 WOW - 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.

 To coincide with the Christmas holiday at the end of December, and to mark the end of the first year of the new design Brain Damage website, we put together a bumper sack of Pink Floyd goodies to give away. Whilst we thought the prizes (shown to the left, click on the thumbnail) would be popular, we had no idea we'd get quite so many entries!
With DVDs, books, and tour programmes amongst the prizes, there was clearly something of interest
for everyone... but were you one of the lucky winners? Find out here!
Our question for you, to put you in with a chance of winning one of the prizes above, related to the Christmas On Earth Continued concert, which took place 40 years ago on December 22nd, 1967.
Billed as an "All night Christmas dream party", running from 8pm to 8am, it featured a stunning line-up for your £1 (which admittedly would have been quite a price in those days).
Amongst the advertised attractions were the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Eric Burdon & The
Animals, The Who, The Move, The Soft Machine, plus others, alongside the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. Wow!
You needed to tell us: in which London venue was the concert held? The answer was the Grand & National Halls of Kensington's Olympia (but we accepted entries which gave just "Olympia" or just "Grand & National Halls").
Here's who won the prizes that were up for grabs:
- David Gilmour's "Remember That Night: Live At The Royal Albert Hall" live 2-disc DVD (PAL format): Cees Kraaijeveld, The Netherlands
- "The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story" 2-disc DVD (NTSC format): Ryan D. Kearns, Ohio, USA
- Mark Blake's "Pigs Might Fly" book: [winner's name withheld], Brazil
- Nicholas Schaffner's "A Saucerful Of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey" book: Dave Carlin, Sheffield, UK
- Patrick Humphries' "Illustrated History Of Pink Floyd" book: Alexander Zheleznov, Moscow, Russia
- Jeff Bench & Daniel O'Brien's "Pink Floyd The Wall: In The Studio, On Stage, And On Screen" book: Robert Simeone, Thames Ditton, UK
- 6 x David Gilmour DVD Premiere programmes and Syd Barrett tribute concert programmes (the winners will get one of each): Timothy Bader, Ohio, USA; Geneviève Le Bas, Plouagat, France; Luis Felipe Pepe, Sao Paolo, Brazil; Steve Harris, Victoria, Australia; Pierre Robitaille, Quebec, Canada; and Marek Grzesiak, Warsaw, Poland
- 2 x Pink Floyd Interstellar exhibition programmes for the opening weekend's film screenings: Patrick Bouchard, Quebec city, Canada, and Jason Day, MO, USA
Well done to all these winners; we're just sad that we didn't have more prizes to give away! Better luck next time to those who weren't fortunate enough to win this time around.
