Роджер Уотерс / Roger Waters

One of the biggest broadcasting debacles of the year, MTV's botched airing of the Live 8 worldwide charity concerts, in which key performances were lost to commercials and host-chatter, is corrected with the four-disc DVD "Live 8" (Capitol).

Live Aid founder Bob Geldof, who was knighted for those legendary shows in 1985, returned to oversee all-star events held simultaneously in London, Philadelphia, Berlin, Toronto and Moscow, designed to promote debt and famine relief and featuring performances from The Who, Sting and, most surprising, a reunion of Pink Floyd with estranged guitarist-composer Roger Waters.

Their set is included here in its entirety, and the bonus features include a look at the band's rehearsals, which are actually less strained than the fine-sounding but somewhat uncomfortable-feeling onstage appearance.

The once-in-a-lifetime duets are the primary attraction: Paul McCartney and U2 opening the show with a storming "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with its "it was 20 years ago today" refrain; Coldplay and forgotten man (at least in America) Richard Ashcroft reviving his former band Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony"; Stevie Wonder raising the games of Rob Thomas on "Higher Ground" and Maroon 5's Adam Levine on "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours"; and Elton John attempting to help English pop's most infamous wreck, Pete Doherty, late of the Libertines, struggle through T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution."

We reported on 3rd September of the publication on November 3rd of "Drawing Blood: Forty Five Years of Scarfe Uncensored", an eager-awaited book that sees highlights of Gerald Scarfe's career compiled into a lavish hardback book.

The book promises to be a feast for all Floyd fans, due to his extensive work with the band, over the years. Gerald's PA has also told us that the book features a few illustrations from The Wall which haven't been seen before - alongside the five decades of incredibly varied work he has done for all sorts of people and publications.

To coincide with the release, there are a number of events lined up:

17th October - 3rd November: exhibition at University Of Surrey Art Gallery
9th November - (closure date TBC): exhibition at Fine Art Society, Bond Street, London

Personal appearances by Gerald Scarfe as follows:
Friday 28th October: Guildford Book Festival - an illustrated talk. 7pm
Wednesday 9th November: The Old Market, Hove - an illustrated talk. 6.30pm
Thursday 10th November: book signing at Borders in Oxford - 6.30pm - 7.30pm
Wednesday 16th November: book signing and illustrated talk at Waterstone's Piccadilly, London. 7pm
Wednesday 23rd November: book signing and illustrated talk at Warwick Books. 7pm
Thursday 24th November: book signing and illustrated talk at Borders, Oxford Street, London. 6.30pm
We had the pleasure of attending one of Gerald's illustrated talks in London, last year, and it was a fascinating and amusing look at his career, including his work with Pink Floyd. Definitely worth going to one of these, if you can.

Advance orders for this keenly-awaited title, at time of writing at a good discount, can be placed through the following special links: Amazon.com (US/International), Amazon UK/Elsewhere, Canada, France, or Germany.

'Никому автограф не нужен?'

Cream, Royal Albert Hall, May 5, 2005

These pictures were taken by me in the top row of the stalls, directly across from the stage. Had I been there Friday night instead of Thursday night, I would have sat directly in front of The Beatles. However, the first picture is Roger Waters, so I'm not complaining. Nick Mason was in the box with him, but I'm not sure what he looks like.

At the Thursday Cream show, I
snapped a picture of Roger Waters. Later, I read Nick Mason was in the box
with him. Is Nick also in my picture? I want to know for some documentation
I am preparing. The high resolution version of the picture is at

Smiles & Grins founder J. David Spurlock was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine about Monday's show. He said, "Cream's New York shows rocked harder than May's London shows and the set was updated with the addition of Tales of Brave Ulysses!"

Spurlock also attended the ultra-exclusive CREAM after party October 26th in NYC with Cream members Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and their guests Carlos Santana, Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), Sheryl Crow, Lance Armstrong, Sting, Kip Hanrahan, Scooter Weintraub, Derek Araujo and many more.

Monday - 11/14
Roger Waters has not ruled out the possibility of teaming up with Pink Floyd again for shows following their reunion last summer at Live 8 in London. In regards to any future recordings, Waters tells Playboy, "I might be prepared to make a record, but there's no [bleeping] way I'm going to argue with David Gilmour about how to make it. It was horrible to have to fight with somebody about how to make Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. Of course, the results were spectacular." Perhaps Waters will discuss the possibility when they get together Wednesday night in London for their induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame.
