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! 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!

In-depth Gilmour interview in new Word Magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 02 March 2006

The forthcoming issue of respected UK magazine The Word features an indepth, six-page interview with David Gilmour in which he takes stock of his friends, family, beliefs and philosophies – and of devious drummers and belligerent former band leaders.

Word Magazine, issue 38
Word Magazine, issue 38
There looks to be sensational pictures of him on his houseboat studio on the Thames, Astoria, too. The people he talks about in detail include Robert Wyatt, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Bob “Rado” Klose, John “Willie” Wilson, Syd Barrett, Phil Manzanera, Crosby & Nash, Richard Wright, and his wife, Polly Samson.

The Word editor Mark Ellen tells us that it's also full of revelations, such as this one: “The Live 8 thing was great, but it was closure. It was like sleeping with your ex-wife. There’s no future for Pink Floyd.” And this at the precise moment that Waters - who claimed in The Word last October that he wanted the Floyd to carry on and tour Dark Side Of The Moon – has advertised dates this summer as "ROGER WATERS – THE GENIUS BEHIND PINK FLOYD" with Nick Mason on drums, effectively going head-to-head with Gilmour who is touring with Richard Wright on keyboards. Two halves of one Floyd in competition!

Gilmour’s revealing interview appears in the new issue of The Word, in UK stores on March 9th. Single issues are available by post, internationally, at www.wordmagazine.co.uk.

Our thanks to Mark for the info!
