Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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!

New issue of Guitarist looks at David Gilmour's new studio Print E-mail

Guitarist magazine, issue 390, February 2015Due to arrive in UK stores this morning is the new issue (February 2015, issue number 390) of the highly respected Guitarist magazine, and it is one that Pink Floyd fans will want to snap up.

The Editor of the magazine has been in touch to share the cover image here, and to tease details of its contents... "The cover feature of our new issue of Guitarist magazine, is a 17-page photo-led exploration of the studio used for the final Pink Floyd album The Endless River. Guided by Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, who was instrumental in the project's inception, and by Phil Taylor, David Gilmour's long-serving tech, we've explored the gear, creative approaches and tone secrets behind the album.

"The coverage includes lavishly detailed shots of iconic Floyd guitars such as the 'Black Strat' plus rarely seen instruments specific to the album such as a Fender Custom shop Baritone Telecaster used for certain parts, detailing the modifications and setup tweaks each instrument has had over the years through a detailed commentary by Phil Taylor. We've also examined Gilmour's vintage amps, pedalboard, custom-built studio tools and more. The technical details appearing here have been fully scrutinised by Phil Taylor so guitarists seeking authentic source information on Floyd tone need look no further.

"We went to a lot of lengths to ensure it is hard information you won't easily get to that level of authentication elsewhere and there's some great photography of the guitars and amps, plus studio environment inside."

Sounds fascinating! It should be in major UK supermarkets and newsagents from today, and can also be ordered online, worldwide, through this link.
