After completing the book about The Wall - which will be released in September 2026 - all attention is now focused on Lowlands Paradise. In recent years, many loose ends have surfaced that need to be sorted out. And new items continue to surface from archives and collections of people who were there, especially between 1967 and 1972. New photos, articles, and even contracts have surfaced in recent years. Additionally, there were even concerts that were planned but did not take place, and even a concert that is completely unknown but did happen.

I've begun collecting additional material for the Lowlands Paradise book. There are certain loose ends from the 1960s that need to be addressed. I'll also be selecting the visuals. At a non-music event, I met someone who worked as a stagehand at the Amsterdam Rock Circus in 1972. He had taken many rolls of film of the performers (including Pink Floyd, mercifully, from the stage), the stadium, and the spectators. A suitable selection has now been scanned. It has been a rewarding job.

Today, it is 1000 days until the publication of PINK FLOYD TO LOWLANDS PARADISE and not only that. 17 February is a special day in the history of Pink Floyd and the Netherlands. On 17 February 1968, the group played its first concerts abroad with new member David Gilmour in Vlissingen and Terneuzen in the province of Zeeland. For a long time, the story went that they had already done so a year earlier, in June 1967, and thus still with Syd Barrett, but those concerts were only announced and never took place. Pink Floyd would play in Vlissingen again later in 1968. The Concertgebouw (like the Amsterdam venue with a hyphen) was used until a few years ago, but is now being converted into an apartment complex or hotel.
