 The myth of Pink Floyd in Pompeii will be celebrated with a special exhibition that will open in the ancient Italian city of Pompeii on July 4th, 2015 - next Saturday. The event is called "PINK FLOYD LIVE @ POMPEII – THE EXHIBITION' and comes 44 years after the movie by the Scottish director Adrian Maben that in 1971 captured one of the most beautiful performances in the history of Pink Floyd.
This is the first exhibition about the movie organized in the city of Pompeii and will include over 250 photos (a handful of which you will see below) and original memorabilia assembled by Maben with the collaboration of The Lunatics, the cultural association that brings together the most famous collectors of Pink Floyd. Part of the exhibition will be collected in a 48 page catalog made by The Lunatics.
The exhibition, being held in Pompeii's Town Hall from July 4th to 31st, will be completely free. The opening of the exhibition, attended by Maben himself, is set for next Saturday (4th July) at 6pm. During that opening Maben will be awarded with the honorary citizenship of the city of Pompeii.

 To coincide with the long awaited and highly anticipated 2015 editions of Roger Waters' 1992 album, Amused To Death, which come in a variety of editions, all boasting new artwork and packaging, on July 24th, 2015, we have news of a one-hour syndicated radio special for our US readers.
The programme will feature an extensive interview with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters as well as nine tracks from the album. Craig Bailey of Floydian Slip will host the show, which will likely begin airing a week ahead of the release of ATD.
The show, "Roger Waters: Amused to Death" will be made freely available to stations wishing to air it. A list of participating stations hasn't yet been finalized, but we hope to bring you more details once we have them.
If you are yet to place your order for any of the 2015 editions, which are just under one month away, you can do so through the following links, which contribute a small, vital and hugely appreciated amount to help keep Brain Damage running!

 If you missed out on tickets for David Gilmour's upcoming tour dates (and we know many of you did) then a currently running charity auction, in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust is offering a very special opportunity to see the first of the five concerts being held in London, which conclude the 2015 tour.
On offer are two tickets in the front of a Loggia Box at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 23rd September to see David's show, where he is expected to showcase his new album, Rattle That Lock, which is expected in September, along with other solo material and undoubtedly a selection of Pink Floyd classics, too.
The highest bidder will be greeted by the CEO of the Royal Albert Hall with a bottle of champagne for enjoying whilst watching a concert that sold out in minutes. A rare chance to watch a music legend, at a prestigious venue, in supreme style.
The auction prize has been donated by the venue itself, and bids will be accepted until 8pm BST, tomorrow (Thursday, June 25th).

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10am EDT for Music Heals, an exceptional one night only concert, where some of the world’s biggest recording artists will join forces to raise money for MusiCorps - a charity supporting injured service men and women and their families. MusiCorps Band is made up of injured service members who have learned, and in some cases relearned, how to play instruments through the charity.
The concert, being held at the DAR Constitution Hall, a venue which seats around 3,700, will see Roger Waters and the musicians of MusiCorps join with special guests which include Billy Corgan, Sheryl Crow and Tom Morello.
Roger Waters has supported MusiCorps for a number of years and served as a mentor to members of the MusiCorps Band, playing with the veterans at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC and encouraging their love of music as part of the rehabilitation process.
Roger Waters said: "The work I have done over the last few years with these men and women has been some of the most rewarding work I have ever done."
MusiCorps is a non-profit charitable organization which helps wounded veterans play music and recover their lives. Praised by the Wall Street Journal as “revolutionary,” the conservatory-level program enables the wounded to learn, relearn, and perform music as a core part of their rehabilitation. More info at musicorps.net.
To purchase tickets, visit this direct link from 10am EDT on Friday, June 26th.
