 WELCOME 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! 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!

On the eve of the official release
date of David Gilmour's new album, "On An Island", we'd first like to
take this opportunity, on behalf of Brain Damage, and many of you who
have emailed in, to wish David a fantastic 60th birthday for tomorrow (Monday) - and many happy returns!
Despite it being his birthday,
David is not taking things easy, and the level of activity on all
fronts is quite hard to keep track of! We've got some urgent
information and updates for you today.

Firstly, there is a very final, last minute chance to win tickets for David's exclusive concert on Tuesday for BBC Radio 2. BBC 6 Music has a few tickets left for the performance by David at the Mermaid Theatre, London. Hurry though - the competition closes at 2pm on Monday and is only open to those in the UK. Winners will be notified by 5pm that day, and only one entry per person. Click here to enter and good luck!
If you don't win tickets to this
concert you can hear an hour of the concert at 8:30pm on March 11th,
and see exclusive footage on BBC Interactive TV and on the Radio 2
website from 9.30pm on the same day. Broadband users will also be able
to watch a 60-minute edit of the concert via the Radio 2 website.
On the subject of competitions,
today is the last day to get your entries in for our special contest to
win On An Island goodies - if we don't receive your entry by midnight
GMT, I'm afraid you've missed your chance! Good luck!
Turning to the heavy presence on the radio, our latest update comes from a Dallas radio station, KZPS,
who are having a "David Gilmour weekend" as we write these words. They
are giving away copies of his new CD, and also a trip to see him on his
US tour at Radio City Music Hall in New York April 5th!
They have also confirmed two radio specials to air on their station, which is streamed over the internet via KZPS.com.
The first of these airs this evening, at 7pm Central Time (1am GMT),
and features David talking about the album. The second is the latest
edition of the well-known, syndicated In The Studio interviews, and
airs next Sunday (12th March) at 8pm Central Time (2am GMT). Other
stations also carry the In The Studio programme, so check your local
listings. Our thanks to Cam Gourlay for his help with this.
For those of you who are yet to
see the full promotional video for the first single release off the
album, the title track On An Island, the VH1 website is streaming the
complete video, in high quality. CLICK HERE to see it, along with information about David's current activity. Our thanks to Anthony Abe and Dave Milne for their help with this info.
If you wish to order the album
from Amazon, where it is the number 1 selling CD across the board, you
can do so through these special links: US/International, UK/Europe, Canada, France or Germany.
We know that a number of you will
also want to buy the vinyl edition (or indeed, instead of the CD
version!). Here's the links you need for this edition, which will be in
a specially designed gatefold sleeve: Amazon UK, France, or Germany.
