The auction that followed the Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture (see earlier news), in aid of Save the Rhino and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, went very well - every auction item was sold for above their reserve price which meant both the charities exceeded their estimated income.
The artwork from Pink Floyd's album "Meddle", donated by Storm Thorgerson, was finally sold for £1800, to author Ken Follett. Nick Mason and David Gilmour were both in the audience for the lecture.
Our thanks to Katy York at Save The Rhino for the info - by the way, she also said that it is possible that at the event next year more pieces could become available. Start saving now!

Mark Fenwick, Roger's manager, has kindly given Brain Damage full details of the DVD release of the legendary Live At Pompeii.
Live At Pompeii contains the concert in its entirety and a much longer version which includes the concert, footage of the recording of "Dark Side Of The Moon" in the studio, and new material of the band talking in the studio. This longer version is called The Director's Cut and was conceived by the director, Adrian Maben. In addition, there is an interview with Adrian. The artwork and the concept for the DVD is by Storm Thorgerson.
As mentioned previously on these pages, the DVD is due out in April. Some technical glitches delayed it from being released this month.

Last year, we asked for suggestions from you for tracks that could be included in a future Roger Waters "best of" compilation. This was inspired by the fact that Flickering Flame was called Volume 1... Last month, we posted the results here and also submitted them to Roger Waters and Mark Fenwick, his manager, for their deliberation.
Mark has now responded back to us. Despite your excellent suggestions for tracks that could be considered for Volume 2, "there are no plans for a follow up to Flickering Flame in the foreseeable future. Roger is currently working on a new album and of course, Ca Ira". Nevertheless, we are sure that your suggestions proved very interesting and food for thought!
