Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

piccadilly circus 1967Hi there! 2008 is proceeding nicely - with eleven Roger Waters concerts this April, May and June, four Ca Ira performances, and two special Atom Heart Mother concerts, to go with the anticipation of what else might come this year - such as David Gilmour's "Live in Gdańsk", which will hopefully be out in September.

No firm news yet on the SACD of Wish You Were Here, a VERY keenly awaited release going by the regular flow of emails asking about it that we're getting!

Please don't forget to show your support for what we do - the time, effort and money involved in running Brain Damage - by using our special links at Amazon for buying stuff (or click on the flags below to visit our Floyd Store), as this really helps us, as do Paypal donations (button to the right) which get put towards our hosting fees and other essential costs, keeping this site going. We're hugely grateful to anyone who helps us out with this!

Cheers!

The Brain Damage team.

Pink Floyd's See Emily Play covered by Martha Wainwright again
Written by Matt   
Friday, 09 May 2008

martha wainwrightMonday, May 12th sees the release of 'I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too', the third album from singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright. While the record is mainly made up of original material, there are two covers featured: Pink Floyd's 'See Emily Play' and 'Love Is A Stranger' by The Eurythmics. Many of you will recall that Martha, along with Kate McGarrigle and Lily Lanken, performed a lovely 'Emily' at the Syd Barrett tribute concert at London's Barbican Hall which was held a year ago, practically to the day.

With contributions from Pete Townshend (The Who), Garth Hudson (The Band) and her brother Rufus, the album sounds worth checking out. You can order it from: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. Our thanks to Bert van Kalker for the info!

Written by Arash Danesh and Brad Kaplan

roger waters with dolphinA bit of Friday fun for you... in the latest issue (May 2008) of the US edition of Rolling Stone magazine, there's a very unexpected picture of Roger Waters. Taking whilst he was in the Brazilian Amazon for the Ca Ira concert preparations, it shows him feeding a dolphin in the Amazon River. We couldn't resist showing you this picture!

The magazine is currently available on US newsstands. International editions are sold around the planet, but content varies between the different versions, so if you are intending to buy the issue for this picture, please check before purchasing!

Written by Matt   
Thursday, 08 May 2008

roger waters in st petersburg We know a number of you have been eagerly awaiting news of ticketing for Roger's final show on his 2008 Dark Side Of The Moon mini-tour. Well, thanks to our friend Petrovich from the excellent Russian pink-floyd.ru site, we now have full information for you!

Petrovich tells us that the concert is being staged as a gift to residents and guests from the St Petersburg city government and the organizers of St Petersburg International Economic Forum, so entrance to the concert is free. However, there is an allocated "VIP" zone, consisting of six sectors and more than 8000 seats. The ticket prices for this area start at 3,300 RUR, and go up to 16,500 RUR (approximately 90-450 euros). Tickets can be ordered at www.kassir.ru (or click here for a translated version of their site).

Don't miss your chance to see Roger Waters live, and meet Jon Carin!
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 07 May 2008

jon carinMany of you will have seen the recent opportunities that Jon Carin has recently given, auctioning off tickets to recent Roger Waters concerts in the US, along with backstage passes so that you can meet Jon. These were to raise money for his daughter's school in New York, to try to compensate for budget cuts from the city of New York this year.

For those who want to catch one of the final performances of Dark Side Of The Moon, Jon has arranged for one more golden opportunity, though CharityFolks.com:

The auction features great seats for you and your very lucky friends, and with your backstage passes you'll get to meet the keyboard, guitar and lap steel musician and lead vocalist from Roger's band, Jon Carin! A great opportunity, and the auction has just a few days left (finishing on May 13th), so don't delay...

David Gilmour participates in Bolan tribute tonight
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 06 May 2008

marc bolan Airing at 10:30pm (UK time) tonight, David Gilmour is one of the contributors in an hour-long tribute to Marc Bolan. The programme, "20th Century Boy: The Marc Bolan Story", on BBC Radio 2, takes a look at the tragically-shortened career of the T-Rex frontman. This is a repeat airing of the tribute, but we know many people missed it first time around.

BBC Radio 2 can be heard on 88-91FM, digital cable and satellite, DAB digital radio, and online at www.BBC.co.uk/radio2, where a "Listen Again" facility exists to hear the show, on demand, for seven days following its airing.
