Back on June 16th
we brought you the news that the historic concert Roger Waters is
holding on Thursday will be broadcast worldwide by local Israeli radio
stations, bringing his live performance of Pink Floyd's classic Dark
Side of the Moon album to fans across the planet.

The show is being held at Neve
Shalom at the foot of the Latrun monastery, on the road between Tel
Aviv and Jerusalem. It is a village of Israeli-Palestinian co-existence.
As we reported, the show is being
broadcast live on local radio. It will be aired on 88FM and also Reshet
Bet, which is part of the Israeli Broadcasting Authority. Both stations
have internet streams, and both stations implied that they would be
airing the show on these streams.
However, we heard last night from
Neve Shalom's public relations, who told us that the show would NOT be
aired via the internet streams, as if either station did this, it would
break the conditions of the contract they have with Neve Shalom for the
concert.
The contract allows them only to air the show on local airwaves.
However... it is not
inconcievable that one or both of these stations might experience
technical difficulties and accidentally put the concert on their
stream, or indeed might "forget" to turn it off! Worth tuning in just
in case, is our advice!
Our thanks to Howard at Neve Shalom for the update.
