 WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!
It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!
The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!
There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.
Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!
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 the 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 long 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 on August 1st!

Barrett tribute and Gilmour TV repeat |

As a tribute, BBC2 TV in the UK are
showing the 2001 Omnibus documentary "Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond"
again, on July 27th at 11:20pm BST (GMT+1hr).
Most of you will be familiar with
this, but if you haven't seen it, it is a fascinating, and well
crafted, look at the history of the band with a particular focus on the
very early days of the band.

From Tomorrow's World, BBC TV 1967
as seen in Barrett documentary |
Interviews with all significant
parties are included; not just the usual suspects, but people such as
Bob Klose, who left the band shortly before their rise to fame. Such is
the love felt for Syd, it is an affectionate, touching and very honest
tribute to the man.
Upon it's original broadcast,
producer/director John Edginton (who kindly told us about this repeat
showing), revealed that Barrett had seen the documentary, and Syd had
told his sister: "There was a programme about me on TV last night," to
which Rose said, "Oh right, really?". He said, "It was pretty good
actually, I enjoyed it." He particularly enjoyed seeing Mike Leonard,
his old landlord, again, he loved hearing the song "See Emily Play"
again, and Rose said the documentary had given him a real boost, a lift.
BBC2 can be seen via terrestrial and all cable/satellite platforms in the UK and various countries in northern Europe.
The documentary on a double disc DVD can be ordered, with a discount, through the following special links: Amazon UK/Europe, France, or Germany.
Alternatively, you can order from Amazon US/International, or Canada, the single-disc NTSC edition from 2004.
BBC2 TV is also showing the
"Three Men In A Boat" two hour long two-parter again. Many of you will
recall that the first part, which is being shown on August 2nd at 9pm,
shows the main protagonists in the show happening upon David Gilmour's
Astoria houseboat studio. Upon tying up their boat, they take a tour
around the boat, and David gives them a taster of work-in-progress on
the then unreleased "On An Island" album.
David only appears in the first part of this production.
