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!

Live 8 DVD - Geldof podcast available Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 03 November 2005

With just three days left until the arrival of the Live 8 DVD for most countries, the official website for the release has made the second, and concluding, half of an exclusive interview with Sir Bob Geldof, available as a podcast or download.

In Part 2 of the Live 8 Podcast Bob was asked how he felt about playing to 200,000 people in Hyde Park, what he thought was achieved politically from the whole series of events and how he managed to cajole Pink Floyd back into playing live. Somehow he managed to talk the seminal line up to perform with Roger Waters for the first time in 24 years! There are more audio clips from the concerts, including Pink Floyd's performance of 'Money' from the event.

The first part had Sir Bob talking about the joys and struggles of putting together such an amazing, and massive live music event. As the architect of Live 8, and its chief whip, Sir Bob talks us through the highs and the lows, the success and the failure, the emotional and physical effects that this international call to action has had on the world we live in.

You can download both parts of the incredible Live 8 story on to your iPod or other MP3 player right now, through http://www.live8livedvd.com/ms/publicsites/live8dvd/podcast/?view=xmlfeed&type=podcast (requires that you have a podcast feed reading application).

The full press release for the DVD, with the track listing, and other details, can be found in our 6th September news story. It really is a mammoth set, and deserves a place in music fans homes - not least, as the proceeds go to charity. It can be ordered through our special Amazon links.
