 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.

 As Brain Damage regulars will know, often we hold a competition at the end of the year, giving away some hopefully interesting prizes. As 2011 comes to a close, we thought we'd better keep the tradition going, and hopefully provide you with a bit of fun working out the answers to our questions, some of which are quite tricky.
This year, we have the quiz-setting talents of Martin Kilbride to thank. Martin came up with the questions you'll see below, all of which are based around Pink Floyd, their music, and related stuff. We have some nice prizes on offer, for the winners:
- Dark Side Of The Moon Experience edition
- Wish You Were Here Experience edition
- Limited edition Best Buy (US) exclusive "Pink Floyd Sampler" CD
- Exclusive promo Why Pink Floyd? t-shirts (size large)
So, if you fancy any of that, make sure you enter!
Without further ado, here are the questions. The answers are all in alphabetical order, and the number of letters for the word/words we are after is shown in brackets after the clue. To be in with a chance of winning one of our great prizes, you'll need to answer as many as you can, correctly, and get them to us before the closing date - midnight GMT on January 8th, 2012. Entries need to be sent to
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
and please, just one entry per household. If you have a particular prize in mind, ensure you make a note on your entry as we will try to match prizes to those who want them, as best as possible. Good luck!
