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! 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!

David Gilmour Live at Pompeii - one week to go Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 07 September 2017

With just one week to go, tickets are selling extremely well for the eagerly awaited concert recording of David Gilmour Live at Pompeii, filmed in 4k by director Gavin Elder and presented in Dolby Atmos sound. The film, being shown in cinemas worldwide on September 13th, is a recording of the pair of spectacular concerts held at the ancient Roman amphitheatre on July 7th and 8th last year.

Having seen the film last night, at a special preview screening in London's Soho district, we wholeheartedly recommend you do your best to see this in a cinema near you, if at all possible. Cinema audiences will get a special treat: a bonus documentary, which is only being shown with the film. This is a relatively short but interesting insight into the brace of concerts. This appears before the main feature.

The film itself is quite remarkable. An edit of the setlist for the two shows, there are highlights after highlights - those of us who were there will recall just how good the performances were each night, and that translates perfectly onto the screen. The camera work is spot on (with the 4k filming giving great detail and colour palettes) and the audio truly stunning. If you are able to see the film in a cinema equipped with Dolby Atmos, do so - the experience is quite something, with the power, the clarity, and the sense of almost being there in the amphitheatre. Particular highlights for me from the film inevitably included In Any Tongue, A Boat Lies Waiting, a superb Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell - in Pompeii, it was truly "turned up to 11"!

For details of cinemas taking part in this very special one night only event and ticket information visit davidgilmourcinematickets.com. As a reminder, here's the trailer for the film, which was unveiled in July...

Finally, September 29th sees the arrival of the recordings on 2CD, Blu-ray, 2DVD, a 4LP boxset, a Blu-ray and CD deluxe edition boxset, and via HD digital downloads. Other gems too are present on the deluxe boxset, including the acclaimed BBC documentary Wider Horizons.
