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 racing at Le Mans in June Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 30 May 2005

Nick Mason is taking a break from promoting his new book about Pink Floyd ("Inside Out") to make a return to his first love - motor cars. On Saturday June 18th, a few hours before the start of the Le Mans 24 Hours (reckoned by many to be the greatest race of all), 61 cars from the 1935-1955 era will compete in the Le Mans Legend: a one-hour, two-driver race on the full Sarthe circuit in France.

This support race features some of the best performers from more than 80-plus years of 24-hour racing at the famous venue. Headline entries include Sir Stirling Moss in the very first production Jaguar C-type; three-times Le Mans winner and 1961 F1 world champion Phil Hill in an ex-Fangio Alfa Romeo 3000CM; and Johnny Herbert in a 1955 Jaguar D-type.

Nick Mason is better known as Floyd's drummer than a Le Mans racer, although Nick has competed in the modern 24 Hours five times between 1979 and 1984. Nick enters two cars into the event. First, a 1935 Aston Martin Ulster, which will be driven by his daughter Holly Mason, along with Dean Lanzante, that is entered into Class 1 (1935-1939, 2000cc and below). The second car is a 1949 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica, which will be driven by Nick and his wife Annette. This is entered into Class 3 (1949-1953, 2000cc and below).

More information about the event can be found at www.motorracinglegends.com.
