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.

Gilmour - no DVD planned of Gdansk show Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 30 July 2006

As many of you are aware, David Gilmour will be concluding his current tour by playing a special show at the Gdansk Shipyards, in front of a huge crowd of 100,000. The show falls on August 26th, the day that commemorates the 26th anniversary of Poland's 1980 revolution, where nationwide strikes led to the eventual fall of communism, and the Solidarity trade union was founded.

Stories are starting to appear in the Polish media that the concert will be filmed by David Mallet and a fifty-strong crew, for release on DVD. With the Royal Albert Hall shows from the end of May being prepared for DVD, we thought we'd check the truth of this out with David's management. They confirm that there are currently no plans for Mallet and his crew to record the concert, and also that no DVD of the event is planned, either. Of course, should this change, we will let you know.

David's own website revealed recently that the performance will be the full two-hour-plus version (no opening act), as seen elsewhere, with the full complement of Marc Brickman's lighting, including lasers. For the first time, David's live show will include a 38-member orchestra, with renowned Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner conducting his arrangements from the On An Island album – which is a Platinum record in Poland – so it should be a very memorable show.

Tickets for the Gdansk concert are now on sale via Ticketpro.pl, and more details of the show can be found over at our Gdansk concert page.

Our thanks to David's management for their help.
