Live Nation Merchandising Inc. filed suit in U.S. District Court in Boston over the use of Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters’ image on T-shirts and other merchandise.
The suit doesn’t name those it accuses of marketing the merchandise around Waters’ current tour of “The Wall.”
Live Nation says it has the exclusive right to market merchandise before, during and after “The Wall” performances.
Bootleg concert merchandise … there’s something you don’t see everyday.

Roger Waters‘ Web site is now selling official tour merchandise from his current tour of “The Wall.”
These items are presumably the same ones available at the concert venues.
The U.S. store offers 10 items ranging from $11.95 (mug) to $100 (lithograph).
Our favorite: The red hammers T-shirt (pictured).

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has indicated a Pink Floyd anthology and catalog reissue might be in the works.
His comments appear in an interview published in the recent issue of Rhythm magazine.
“We’ve been developing the idea of a Pink Floyd anthology for a long time. I’ve spent quite a lot of time trying to find the material. I really enjoy that, but it’s time consuming,” he says.
“We’re talking about doing a big reissue of the Pink Floyd catalogue because there is the belief that there eventually will be the point that there simply won’t be enough market to generate those sort of packages. That would be a tragedy, so it’s a good time to do it.”

The Orb‘s “Metallic Spheres” album, to be released this fall, will feature guitar work by Pink Floyd‘s David Gilmour.
Gilmour’s contributions come from a jam session with Martin “Youth” Glover (Killing Joke), originally intended only for an ambient remix of “Chicago,” the Graham Nash song Gilmour helped re-record to benefit alleged UK computer hacker and cause celebre Gary McKinnon.
“Metallic Spheres” will be released in October, with all artist royalties going to benefit McKinnon’s plight to fight extradition to the United States.
There will be two versions of the CD release: A standard, single-disc version; and a two-disc deluxe set. The deluxe version will include the standard CD, along with a second disc presenting the material in 3D60™ sound.
3D60™ is a new sound production process developed by Glover, sound engineer Mike Brady (The Jam) and Ian Thompson that simulates three-dimensional sound without any special equipment needed.
The album will also be available on vinyl and as a download on iTunes.
