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!

Floyd feature in Mojo's 70s retrospective Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 27 June 2006

The UK's Mojo Magazine has published another one of its well-respected special editions. "The Who & The Story of 70s Rock" takes a long hard look at the decade, charting the development of music during the era from the early days of progressive rock, through to the rise of punk rock, taking a critic and, at times, humourous look at the sounds and the images which made the 70s such a fascinating ten years.

Mojo Special 07/06

Pink Floyd naturally get good coverage inside the special issue. John Harris takes a long hard look at Dark Side Of The Moon - many of you will recall that he is the author of the excellent book, "DSOTM - The Making Of the Pink Floyd Masterpiece", which came out last year, and you can read our review here.

Accompanying his article are a number of nice live and portrait shots, and there is also a reprint of a lengthly, long-lost 1973 interview with Nick Mason and Roger Waters for Zigzag Magazine. This features the pair looking at the band's history up to that point - and is absorbing stuff!

Elsewhere in the magazine, The Who also get exhaustive coverage - a great selection of rare live shots follow a fascinating article concerning itself with the band in the 1970s - an explosive and tragic decade for them.

Nick Kent talks in detail of how he survived three tours with Led Zeppelin - eye-opening stuff.

Other features take a look at Kate Bush's one and only tour, in 1979; the short but fiery career of the Sex Pistols; the departure of Peter Gabriel from Genesis, and how both parties careers moved forward from that point; and the reinvention of the Rolling Stones, and David Bowie, to meet the demands of a new breed of fan and a new musical landscape.

Completing the coverage is a chronological countdown of 70 of the decade's greatest albums, which includes Meddle and, of course, DSOTM, and this compliments an interesting look at various examples of album cover art in the 70s.

Mojo Special 07/06An absorbing read - one to snap up if you have any interest in music of the 1970s. The magazine is now on UK store shelves, and is available in many countries as an import. Our thanks to Mark Blake for his help, as always.
