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.

PULSE - US TV airing and special CD offer Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 15 June 2006

With the long awaited release of Pink Floyd's Pulse on DVD less than a month away (hitting the stores on July 10th/11th), US public broadcasting is airing an exclusive premiere of selections from the recording this Sunday, June 18th, at 8pm. As part of the premiere, there is a pledge drive where an exclusive David Gilmour CD is up for grabs!

Pink Floyd PULSE DVD
Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD
WLIW21 New York Public Television is the station airing it, and will be presenting it nationally (in the US) to public television across the nation in August.

During the broadcast, viewers can support WLIW21's decision to air this kind of music programming by calling 1.800.767.2121 or visiting www.wliw.org (click "support21", then click "become a member") and making a donation. PBS (Public Broadcasting) in the US is not state-funded, and relies completely on public donations to keep their valuable service running.

The Pulse airing will be in pledge drive format, bringing viewers nine songs from the forthcoming DVD, intersperced with breaks for pledges. With certain levels of donation, pledgers receive: for a $70 donation, the "David Gilmour "On An Island" CD; for a $100 donation the 'Pulse' DVD; and for a $150 donation, a package with both the CD and DVD. And in addition, each of the above will also come with the exclusive CD containing three live songs from David's AOL sessions: 'On An Island', 'Take A Breath' and 'This Heaven', in a card sleeve designed by 'OAI' designer Steve Knee.

If you do not live in the New York metro-area, you can contact your local public television station at www.pbs.org/stationfinder to find airdates in your area for PINK FLOYD LIVE: PULSE. If your station does not have this concert scheduled please call or write them to let them know you want to see PINK FLOYD on TV in your town! Once a station sees public demand for a show it might convince them to add it to their schedule.

PLEASE NOTE: a donation to today’s WLIW pledge does not mean that you will get your copy of ‘Pulse’ earlier than the US release date of 11 July. We have no idea when the DVD will be mailed out, so please do not be disappointed if you make a pledge, and receive your Pulse DVD later than the 11 July instore date. This information/clarification has come directly from David's management team, in response to email enquiries.

Our thanks to Natasha Padilla at WLIW, and to Andy at David's management, for the info.
