Pink Floyd 1968WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!

Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!

Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's their RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too much longer before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital which is out now.

Adrian Maben gets career award Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 02 October 2006

This week, legendary film director Adrian Maben visits a film festival in Italy to receive a career award.

Adrian has had a long, productive career. Within the Floyd community, he is best known for Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii, in its original cinema released format, and the two subsequent expanded versions, and for the DVD which accompanied the double CD set of Roger Waters' opera, Ca Ira.

adrianAs we mentioned before, Adrian filmed the birth and creation of this opera with Roger, for over fifteen years. With well over 300 tapes to go through, Adrian certainly had his work cut out editing this down to the resulting documentary.

His work isn't done with the project though - we spoke with him on Friday night, and he revealed that he is working with the tapes from the recent Poznan performance of Ca Ira. As we get more information on what results from this, we will let you know.

This weekend, however, Adrian's mind will be on the 25th Festival del Film d'Arte e Biografie d'Artista, being held in Asolo, Italy. It is there that he is being awarded the "Flavia Paulon" career award, at an event that he tells us that he is looking forward to. He did jokingly acknowledge that this sort of award is normally given "when they think your career is over"!

To preceed the award ceremony will be a special screening of the "Making Of Ca Ira" as seen on the DVD. Reports elsewhere that this will be a new, expanded or alternate edit of this are incorrect. The screening takes place at 11:30am, on Sunday, October 8th.

Our congratulations to Adrian for the recognition of his long career. For more information on the event, go to www.asolofilmfestival.it.
