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 "Miller Strat Pack" charity concert - broadcast and DVD info Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 30 September 2004

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour appeared alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley Arena charity event on September 24th to celebrate the Fender Stratocaster guitar, and we now have more info on the radio, television and DVD versions of the show, for you.

The event, in aid of Nordoff-Robins Music Therapy, included Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Joe Walsh (The Eagles), Brian May (Queen), Paul Rodgers, The Shadows' Hank Marvin, Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), Mike Rutherford (Genesis/Mike & The Mechanics), Paul Carrack (Squeeze/Mike & The Mechanics), The Crickets, Gary Moore, Jamie Cullum and Amy Winehouse.

Here's the details of how you can enjoy the show (again):

Radio broadcast: October 8th, on Capital Gold. This is a 1.5 hour broadcast of the highlights of the show, which based on Capital Gold's listener profile should mean a full repeat of Gilmour's segment, with Winehouse and Cullum being chopped. It will be broadcast from 22:00hrs, and can be heard on AM radio, DAB radio, Sky/NTL/Telewest, or you can listen live via Capital's website.

TV broadcast: It is due to appear on TV at some point, but legal clearance is still being sorted out before details and dates can be announced.

DVD release: This is currently being worked on, and a release is being scheduled before Christmas 2004. The DVD will be released worldwide, and all profits will go to Nordoff-Robbins.

As we get more detail on the TV and DVD release we will let you know.

Many who attended the show were left disappointed when trying to buy one of the event t-shirts, which sold out before the show even started. The organisers underestimated the number of shirts that would sell, and sent along too few. Plans are now afoot, for all those who missed out (including us!) to sell the shirts through the Fender website. We should have more information on this in the next week or so and will let you know as soon as we do. They were nice t-shirts, with David Gilmour given top billing on the rear!

Our thanks to Dan at LD for the info...
