The Floydseum, a group of Pink Floyd enthusiasts, collectors and experts, have just announced an exhibition - The Night Of Wonders - to celebrate the 1989 Floyd concert held in Venice in front of a local audience of over 250,000, and an international TV audience of over 100 million.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the show, the opening of the exhibition - at Spazio Porto, the former church of Santa Marta in Venice, Italy - has a few special events to kick things off. In itself, the exhibition offers rare photos, videos and collectibles relating to this concert, but the organisers have lined up some interesting events on July 9th and July 12th.

On the 9th at 6pm, at the Sala Apollinea Grande, Teatro La Fenice, a press conference for the exhibition leads an evening focused on (curiously) not the 1989 concert, but the Roger Waters opera, Ca Ira. Adrian Maben's film of Roger's work, showing the making of the suite, and the evening concludes with extracts from the 2006 Poznan performance of Ca Ira.

Then, at the weekend, Saturday 12th July, the exhibition opens to the public at midday. This is followed by a talk from Fran Tomasi, promoter of the Floyd concert in the lagoon in front of St Mark's Square 25 years before, and one of the driving forces behind The Pink Floyd Exhibition - Their Mortal Remains.

The upcoming Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, which opens on September 19th 2014 in the Italian city of Milan is now under two months away. Tickets for the highly anticipated event are selling very well, and many are clearly now making plans for a visit to what promises to be a fascinating look through the band's history.

For those who have ordered the limited packages, these are now starting to be sent out. As you'll see from these pictures, the presentation of the Day One package, which gives admission on the opening date, is of a high standard - as one would expect. The hinged box (itself nicely designed on both sides and all edges) opens to reveal a soft felt backing, and a foam rubber insert holding the contents.

Adjacent to the smartcard, unique for every ticket holder, are a couple of leaflets - one in English and Italian, and the other, just Italian. These cover details of what the package offers - discounts, a fastpath entrance, exclusive content, and entry on a future day without buying an additional ticket - as well as some information on what the exhibition promises. There's also a limited edition Day One leather bracelet.

With the tickets selling well, and if you are able to go to Milan, we would advise that you head over to ticket.PinkFloydExhibition.com soon to secure the date (and if you choose, the time of entrance too) that you are intending to visit, before certain dates sell out.

Jason Prufer has been hard at work uncovering a wealth of information about a show that Pink Floyd performed on their 1973 tour of The Dark Side of the Moon.

The concert was held at Kent State University's Memorial Gym (now known as the MAC Center), in Ohio, on March 10th, 1973 and like many shows on that tour, information other than a setlist has been virtually non-existent.

Now, thanks to Jason's hard work, his kentfloyd.blogspot.com site has a number of new, previously unpublished photos, alongside testimonials from inside the gym that night. It gives a fascinating look at a show from around the time their iconic album was just coming out, when no-one could have anticipated just how notable it became, and how it would continue to win over new listeners decades later.

Our thanks to Jason for getting in touch. Do visit his blog - alongside the recollections, there's some great pictures too!

Just a quick update for you regarding Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell 20th Anniversary boxset and vinyl - and it is good news for all of you intending to purchase your copy from Amazon UK. Since it was announced, they've been out of step price-wise with other retailers, including other Amazon branches around the world.

They have now dropped their price to a much better level, £99.99, similar to other places. For those who have already ordered this, don't despair - with their pre-order price guarantee, you will automatically pay the lowest price offered between the date you order it, and the release date. So, there's no need to cancel your order and place it again.

From some of the emails we've had, it seems that there's a split of interest - many of you are after the boxset, with its multitude of discs, prints, and vinyl, but some of you are just after the (finally unabridged) album on double vinyl. For those who want the boxset but also the vinyl album, don't worry, it is in the boxset with all the other goodies.

You can preorder either from:
