Grappelli meets Pink Floyd

Sorry to double post, but I'm not sure how many people read the Violin section of the forums.

Pink Floyd is releasing a box set of "Wish You Were Here" on 11/8 that will include Stephane Grappelli's entire (and previously unreleased) solo on the title track.

11/8 is long gone. I hope you don't mean 2012. Anyway this is really interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I listened to the song and the part where Steph plays but I hear nothing... It must be extremely quiet because I listened with headphones. This would mean I could finally hear it.

Sorry - I was using the US date format. By 11/8 I meant November 8 (not August 11.) So it's only a five week wait.

Great! Sorry for the misunderstanding. :P

I just read about his presence on the recording in Nick Mason's autobiography a few weeks ago and was cursing them for not releasing his take.

Thanks for the notification!

Trying to set my pro-Floyd bias aside, it's... interesting... Can't say I really like it. Just doesn't work together.

Had been waiting to hear this. Thanks for the post.

It starts to come alive towards the end.
