Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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!

Roger Waters - mega concert rumours, and recent interview Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 19 April 2016

The US media is abuzz at the moment with the rumoured line-up of a massive concert, held at the site of Coachella, the music event which is held at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California. The proposed concert is to be held between October 7th-9th.

We've purposefully held off - until now - mentioning this, as we tend to avoid rumours, but with the gathering pace on reporting, there seems to be some likelihood with the likes of Billboard and the LA Times reporting that Goldenvoice Entertainment, Coachella's promoters, are looking at the following line-up: Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Who, Neil Young and Roger Waters. Roger last performed at Coachella in 2008. Neil Young's manager is quoted as saying that "You won't get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again..."

With each headliner rumoured to be in line for $7million appearance fee, tickets - if the show goes ahead - are likely to be very expensive, but with so many legends performing, it could be argued that you should get value for money. More information as we get it.

In the meantime, Roger recently spent some time with Tavis Smiley, host of an eponymous show on the US television station PBS (Public Broadcasting Station), a non-profit organisation. The interview aired on February 29th, and can be seen below. Our thanks to Christopher Allard for letting us know about this interview!
