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 interviewed on A&E Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 06 November 2005

Yesterday (November 6th) Roger Waters was interviewed on the A&E TV programme (broadcast in the US and Canada), "Breakfast With The Arts", by Karina Huber.

The fourteen-minute chat with (a fairly tired looking) Waters principally covered his recently released opera, Ca Ira. He started with talk of the genesis of the project, and how he was talked into the English translation, against his initial wishes.

He talked at length about his reprochement with David Gilmour, and relates it to Ca Ira - the capacity within to see the common ground and to understand that people will hold different views of events - and also relates this to wider, current affairs.

There was a particularly amusing passage where he talked of how self-critical he is - the moment when he gave the finished CDs their first listen in his car; not the environment one would expect him to use for the initial play-through!

The subject of performances came up; from an early stage, Roger visualised the piece to aid the creation. He had clear visions of the staging and the stage directions for the narrative and production. He expanded on this, stating that there were discussions and negotiations ongoing with six different companies in the US, for a set of concert performances to hopefully be held next year.

He made it clear that these won't be full productions, with costumes, but concert performances, and promised that it would include all the key elements that those who are in Rome next week will enjoy: "a big orchestra, chorus, projections, sound effects, and crashing and banging!"

Roger chatted with the host as part of a fairly packed programme, which also featured a look at New York's Julliard School (which has close links with the late Michael Kamen), and Bryan Adams, who also featured on Roger's Berlin 1990 Wall concert.

Our special thanks to our Canadian friend Craig Wadman for all his help in bringing this story to you.
