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 Ca Ira interview updates Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 30 September 2005

The last couple of days have seen a couple more television interviews with Roger Waters, relating to his newly released opera Ca Ira.

The first of these was an interview, recorded in New York on Tuesday, and broadcast on Thursday, on US based news channel CNN. You can launch the interview, running just under five minutes, by visiting their website.

The interview is quite interesting, although revelations were thin on the ground, with the expected questions appearing. Interviewed by CNN's A.J. Hammer, the topics covered included Ca Ira, and the relation between the French Revolution and today's issues.

The Pink Floyd reunion at Live 8 is also covered. Roger doesn't discount a further reunion, but it would depend on a good charitable or political cause - so no change to his viewpoint there. He does use the phrase "very unlikely" talking about the "mega-bucks tour", so doesn't COMPLETELY rule it out! There was a different question posed, asking who he thought in today's pop world would be seen as still significant and relevent in the future - this generation's Rolling Stones, Dylan, or McCartney. He responds that he "isn't very good at listening to pop music" so didn't feel best placed to answer this, but points out that it could be bands that have fallen a bit from favour critically, such as REM, who might make a big comeback in the future. He highlights "Everybody Hurts" as a particularly good song of theirs.

Our thanks to Andrew McClain for his assistance with this information.

Roger also appeared on the UK-based Sky News TV channel, yesterday (30th September). Interviewed about Ca Ira, it apparently had good shots of the orchestra hard at work, and was repeated each hour during the morning. Sadly we didn't manage to catch this, and as yet, they are not streaming the clip on their website. More information on this interview as and when we get it!
