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 in latest Classic Rock magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 14 April 2004

The latest issue (cover date May 2004) of the UK's Classic Rock Magazine features a couple of items of interest to Pink Floyd fans. Firstly, there is a whole page review of the 2004 remaster of The Final Cut.

The review, accompanied by a picture of Roger Waters looking pensive, is generally favourable, with some reservations. "Listening afresh to 'The Final Cut', there's no denying that Waters's boldness resulted in a powerful piece of work. True, the album's constant poking at raw nerves makes for a difficult listen, but then why should a heart-felt meditation on war and death be easy to stomach?"

Also in the same issue, is a news item referring to, firstly, the repackaged Syd Barrett Radio 1 sessions (review on this site shortly), and secondly, to the rumoured release of six Pink Floyd albums on the Columbia label on September 23rd. The remastered albums - Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, A Collection Of Great Dance Songs, The Final Cut, and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - are all said to be in deluxe packaging including all the original LP artwork and new photographs.

However, Brain Damage recently contacted EMKA, the band's management, about this rumour, and they knew nothing about it. On our behalf, they looked into the rumour, contacting Columbia, but believe that this is an old press release from some years ago that has resurfaced erroneously.

The magazine also has a four page feature on Roy Harper, which includes a couple of brief mentions of Pink Floyd, and pictures of his work with the band at Knebworth in 1975, and in the studio for Wish You Were Here, in the same year.

The magazine is now available in the UK, and in selected other countries as an import.
