A second Dark Side Of The Moon concert for Roger Waters in 2008 has been announced today. He will be playing at the Pinkpop venue of Megaland, in Landgraaf, The Netherlands, on May 11th. This is the day before the Pinkpop Classic festival, which itself is followed by the main Pinkpop festival. Tickets for the show go on sale tomorrow morning (December 20th) at 10am, through Ticketmaster's ticketservice.nl, livenation.nl, and other normal outlets. Our thanks to the many Dutch readers of Brain Damage who kindly emailed us with the information!

Nick Mason, doing a promotional tour for the release of Pink Floyd's Oh By The Way studio album box set (more details here), appeared on Saturday night's Gary Crowley show on BBC Radio London. In the second half of the programme, Gary chats to Nick in an interesting, hour-long special looking at Pink Floyd's career. You can hear it on demand for a week, through this link.

Nick also turned up on Steve Wright's Friday afternoon show on BBC Radio 2. Fast forward to around the 2hr, 33 minute point of his show through this link.

Finally, looking forward, BBC Radio6 'Live at Midnight' is featuring Roger Waters on January 14th. No details on what exactly is being broadcast, but worth checking out. More details here (thanks to Alan Grigg for the head's up).

The new issue of the UK's Classic Rock magazine (cover date January 2008) has a couple of interesting items for Pink Floyd fans.

First, there's a fascinating seven page article, written by Brain Damage founder Glenn Povey, looking at the Jimi Hendrix-headlining package tour of the UK in November and December 1967. With Pink Floyd as one of the support acts on the tour, which played two shows a day at fairly small venues, it's something that makes you wish for the real-life invention of time machines! However, the tour was full of incident, as Glenn's article reveals...

Elsewhere, Nick Mason talks about presenting Storm Thorgerson with his Outstanding Contribution award, and there's also a 2008 calendar, with twelve months of great shots relating to a different band each month. February's page has a picture of Pink Floyd at the mixing desk during the Wish You Were Here sessions in 1975. Our thanks to Jason Pyke for the head's-up on this publication, which is available now in most good stores across the UK, and available shortly worldwide in selected outlets as an import.

The London-based registered charity Youth Music Theatre: UK are holding their annual Christmas show this Thursday (December 20th). Nick Mason has donated a signed copy of the Pink Floyd studio album box set "Oh By The Way", to auction off at the show. He has also donated a tour of his classic car collection along with a signed book.

People are able to participate in the sealed auction online until midday (UK time) on Friday, December 21st. More details of the charity and event can be found at www.ymtuk.org.

UPDATE: The signed box set raised £500, and the classic car tour a further £450, for the charity.
