With tonight seeing the first of over sixty concerts on Roger's The Wall Live tour of Europe in Lisbon, Portugal, we are very conscious that, as with the North American dates last year, many of you who are going to later concerts, want to remain unaware of specific detail of the show. This is so that when you go, it's all fresh and mindblowing...

To that end, we will NOT be posting specific details, or over-revealing images, on the home page (unless something particularly newsworthy happens). For detail on each show (pictures, reviews, and more), please check out the show's dedicated page within the 2011 Tour Zone. We know that many of you have already appreciated this approach, based on emails we've had to date! Each show page will be updated as quickly as we can, so dig in and enjoy.

And for everyone going to one or more shows this year, have a thrilling, fun, and memorable time! Don't forget to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it telling us how the show went, what you felt about the evening, and if you have any pictures (remember - no flash, please!) we'd love to see them...

UPDATE, Tuesday: The concert page has now been updated with comments, pictures and even video of key parts of last night's show - so check it out!

Last night saw the launch event for Syd Barrett: Art and Letters, the new exhibition being held in London's Idea Generation gallery celebrating Barrett's creative genius. A packed gallery saw Syd's friends, family, and celebrity fans alike absorbed in the stunning array of original artwork - a wonderful tribute to Barrett.

The largest collection of Syd's artwork and letters ever to be shown in public, the exhibition proved to be a fascinating glimpse into his true passion throughout his life. Run in conjunction with the release of Barrett: The Definitive Visual Companion book, by Russell Beecher and Will Shutes, last night saw many of the key personalities attend to catch up with old friends and also simply enjoy the work on display. Included were many of Barrett's family, along with people like Duggie Fields, Jenny Spires, John "Hoppy" Hopkins, Philip James, Aubrey "Po" Powell, Graham Coxon, Captain Sensible, Jeff Dexter, Libby (Gausden) Chisman, Warren Dosanjh, along with many others from Syd's life.

The exhibition runs until April 10th and we urge all Floyd fans to pay a visit if they possibly can. It's the perfect accompaniment to the wonderful Barrett book. The exhibition and book have both been extensively covered by the press, and below are some details of this (including links to hear them on demand)...

Released on April 4th, to coincide with the European leg of The Wall Live tour, is "Roger Waters - The Album Collection". A limited edition (available during the tour) 8-disc box set, with a lift-off lid, it is a collection of his studio and live albums housed in mini-LP replica wallets, and sitting alongside a 16-page booklet. Click the thumbnails to the right to see them in more detail.

The collection (released by Sony Music) consists of Pros & Cons, Radio KAOS, Amused To Death, In The Flesh Live (2CD & 1DVD), and Ca Ira (2CD). So, there is NO new music included, but for those who are lacking Roger's solo work, it is priced very reasonably so a good opportunity for those who want to bolster their collection.

You can pre-order the set now through Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. You can also order it from Play.com and HMV.com (who are currently cheapest for this, with £10 off the recommended price).

Also re-released (on March 28th) is the compilation album Flickering Flame, which features tracks not found elsewhere, including the title track, Each Small Candle, Knocking On Heaven's Door, and Lost Boys Calling. You can get it through Amazon UK and other normal retailers.

As you'll be aware, the ever popular Aussie Floyd are currently performing some of the Pink Floyd's greatest songs on their new European tour (complete with 3D visuals, inflatables, and a crew peppered with staff who've worked with the real thing), and have just started the UK leg. They've also launched a new online store, which includes a wide range of their gear.

To coincide with this, we have had another great giveaway for Brain Damage visitors. With spring just around the corner in the northern hemisphere, it seems fitting to have no less than 10 of their new design t-shirts being sent to some more lucky BD winners!
