August 26, 1998 Gilmour and Pretty Things to perform September 6 On 6 September David Gilmour joined the original 1966 [The Pretty Things] lineup of The Pretty Things for a live internet broadcast performance of the very first U.K. concept album, The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow, which preceded The Who's Tommy. The concert was broadcast live on the Internet through the web site http://www.muzic.com at 8pm GMT on Sunday 6 September. (9pm BST/UK Time, 1pm PST, 4pm EST). The bad news was the jumpy picture and low quality of sound experienced by most who were able to connect to the site at all. (NetCasts are still in their infancy, so this is to be expected.) The good news is that the concert will be released on CD in the near future. The concert, with David Gilmour on guitar, was a complete performance of S.F. Sorrow. The original version of S.F. Sorrow will be re-released in a remastered edition of the original monophonic recording on Snapper Records on 14 September. This edition will include a previous lost and unreleased single, the long version of "Defecting Grey." S.F. Sorrow was recorded by Norman Smith in 1967, shortly after Smith had finished engineering The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and several early Pink Floyd projects, including the single "See Emily Play" and the first Pink Floyd album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. (Pink Floyd and The Pretty Things also had the same agent, the Bryan Morris Agency, in 1967.) The Pretty things consisted of Phil May on vocals, Dick Taylor on guitar, Skip Alan on Drums, John Povey providing keyboards and vocals, and Wally Waller on bass. This lineup reunited for the new Internet broadcast, augmented by Gilmour. For additional information, see: http://www.muzic.com
