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 at some point...watch this space!

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!

Some interesting news for the guitar enthusiasts amongst you... with thanks to the guitar effects expert Pete Cornish, you can watch the construction of David Gilmour's new All Tube Pedalboard as it takes shape in time for his 2006 tour, which begins in just six and a half weeks!

David Gilmour
On An Island tour 2006
Pete has provided equipment for David's solo work, and Pink Floyd work too, since 1976/77, when he also supplied a bass effects pedalboard for Roger Waters.

He also provided no less than seven custom pedalboards for The Wall concerts in 1980 and 1981.

The new pedalboard's development is shown in step-by-step detail at www.petecornish.co.uk/bop.html, with the woodworking phase shown over 27 images, and the metalworking/electronics phase of construction over 18 images.

For those interested in how these are constructed, you can see in great detail the amount of work that goes into them, and it gives a good idea of what the final product will look like.

Since 1972, Pete Cornish has created handcrafted guitar effects and amp routing systems for the worlds best known performers, using the best available components.

From effects boards to power distribution units, guitar cables to custom speaker cabinets, Pete has done it all, and his services are always in great demand.

Our thanks to Pete for sparing the time to get back to us, and to Simon Penrose for alerting us to this info in the first place.
