 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!

Released this week worldwide
(November 25th in Europe, November 26th in North America and the rest
of the world) was the expanded version of David Gilmour's 2006 album,
On An Island, and to celebrate, we've got a copy to give away to one
lucky Brain Damage visitor!
 On An Island is a collection of
songs and instruments that had its genus in the critically acclaimed
2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his
super-group to discover he’s still at his peak – and he’s rightly
pleased. ‘Its my best and most personal work,’ he said earlier this
year. ‘Making it with my musician friends has been a positive
experience on so many levels.’ And touring it this spring took him to a
new level.
As many of you know, the ten
tracks on the album, which has been produced by David Gilmour, Phil
Manzanera and Chris Thomas, are:
- Castellorizon
- On An Island
- The Blue
- Take a Breath
- Red Sky At Night
- This Heaven
- Then I Close My Eyes
- Smile
- A Pocketful of Stones
- Where We Start
The album is now available, for a
limited time, with a bonus DVD – a must have for fans! Now you can own
David’s electrifying live AOL Sessions performance including:
- On An Island
- This Heaven
- Smile
- Take A Breath
- High Hopes
- Comfortably Numb
Plus, included on the DVD is
"Astronomy Domine" from the Channel 4 TV Abbey Road sessions, in August
2006, and “Take A Breath” from London's Royal Albert Hall, a taster of
the live DVD coming in 2007.
Thanks to our friends over at
Electric Artists, we have a copy of this great CD/DVD set to give away.
