 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.

Roger Waters' Us + Them tour - in-depth technical feature |

Tuesday, 30 October 2018 |
Each month, trade publication TPi (Total Production International) takes an inside look at recent and current touring productions, to reveal the details behind the staging of these - looking at how the tech teams behind each aspect sort out issues and ensure audiences get the best experience possible.
As the world of concert staging develops, some incredible technical advances keep pushing the envelope of what's possible, making truly memorable experiences. The magazine doesn't just look at the visual aspect, but at the delivery of sound too. It's thankfully rare to have poor audio at a gig these days, with equipment getting smaller, more portable on the road, and higher quality.
The September 2018 issue will be of particular interest to our readership: in it, there's a massive 16 page article looking at the current Roger Waters Us + Them tour, with additional pages of adverts from assisting companies involved in the tour. TPi: "There are few British rock legends who rose to fame in the '60s and continue to tour today, let alone with the magnitude and stamina of Roger Waters. Following an indoor arena tour which started in North America, the production then headed to Europe, via NZ And Australia, for the Lucca Summer Festival before upscaling further for Rome's Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus) and its audience of 65,000 fans.
"The outcome did not only deliver awe-inspiring technology in a juxtaposing event space but was a team effort - delivered seamlessly in 36°C heat - led by a hearty dose of calmness and clarity. Read the full in-depth tech feature in this month's TPi front cover story."
The good news for those who aren't subscribers to this magazine, is that it is available online through this direct link!
