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!

Pink Floyd: I Was There - book by Richard Houghton/Neil Cossar

Back in June, music writer Richard Houghton got in touch while he was researching a book about Pink Floyd. He asked for fans who saw them perform live in the late 1960s and early 1970s to get in touch with their memories.

Brain Damage visitors did did get in touch with Houghton, who has also written 'people's histories' of The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and The Who, and the resulting book, "Pink Floyd: I Was There" by Neil Cossar and Richard Houghton has just been published (earlier than expected).

Houghton said at the time: "I'm interested in capturing people's memories for posterity and hopefully telling the band's story in a slightly different way via first hand account of their earliest shows."

we're looking forward to seeing the book soon, and our review of the book should be here shortly. Houghton's recently published The Who: I Was There shows the concept, and it is an interesting one. Organised chronologically, "Pink Floyd: I Was There" will have recollections from those who attended the shows - some just a couple of lines, others providing much more lengthy trips down memory lane. The book will be peppered with black and white pictures - ticket scans, photos of the band in action, posters, and suchlike. With over 400 contributors, there should be a wide variety of memories and experiences, and should make for an interesting read.

To order a copy of this book, please use these direct links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain and Amazon Italy. Using our Amazon links also helps us hugely with ongoing site running costs and we really appreciate it!
