This coming Saturday (March 14th), Italian Floyd tribute band The Time Machine will be playing at Teatro ATC in Torino, at 9pm.

At the end of the show, The Lunatics, a bunch of collectors, will show around 100 of the rarer Pink Floyd records, such as all the Japanese red vinyls, the rarest Colombian blue vinyls, some of the rarest Japanese LPs (Dark Side live cover and Ummagumma red-wax) and famous covers, all the official coloured and picture-disc records, and much more... They will also be showing some original USA Tour 1967 posters.

None of them will be for sale, simply displayed for the pleasure of all! Sounds a really nice idea... whilst there are many tribute shows all the time (and for that reason, we're unable to provide coverage of them), this is quite different and we feel definitely worthy of mention.

Our very best wishes to David Gilmour today, for it marks his 63rd birthday!

Born and raised in Cambridge, David became involved with various bands in the area, principally Jokers Wild who were a popular draw when they played, before joining Pink Floyd in 1968. More recent years have seen David concentrating on his solo career, and helping out chums on their musical projects on an ad hoc basis - most recently, appearing on stage with Phil Manzanera at the legendary Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club last month (more details here).

Many happy returns, David!

For all of you who never got around to snapping up those bits of Roger Waters merchandise from his 2006 and 2007 Dark Side Of The Moon tours, make sure you pay an urgent visit to the official US Roger Waters merchandise store - www.RogerWatersStore.com - which is run by Bravado.

They are having a special "blowout sale", with all included items priced to clear at a piffling $5 while stocks last. This sale runs until the end of this month - March 31st - and includes a wide range of the tour t-shirts, alongside the special mug and baseball hat. At these prices, it's a great time to fill those holes in your collection...
