The latest production by the Eugene Ballet Company should prove interesting to Pink Floyd fans, even if it proves to be a somewhat unconventional choice of Valentine's Day entertainment!

Based on the Floyd's 1973 album, Toni Pimble's newest ballet Dark Side of the Moon explores themes of conflict, greed, aging and insanity. The tribute band Floydian Slips will join the company on stage for this world premiere performance, being held at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday, February 13th, 2010 at 7:30pm, and Sunday, February 14th, at 2pm. More information and online ticket sales at www.EugeneBallet.org. Thanks to Amanda Ruddell for the info.

We recently received the following batch of five pictures of David Gilmour performing during a Pink Floyd show, during what appears to be the early 1970s. However, we don't know where or when they were taken, and one of the common ways of identifying shots/rough dates is failing us, as we've not seen him wear the t-shirt shown elsewhere!

This is an appeal for anyone who might have more information on these shots. Do you recognise the venue? Were you at the show perhaps? Could you be the original photographer? Any information gratefully received... please contact us at our This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Thanks!

In their latest listener poll, the UK digital radio station Planet Rock asked what the nations favourite solo albums were. As expected for this Pink Floyd-friendly station, both David Gilmour and Roger Waters figured healthily in the top 40 rundown.

In reverse order, David's eponymous 1978 album came in at #29, and his recent Gdansk release at #21. At #15, Roger's 1984 outing, The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, appeared, and his 1992 album, Amused To Death, managed to make it all the way to #3. However, heading the chart was David's 2006 release, On An Island.

Congratulations to David and Roger for their spread of entries! To see the poll in detail, visit www.PlanetRock.com. You can tune in to PR via DAB digital radio in the UK, Sky channel 0110, Virgin Media channel 924, Freesat channel 730 and online worldwide.

Tomorrow (September 29th) sees the North American release of "Secret Policeman's Ball: The Secret Policeman Rocks!", a DVD showcasing fourteen clips from the series of benefit concerts for Amnesty International that have run for the last three decades in London. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary, Martin Lewis, the co-creator and producer of the concerts, has gone back through the series and compiled a DVD of the greatest music moments in the series.

Some of the highlights includes Pete Townshend's acoustic versions of "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" (the latter with John Williams), Sting's "Roxanne," Kate Bush (accompanied by David Gilmour) with "Running Up That Hill," Gilmour himself with "On the Turning Away," Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck with a great version of "Further On Up the Road" and a guitar duet by Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins on a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine."

Special features include interviews with actors and musicians - including Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox, Robert De Niro, Bono, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen - talking about lending support to Amnesty International. Orders for this DVD, which help Amnesty International, can be made through Amazon.com (US/International) and Amazon Canada, both of whom will ship the disc worldwide.
