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's visit to France this week - update including interview tomorrow Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 09 March 2005

Celebrating the publication in France yesterday of his book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", Nick Mason visited the Virgin Megastore along the Champs-Elysées in the heart of Paris. There, he met a huge number of fans, and signed books amongst other things for them. This was part of his promotional visit to Paris which concludes tomorrow.

Nick was on good form, and spent over two hours with the vast number of people who turned up specifically to see him. All kinds of questions were asked of Nick - one of the most common seemed to be when the band would perform live again. He replied that he would enjoy that, but he didn't know if David [Gilmour] wanted to do it.

We have a selection of pictures from the evening below. Our thanks to the many who wrote with pictures and information - in particular Mathieu Cusin, Guillaume Birglen (& Sylvie), Laurent Wattre, and Nico from the Signs Of Floyd website.

Nick is also undertaking a number of interviews with various parts of the press, as mentioned two days ago. An update to this, is that a radio interview with Nick is scheduled for broadcast tomorrow (Friday) lunchtime. On the France Inter radio station, Nick will be interviewed in the thirty minute "La Treize Quatorze" show, airing at 13:00hrs.

If any of our French readers can help out with recordings of the TV or radio interviews, or scans of the newspaper or magazine articles, we'd really appreciate it!

The book can be ordered from Amazon in France, in three formats: French language version, the English language version, and the audiobook read by Nick himself on 3 CDs.
