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!

Major Pink Floyd feature/interviews in new Word Magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 06 November 2004

We previously made mention of an upcoming feature on Pink Floyd in the excellent Word Magazine. We now have full details of what sounds like a fascinating read...

Initially, the band were due to appear on the cover, but with the tragic death of John Peel, the day before they went to press, a tribute to the DJ has taken precedence (naturally). Pink Floyd, one of John's favourite bands, still appears, as a drop in at the top of the cover (see right).

The main interest in the issue rests in the exclusive, indepth and potentially controversial interviews with both Roger Waters and Nick Mason.

Nick looks back at his fascinating new chronicle Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd - and they've included some of its best photographs, including Roger, Rick and Nick in The Tea Set; the Floyd with The Move, Amen Corner and The Jimi Hendrix Experience; and a stunning photo of Roger and Nick in Sigma 6 at Regent Street Poly in 1964.

And you HAVE to hear Roger Waters on Nick's book - "complete bollocks, a case of selective memory". And on The Division Bell - "Jesus Christ, have you ever LISTENED to it?". And on David Gilmour's wife - "she writes all the lyrics, it's SO Spinal Tap!".

Also included are writer David Hepworth's 12 reasons why the Pink Floyd may be the most influential group in the world.

If you can't find Word Magazine in a shop near you, (and the December 2004 issue reported on here goes on sale from November 9th in the UK), try www.wordmagazine.co.uk. As long-term subscribers to Word, we can vouch for the great entertainment each issue provides. It's a great read! Our thanks to editor Mark Ellen for keeping us posted with information regarding this Floyd special - cheers, Mark!
