On Nov. 29, Pink Floyd Records will release a massive 16-disc boxset of material representing the band’s output beginning in 1987.
“Pink Floyd The Later Years” will include more than six hours of previously-unheard audio and more than seven hours of previously-unseen audiovisuals collected on five CDs, six Blu-Ray discs and five DVDs.
Highlights include full previously-unreleased audio and remastered films from 1989’s Venice concert and 1990’s Knebworth show; the first-ever release of the band’s last live performance at the 2007 Syd Barrett Tribute Concert including David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright; a remixed version of “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” updated by Gilmour and Andy Jackson; and a variety of replica memorabilia.

Nick Mason to receive Prog God award
Posted August 20, 2019 by Floydian Slip
Prog magazine will present Pink Floyd drummer and co-founder Nick Mason with its Prog God award at the 2019 Progressive Music Awards next month.
Mason, 75, has been touring the world with his band Saucerful of Secrets, playing pre-“Dark Side” Floyd to sold-out crowds.
“I’m all in favor of recognition for drummers — particularly when it’s me — so I’m really delighted to be recognized as Prog God,” Mason tells Prog editors. “It’s hard to believe that it was over 50 years ago that the music we know as prog rock was born, and it’s still being celebrated, played and developed in the 21st century. Long may it continue!”
The awards will take place Sept. 12 at London’s Underglobe Theatre.
Past winners of the Prog God award include Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, Jon Anderson and Peter Gabriel.
