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 - most influential guitarist? Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 25 May 2006

This coming Sunday (May 28th) sees the culmination of radio station Classic Rock Q107's worldwide poll to determine the most influential guitarists of all time. David Gilmour is in the running for top spot for his guitar work over the last four decades for Pink Floyd, and his own solo material.

Q107
In the show on Sunday night, at 9pm, the Toronto, Canada based station reveals the top ten guitar legends - and David is amongst them. Q107 invited music fans around the world to vote, and the response to the poll was overwhelming. It even grabbed the attention of Gilmour - his official website DavidGilmour.com highlighted the series and gave visitors instructions on how to participate.

Our thanks to Andrew over at Q107 for letting us know about the show. We know many of you enjoy these sort of polls... If you cannot tune in on your radio to Q107, the show is also available on Corus Radio Classic Rock affiliates across Canada, and via the Q107.com website.
