 WELCOME 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!

Firstly, our hearty best wishes to
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who celebrates his 62nd birthday today.
Congratulations Nick - and many happy returns!
Nick will no doubt be spending
part of his birthday preparing for his trip to Germany, to continue the
promotion of his wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of
Pink Floyd".

Nick will be signing copies of his book, as well as all
manner of Floyd memorabilia, when he appears at the Buchhandlung
Weiland in Hamburg, at 20:45hrs on 30th January, and at the
Kulturkaufhaus Dussmann in Berlin the following evening at 18:00hrs.
Previously we reported on his
visit to Köln, which was scheduled for 18th March - the same day that
David Gilmour plays his solo concert in Frankfurt! We contacted Nick's
office about this, to point out the coincidence (after all, a number of
you were distraught that both were visiting Germany on the same day,
but in different places!).
We are pleased to report that
this date now looks to be undergoing revision, and as soon as we know
the new date and full venue details, we will pass on the good news. So,
hopefully, German fans will be able to see both Nick AND David soon!
Towards the end of last year, we
saw the release of the paperback and audiobook versions of Inside Out
(reviewed and pictured on Brain Damage, of course!).
The audiobook, narrated by Nick himself (and recorded in one,
presumably very tiring, day!) brings us right up to date with Nick’s
personal view of the band’s reunion with Roger Waters for Live8.
The
whole package comes as 3 CDs, with a 32-page booklet of photographs, in
a special collector’s pack, priced at £15.99.
The paperback of Inside Out is
also updated with Nick's Live8 recollections, and is in stores now. The
addition of the Live8 reunion section will make both items very
tempting propositions, even if the original book is already owned.
Online orders for the paperback book are being taken now by Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, and Amazon Germany.
With regard to the audiobook, this is available from Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, and Amazon France.
Any items ordered from Amazon after entering their site from one of our
special links, helps towards running costs of our site, and we
appreciate it!
