Released in the UK on 23rd January, the "Syd Barrett - Under Review" DVD is an hour-long look at the musical history of the former Pink Floyd frontman. On the Chrome Dreams label, it promises "rare performance footage never before on DVD" - a boast common to many DVDs coming out these days.

We've taken a good look at this new release, taking a look through the marketing talk so that we can let you know our views on it.

We reported a few days ago the final, confirmed release date of the Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD, which judging by the battering our inbox has had over the last couple of years, is heavily anticipated. However, the delays and postponements to this title (to include technical additions and modifications) has proved a sore point with many of you.

The two disc DVD will be in the stores on September 18th, 2006, worldwide, and not a moment too soon for many of you. In a small departure from our normal news coverage, and as it is the weekend, we thought we'd share the thoughts of a Brain Damage regular, Graham Hignett, who has seen first-hand what happens when a DVD comes out before it is completely ready.

Pink Floyd fans in Australia who fancy seeing something a bit different next month, and perhaps with Roger Waters' recent comments about classical music in the interesting BBC documentary, in their minds, have got a night out to consider.

With the first show in exactly six weeks time, David Gilmour has revealed the band who will be accompanying him on his On An Island tour - and a superb line-up it is too.

The tour is to support his new album, which is released on March 6th. The tour, David’s first since the record-breaking 1994 Pink Floyd Division Bell tour, starts in Hamburg on March 10th, goes to North America in April and returns to the UK at the end of May.
