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.

Nick Mason: Goodwood Festival Of Speed event update and book review Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 08 February 2005

The 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed, which should yet again feature participation from Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, has announced revised dates. The event will now be held on June 24th - 26th, due to a decision by the FIA to revise its Formula One Grand Prix calendar. The Festival was to be held in July but the date has been changed so that there is no clash with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The event, a celebration of all forms of motor racing, which attracts drivers and enthusiasts from all over the world, has enjoyed the help and enthusiasm of Mason from the very seeds of the Festival, with Nick helping to drum up support and interest in the event. The 2005 Festival will be the twelfth, and is held in the Sussex, England grounds of Lord March's Goodwood estate.

More details of the event can be found at www.Goodwood.co.uk, and, as in the past couple of years, entry into the event will again be by advance ticket only, so visitors will need to ensure that they book in plenty of time so as to avoid any last minute disappointment. The change to advance ticket only policy has been implemented in order to preserve the Festival’s unique relaxed atmosphere following a period of sustained growth.

The ticket office can be contacted by telephone on +44 1243 755055, or you can book online at www.Goodwood.co.uk.

BOOK REVIEW
As we mentioned recently, Nick Mason has put down his drumsticks and picked up his pen yet again, contributing to the recently released "Goodwood Festival of Speed" book by Richard Sutton, which is published by Harper Collins.

We've taken a close look at this book, and report our findings in our full review of the book. This glorious, full colour large format book (featuring over 600 pictures!) includes a number of great pictures of, and sections involving, Nick Mason, including a section written by him about the Festival.

It is now available to order through our special links at Amazon.com, Canada, UK, France, or Germany, and is heartily recommended...
