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 talks of his tour, editing concert footage, and new music Print E-mail

Roger Waters Last night, Roger Waters had an in depth, and illuminating discussion with his old friend Jim Ladd on KLOS, the Los Angeles based radio station. As Jim acknowledged, Roger rarely does such interviews, and this rare opportunity didn't disappoint with Roger in fine, and candid, form.

He talked at length about the current tour, including the inclusion of Lili Haydn at the Coachella show, his thoughts on the current US political situation, and what the future holds for him (and his fans!)...

Jim quizzed him about the current tour, and mentioned the lack of material from Radio KAOS, Roger's 1987 album. Roger (rather tantalizingly) said: "I'm sure we'll come back to it - whether its to do Sunset Strip, or The Powers That Be, or... There's a lot of songs on that record that I like". He also says that whilst the intention is that DSOTM live is coming to an end, there's no reason why it shouldn't be taken back out again for a one-off occasion, should something like that occur...

Looking to the future, Roger was asked if he was working on a new studio album. "Intermittently. I've got a bunch of songs, and when I get some time something will develop. I've just come back from Brazil where we had a performance of Ca Ira, which is my opera about the French revolution. That took a lot of time, and travel, and effort..."

Refusing to be drawn on any concepts that might be running through the new material, he said: "I've got a lot of songs, and it might be that it's two albums; it might be one political album, and it might be one album that's about love. Or they might be connected. I just don't know.

"I've been spending quite a lot of time as well editing some movie I shot of the tour last summer, and that's beginning to look quite interesting. And I've been in the editing suite quite a lot working on that.

"When I get back into Logic [music software] and start working on the album, YOU will be the first to know!" he told Jim Ladd.

The tour starts Sunday night at the Coachella festival.
