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 - US interviews and performances Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 10 April 2006

On Sunday we brought you news of a couple of interviews with David Gilmour on US radio, airing the following day (yesterday) as the guitarist travels around the US/Canada performing his new album and some Pink Floyd classics as well. For those who missed the interviews, including our friends around the world, we have details of how you can hear them on demand.

First though, last week we told you of a special recording session being undertaken by XM Radio, in front of just 30 people - friends, family and a handful of incredibly lucky fans (who must've thought they'd won a Wonka Golden Ticket!). One of those fans present is a Brain Damage regular, and thanks to him, we've got a full report of what transpired, on this site. A very special evening, and one that others will be able to enjoy soon when it is broadcast.

Turning to the interviews, these were both interesting, and David was clearly happy and relaxed. The syndicated, US-wide Bob and Tom Show very quickly posted the interview onto their website - unsurprisingly called BobAndTom.com - it can be found on their home page, and runs for almost eleven minutes. Our thanks to the nice people in the Bob and Tom team for all their help!

For those in the New York area, Q104.3 featured David on Jim Kerr's Rock and Roll Morning Show. That interview can be found on Apple's iTunes service as a podcast to download, or can be streamed, downloaded or podcast from Q1043.com itself. The interview here lasts almost fifteen minutes. Also on the download page, are a selection of older interviews with Roger Waters AND Nick Mason, too. Thanks to Phil Robinson and Michael Kelly for their help with this.

UPCOMING BROADCASTS

The constantly growing DavidGilmour.com (an essential daily stop-off) has revealed that David and his band didn't just record the XM Radio session, but also recorded a performance for broadcast later this month on AOL. The performance was designed for airing on the internet, so features a revised light show from the maestro, Marc Brickman.

The session is scheduled to air from April 21st, on demand, at music.aol.com/videos/sessions.

David's site have also announced that the day before, April 20th, David and co will be appearing on the Jay Leno show, which airs on NBC television at 11:35pm/10:35pm. More information here, and check your local listings too for exact air times.

Those of us in Europe will also get a chance to see this show. CNBC Europe air the show three weekdays after broadcast in the States, (i.e. Monday's episode airs on Thursday). Therefore, David's appearance on there should be shown in Europe on Tuesday April 25th. They air the show at 11pm CET... CNBC Europe airs in most countries; check with your local cable/satellite providers for details. (Thanks to Victor who posted at David's official blog for the head's-up on this).

Finally, our friends in Germany don't get left out of the fun. In the week that it was announced that David succeeded in selling over 100,000 copies of his new album, On An Island, in the country, German radio station WDR2 has announced that it will be airing the excellent show at London's Mermaid Theatre, recorded on March 7th for the BBC. This airs on WDR2 on April 17th, at 6pm.

Our thanks, as always, to Ulrike for his help with this information.
