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.

Guy Pratt announces more shows Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 23 September 2006
006With David Gilmour's On An Island tour now complete, Guy Pratt, who very ably took care of bass duties in the band (and on the album), is keeping himself busy. Having had such a great time on the tour, he told us that he is "missing the road terribly...", and so has told us about his four upcoming one-man shows in London.

A short while ago he contacted us to thank all the Brain Damage readership who submitted their comments about the Gilmour shows. Your reviews obviously gave the band something to read in quiet moments, and maybe even gave them food for thought! You can read the reviews, and information about the shows, in our David Gilmour 2006 tour zone.

Naturally, Guy has added material from this 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: http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/reviews/guylive.html.

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 will be available from the venue box office on (tel:) 0207-226-1916, and from online ticket agent, Ticketweb.co.uk. Tickets should be available soon.

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! The Floyd content was excellent, but then so were his anecdotes about the many other top artists he has worked with, too. We're really pleased that Guy has announced more shows... We'll be there, and urge you to be there, too...
