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/Waters releases top the charts! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 22 July 2006

Recent touring activity by David Gilmour and Roger Waters seems to have helped boost sales figures. In Malta alone, Roger's show there recently has triggered the island into a Pink Floyd frenzy!

The top 20 charts there this week see Roger’s Ca Ira in the top spot, Dark Side Of The Moon in second place, and David’s On an Island in fourth place. The high placing of Ca Ira is particularly interesting as he obviously didn't perform any selections from this at his show this month.

Turning to the rest of the world, the 2DVD release of one of Pink Floyd's stunning 1994 concerts at London's Earls Court has been very popular - it has entered the music DVD charts at number one in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US.

It has apparently has one of the top three best first week's sales in the US of any music DVD in history!

In New Zealand, its chart-topping debut apparently represents four times as many sales as all the other DVD titles put together, going five times platinum in a single week. In Sweden, PULSE represented 71% of the total music DVD sales in its first week.

It's even featured separately in the album charts – No. 1 in Germany and No. 5 in Switzerland – while in Italy and Portugal it's also No. 1 in the general DVD chart.

Our thanks to Martin Farrell for the Maltese sales news, and to David's official website for the PULSE news.


If you haven't yet bought your copy of PULSE, you can get it, with a discount, through the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Canada, France, or Germany. Any item bought through these links at Amazon (not just Floyd items) helps with the running costs of the site, and we really appreciate it.
