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.

New Eric Clapton album features two Roger Waters guitarists Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 16 March 2004

The new album from Eric Clapton, due for release on March 22nd in the UK and Europe, and March 30th in the US, includes the talents of a couple of integral members of Roger Waters' band - guitarists Andy Fairweather-Low and Doyle Bramhall II.

"Me And Mr Johnson" features Clapton renditions of fourteen of the twenty-nine songs written and recorded by the legendary Mississippi blues master Robert Johnson over the course of his brief career in the 1930s. Clapton: "His music is like my oldest friend, always in the back of my head, and on the horizon. It is the finest music I have ever heard. I have always trusted its purity, and I always will."

Brain Damage has been given a sneak preview of the album, and it shows Clapton and his talented band at the height of their powers - evoking the 1930s of Johnson and his recordings, with a 21st century edge. The recording in places is fairly rough, in an attempt to sound like Johnson's vintage tracks - but sounds all the better for this attempt at authenticity. Andy Fairweather-Low and Doyle Bramhall II's contributions can be heard supplementing EC's soulful playing throughout.

Clapton is touring the album, and apart from Andy FL, the whole band is accompanying him on the road. Andy was initially thought to be included on the tour, but is now confirmed as not appearing, sadly. Included as part of the tour is Clapton's now normal residency at London's Royal Albert Hall. Doyle and Andy have both toured at length with Roger Waters, and Clapton himself provided guitar duties on Roger's Pros and Cons Of Hitchhiking Tour, and of course, the album itself...
