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.

As you can see, we're now back up and running. Thank you to all of you who expressed concern about the site being down - whilst it was a pain, there was a reason for it...

With the start of Roger's 2007 tour, we were experiencing a rise of visitor numbers (as we expected, and have seen time and time again in the past). However, just before the site went down, we had a dramatic increase - well above expectations - which simply overwhelmed the servers!

Whilst we might have been able to sort out some extra capacity to ride out this deluge of visits, the simple truth was that we couldn't afford it for the sake of a day or two of outage. Many of you will know that this site isn't run by the band or record company (and therefore not funded by either), it is run chiefly by me - devoting my spare time and paying all the costs of running the site out of my own pocket.

Contributions of reviews, information and more from a number of you are all HUGELY appreciated. There are two other ways you can help though - direct ways to help the running of the site, and at the same time showing your appreciation of our hard work.

The first is to use our special links to Amazon: either when they accompany a review or news item, or via our special Amazon-powered Pink Floyd store (simply click on the flags below to visit it). The menu in the store itself has a direct link to the main Amazon site for all non-Floyd items.

The other way you can help is to consider a small donation via Paypal. We set this up a while back as we had a few people asking how they can help out with the running costs, and any donations - however small - are very much appreciated and go towards our site hosting fees.

Hopefully, we won't experience such an outage again - apologies for any inconvenience or frustration whilst we were away from your screens, but we hope you now understand why!
