As those who have seen the show thus far, it is clear that the current Roger Waters – The Wall Live tour is a major achievement and a huge piece of production work, with a large number of people working behind the scenes.

With much thanks to our friend Mark Cunningham, we can bring you a fascinating seventeen page article which looks in depth at the people and equipment behind the show.

Mark runs the excellent Total Production International magazine, and he has given us as a Brain Damage exclusive his article on the event.

Young rockers add more bricks to ‘Wall’

Every year, it’s just another brick in “The Wall” for the more than 70 School of Rock locations around the country; it’s become a tradition to open their seasons with a recreation of Pink Floyd’s landmark 1979 album and mammoth stage show.

But this year, Wilmington School of Rock director Eric Svalgård and his new batch of rock warriors will mark the show’s fifth year in Delaware with elaborate staging, sampling and arranging to help bring the album to life.

Get your education at 8 p.m. Saturday at the School of Rock Garage, 484 Century Boulevard, Prices Corner; and at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at World Cafe Live at the Queen, 500 N. Market St., Wilmington.

Tickets $8 in advance and $10 at the door Saturday; $10 at the door only Sunday.

Transformers 3, aka Transformers: Dark of the Moon, is going to be brilliant. What’s that you say? Even Michael Bay admitted the last one was rubbish, so why should the next one be any different? Well, let’s just look at the facts.

First of all, DOTM very nearly has a Pink Floyd album in its title. And everyone knows that movies with Pink Floyd albums in their titles are usually great. Just look at 1987′s Bafta-winning Wish You Were Here starring Emily Lloyd, or the Floyd’s own The Wall from 1982. Bay has clearly chosen well here – even if he’s missed out a word in what is clearly a penny-pinching attempt not to pay Waters and Gilmour their due.

Second, instead of Megan Fox, Transformers 3 stars Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Fox, apparently dumped after comparing Bay to an “awkward Hitler”, has received some pretty mixed reviews for her acting performances over the years. Huntington-Whiteley, on the other hand, is an underwear model. And everyone knows that models make great actors. Bay is clearly so confident in her acting skills that in the trailer he doesn’t even need to get her to actually say anything. The look of fear on her face as giant bundles of steel and pixels smash their way randomly around the screen is enough to convince us this is a titan of the thespian profession in waiting.

Third, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, if the trailer is anything to go by, looks very different to the last instalment, which was pretty much just a load of preposterously enormous, utterly unidentifiable (except for the racist ones) robots throttling each other for nearly three hours. In part three, they’ll be doing all this in 3D. That’s twice the pain and torture for a mere £3.50 or so extra. Like I said: brilliant.
