 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.

Richard Wright/Pink Floyd news wrap-up |

We've had a lot of emails enquirying
as to the well-being of Pink Floyd's keyboard player, Richard Wright.
Many of you will recall that he missed the UK Music Hall Of Fame
induction, as he was recovering from an eye operation (although Roger
Waters jokingly denied this, stating that they were, in fact, living
together in Rome!).

| Richard Wright |
We today heard that Richard's
recovery has gone well - in fact, our source tells us that he was
skiing this morning, so that just goes to show how well it has gone!
Hopefully this news has set some minds at rest.
In other news, Pink Floyd have
triumphed in a Polish radio poll. Radio 3 ("Trojka") have just
broadcasted "Top Wszechczasow" ("Top Of All Times") where listeners
vote for their ten favourite songs of all time. For the first time in
the history of the poll Pink Floyd grabbed the number
one spot, with another two songs in the top 10.
It was "Another Brick In The
Wall" that made the top spot, beating "Brothers In Arms" by Dire
Straits, "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, and "One" by U2, who
were also vying for the position. Elsewhere, "Wish You Were Here" got
to number 7, "High Hopes" reached number 10, "Hey You" reached number
23, "Shine On" got to number 25, "Comfortably Numb" to number 29, and
finally, "Time" made it to number 43.
Our thanks to Marek Grzesiak for the info, which, from past feedback, quite a number of you are interested in.
Finally, things will no doubt
quieten down for a short while, with the Christmas festivities and, for
many people, holidays. News will therefore be patchy at times, with
many companies effectively closing down until January, but we will keep
providing all your Floydian requirements throughout. Amongst these will
be any news that happens, along with some articles, reviews and other
features that we've not had time to do over the last few, hectic months.
It just leaves us to wish all of
you the compliments of the season, whether or not you celebrate
Christmas. We hope you have enjoyed your visits to Brain Damage over
the year, and look forward to providing plenty of good stuff for you in
2006.
So, Merry Christmas, Happy
Holidays, Gesëende Kersfees, Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo,
Glædelig Jul, Zalig Kerstfeast, Joyeux Noel, Froehliche Weihnachten,
Buone Feste Natalizie, IL-Milied It-tajjeb, and if not included here,
whatever it is in your own language - have a great time from the Brain
Damage team!
