 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.

Pink Floyd documentaries on US radio |

With peculiar timing (surely not to
tie in with the forthcoming David Gilmour concerts in the US and
Canada?!) US satellite radio station XM has got a feast of Floyd coming
up.
Their specialist rock station
"Deep Tracks" (channel 40) is focusing on the band over the next few
months, airing a 1970 BBC-recorded concert, and a six part documentary
("Echoes - The History Of Pink Floyd") about the band's history.
 |
| Echoes - History Of Pink Floyd |
The
documentary is not a new one, having previously aired as part of the
Westwood One series - but still a great listen, and not to be missed if
you've not heard it before.
Here's the lowdown on what's airing and when:
- Saturday Jan 28 – 9.00pm ET – Pink Floyd ‘70 BBC concert
- Sunday Mar 5 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 1
- Sunday Mar 12 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 2
- Sunday Mar 19 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 3
- Sunday Mar 26 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 4
- Sunday Apr 2 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 5
- Sunday Apr 9 – 6.00pm ET – Echoes Part 6
If you are not in the US, or not a subscriber to XM Radio, fear not - you can still listen in! Go to XMRadio.com
where you can sign up for a free, three-day trial to listen via their
website. Not enough to hear all six parts, unfortunately - you'd have
to take out a full sub for that.
XM satellite radio programming
can also be heard by subscribers to DirecTV. The Deep Tracks channel is
heard on DirecTV Channel 829. Finally, the newest version of WinAmp
comes with AOL Radio with XM. Once Winamp 5.1 is installed, open up the
Media Library, and start listening to XM. For your free player, go to Winamp.com.
Our thanks to Graham Moore, Adam Ooten and Jeff Hecox for his help with this story.
