.
"Sex up our brand" - pf selling out.
Guess they had finally "had a cigar" at that point...

Timestamp?
Seem to be missing Mr. Pink Floyd here...
awesome interview
No it wasn't. Any fan would have had better questions.
It's not Pink Floyd without Rick
David Gimour made a track with the Orb 17 years later
The best version of Pink Floyd
Best cover band playing Roger’s songs
@@derf2580 nice joke
@@derf2580 Only 4 solely-penned songs by Roger were played. Everything else was a collaborative effort with Waters, and other times, without him. So that's a fallacy. One guy doesn't define a whole band.
Actually when somebody write the lyrics of a song that is already 50 percent plus the conceptual idea, add to that the fact that Waters usually also contributed to the music. I think that songs Waters /Gilmour are 75 Waters at least. And is not only about the old songs, they also tried to write songs like Waters in their albums after 87 because that is what the Pink Floyd thematic was identified with. And the whole show was mostly Waters vision. Gilmour didn't like theatrical rock shows. If it wasn't for Waters Gilmour would still be singing feel good lyrics like Fat old sun and Smile and jamming a bit to it. Which is OK, because he is great at it, but is not Pink Floyd.
poor richard........
It sucks, but he was a VERY heavy cigarette smoker. Lung Cancer got him.
man these questions are stupid!
compare gilmour to january 1988 interview looks like hes aged 15 years, nick looks the same
❤
David Gilmour never gives much away does he? Typical Pisces ;)
Yep
😛
I'm surprised he's talking that much!!
10:42 oddly enough, david gilmour would record an album with the orb in 2010.
Careful with that axe Eugene. I feel one of my turns coming on.......
Legends rip rich
12:03 saraly
What was this "Pink Floyd car" she spoke of? Anyone know?
Probs a pig shaped car flown over battersea power station lol
The opening of this video (VW references) was indeed odd, but the conference was interesting: David looking very enthusiastic; Nick looking like a serious manager; Rick sitting and listening in the background. I bet a few of the press were thinking what hell was the point in interviewing the members.
A Volkswagen with a quadraphonic sound system..
She is saying a lot of what Pink Floyd is against...
Imagine if Waters' spitting incident had produced The Llama album.
hahaha
Roger splits and the band still move on without him sadly.
Shame they split but why should the majority of the band not want to carry on.
It happened to Syd too.
Riding the gravy train?
He hesitated while introducing them..was probably going to say Roger Waters..
Syds family couldn't have been more wrong to tell his ex band mates not to contact him with what he was going through with a mental illness it wouldn't have cured him to make contact but his former band mates were empathetic and it couldn't have done more harm to what he was going through even if syd himself said it would upset him to see them again he was self sabotaging himself for more isolation that is something those who would have liked to reach out to him needed to realise there is no way if done with consideration that it would have made him worse how is that possible when he was in a mental prison of isolation already further isolation would have made things worse for him and when things fell apart for him in the late 60s he was self sabotaging his success and relationships
