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.

Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII - special screening with original equipment Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 29 April 2025

Friday (May 2nd) sees the release of Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD, 2LP, and digital. Having had the good fortune to see the Blu-ray early, we know that many of you will absolutely love the new version.

Obviously over the last week, there have been cinema screenings which we also know that a lot of you have been attending, and by the sound of things, hugely enjoyed. Some cinemas have still got screenings to come, so make sure you check locally. The screenings so far have done really well, with the film comfortably being in the various locations' Top 10s.

One of the screenings on April 24th - at the Parkway Cinema in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in England - was slightly different, as friend of the website John Johnstone explains:

"I went to see it at Barnsley Parkway - not an IMAX but the front right and left channels were played through an array of the WEM cabinets used during the original performance. Together with Steven Wilson's new mix, the surround sound was awesome - rich, deep and very clear. I thought that the new footage looked very vibrant as well. All in all, a very enjoyable evening out."

Along with the original Pompeii WEM sound system, there was a re-recreation of the Floyd Allen and Heath Pompeii and Dark Side mixing desk. John took some photographs of the WEM equipment and has kindly shared them with us:
