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!

David Gilmour gets "Grammy" nomination Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 08 December 2006
Last night, the 49th Grammy Awards nominees were announced, and amongst those in the running is David Gilmour. He has received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for Castellorizon, the first track on his 2006 album "On An Island".

A number of you will recall that David plays guitar on the Alan Parsons album "A Valid Path", and this too has been nominated, as Best Surround Sound Album.

The 49th Grammy Awards ceremony will be held on February 11th, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, and will be broadcast live in the US in high definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS from 8 - 11:30pm ET/PT.

David is amongst a large group of British performers who have been nominated, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, UB40, and James Blunt, who is up for five awards. Neil Young and Bob Dylan, favourites of Pink Floyd band members, both have a number of nominations as well.

David's nomination is in category 19, and he is up against the Arctic Monkeys (Chin Li's Flying Bird Kick), The Flaming Lips (The Wizard Turns On...), Peter Frampton (Black Hole Sun), and Joe Satriani (Super Colossal). Interestingly enough, the official nomination for David misspells the track as "Catsellorizon"!

Alan's nomination is in category 93 (out of a total of 108 categories... as you can see, the Awards cover a LOT of ground!) and he is competing with Tony Papa, Elliot Scheiner, Martin Walters, and Morten Lindberg & Hans Peter L'Orange.
