WELCOME 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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.
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!

Guy Pratt's new book - did you win? |
|

Written by Matt

Monday, 21 May 2007 |
Well,
the latest Brain Damage competition has now closed. As we've mentioned
before, Guy Pratt's new book, "My Bass and Other Animals", is published
at the end of this month, and we had five copies, all signed by Guy, to
give away to BD visitors!
The book promises a warts'n'all look at his life on the road and in
the studio, including much on his work with David Gilmour and Pink
Floyd over the years.
Those who have seen Guy's "My Bass And Other Animals" show will know
how hilarious it is, taking the audience through his musical history,
involving such luminaries as Madonna, David Crosby, Michael Jackson and
David Bowie, alongside sections on life with Pink Floyd and David
Gilmour. The book itself should cover even more ground, and we cannot
wait to read it!
Ordering details for the book, and the dates and locations where you can catch Guy live, below.
And so to the five lucky winners of our competition... We've gone
through all the correct entries (and there were plenty of them!) and
whittled them down to five lucky people, picked at random from the
pile. Our congratulations go to:
Espen Olsvik, from Aalesund, Norway
Christopher Hughes, from Westbrook, Australia
Sunil Mathur, from Worthing, England
Stefan Demarbaix, from Loch Lomond, Scotland
Marko Zwijnenburg, from Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Well done to the above, and better luck next time to all those who
weren't lucky - we've got another competition coming soon, so don't
despair!
For another chance to win, visit Play.com
where you can enter their competition to win one of Guy's bass guitars!
No purchase necessary to enter it, meaning you can still buy the book
using our Amazon links below, helping out Brain Damage!
To give a taste of the show (and book), here's another clip of Guy in
action, revealing what can happen when you fly with Jimmy Page:
To order a copy of the "My Bass & Other Animals" book (at time of
writing with a healthy discount), for delivery upon release, you can
use the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France.
Please note that all the Amazon stores will ship the book worldwide.
