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.

David Gilmour at Fender Strat Pack DVD - version information Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 08 May 2005

Further to our recent updates on the forthcoming Fender Strat Pack show DVD, including our full review, with screen shots, and our great competition for you to win one of FIVE copies of the DVD, we have an important update on the contents of the DVD.

The show, on September 24th 2004, which featured Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley Arena, was a charity event. The concert alone raised £175,000 (around US$330,000), and the DVD is expected to swell this figure dramatically, as it is also being sold in aid of the charity. It is now available and selling strongly.

We've heard from a few people in the US and Canada, who have their copies of this DVD. The DTS surround sound option, found on the European version, is missing from the edition being sold in the US/Canada.

However, the DVD makes up for this by having a set of interviews (with The Crickets, Gary Moore, The Shadows, Mike Rutherford, Joe Walsh, Paul Rodgers, Brian May, Albert Lee, and Andy Fairweather-Low - who has long played with Roger Waters on the road) that don't appear on the European version.

UPDATE: we now understand that the company releasing the DVD in the US made an error on the packaging of the disk. Initial copies state that it contains the DTS soundtrack, and future copies will not show this error. The European copies definitely DO have the DTS soundtrack though, and is the edition that we reviewed.

If you want to place an order for either edition, at a healthy discount, you can do so by selecting either Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Amazon.ca (Canada), Amazon France, or Amazon Germany through our special links.
