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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.

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 appears in Tsunami Aid: A Concert Of Hope TV show Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 15 January 2005

Last night (January 15th) saw former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters performing a wonderful melancholic version of "Wish You Were Here" acoustically with Eric Clapton, with the help of backing singers Katie Kissoon, Carol Kenyon and PP Arnold, as part of NBC's charity gala, Tsunami Aid: A Concert Of Hope.

The performance, which was not shown live, having been pre-recorded at the NBC studio in New York City, featured Roger and Eric sat on stools, playing acoustic guitars, with the lyric delivered in a quiet and almost mournful style which suited the occasion perfectly. Eric chose to simply play guitar, and the subtle backing vocal of Katie, Carol, and PP, complemented the respectful reading of the Floyd classic.

Many of the evening's performances will be able to be purchased via the internet as downloads. This will be from the Sony Connect site (which also has a European counterpart) and it is believed that Roger's performance will be one of those made available. The downloads should be on their site soon, but we don't have an exact time frame for you. Our friends over at Roger Waters Online have also heard that there may be a DVD of the evening released next month; we will endeavour to find out more on this for you.

The show may also be being shown on European satellite and digital network, CNBC Europe, this evening at 6pm GMT (CET +1 hour). However, it was also scheduled to show the event live in the early hours of this morning and didn't - see the comments we posted yesterday, from CNBC's Director of Media Comms. However, the schedule has been changed to show this evening's broadcast as now two hours long, from the one hour that it was showing first thing today. Which is a hopeful sign...

Donations can still be made to the charity supported by the show last night - The American Red Cross, or alternatively, you can make a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee who share all contributions around twelve different charities, ensuring each has the right funding at the right time. Funds raised through the show will support the American Red Cross two-phased assistance plan which includes specialized relief immediately and over the long term in the following areas: food and safe water; healthcare and disease prevention; immediate family supplies; mental health counselling; disaster preparedness and prevention measures.
