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.

ALERT: Tim Renwick has guitars stolen Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 11 February 2008

tim renwickBorn and raised in Cambridge, Tim Renwick is a name familiar to most of you. He is an old friend of David Gilmour, and he was a key part of Pink Floyd's touring band from 1987 onwards. He played with the band at the Live8 concert in Hyde Park in 2005. He also played with Roger Waters on his Pros and Cons tour of 1984.

Sadly, he has just been in contact with the Sound On Sound music recording magazine's website to report the theft of his own guitars from his studio, and in case any Brain Damage visitors can help, we've included the information here about what has gone missing...

The guitars that have been taken are Fender Strats and various acoustics:

Fender Stratocaster solid body electric guitars:

  1. Sea foam green (turquoise) pearlised scratchplate - custom guitar built by Brinsley Schwartz for Chandler Guitars. Japanese wood/US electrics Seymour Duncan 'Alnico 2' pickups Serial No:U035585.
  2. Cream 'Elite' model (no tremolo) '85 EMG pickups Serial No:E3300719. (Headstock with erased letters - reading 'ratocaster') as used on LiveAid 85 with Eric Clapton Band.
  3. Metallic silver - Custom shop Vintage Series - Serial No: V045489. Lace Sensor p/ups & coloured headstock. As used on Pink Floyd 'Pulse' albums.

PLUS a small USA Gibson amplifier (1949) cream with pink perspex front.

Acoustic guitars:

  1. Martin 000C16RGTE serial no: 1140783 this has a built-in 'Aura' pickup system and a rounded cutaway. Instrument only bought last year, so in very good condition, in black Martin case with gold (coloured) metalwork.
  2. Martin M38 '75 (Tim thinks) Serial no: 398602 Beautiful guitar given to Tim by The Bee Gees in thanks for recording and touring with their younger brother Andy Gibb.
  3. Takamine Ac/El 6-string Model EN18C (stereo) Two jack outputs and a rounded cutaway Serial no:90010481. 14 frets to body. Average condition. THIS GUITAR HAS NOW BEEN FOUND

All guitars were in appropriate original cases.

Our thanks to Barkley Mckay for alerting us to this.
