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 interviews Phil Manzanera this weekend Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 27 July 2007

phil manzanera With the first of the four, 3-hour specials hosted by Guy Pratt being broadcast on Planet Rock radio from tomorrow night (full details here), we've had more details on this from our friends over at the radio station - and it sounds even more essential listing for Floyd fans!

Guy will be conducting an in-depth interview with Phil Manzanera about his upcoming radio series (more on this below), his new album, and the genesis of David Gilmour's whole On An Island project right up to the live DVD.

Phil is going to present Planet Rock's major summer series. It's a 12 part weekly show called "A Is For Axe", which is the A-Z of Great Guitarists. Phil is such a huge guitar aficionado that he's the perfect chap to go through the different styles of playing of the worlds best players. It starts August 5th, and is on every Sunday at 8pm BST, repeated the following Friday at 6pm BST.

Phil said: "They are a series of shows where I attempt to showcase significant guitarists of the 20 and 21st century playing great guitar tracks and occasionally trying to work out on my guitar how to play certain things, which inevitably turns out to be impossible! I do however solve the mystery of which is a better pick, a sixpence, a 20p piece, a quid coin or a Euro. So important stuff then!"

As a reminder, Guy's 3-hour shows are airing as follows:

- Saturday, July 28th
- Sunday, July 29th
- Saturday, August 18th
- Sunday, August 19th
Each show airs between 9pm and midnight. Guy's interview with Phil will be split over the first two shows, and will be in the 10pm hour both nights.

Those in the UK can tune in to Planet Rock via DAB Digital Radio, on Sky channel 0110, and on cable channel 924. However, the station reaches the world via a live stream at www.PlanetRock.com, so no-one need miss out!
