We've now got full details of the long awaited release of the Live Aid 4-DVD box set. The "biggest concert in Rock 'n' Roll history" will be released on DVD worldwide on November 8th, 2004. The unforgettable global event, staged in London and Philadelphia on Saturday July 13th 1985, was watched on television by over 1.5 billion people around the world. These concerts led to pledged donations and royalties of over $140 million towards the devastating famine in Africa, and was a veritable who's who of the music business, with an incredible line-up of everyone from Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan, to David Bowie, Queen, U2, taking in the likes of Crosby Stills & Nash, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, and Eric Clapton, amongst others.

An interview with Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was broadcast this afternoon on Scotland Today, the news programme on Scottish TV. Recorded when he was in Edinburgh for a signing session for "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", we have a transcript of the interview below, which was also streamed online for some time (but now not available).

Pink Floyd are amongst the legends who have received a nomination into the UK Music Hall Of Fame. The band have been included in the line-up for the list of artists from the 1970's, alongside acts such as David Bowie, Stevie Wonder and The Clash.

We have just heard that the next release in the Pete Townshend 'signature' series of CDs will be an expanded version of the Deep End show from November 2nd 1985. The Deep End shows had a very special person on guitar - Pink Floyd's David Gilmour!
