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.

Guy Pratt's Wake Up CallAs we revealed two weeks ago, Guy Pratt, bassist for David Gilmour, and for the post-1987 Pink Floyd (amongst many others), is making his much anticipated return to the stage for a run at the legendary Edinburgh Festival.

'Guy Pratt's Wake-up Call' is the next instalment of the bizarre, poignant and often hilarious life of a professional bassist told by a natural raconteur. The show is being held at Fringe@Le Monde between August 22nd - 30th; click the thumbnail to the left for more details. Tickets are just £5, and we wholeheartedly recommend it!

However, two lucky Brain Damage visitors will each receive a pair of tickets in the latest BD competition. [UPDATE: the lucky winners have now been chosen] Read on for more details!

The prize on offer is a pair of tickets for the show, for any of the performances between August 22nd - August 30th, and we'll be picking two correct entries from all those received.

Just answer the following question correctly:

  • Which Pink Floyd albums feature Guy's bass playing?

Please email your answer to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , with the subject line of "Guy Pratt's Wake Up Call". Include your name, address, the date you'd like tickets for, and your formal confirmation that you will be able to attend the show - this is especially important for those who don't live in Scotland! Also, please note that the prize is a pair of tickets for the show; you will be responsible for travel to and from the show, along with any other costs.

Entries need to be received by 11:59pm GMT on August 8th, 2010, with the two lucky winners announced the following day. Good luck everyone!

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED! Many congratulations to the two winners of a pair of tickets for Guy's Edinburgh stand-up show... Mark Lawrie, of Kirkcaldy, Scotland, and Dr Kent Hurtig, of Uppsala, Sweden (who'll be in Scotland during the run of Guy's show). Well done to these two, and commiserations to those who weren't so fortunate...
