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.

Guitarist Magazine May 2023 with Pink Floyd/David Gilmour Dark Side Of The Moon special featureGuitar Techniques Magazine May 2023 with Pink Floyd/David Gilmour Dark Side Of The Moon special feature

Two new specialist UK guitar magazines have just published their new issues, and as you can see from the cover images shown here, should hold definite interest to Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fans.

The first of these is the more general Guitarist, which arrived on UK shelves on April 4th, and is issue 497 (cover date May 2023). In their synopsis of the magazine, they note that "Pink Floyd’s classic masterpiece The Dark Side Of The Moon celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, so take the journey with us as we examine the gear that David Gilmour used to play Dark Side live on stage both in the early to mid-70s and for its surprise revival on tour in 1994." The cover shows a collection of relevant images, along with the tagline of "The Inside Story Of A Masterpiece".

They also take a look at the guitars John Frusciante uses live with The Chili Peppers, the new ’58 Korina Flying V and Explorer models from Epiphone and a peek inside the Furch guitar workshop.

You can buy the magazine online, with worldwide shipping, through this direct link to the publishers, or in selected UK stores.

The second of these is the more specialist Guitar Techniques, published in the UK on April 5th, and is issue 347 (cover date also May 2023). They suggest with the help of their videos, you can "learn to play like David Gilmour" (a bold claim!) with five pieces detailed that "celebrate his rhythm, lead, slide and acoustic playing". The magazine promises "a comprehensive look at the Pink Floyd guitarist's emotive styles". Elsewhere in the magazine, there are various technique tutorials from slide to classical.

You can buy the magazine online, with worldwide shipping, through this direct link to the publishers, or in selected UK stores.
