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 feature in new Guitarist magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 22 November 2005

The November 2005 edition of the UK's Guitarist magazine has an interesting feature on David Gilmour, looking at his ten best guitar moments.

The feature is a mix of reportage and interview segments with David, focusing on the exact tunings or effects used to create the trademark sound in each song.

Guitarist, Nov 2005
Guitarist, November 2005
There is also a "Did you know" type fun fact that accompanies each entry - some of which are well known, some not such well known (an example being Storm Thorgerson's original idea for the Meddle album cover!).

To accompany the piece are a nice selection of pictures of David in action with the band over the years, ranging from 1968 to the present day. Thankfully some of the pictures used are uncommon examples, which makes a change from the usual shots that appear.

Any list of "best moments" courts controversy, but none-the-less, here is what they came up with:

  • One Of These Days
  • Echoes
  • Money
  • Shine On You Crazy Diamond
  • Dogs
  • Comfortably Numb
  • Another Brick In The Wall (pt 2)
  • The Fletcher Memorial Home
  • Sorrow
  • Coming Back To Life
In addition to the feature, the magazine and cover CD features a tutorial for Comfortably Numb, giving instruction on how to play the classic track, and includes a shot of David from Live 8.

Elsewhere in the magazine, there is also a huge feature on Led Zeppelin, looking at the inside story of Physical Graffiti.

The magazine is now available in the UK, and from selected outlets outside the UK as an import. Our thanks to John Johnstone for his help in bringing this story to you.
