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 - "Three Men In A Boat" pictures Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 04 January 2006

As previously reported, this week, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour made a fascinating guest appearance in a special BBC comedy production, which aired on BBC2 TV.

The production was an attempt to re-trace the journey up the Thames immortalised by Jerome K Jerome in his classic Three Men in a Boat. The three comedians taking part came across David's houseboat recording studio, The Astoria, early on their first day, and decided to play a visit.

David, ever the affable host, gave them a guided tour of the boat and even played an excerpt of a work-in-progress track to the trio - "Smile". Many of you will recall that this received its debut at David's Meltdown concert in London, in 2001. Five years later, very little has changed in the song - still a beautifully mellow, drifting love song.

We'll keep an eye open for a repeat of this show for all those who missed it. In the meantime, below are a number of screen shots from the programme, to give you a good flavour of what it entailed. And for all of you who have written to ask, we will not be making the sequence available for download from this site, as it is a copyrighted item - apologies.
