We know a number of you have been eagerly awaiting news of ticketing for Roger's final show on his 2008 Dark Side Of The Moon mini-tour. Well, thanks to our friend Petrovich from the excellent Russian pink-floyd.ru site, we now have full information for you!
Petrovich tells us that the concert is being staged as a gift to residents and guests from the St Petersburg city government and the organizers of St Petersburg International Economic Forum, so entrance to the concert is free. However, there is an allocated "VIP" zone, consisting of six sectors and more than 8000 seats. The ticket prices for this area start at 3,300 RUR, and go up to 16,500 RUR (approximately 90-450 euros). Tickets can be ordered at www.kassir.ru (or click here for a translated version of their site).

 Many of you will have seen the recent opportunities that Jon Carin has recently given, auctioning off tickets to recent Roger Waters concerts in the US, along with backstage passes so that you can meet Jon. These were to raise money for his daughter's school in New York, to try to compensate for budget cuts from the city of New York this year.
For those who want to catch one of the final performances of Dark Side Of The Moon, Jon has arranged for one more golden opportunity, though CharityFolks.com:
The auction features great seats for you and your very lucky friends, and with your backstage passes you'll get to meet the keyboard, guitar and lap steel musician and lead vocalist from Roger's
band, Jon Carin! A great opportunity, and the auction has just a few days left (finishing on May 13th), so don't delay...

Airing at 10:30pm (UK time) tonight, David Gilmour is one of the contributors in an hour-long tribute to Marc Bolan. The programme, "20th Century Boy: The Marc Bolan Story", on BBC Radio 2, takes a look at the tragically-shortened career of the T-Rex frontman. This is a repeat airing of the tribute, but we know many people missed it first time around.
BBC Radio 2 can be heard on 88-91FM, digital cable and satellite, DAB digital radio, and online at www.BBC.co.uk/radio2, where a "Listen Again" facility exists to hear the show, on demand, for seven days following its airing.

Whilst on the US leg of his 2008 Dark Side Of The Moon tour, Roger Waters has undergone a couple of fascinating interviews with the local press. Talking about such things as the current concerts, live footage - from recent shows AND the original Wall shows, and recording new music (including a benefit single with Eric Clapton on guitar), the interviews are definitely worth checking out, and we have details of both below...

 A new book, "Wish You Were Here: Chapters In The Life Of Rex Roman", has just been published which looks at the life of this British actor (and fading star). His story is inextricably tied up with his favourite band, Pink Floyd, and indeed the book starts with Rex hearing about the Live8 concert, and then looking back on his life. A very funny book, it is also touching, and has many events and references that Pink Floyd fans will identify with and enjoy, including, allegedly, "the best-kept secret in rock history"!
A pair of live concerts are being held next month to formally launch the book, with a live band, supported by stand-up comedians. The band will be playing some NEW Floyd arrangements and just generally celebrating the music of Pink Floyd.
We've got more details of these shows, along with your opportunity to win one of three copies of the limited first-edition run of the book signed by author Simon Ash!
