Back in January this year, a 2-CD highlights set from the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief, which was held at New York's Madison Square Garden, was released by Columbia Records. These highlights include Roger Waters with the slightly renamed Another Brick In The Atlantic Wall Part I, II & III, Us and Them, and Comfortably Numb which was performed with Eddie Vedder as guest vocalist. You can see the full track listing below, as well as in the graphic showing the rear of the DVD, to the right.

As an addition to the album, simply titled "12-12-12 the Concert for Sandy Relief", is a new DVD with the exact same title, containing the same material but of course coming with the benefit of being able to see the artists perform their selections. The DVD came out last week, on September 17th, 2013, and if you wish to add this to your collection, you can do so through these direct links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Espana and Amazon Italy. The Robin Hood Relief Fund will receive 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this album, so by buying it, you're really helping the charity.

Ron Geesin's 'The Flaming Cow: The Making of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother' has been getting very positive feedback from all aspects of the Floyd community. The book gives Ron's own perspective on the project, and it really is a fantastic read! From Nick Mason's amusing foreword, through the story of how Ron got to know the various members of the Floyd, to co-composing and recording the piece variously known as Epic and The Amazing Pudding, before settling on the title we all know and love, the book reveals all with a great wit and honesty, along with masses of previously unseen photos from the recording sessions.

We were fortunate enough to have five copies to give away as competition prizes. We were inundated with entries, all correctly noting that the cover star's name was Lulubelle III, and we've just drawn the winners this afternoon. So, hearty congratulations goes to:

• Alexey Vasilev, Moscow, Russian Federation
• Brian White, Newcastle, England
• BobFloyd, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
• Jane Philips, Cardiff, Wales
• Johan Kuiper, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Your books will be sent out in the next couple of days, and for the many who entered who weren't fortunate enough to be plucked from the Brain Damage "hat", we've got another couple of competitions coming soon, so all is not lost!

If you were unlucky this time, and want to add the book to your collection, you can use these direct links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Espana and Amazon Italy. For those who prefer the convenience of reading on their Apple iThings, the eBook version is now available to purchase and download from the iTunes Bookstore, at a newly-reduced price - so no better time to snap it up! There are enhancements and extras over the print edition - principally, you can see Ron answering questions submitted by Brain Damage visitors about Atom Heart Mother, in a fascinating two-part video Q&A session, which was conducted by me in Ron's own studio...

Officially on sale in the UK from tomorrow, September 25th, but in some already today, the November 2013/issue 198 of the UK's Uncut magazine has a cover feature on The Dark Side of the Moon, with the tag line from Nick Mason: "We still squabble about it today..."

The article, which features new interviews with a number of people involved in the album, and a couple of interesting newly unearthed pictures, is an absorbing look back to 40 years ago. A key element of the piece are the comments from Nick, such as "We were obviously very depressed people..."

Elsewhere in the magazine are features on The Replacements, John Lydon, and David Crosby.

Attached to the cover is a CD of "the best new music", with a suitably Floydian image and name: All That Is Now. You can buy Uncut in all good UK stores now, and it will be available in selected outlets worldwide as an import. Alternatively, you can buy it (again, worldwide) via Newsstand.co.uk.

Well, the 2013 Roger Waters The Wall Live tour had to finish somewhere, and it would be hard to argue that the Stade de France in the north of Paris on Saturday night didn't make the most of such a momentous show.

From the bouyant atmosphere felt on the public transport approaching the stadium, to the joy and anticipation clear on the faces of those walking up to, and into, the Stade, to the 80,000 crammed into the venue and making the most of this final concert, Roger and the band couldn't have wished for a better conclusion! Even Nick Mason travelled to Paris for the performance - clearly not wishing to miss such a show.

Musically and visually, the show went without a hitch, with Roger clearly feeling quite emotional - he didn't really seem to want to leave the stage for the last time, on the warm Parisian night. Followers of our Facebook page were able to (when the phone network in the stadium allowed!) see pictures from the show throughout the evening. We hope you enjoyed them. Our review of the show, more (and better) pictures, and video clips, will follow as normal on the showpage.

If you've been to any of the shows since September 2010, we hope you had a good time. If you didn't manage to, we hope our coverage of the 219 shows has given you at the very least a taste of what The Wall meant to people. Hopefully now it will be all systems go to get the DVD of the show complete!
