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!

Robert Wyatt's 1974 concert with Nick Mason - CD release Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 05 October 2005

The heavily bootlegged recording of a special 1974 concert is finally getting an official release next week (10th October).

On Sunday September 8th 1974, just a year or so after the accident that has left him in a wheelchair ever since, Robert Wyatt, aided and abetted by a distinguished array of friends, including Mike Oldfield, Ivor Cutler, and Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, played an historic concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London.

Performing the entire, classic ‘Rock Bottom’ album, material from his days with Soft Machine and Matching Mole, plus an extraordinary, show-stopping version of ‘I’m A Believer’, this concert very quickly assumed legendary status. This is the first time in 31 years that the recording of the show will be made available officially - so it is bound to be popular.

The fact that Robert has chosen to no longer play live makes this release even more poignant and valuable as a reminder of how charismatic and catalytic he was onstage. Everyone who has bought and cherished ‘Rock Bottom’, or any of Robert’s other records for that matter, will need this album to complete their picture of a man who has, over the succeeding years, established himself as one of our most unique, enduring and well-loved artists.

The CD, released by Hannibal, features the highlights of the show:

   1. Introduction by John Peel
   2. Dedicated To You But You Weren't Listening
   3. Memories
   4. Sea Song
   5. Last Straw
   6. Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road
   7. Alife
   8. Alifib
   9. Mind Of A Child
  10. Instant Pussy
  11. Signed Curtain
  12. Calyx
  13. Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road
  14. I'm A Believer

The musicians were: Robert Wyatt - vocals, Dave Stewart - keyboards, Laurie Allan - drums, Hugh Hopper - bass guitar, Fred Frith - violin, guitar, viola, Mongezi Feza - trumpet, Gary Windo - reeds, Mike Oldfield - guitar, Julie Tippetts - keyboard, vocals, Nick Mason - drums, Ivor Cutler - vocals.

The CD will be in most good record stores from Monday, or alternatively, can be ordered online through our special Amazon links.
