Our very best wishes to David Gilmour today, for it is his 62nd birthday! Many happy returns, David.

This day two years ago saw the release of the On An Island album, and the first performance of the tour (at his party) that concluded many months later, kicking off his 60th year in style. This year will hopefully see the release of the Gdansk concert recording from the same year, a very special show in front of 100,000 at the historic Polish shipyard, which we're sure that David is working hard on to ensure it is as good as it can be.

In the last few minutes, we had confirmation from Roger Waters manager that another London show has been added. Roger and his band will be playing a second night at London's O2 Arena on Monday May 19th.

Tickets are priced at £55.00/£45.00 and go on-sale to the general public on Friday, March 7th at 9:00am. Box Office: www.livenation.co.uk or call 0844 576 5483 (all tickets subject to a booking fee).

We had confirmation yesterday from Roger Waters' manager that there will be three performances of Ça Ira at the 12th Amazonas Opera Festival in Manaus, Brazil. They will be on the 15th, 22nd and 24th April. It is a fully staged Brazilian (Amazonas) production.

The location for the productions is the spectacular, 700-seat Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas) - click thumbnail to the right. This is an opera house located in the heart of Manaus, which is inside the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Tickets for the three performances can only be obtained from the theatre itself. More information can be found here. (Our thanks to Elzira Miotto)

This month in Germany sees the release of two movies, very hard to find on DVD, that feature specially written music from Pink Floyd. The legendary Barbet Schroeder film More, and also La Vallee (Obscured By Clouds), get their European DVD release on March 20th.

A third important film from the same era, Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, has only ever been officially available on DVD as a limited Russian edition. That changes on April 17th, when it is released by Kabeleins, completing the trio neatly.

Great news for Floyd fans who have been searching for these on DVD! The DVDs can be ordered from Amazon Germany, who will ship them worldwide, through these links: MORE, LA VALLEE, ZABRISKIE POINT. (Thanks to Hans Gerlitz for the info!)
