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.

Did you win tickets to Guy Pratt's show? Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 11 October 2006

Last month, we brought you the news that Guy Pratt, who very ably took care of bass duties on David Gilmour's On An Island tour, had arranged some more of his fantastic one-man shows. He told us that having had such a great time on the tour, he was "missing the road terribly...", hence the new shows. The even better news is that he's given us a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky BD visitor!

 

Guy Pratt's November 2006 showsGuy has naturally has added material from David's tour to his show, which now includes anecdotes relating to his work not only with David and the Floyd, but also other luminaries such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bryan Ferry, and Whitesnake's David Coverdale. It has received enthusiastic reviews from many sources, and indeed, our own review of the show can be read through this link.

The shows will all take place at the historic King's Head Theatre in Islington, North London, on 13th, 20th, 26th and 27th November. Tickets are NOW available from the venue box office on (tel:) 0207-226-1916, or from ticket agency Ticketweb on 08700-600-100 (24 hours a day).

For those who haven't seen the show, we urge you to go. At breathtaking pace, Guy brings to vivid life some of the absurdities of life on the road, and the absurd characters, too. An excellent way to spend an evening!

And now to the competition itself... To win the pair of tickets for the show of your choice, courtesy of Guy, you need to answer the following questions correctly:

  1. Where and when was the first Pink Floyd show that Guy played bass at?
  2. True or false? Guy played at Live 8.
  3. Who famously said: "Bass players are ten a penny but a good wit is hard to find, so we hired him."?
  4. Which Australian band gave Guy his big break at the tender age of 19, and who's tour did they provide support for?
If you struggle with some of the answers, you might find it worthwhile to visit www.guypratt.com! Email your answers, together with your postal address, to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with the subject line of "Guy Pratt", by 11:59pm (UK time) on October 30th. Please note that no correspondence will be entered into, and that the competition mailbox is unmonitored - entries will be checked on October 31st, a winner picked at random by an independent party, and the winner announced here shortly after.

The very best of luck to you all...and thanks to Guy for the great prize!

NOTE: COMPETITION NOW CLOSED AND WINNER IS: Phil Rackley from Birmingham, UK. Well done Phil and enjoy the show!
