 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 at 2005 Goodwood Festival Of Speed |

Pink Floyd's Nick Mason appeared at Goodwood House last week (June 24th-26th), as part of the 2005 Goodwood Festival Of Speed, which is held on Lord March's front lawn in Sussex, England. The event involves the finest vehicles from all over the world coming together with the finest drivers, who drive up a hill trying to miss hay bales and stone walls, whilst trying to beat the time set by others.
Some of you will recall that Nick was present at the launch of the event, that we reported on back on March 18th, taking a small selection of his cars to Goodwood House.
Over the weekend, Nick, his wife Annette, and his daughter Holly, all took part, doing timed runs on the hillclimb course. Nick in particular set an impressive 20th fastest driver of the event, and Annette and Holly set 35th fastest.
Nick had cars entered into three classes (categories). The first, his beautiful, blue Bugatti Type 35B was in class 2 - "Clash Of The Titans", which covers Grand Prix and International Autodrome Racing between 1912 - 1939. Annette and Holly helmed the car, taking second fastest time overall in the class.
Class 6 - "Running Rings Around The Opposition", consisting of legends of the Indianapolis 500, had Nick's March Cosworth driven by Danny Sullivan, in a demo run (in other words, not timed).
Finally, class 11 - "Staying Power" featuring international sports-racing rivals from 1965-80, had Nick driving his 4.9 litre Ferrari 512BB/LM to third fastest place. The car has special aerodynamics designed by the Ferrari customer division for the Le Mans 1979 race, where the car was driven to a very respectable 12th overall, with one of the four drivers over the 24 hour period being the late Steve O'Rourke (who was the Floyd's manager).
Nick's next outing at Goodwood is expected to be the Revival Festival, which is being held this year on September 16th-18th. The Revival Festival features classic cars racing around the Goodwood circuit, against each other, in contrast to the timed solo runs up a hill in the Festival Of Speed. Both events give good access for the public to the drivers and their cars - a rarity in motor-racing these days. More details can be found at www.Goodwood.co.uk.
