Music: FLOYD MUSICIANS JAM WITH DAVID GILMOUR FOR DVD PREMIERE
September 7, 2007
The film screening was attended by many artists and musicians, including Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
Prior to the film which was recorded last year, David Gilmour came on stage and performed ‘Castellizon’ - the guitar solo from his solo album ‘On An Island’ on a dark stage with just a spotlight on his guitar.
The footage included several tracks featuring Crosby & Nash performing vocals alongside Gilmour - ‘On An Island’, ‘The Blue’ and ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond.’ The Albert Hall show also featured David Bowie on two tracks ‘Arnold Layne’ and show finale ‘Comfortably Numb.’
After the ‘gig’ (which included an immense laser light show in the auditorium for ‘Echoes’) finished, Gilmour came back onstage to take questions from the audience and fans around Europe - to whom the Q&A was being webcast live.
If the guitarist could have made any song of recent times, it would have been Gnarls Barkleys’ ‘Crazy’ which he said was simply ‘an amazing track’ - though ‘he doesn’t keep up with new music that much.’
Gilmour said: “I’m far more likely to be moved by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen than anything - they’re the people that I’m truly impressesd by.”
Doing the ‘On An Island’ tour has been ‘immense fun’ he said. “It takes up all of my time, and I’m not quite done with it yet.”
The former Pink Floyd guitarist was joined onstage at the end of the Q&A session by former bandmate Rick Wright as well as a multitude of other musicians for ‘Island Jam’.
Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera played alongside musicians Jon Carin who has played with Floyd as well as with Gilmour and Waters solo, Dick Parry (Floyd sax), Guy Pratt (Floyd / David bassist) and Crosby & Nash drummer Steve DiStanislao - who were all called out of the audience to plug in and play.
The double-disc David Mallet directed film ‘Remember That Night’ including two and half hours of bonus footage is released on September 17 through EMI Records.

Movies: John Sayles new movie
September 6, 2007
Movies: John Sayles new movie
This is a heads up about Honeydripper, a fantastic new film from John Sayles and Maggie Renzi that Michael Hollett and I want to make sure is on your radar. This e-mail is being sent this to a number of musicians, journalists, filmmakers, acquaintances (including a lot of folks I’ve met at SXSW of which I’m a founder and Senior Director), fellow members of the press, friends and friends of friends. This is an alert for all of you but especially relevant to those attending the Toronto International Film Festival where it is showing.
Set in the South during the 1950s, the Honeydripper lounge is a black blues club getting tossed about on the waves of the significant changes affecting it. Clubs are shifting from live music to jukeboxes, the electric guitar is usurping the piano in blues music and the nascent Civil Rights movement has begun to come in to its own.
Honeydripper is Sayles at his enthralling best, celebrating life and culture with passion and intelligence, telling the kinds of stories that Hollywood Studios are incapable of even considering. Set in a very real world, they are of those who work, worry, love, celebrate, mourn and persevere. Appropriately, at its heart, Honeydripper celebrates the spontaneous “Just Grew” spread of the people’s music, “and they called it rock ‘n’ roll!”
Given the current pinprick narrow focus of the film industry, it is no surprise that getting this film made was a truly bruising struggle. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), Sayles and Renzi are seasoned veterans at overcoming the ridiculous odds of making the kinds of films they envision. Honeydripper, their 14th collaboration, joins a filmography that includes Return of the Secacus Seven, Brother From Another Planet, Matewan, Passion Fish, Lone Star, Men With Guns, Sunshine State and Silver City. A pioneer of American independent film Sayles is one of the very few filmmakers who has remained true to his vision rather than being seduced by Hollywood into making safe, homogenized and pasteurized films.
Sadly, currently it seems that Sayles is more honored than watched. The latter films have been too easily and perversely dismissed. Critics seem more determined to trump the expectations of the know-nothing crowd (which figures these are exactly the kinds of films they love) than to actually consider the films. Year after year so many of their reviews are exasperated and derisive complaints about lightweight Hollywood films with cut out paper doll characters, moronic dialogue and incoherent plots. Ironically, they then criticize Sayles films for being too serious and dense.
Honeydripper centered on the brilliance of the blues is so entertaining it just may well confound some of the more didactic critics. Over the years Hollett and I have gone to hear a lot of music with Sayles and Renzi, both avid fans who not only appreciate and know music but listen to it constantly. The wonderful soundtracks of their movies, with dead on songs matched to consistently appropriate film scores by Mason Daring, are very much mirror duplicates of the soundtrack to their lives.
Michael and I, of course, would appreciate any and all support you may give to Honeydripper but, honestly, mostly we want to make sure you see it.

From Honeydripper The Press Release:
1950. Rural Alabama. Cotton harvest. It’s a make-or-break weekend for the Honeydripper Lounge and its owner, piano player Tyrone “Pine Top” Purvis. Deep in debt to the liquor man, the chicken man, and the landlord, Tyrone is desperate to lure the young cotton pickers and local Army base recruits into his juke joint, away from Touissant’s, the rival joint across the way. After laying off his regular talent, blues singer Bertha Mae, Tyrone announces to his sidekick Maceo that he has hired the famous electric guitar player, Guitar Sam, for a special one night only gig: pack ‘em in and save the club.
n the day of the show, the train arrives and Guitar Sam is no where to be found. Tyrone is forced to take drastic action. He makes a deal with Sheriff Pugh to release Sonny, the kid who hopped off a freight car here in Har
