 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.

Wendy Bannister, wife of the
legendary concert promotor Freddy Bannister, has contacted us with
details of another box set offer that they have put together especially
for Brain Damage, which takes a retrospective look at the concerts they
promoted with the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin playing.

PINK FLOYD AND OTHERS AT BATH
FESTIVAL, FEATURED IN BOX SET |
This set looks at the 1969 and
1970 Bath Festivals, and the 1971 Lincoln Festival. It also looks, via
the book included, at a whole range of Bannister-promoted concerts in
the late sixties and early seventies. Pink Floyd performed at the 1970
Bath Festival, playing Atom Heart Mother with a full orchestra.
Here's what the limited edition of 200, signed and numbered by Freddy Bannister, commemorative box set includes:
- The tickets, handbills and
programmes from the following festivals (the original programmes,
handbills and tickets are now almost impossible to locate and would
cost in total over £1,000 - if you could find them):
- 1969 Bath featuring Led Zeppelin, John Mayall and Pete Green
- 1970 Bath featuring Pink Floyd
(where they premiered Atom Heart Mother), Led Zeppelin, Jefferson
Airplane, Santana, Steppenwolf, Johnny Winter, Frank Zappa, The Byrds,
Canned Heat, Fairport Convention, Country Joe, Hot Tuna and John Mayall
with Pete Green
- 1971 Lincoln Festival with James Taylor and The Byrds
- A 330 page hardback book by
Freddy Bannister all about promoting in the sixties and his first ever
gigs with Pink Floyd at various small halls in England
- An album of 28 photos of the festivals, mainly backstage at 1970 Bath
- A handbill from The Pavilion, Bath 1963 advertising The Beatles forthcoming appearance
- And as a special gift the following 6 CDs and a DVD:
- 1 x 75 mins CD of
Pink Floyd live at the BBC, including Green Is The Colour, Careful With
That Axe Eugene, A Saucerful Of Secrets, Set The Controls For The Heart
Of The Sun, Atom Heart Mother
- A 3 CD set live from the 1970
Bath Festival with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, Jefferson
Airplane, Frank Zappa, Steppenwolf, Santana, The Byrds, Canned Heat,
John Mayall, Donovan, Hot Tuna, Country Joe
- 1 CD from the 1971 Lincoln Festival of The Byrds, James Taylor
- A DVD of the BBC interviewing
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee which ends with them performing in the
back of their limo on the way to the 1971 Lincoln festival. It also
includes various BBC interviews with the performers from this festival
plus some great crowd shots etc. (very rare - they have only just
discovered it - even the BBC no longer have a copy)
The cost of the set is normally
£75, plus £7.50 in the UK and £20 to the States, and is on their
website at this price, but especially for Brain Damage visitors, this
is reduced by £10 to £65 - a good saving, and you also get a selection
of CDs and a DVD that come with this special Brain Damage edition. To
purchase a set, or for further info, please email

or phone 01954 268088 (UK) or +44-1954-268088 (outside the UK).
Our thanks to Wendy Bannister for making this offer available through Brain Damage.
