From all accounts, last night's concert in New York under the banner of Stand Up for Heroes, with performances from the likes of Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen and Jerry Seinfeld, was a great success. The live stream of the entire show has just been made available to view, worldwide, on demand through Youtube:

Last minute preparations are no doubt taking place as we type this for tonight's Stand Up for Heroes event being held in New York.

Amongst the artists confirmed for the 7th annual evening of comedy and music are the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Bruce Springsteen and Roger Waters, and it is being held at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, at 8pm this evening. Tickets for the event, which started at $250, are all sold out, but people across the world are able to enjoy the concert live, as it happens!

Roger Waters' performance will feature a band comprised of nearly two dozen musicians and singers - all of whom are wounded active service members or veterans representing all branches of the US armed forces including the Musicorps Wounded Warrior band from Walter Reed hospital. From the rehearsal pictures we've seen, we know that also performing with Roger will be Jon Carin, GE Smith, and Dave Kilminster. Roger's set, along with the rest of the show, will be available via a live webcast featuring a Google+ Hangout. RSVP now for the event: http://g.co/standup2013

Since its inception, the event has raised more than $16 million to support wounded warriors and their families. It brings together leaders from military, business, entertainment, government, and philanthropy to raise funds to help post-911 injured service members and their families thrive long after they return to the home front.

Stand Up for Heroes marks the sacrifice of returning service members, veterans and their families by offering support in the effort to heal the physical and psychological wounds of war.

UPDATE: the following video shows the arrival at the venue of the performers, including interviews:

Venice, the band which includes vocalists Kipp, Mark and Pat Lennon, who made a huge contribution to the overall sound of The Wall Live tour, have now - with time to devote to their own music again - recorded a brand new double album. "What Summer Brings" isn't typical of what you heard during the Roger Waters tour, musically, but still features their great voices and harmonisation, along with some cracking tunes.

A preview of the album can be heard below. The album releases in Europe this week, and in America mid-December. American fans can pre-order the CD directly from the band at their official webpage, www.venicecentral.com. Outside the US, to save on postage fees, the album can be purchased from aanspreekpunt.nl.

The London exhibition to coincide with the release of the wonderful new book, The Gathering Storm: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson is now up and running at the newly opened Proud Archivist, a combined gallery, bar, restaurant, cafe and events space in Hertford Road, London N1. Below, we have a copy of the book signed by the team at StormStudios to give away in our latest competition, but first, more about the exhibition, and some unmissable upcoming events...

The exhibition itself is a wonderful look through the archives of his work, and the work of his colleagues over the years, with some of the pieces presented in stunningly large sizes. There are also other items which are great fun - letters from Storm to record companies which are a hoot. The launch party to open the event saw many friends of Storm coming together to celebrate the man and his work, and the StormStudios photo gallery from the event can be seen on their Facebook page (I even pop up in one of the pictures!) which gives an idea of the exhibition itself, along with the pictures to the left.

The gallery are hosting a number of events whilst the exhibition is on. November 10th sees the gallery host a free workshop exploring the craft of album artwork design, hosted by key StormStudios bods Peter Curson and Dan Abbott, from 2-4pm; on November 17th they host Live Liquid Album Art, letting you participate in the creation of a unique, one-off piece of art using some of the same techniques employed by Storm; November 19th sees them host a classic album playback, letting you admire Storm's work in the context of the music and artists which inspired it; and on November 22nd they're hosting a free screening of Taken by Storm by Roddy Bagawa, a fantastic documentary about Storm's life and work. You can see more details about each event, and get tickets where appropriate, on their website, TheProudArchivist.co.uk.
