 WOW - 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.

Nick Mason and Steve O'Rourke at Goodwood Revival Festival |

Nick Mason appeared at the (sometimes damp) Goodwood Revival Festival in Sussex, England on September 6th - 8th. This event celebrates motor racing from principally the 1950s (and early 1960s) and is steeped in tradition and nostalgia, held at a racing circuit that used to be used for Formula 1 races amongst other things. Indeed, the nostalgia extends to most attendees dressing up in period clothing! The event consists of thirteen races in total (four on Saturday 7th, and nine on Sunday 8th).
Nick took part in a number of events, as did Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke. Here's a run-down of what they appeared in, and how they did:
Graham Hill Tribute: A parade and gridline display commemorating his racing career. Nick entered his 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO 62 (in which Hill came second in the 1962 TT at Goodwood), and Steve entered a 1957 BRM Type 25 (Hill used in 1960 in his debut for BRM in Argentina). Not a race so no results.
Freddie March Memorial Trophy: A ninety minute two-driver race for cars in the spirit of the Goodwood Nine-Hour races held between 1952-1955. Nick and Annette Mason (his wife) entered a 1949 Frazer Nash Le Mans, which finished 14th.
Richmond & Gordon Trophies: A fifteen lap race for Inter-Continental and F1 cars of a type that raced between 1954 and 1961. Steve O'Rourke entered the 1957 BRM again, and he managed to finish 13th.
RAC TT Celebration: A one hour, two-driver race for closed-cockpit GT cars 1960-1964. Nick drove with Bobby Rahal in a 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ1 but only managed one lap before retiring, and Steve (with Derek Bell) entered a 1961 Ferrari 250 GTO SWB/C. On Sunday for the race itself, Steve was replaced by Alain De Cadenet. The car lasted just two laps before retiring.
Glover Trophy: A sixteen lap race for 1.5 litre F1 and F1-based Tasman cars 1961-1965. Steve entered a 1962 Lotus-Climax 24, and finished 12th.
Sussex Trophy: A fourteen lap race for World Championship sports cars and production sports-racing cars of a type that raced between 1956-1960. Steve entered a 1957 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly", but only completed 8 laps before stopping, and Nick entered his 1959 Maserati Tipo61 "Birdcage", and finished a very respectable 7th.
