 WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!
It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!
We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. NOT to be missed!
There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.
Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!
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 the 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 long 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!

"PULSE" still beating strongly |

We recently reported on how the
release of Pink Floyd's PULSE on DVD, along with tours from David
Gilmour (with Richard Wright), and Roger Waters (at some shows, with
Nick Mason) has resulted in dramatic sales figures worldwide. We know
many of you are fascinated with this sort of detail, and almost three
month's later, Floyd's domination of record stores continues!
Within the US, the two-disc set
has been the top selling DVD since its release. It has held the
Billboard number one spot throughout, with the exception of one week
(September 16th) when Dream Theater managed to push them down to number
two, and another week when U2 bumped them in the same way (more on that
DVD below). There are no signs at the moment of sales dropping, and
with the lucrative Christmas market looming, sales are expected to stay
high.
According to Columbia Records,
PULSE has sold over 250,000 copies on DVD to date, which means that the
RIAA have certified it "multiplatinum". In terms of total all-time
music DVD sales, is in third place behind 2003's Led Zeppelin set, and
2005's "Eagles Farewell Tour" DVD.
With Roger Waters currently
performing DSOTM (which appears on PULSE's second disc) on his tour,
impetus for this is naturally running high, and the original album also
features highly on Billboard's charts at the moment, sitting at number
two on their Top Pop Catalog chart.
Turning to the southern
hemisphere, the story is pretty much the same. PULSE went ten weeks out
of ten at number one, achieving seven times platinum sales, but another
of David Mallet's brilliantly directed live shows, U2's Zoo TV Live
From Sydney DVD has just pipped PULSE for number one in Australia.
Being released in Australia just
a month before U2 tour there for the first time in 8 years, it was
inevitable that U2 would go to the top of the charts, which they have
been at for two weeks out of two now, with PULSE right behind it in
second place both those weeks.
By the sound of it, most of you
probably have bought this already. However, if you haven't yet bought
your copy of PULSE, you can get it, with a discount, through the
following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Canada, France, or Germany.
Any item bought through these links at Amazon (not just Floyd items)
helps with the running costs of the site, and we really appreciate it.
