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.

Firstly, our hearty best wishes to
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who celebrates his 62nd birthday today.
Congratulations Nick - and many happy returns!
Nick will no doubt be spending
part of his birthday preparing for his trip to Germany, to continue the
promotion of his wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of
Pink Floyd".

Nick will be signing copies of his book, as well as all
manner of Floyd memorabilia, when he appears at the Buchhandlung
Weiland in Hamburg, at 20:45hrs on 30th January, and at the
Kulturkaufhaus Dussmann in Berlin the following evening at 18:00hrs.
Previously we reported on his
visit to Köln, which was scheduled for 18th March - the same day that
David Gilmour plays his solo concert in Frankfurt! We contacted Nick's
office about this, to point out the coincidence (after all, a number of
you were distraught that both were visiting Germany on the same day,
but in different places!).
We are pleased to report that
this date now looks to be undergoing revision, and as soon as we know
the new date and full venue details, we will pass on the good news. So,
hopefully, German fans will be able to see both Nick AND David soon!
Towards the end of last year, we
saw the release of the paperback and audiobook versions of Inside Out
(reviewed and pictured on Brain Damage, of course!).
The audiobook, narrated by Nick himself (and recorded in one,
presumably very tiring, day!) brings us right up to date with Nick’s
personal view of the band’s reunion with Roger Waters for Live8.
The
whole package comes as 3 CDs, with a 32-page booklet of photographs, in
a special collector’s pack, priced at £15.99.
The paperback of Inside Out is
also updated with Nick's Live8 recollections, and is in stores now. The
addition of the Live8 reunion section will make both items very
tempting propositions, even if the original book is already owned.
Online orders for the paperback book are being taken now by Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, and Amazon Germany.
With regard to the audiobook, this is available from Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, and Amazon France.
Any items ordered from Amazon after entering their site from one of our
special links, helps towards running costs of our site, and we
appreciate it!
