Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.

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 the 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 long 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 on August 1st!

"An Evening With Nick Mason" - Grammy Museum in Los Angeles Print E-mail

Nick Mason - Grammy Museum 22nd September 2011On Thursday night (September 22nd), the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles featured "An Evening With Nick Mason". Taking place in the Clive Davis Theater, Nick was joined on stage by executive editor of Yahoo! Music and former editor of CREEM, Dave DiMartino. Brain Damage regular Darren was at the event, and sends in the following report. The accompanying pictures are courtesy of Jill from Tourbuslive.com. Now, over to Darren:

I was at the Grammy Museum for the Nick Mason talk. Nick talked about a lot of things during the evening. He said the full immersion sets for DSOTM, Wish You Were Here and The Wall were based on the popularity of those records but at some point if there was enough interest they could do Immersion sets for other albums. He said the early stuff could be combined to one Immersion, and he has a demo disc at home of the stuff they recorded to enter a 'Battle Of The Bands' competition and that demo has 3 or 4 Syd songs and a blues jam on it. He noted that this would be the last time the Floyd catalogue would be released.

Nick Mason - Grammy Museum 22nd September 2011He talked of the great shame of not having anything on film or tape of many of the 70's concerts but did say he had just gone through some of 'the Southampton tapes' of a fan's bootlegs - the fan had died and his widow sent them on to Nick. He said the sheer wealth of the material is amazing and that this guy had practically every show PF had played on a bootleg. He loved the Division Bell tour, he also said he wished they had toured DSOTM longer as he doesn't feel they did enough touring - it was album, tour, album, tour in those days and feels the band could have developed better if they had taken more time.

Nick said he's meeting with Roger next week. Regarding a reunion he said it would never happen for money but in a Live 8 situation or something similarly positive he feels it could happen, even though David says no. Nick said "He said that before Live 8 and look what happened!". It was a great night.
