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.

Roger Waters' bass guitar up for auction Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 20 July 2011

Roger Waters with Fender Bass GuitarThe instrument most closely associated with Roger Waters, both in his time with Pink Floyd, and his subsequent solo career, is the black Fender Precision bass guitar. Now you have the opportunity to own this yourself - not a replica model, but one plucked from Roger's own instrument collection!

The rather-desirable instrument has been put up for auction through CharityBuzz.com, who recently sold a guitar hand-painted by Ian Emes and signed by Roger along with Nick Mason and David Gilmour, that realised $26,000. This time, the charity to benefit from the eventual winner's generosity is Millennnium Promise, the leading international non-profit organization solely committed to supporting the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals to halve extreme poverty by 2015.

Roger will sign the bass with a personalized message to the winner, making this a truly one-of-a-kind guitar. To see more details of the instrument, along with your opportunity to place a bid, visit CharityBuzz.com now. The auction closes on Tuesday, August 2nd, at 2:10pm EDT.
