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!

Gilmour - no DVD planned of Gdansk show Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 30 July 2006

As many of you are aware, David Gilmour will be concluding his current tour by playing a special show at the Gdansk Shipyards, in front of a huge crowd of 100,000. The show falls on August 26th, the day that commemorates the 26th anniversary of Poland's 1980 revolution, where nationwide strikes led to the eventual fall of communism, and the Solidarity trade union was founded.

Stories are starting to appear in the Polish media that the concert will be filmed by David Mallet and a fifty-strong crew, for release on DVD. With the Royal Albert Hall shows from the end of May being prepared for DVD, we thought we'd check the truth of this out with David's management. They confirm that there are currently no plans for Mallet and his crew to record the concert, and also that no DVD of the event is planned, either. Of course, should this change, we will let you know.

David's own website revealed recently that the performance will be the full two-hour-plus version (no opening act), as seen elsewhere, with the full complement of Marc Brickman's lighting, including lasers. For the first time, David's live show will include a 38-member orchestra, with renowned Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner conducting his arrangements from the On An Island album – which is a Platinum record in Poland – so it should be a very memorable show.

Tickets for the Gdansk concert are now on sale via Ticketpro.pl, and more details of the show can be found over at our Gdansk concert page.

Our thanks to David's management for their help.
