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!

Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, and Roger Waters on Spotify Print E-mail

SpotifySome great news for all Spotifiers (if that's the right word for people who use the online music streaming service Spotify - Pink Floyd have, as promised at the end of last week, finally arriving on Spotify.

The band were one of the few high profile bands who were notable absentees from the music streaming service, and since its launch, Floyd fans have been clamouring for their music to be available on it. A challenge was set: the track Wish You Were Here had to be streamed a million times before the entire catalogue was made available on the service. Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long! (A comment on the Floyd's Facebook page did point out that it was just as well it wasn't St Tropez that was the track to be streamed one million times!) The catalogue on Spotify couples the 2011 remasters with other releases including Delicate Sound of Thunder, Relics, and even Collection of Great Dance Songs.

Last night Spotify also got the entire David Gilmour solo catalogue too. Roger Waters is on there as well, although curiously the version of his opera Ca Ira is the French language edition.

Spotify has over 24 million active users, and the service allows you to listen to anything in their vast catalogue of songs on demand, and also makes suggestions of music to listen to. There are two levels of membership - a free, ad-supported level, and a premium level which has a monthly fee. We know that many Floyd fans will be delighted with this news; despite already owning most if not all the Floyd's catalogue, Spotify brings convenience of playing tracks that take your fancy, without having to find the CD in your collection. Full details can be found at Spotify.com.
