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: "The Arthur Daley of rock'n'roll!" Print E-mail

autotrader picture of nick masonThose of you in the market for a car should head over to the Autotrader website. For it is through them that Nick Mason is selling his rather tasty Audi RS6 Avant! “It's the car I use every day,” Nick told Autotrader. “My drum kit has been in the back of it, so whoever buys it might find a drumstick under a mat somewhere...

“I'd really like the car to go to someone who enjoys it.”

Full details of the car, including pictures, can be found here. Our friends at Autotrader couldn't pass up the opportunity of an interview with Nick too, where he talks about his cars, about guesting on drums for Roger Waters, and the likelihood of a Pink Floyd reunion...

Many Floyd fans will be more used to hearing about Nick driving Ferrari's and Bugatti's. “I love the RS series,” says Nick. “You get real sports car performance in a practical package. I've had an RS2, an RS4, and bought the RS6 in 2004. I suppose it's a bit like reading a certain newspaper, you get used to it!”

Nick talks with affection about the various cars he has enjoyed over the years, from his earliest driving exploits in a Morris 1000, and an Austin Seven Chummy, through to more contemporary and exotic beasts such as the Ferrari Enzo.

autotrader nick mason audi rs6 avant s “When we were recording The Wall in France in 1979, Roger Waters and I used to drive to the studio in the Ferrari Daytona I had at the time,” says Nick. “We were staying in Provence, about 30 miles away. It was a great car. A bit heavy on the steering, and heavy on the tyres, but a great car.”

Autotrader asked him about his guest spots with Roger, performing The Dark Side of the Moon, and if he had any plans to do more of the same.

“I don't think so,” says Nick. “I really enjoyed doing the shows, but it's not something we're looking to do regularly. There’s a limit to how many times he can introduce me as a special guest.”

As for a full Pink Floyd reunion, he said: "It's certainly not out of the question. We all enjoyed Live 8, it was a really good thing to do, and it sent a nice message to a lot of people.

“I’d be very happy to do almost anything. Roger’s doing his own shows, and Dave is enjoying not doing the big shows. We’re always in contact with each other, on a day-to-day basis, because there are always so many projects going on with the old catalogue.”
