 The director of Pink Floyd's The Wall, the 1982 film starring Bob Geldof and based on the group's classic album, will make a special appearance at The Space event, held in Brighton, England, on Monday, October 18th at 7:30pm.
Sir Alan Parker is one of Britain’s most successful filmmakers. In a career spanning forty years, he has worked with some of the movie world’s most respected actors, such as Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Nicolas Cage and Gene Hackman. Parker’s notable successes include Fame, The Commitments, Midnight Express, Bugsy Malone and Birdy. Music has been a key theme throughout much of his work, and he has collaborated with Pink Floyd (The Wall), legendary producer Giorgio Moroder (Midnight Express), Madonna and Andrew Lloyd Webber (Evita). As an active figure within the British film industry, Parker was a co-founder of the Directors Guild of Great Britain and the UK Film Council, and he is a former Chairman of the British Film Institute.
The event is being held at Brighton's Komedia venue, in the heart of the city and just five minutes walk from the main railway station. Tickets are now on sale through this link. The Space is a monthly music, film and arts event, which features a line-up of highly successful special guest interviewees from the creative industries. Previous guests include Guy Pratt, Glastonbury Festival’s Michael Eavis, EMI A&R boss Nick Gatfield and Jeff Wayne, among many others.

 With such a successful start to the Wall Live tour, Roger Waters seems quite unstoppable. Another show has been added to the schedule - a return to Madison Square Garden in New York City, on November 6th, 2010 (yes, one month after he plays a pair of nights at the venue). That brings the total number of public shows to an incredible 108!
The RogerWaters.com, and American Express cardholder, presales begin starting Monday, September 20th, 2010 at 10am. General sale tickets go on sale on Saturday, September 25th at 10am via Ticketmaster.com. All times are EDT.
Tour merchandise is now available to purchase online, and international orders are welcomed at the official store. At time of writing this, there are five different t-shirt designs currently available, the tour program, a poster, mug, and limited lithograph. Click here to visit the store and place your orders - if you aren't able to attend a show, or can't wait to snap something up (or indeed, don't want to have to carry the things around at the show), here's your chance...

Tickets for Roger Waters performing The Wall at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy on May 30th went on sale this morning, and sold out pretty much straight away. Without too much surprise, a second night has quickly been added - May 31st, 2011 - and tickets will be on sale through all normal official agents (including official ticket agent FNACSpectacles.com) today...
This brings the Wall Live tour to a massive 107 public concerts - so far. Could there be other concerts to be added along the way? Only time will tell!

 The Air Canada Centre in Toronto is just recovering from the first night of the Roger Waters The Wall live tour, and what a night it was! As BD contributor Marina Cattai told us: "I just came back from the first concert of the tour and I can say that I have no words to describe it. It was just AMAZING!"
Even the Canadian press were enthusiastic with their praise. 660News, calling the show an "awe-inspiring spectacle", noted that "Roger Waters treated Toronto fans to his first performance of 'The Wall' in more than 20 years on Wednesday, mixing bits of vintage stagecraft with all-new flourishes in front of a sold-out crowd".
The Star also reviews the concert, and is a bit more picky, although notes "good on Roger Waters for recognizing – and humbly deferring to – what a massive contribution to the rock canon he made in The Wall."
Reviews and pictures from BD contributors (including Timothy Richards, whose picture of Roger can be seen to the right) will be added to the respective dedicated show page shortly.

 With tonight seeing the first of over a hundred concerts on Roger's The Wall Live tour, we are very conscious that 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 2010 Tour Zone. We know that some of you have already appreciated this approach, based on emails we've had today! 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 or next, have a thrilling, fun, and memorable time!
Whilst on the subject of Roger's concerts, another has been added this morning. Our friends in the Netherlands will be seeing The Wall at the GelreDome in Arnhem for a third show, on April 11th, 2010. Tickets for this show go on sale through Ticketmaster.nl on Friday, September 17th, at 10am...
