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!

Nick Mason: Goodwood Festival Of Speed event update and book review Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 08 February 2005

The 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed, which should yet again feature participation from Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, has announced revised dates. The event will now be held on June 24th - 26th, due to a decision by the FIA to revise its Formula One Grand Prix calendar. The Festival was to be held in July but the date has been changed so that there is no clash with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The event, a celebration of all forms of motor racing, which attracts drivers and enthusiasts from all over the world, has enjoyed the help and enthusiasm of Mason from the very seeds of the Festival, with Nick helping to drum up support and interest in the event. The 2005 Festival will be the twelfth, and is held in the Sussex, England grounds of Lord March's Goodwood estate.

More details of the event can be found at www.Goodwood.co.uk, and, as in the past couple of years, entry into the event will again be by advance ticket only, so visitors will need to ensure that they book in plenty of time so as to avoid any last minute disappointment. The change to advance ticket only policy has been implemented in order to preserve the Festival’s unique relaxed atmosphere following a period of sustained growth.

The ticket office can be contacted by telephone on +44 1243 755055, or you can book online at www.Goodwood.co.uk.

BOOK REVIEW
As we mentioned recently, Nick Mason has put down his drumsticks and picked up his pen yet again, contributing to the recently released "Goodwood Festival of Speed" book by Richard Sutton, which is published by Harper Collins.

We've taken a close look at this book, and report our findings in our full review of the book. This glorious, full colour large format book (featuring over 600 pictures!) includes a number of great pictures of, and sections involving, Nick Mason, including a section written by him about the Festival.

It is now available to order through our special links at Amazon.com, Canada, UK, France, or Germany, and is heartily recommended...
