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's Strat Pack concert - TV broadcasts Print E-mail

We reported extensively last year on the Fender Strat Pack show DVD. For those who haven't bought it yet, we have some news of television broadcasts in Europe of the whole show.

David Gilmour at Fender Stratocaster celebration concert
David Gilmour at "Miller Strat Pack"
concert, Wembley, 24th September 2004
The concert, on 24th September 2004, which featured Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley Arena, was a charity event in aid of Nordoff-Robbins, and celebrated 50 years of the Fender Stratocaster guitar.

The concert alone raised £175,000 (around US$330,000) for the music therapy charity, and the DVD was expected to swell this figure dramatically.

The concert was mixed and edited in David Gilmour's home studio by David and Andy Jackson.

The footage, shot under the watchful eye of Aubrey "Po" Powell, one part of Hypgnosis (the partnership with Storm Thorgerson), is a joy to watch, having been recorded in high definition.

The Artsworld channel on Sky satellite TV (channel 157) is showing the whole concert this week, including David's 23 minute slot towards the climax of the show.

You can catch the broadcast on Thursday (26th Jan) at 10:30am GMT, and on Friday (27th Jan) at 8am GMT.

Our thanks to John Johnstone, Richard Thresh, Dave Carlin, David Haddock and AOL Honours, for their help with this story!
