Pink Floyd 1968 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's participation in 2010 Mille Miglia

Written by Matt

Nick Mason in Mille Miglia 2010 As we mentioned last week, Nick Mason was taking part in the 2010 Mille Miglia race in Italy on May 6th-9th, which goes from Brescia to Rome, and back again, a distance around 1,000 miles. Driving in a 1949 Le Mans Replica, which was built in 1971, Nick had his good lady wife, Annette, as co-driver. The event saw 375 cars participate in all sorts of weather - including rain, fog, and even snow when they reached the mountain roads of the Terminillo.

With thanks to Stefano Tarquini, we have a selection of six shots from the event, courtesy of the respective photographers, which you can see below.

The first of these were shot by Sara Guidoni-Vidoni, who lives in Spoleto. Mason stopped in front of her and Sara shot the pics here:

Further in the race, Nick and Annette arrived in Rome. Arber Ndoj, a big fan and performer in Floyd cover band "Interstellar Factory", took these pictures when Nick arrived in front of him:
