 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.

There's just one week to go before the last of the three 2011 guided walks of Syd Barrett's Cambridge run by I-SpySydInCambridge in conjunction with Brain Damage, takes place, and there are still a few
places left on it - if you respond soon to the email address below. The
walks, tours of the city that have taken in many of the more significant sites which were connected to the life and times of Syd, and the various bands which lead to Pink Floyd, provide fascinating and illuminating looks at those early days. Previous tours (see pictures) were much
enjoyed by those who participated - some of whom returned for more on later tours. This is the final scheduled tour they are running, so don't miss out!
The hosts of the tour - personal friends of Syd, who grew up with him - share their own memories of school days and beyond with Syd, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and other Pink Floyd illumni who lived and worked in Cambridge. This final tour takes place next Saturday, September 10th, and as with the previous tours they've run in conjunction with us, some special guests are again being lined up. Should be a great day and not to be missed!

, the chief guide, to book your place(s) on the tour. After Warren confirms your place, he will then trust you to turn up on the day and pay then. Warren said "Let's bring
alittle trust into this cynical world!"
The tour will meet at the front of the Guildhall, Market Square, right in the middle of Cambridge, and starts at 10.30am, so if you will be
travelling to Cambridge, make sure you give yourself enough time so that
you don't miss the start. The railway station is about a 10-15 minute
walk from the city centre, and there are plenty of car parks if you are
driving in. Alternatively, if you are driving to Cambridge, you can take
advantage of one of the five Park and Ride sites situated around the
edge of the city - park for free and hop on a bus into town.
The tours are meant to last about two hours but in reality it's always
nearer three hours (or more), as the memories and stories start flowing
from those who really knew Syd and the others.
Don't miss this great, and final, opportunity to discover Syd's city guided by those who knew him well. For more information on the tours, the guides, and what to expect, visit their
recently updated website at www.I-SpySydInCambridge.com.
