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!

Written by Matt

Published at the end of August in Europe (in Canada, September 5th, and the USA, October 2nd) was a new addition to the bookshelves. Toby Manning's "Rough Guide to Pink Floyd" is the latest title from the publishing group which made their name through informative, impartial travel guides, and we have three copies to give away!

roughguideManning has put together a very well researched guide to all aspects of the Floyd's career. Their story is told accurately and with much supporting comment from the musicians themselves, and the book provides enough reference pointers in the rear to provide the newer Floyd fan with plenty of paths to go down in search of more information or particular music to listen to.

You can read our full review of the book through this link. Suffice it to say, it is an excellent reference, that fans of all knowledge levels will get things from.

To mark its publication, we have three copies to give away to one lucky Brain Damage visitor, thanks to our friends over at Rough Guides. You need to answer the following questions correctly - the answers can be found at the Rough Guides website and at Amazon:

  1. How many pages does "Rough Guide To Pink Floyd" have?
  2. True or false? This is Toby Manning's first book.
  3. Roughly how many Rough Guide books are there now (of any subject)?

and then email your answers, together with your postal address, to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with the subject line of "Rough Guide", by 11:59pm (UK time) on October 30th. Please note that no correspondence will be entered into, and that the competition mailbox is unmonitored - entries will be checked on October 31st, a winner picked at random by an independent party, and the winner announced here shortly after.

 


To order the book, you can use Musicroom.com, or alternatively, to order it through Amazon, currently with a healthy discount, you can use the following special links: Amazon US/International, Canada, UK/Europe, France, or Germany.

 

Our thanks to Rough Guides for their generosity, and good luck to all those who enter the competition.

NOTE: COMPETITION NOW CLOSED AND WINNERS BEING CHOSEN. WINNERS NAMES WILL APPEAR HERE SHORTLY...
