Pink Floyd 1968 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.

Gerald Scarfe at Kampa Museum, Prague

Written by Matt

Wednesday, 31 July 2013

As we told you back on July 8th, Gerald Scarfe's exhibition of more than 100 large-format drawings and watercolours opened at the beautiful Kampa Museum in Prague on July 24th 2013 and will run there until October 13th 2013.

Our friend Vlado Marcinek was there for the press conference the day prior to opening (July 23rd) and the fan meeting on the opening day itself, and to the right, and below, exclusively shares his pictures with you. Now, over to Vlado for his report:

First of all, I don't have to say this but I will. Gerald is a true genius, a very kind and friendly person, a true professional and true gentleman. Having spoken to him, he is clearly just that gentleman you know from various of interviews on the internet, on DVDs, and on Youtube (such as the exclusive videos produced for Brain Damage).

During the press conference he explained how he began to draw, who inspired him and told us that The Wall mainly is the reason why he's here in Prague. I asked him about his latest collaboration with Roger on his new The Wall tour and he explained to me the story of how he met him in 1971, how they've become friends and how Roger brought those cassettes with The Wall demo to his house. He also mentioned he meets Roger, David, Nick regularly and they're all friends.

When the press conference was over, he did a TV interview and then kindly took us all through his exhibition and made comments on each of his drawing! So not even I saw the whole exhibition before it's official open, but Gerald himself took me through it! Can you imagine anything more spectacular than a tour with the man himself? :)

The exhibition is all very interesting and inspiring. He told several very interesting stories during both events I didn't know, such as the one when he was portraiting The Beatles and Ringo asked him to draw his picture on one of his actual walls in his house!

He also told us about an American soldier fighting in the Gulf, who wrote to him explaining that his drawings helped him to get through hard times and he had his whole arm tattooed with Gerald's images. He also send him the medal he got, but Gerald sent it back saying he couldn't keep it as he didn't deserve it, as he was not a hero...
