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!

Brit Floyd joined by Scott Page at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre Print E-mail

Scott Page with Brit Floyd, 2015Just a few weeks ago, right before Brit Floyd wrapped up the first leg of their current North American tour, they were joined live, on stage by a very special guest at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre: saxophonist and rhythm guitarist Scott Page.

Brit Floyd musical director Damian Darlington tells Brain Damage that Page "played Money and Us and Them" with them.

Page originally joined Pink Floyd during the recording of A Momentary Lapse of Reason and toured extensively with the band in promotion of that album. He contributed saxophone and guitar parts to the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour and his live work with the band is documented in the Delicate Sound of Thunder album and video.

Page continued collaborating with the likes of Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, and Storm Thorgerson after his tenure in Pink Floyd: although he shifted his focus toward a number of successful business ventures at the conclusion of the A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, he continued working with a wide array of individuals from the Pink Floyd camp in that new context. He has also continued recording and performing over the years despite his business work, with artists as diverse as Gorky Park, David Lee Roth, and Jane's Addiction. Page is currently CEO, President, and co-founder of Ignited Network, "a start up music accelerator based in Los Angeles."

For Brit Floyd and Pink Floyd fans in Los Angeles Page's visit was a special treat:

"Audience reaction was wonderful. You could tell that they knew a very special musician was up there on stage with us," said Darlington. He added: "Playing alongside Scott lifted our own performance as musicians up to another level. I got exactly the same sense when I had the chance of playing alongside Guy Pratt. When you perform on stage with these guys you get an even clearer idea of why they were chosen to play with Pink Floyd in the first place."

Guy Pratt joined Brit Floyd on stage at Echo Arena Liverpool on November 9th of 2013. Page's performance with Brit Floyd adds to the resonance of Delicate Sound of Thunder with the band: "It really was special to get the chance to play alongside him, at times it felt like being on a recording from Delicate Sound of Thunder," said Darlington.

Brit Floyd is currently on the second leg of their North American tour. For more information on this tour, click here. For archival footage of Guy Pratt playing with Brit Floyd in 2013 click here, here, and here. Photos here courtesy of Brit Floyd...
