Brain Damage reports: 

Further to our last update (back in November last year) on the forthcoming 
Fender Strat Pack show DVD, we have some more news for you of this much 
anticipated title. 

The show, on 24th September, which featured Pink Floyd guitarist David 
Gilmour alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley 
Arena, was a charity event in aid of Nordoff-Robbins, and celebrated 50 
years of the Fender Stratocaster guitar. 

The concert alone raised £175,000 (around US$330,000) for the music 
therapy charity, and the DVD is expected to swell this figure dramatically. 

As we mentioned before, the concert has been mixed and edited in David 
Gilmour's home studio by David and Andy Jackson. The DVD is due to hit 
the streets in April, and we have had an update this week on progress of 
the title. 

With the audio mix done, the final touches are being made on the footage, 
shot under the watchful eye of Aubrey "Po" Powell, one part of Hypgnosis 
(the partnership with Storm Thorgerson), on high definition film. 

Strat enthusiast, musician and film maker Ray Minhinnett is also working 
on an updated version of his documentary "Curves, Contours and Body 
Horns - History Of The Fender Stratocaster" for inclusion on the DVD. The 
original version of this was screened on the UK ITV television channel in 
1994, and featured interviews with a veritable "who's who" of legendary 
guitarists, including Gilmour. 

We should have further information on the DVD release soon.
