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!

Roger Waters talks of The Wall album and 2010/2011 tour Print E-mail
Written by Matt

Paris MatchIn a new interview with Roger Waters published by Paris Match, Roger talks to Francois Lestavel about the background to the original recordings, and what the forthcoming concerts in America (2010) and Europe (2011) will include.

Roger: "Through the story of Pink, the man who built a wall to protect himself from the pain, I wanted to show how nations compete. Whether today or in 1979, we are still afraid of strangers. Politicians try to maintain the idea that there is a boundary between "them" and "us", while the difference between people is an accident of birth and geography. If we become more aware of this, then it will be easier to break down the walls - ideological and religious."

Talking about the possibility of the tour being his last, he said: "These major tours are physically demanding, and I'm not getting any younger. However, nothing is final." Lestavel asks about the plan to show victims of wars, projected onto the wall during the show, and if Roger fears if people may feel uncomfortable with this: "Perhaps, but entertaining people never interested me. I want to move them, otherwise I'd run a game show!"

Finally, he's asked about progress on a new album. "No, I'm focusing mostly on my next show. That said, I have a large number of songs that could be an album. But that's what I've been saying for ten years!"

You can read the whole interview (in French) at ParisMatch.com. Our thanks to Yann Langlais-Plante for the info.
