 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.

Fender Strat Pack concert DVD - win one of five copies |

Further to our recent updates on the forthcoming Fender Strat Pack show DVD, we have taken a good look at this disc, and our full review, with screen shots, can be found in our reviews section. We also have a great competition for you - win one of FIVE copies 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.
As we mentioned before, the concert was edited and mixed into full surround sound in David Gilmour's home studio, by David himself and Andy Jackson. The main feature (the concert itself) is a whopping two and a half hours long - the main aspect that has been edited out is David Jensen's on-stage introduction of the artistes, along with a few tracks from some of the lesser performers on the bill.
The DVD arrives in stores from tomorrow (UK and Europe) and Tuesday May 3rd in US and Canada. The concert footage was shot under the watchful eye of Aubrey "Po" Powell, one part of Hipgnosis (the partnership with Storm Thorgerson), in high definition, which has resulted in a great picture.
To get a taster of the release, the upcoming issue of UK magazine Guitarist will have a cover-mounted DVD. This includes a sequence from the show, with David playing the legendary Strat with serial number
0001. Rest assured though, there is no footage on this covermount that is not on the real thing!
COMPETITION - WIN ONE OF FIVE COPIES OF THE DVD!
To be in with a chance of winning one of these on DVD, simply answer the following questions:
What year was the Fender Stratocaster introduced?
Who invented and developed the original Fender guitars?
What charity is benefiting from the concert AND the DVD proceeds?
What Floyd track, only played live a couple of times, did David Gilmour perform as part of his set in the show?
Please note that the DVD is in PAL format - not NTSC - so please make sure that your equipment can play it before entering. You should send your answers, along with your name and country of residence, to Brain Damage with "Strat Pack" as the subject before the end of the month, when the five winners will be drawn.
If you can't wait until then, advance orders for the DVD, at a healthy discount, are now being taken by Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Amazon.ca (Canada), Amazon France, or Amazon Germany through our special links.
Our thanks to Dan for providing us with these great prizes, and for his help throughout.
