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 On An Island tour - musician line-up Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 26 January 2006

With the first show in exactly six weeks time, David Gilmour has revealed the band who will be accompanying him on his On An Island tour - and a superb line-up it is too.

The tour is to support his new album, which is released on March 6th. The tour, David’s first since the record-breaking 1994 Pink Floyd Division Bell tour, starts in Hamburg on March 10th, goes to North America in April and returns to the UK at the end of May.

Since the tour was announced, there has been much speculation over who might be accompanying him on the road. With the recent announcement of Guy Pratt's solo shows a number of you spotted that he studiously avoided any of David's dates, so that gave a good clue! As far as the other musicians go, they are all excellent musicians... let's put you out of your misery and reveal all!

Here's the band:

David Gilmour  
Richard Wright Keyboards (and vocals?)
Guy Pratt Bass guitar (and vocals?)
Phil Manzanera Guitar (and vocals?)
Jon Carin Keyboards (and vocals?)
Dick Parry Saxophone
Steve DiStanislao   Drums

Phil Manzanera, apart from a thriving solo career, is also Roxy Music's guitarist and co-producer of On An Island. Steve DiStanislao has recently provided drumming duties for Crosby & Nash (who both appear on On An Island!).

The concert set-list is still to be decided but is likely to combine David’s favourite Pink Floyd tracks with tracks from ‘On An Island’, in a two-part show with no support act. Obviously, more news as we get it!
