friends, i’ve scoured this entire forum and the rest of the internet looking for answers to this question and i’ve come no closer to the truth.
on the webpage below (Pink Floyd Archives, which i only now just realized was ran by Vernon Fitch), it states that Roger played a gig in support of the Wimbledon tennis event at London’s Hard Rock Cafe in 1989.
thing is, outside of this brief mention, i can’t find evidence of this performance at all. no other mention on any other PF sites, forums, books, etc. I can’t even prove that Wimbledon has had any musical performances at all, much less in 1989. (EDIT: i am american so my knowledge of the event is admittedly very low)
the only mention of Wimbledon in association with PF traces back to a gig the band did at the Wimbledon Palais in 1965, nearly 24 years off from the dates i was looking for.
so, i guess my question is: is there proof of this gig taking place? a newspaper article, a photo, a brief mention in an article, anything??? the likelihood of the show being taped is astronomically low so i won’t even bother with that but surely somebody would have written something about it in the interim between 1989 and now.
