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!

Roger Waters �a Ira - competition and interview broadcast Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 06 October 2005

Two bits of Roger Waters-related news for you today - news of a competition for our US visitors, to win a trip to Rome, hotel stay, and tickets for the premiere performance of Ça Ira, and information on an upcoming interview on US radio, streamed worldwide on the internet.

Firstly, Sony Classical in the US are offering a great prize for a lucky person in the draw being offered on the official Waters website - Roger-Waters.com. The winner will get two tickets to Rome courtesy of Air France, where they will stay at a Sofitel hotel for two nights and three days and receive a pair of tickets to the performance!

The semi-staged concert performance of "Ça Ira" is being held at the 2,000 seat Parco della Musica with the Roma Sinfonietta and the Cora Lirico Sinfonico Romano choir on November 17th, 2005, along with the likes of Paul Groves, Ying Huang, and Rick Wentworth.

Runners-up will receive either the limited edition 3-disc set of Ça Ira, which includes the DVD showing the creation and development of the work, or the 2-disc edition, which just has the hybrid SACD.

Certain terms and conditions apply - but we wish all BD visitors the best of luck if they enter the contest. We'll be there at the show, so if you do win, let us know and we'll meet up!


The official Waters site also gives advance notice of an interview with Roger next week. The "World Cafe" interview will air in the US this Tuesday, October 14th. You can hear it in NYC (or via internet stream) on WFUV (90.7 FM) that night at 10pm. WFUV is a member-supported public radio station, from Fordham University in New York City. You can also listen online live that evening at 2pm or 1am EST at xpn.org. These times are as shown on Roger's site - please check with the stations themselves in case these are incorrect or change.
