Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1967WELCOME TO THE 25th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, NICK MASON, DAVID GILMOUR AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

Last year was busy, with things such as the deluxe box set marking the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side Of The Moon, with a new remaster of the album, coupled with a number of other things including books and the Wembley 1974 TDSOTM recording. Some of the elements (including the official book) have also been released separately - full details here.

A long hoped for reissue of Richard Wright's Wet Dream, remixed by Steven Wilson with a new stereo AND surround mix, is out now, and absolutely superb, really bringing a forgotten gem back to life and it sounds better than ever.

Wonderful news is now through that there's a number of UK and European dates announced for the Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour, after the 2022/23 shows managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations!. In the meantime don't forget that there's the live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Talking of tours...THIS IS NOT A DRILL, the Roger Waters 2023 tour (Roger's "first farewell tour") proved an unmissable show for many! Roger has also released his The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux album and performed a couple of dates at London's Palladium. His memoir could even see publication this year - so watch this space!

Jon Carin - happy birthday! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 21 October 2010

jon carinOur hearty congratulations to Jon Carin, who today celebrates his 46th birthday (Thursday, October 21st).

The talented multi-instrumentalist has been a key part of the Pink Floyd operation since 1985, and more recently toured with David Gilmour (on his On An Island tour), and Roger Waters (on his Dark Side Of The Moon tour). He is currently a key member of Roger's band for the 110-date Wall tour of North America and Europe, playing keyboards and more during the show, which has wowed sell-out crowds in the US and Canada.

For those who might have missed it, or want another chance to read it, check out our extensive and exclusive interview with Jon from August 2007. It's full of fascinating insights into his life and work with various top musicians, including (of course) David, Roger, and Pink Floyd!

With the current lull in activity from the above, Jon has been keeping himself busy, and recently with GE Smith (who is also on The Wall tour, of course) produced an album for GE's wife. Taylor Barton. More details, and track samples, from Amazon or iTunes.

Have a great day, Jon - and many happy returns!
