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!

Rare early Floyd posters in auction Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 08 August 2005

We've been contacted by a US company who have a large range of vintage rock concert posters up for auction, including a bunch of Pink Floyd posters which rarely appear.

Backstage Auctions are offering over 3,000 historic rock concert posters, handbills, cards, tickets and tour programmes, for which bidding starts on August 14th (and ends on August 29th).

"It's like a visual parade of one of the most important eras in the history of rock and roll," explains Backstage Auctions founder/owner Jacques van Gool.

Complete series of original Bill Graham Fillmore West and Family Dog posters are the headlining item of the auction; also included in the auction are over a thousand individual poster lots of musical legends from an array of genres that is sure to entice any true collector of classic rock and psychedelic memorabilia.

Coveted by art and classic rock collectors, many of the pieces featured have set the standard for all rock and roll artwork. From album covers to ads to magazine designs and t-shirts, these works of art represent the birth of a style that has continued through the ages. Rock historian Paul Grushkin explains the value and popularity of these pieces when he says that "...the few times complete Bill Graham and Family Dog poster sets have ever been available, they were on and off the market in a heartbeat." The opening bids on the complete sets start between $50,000.00 and $120,000.00, well below its current value.

"This is a different type of auction for us," explains van Gool. "It's the first time that one of our auctions is built around a theme rather than a specific artist. It is also one of the biggest and most complete rock poster collections ever offered in the marketplace at one time."

The specific link to the Pink Floyd items in their sale is here, and if you do a search on the band from their home page, you will discover other interesting items on offer...
