Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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!

Gilmour inducts Brian Wilson to Hall Of Fame Print E-mail

David Gilmour and Brian Wilson at UK Music Hall Of FameLast night (November 14th), London's Alexandra Palace was the scene of the 2006 UK Music Hall of Fame ceremony, in an event which boasted everything from reportedly magnificent performances from legends, to politician heckling - something for everyone!

As part of the event, Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson was inducted by none other than David Gilmour, and we have some exclusive pictures of David honouring Brian.

 

The UK Music Hall Of Fame honours the "most influential talents of popular music who have provided the soundtrack to the lives of millions." It aims to recognise the most important artists of the past 50 years from around the world. Indeed, last year saw Pink Floyd as one of the inductees for their contribution to the world of music, alongside other artists such as The Who, Bob Dylan, and Jimi Hendrix.

The ceremony, which will be broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK on November 16th (tomorrow) and on VH1 in the USA on November 25th, also saw Brian Wilson perform a few of his classics, including 1966's "Good Vibrations".

Sir George Martin, The Beatles' producer (often referred to as their fifth member) was also inducted. Giving him his award was the UK Chancellor Of The Exchequer Gordon Brown, who was met with a chorus of boos, heckles, and cries of "murderer" from the crowd. Undaunted, a band made up of Razorlight's Johnny Borrell, Corinne Bailey Rae, Roger Taylor from Queen (drums), and Jose Gonzalez (guitar), played a medley of tracks from Abbey Road in honour of the great man. 'Golden Slumbers', 'Carry That Weight', 'The End' were backed by a gospel choir and orchestra, conducted by Sir George himself.

Led Zeppelin were inducted as well, with Jimmy Page receiving the award.
