 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.

Further to our recent reports on
David Gilmour's very special concert for the BBC, to be broadcast on
the corporation's Radio 2 station next month, we now have details of
how non-ticket holders, worldwide, can SEE the concert, as well as hear
it!

BBC Radio 2 concerts, including
forthcoming David Gilmour show |
The event is to showcase David's
forthcoming album, "On An Island", which hits the stores on March 6th
in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US, but will also include a
selection of David's favourite Pink Floyd tracks, too. The appearance
will be at London's Mermaid Theatre, which has a maximum capacity of
600, on March 7th. The show is being recorded for an hour-long
broadcast on BBC Radio 2 a few days later on Saturday, March 11th, at
8:30pm GMT.
As we mentioned before, tickets
are not on sale for this show; to be in with a chance, you have to be
resident in the UK, you need to answer the question over at www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/davidgilmour
correctly, AND be one of the lucky ones picked at random from all the
correct entries received. HURRY, as the competition closes at midnight
GMT on Sunday, February 26th - TOMORROW!
If you are outside the UK, or
don't manage to get tickets, you will be able to listen to the BBC
Radio 2 broadcast of the concert in a number of ways. Those in the UK
and Europe can receive the station via FM or DAB radios, via satellite,
cable and freeview TV systems. Listeners worldwide can tune in via the
excellent Listen Live/Listen Again facilities at www.BBC.co.uk/radio2.
We also hear that the concert
will be syndicated worldwide, and we hope to bring you full details of
the local broadcasters by the end of the week.
HOW YOU CAN SEE THE CONCERT
Once the concert has finished airing on BBC Radio 2, at 9:30pm, then you have the chance to SEE highlights of the show!
In what is BBC Radio 2's first
interactive TV production, you need to tune in to BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 or
BBC4 TV, where you can then press the "red button" if you have digital
cable, satellite or freeview TV. Until March 14th you'll be able to see
a 30 minute edit of the concert.
However, if that's not long enough for you, go to www.BBC.co.uk/Radio2, where those on a fast, broadband connection will be able to watch a 60 minute edit of the concert!
Our thanks to axious for helping with this story...
