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 track on new Van Morrison compilation Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 13 February 2007

van morrison at the moviesReleased yesterday (February 12th), "Van Morrison At The Movies: Soundtrack Hits" is an entertaining compilation of some of the best moments of Van The Man's career, which may surprise some as to how many key movie songs he has contributed.

For Roger Waters fans, the album is significant as it includes him too!

Many of you will recall that Van did the vocals on Comfortably Numb when Roger staged The Wall in spectacular fashion in the heart of Berlin, in 1990. Recently, Martin Scorcese decided to use this very performance in his critically-acclaimed movie "The Departed", which has brought the song to a whole newgeneration of people.

From looking at the track listing, it is interesting to note how many key moments are accented by Van's distinctive songs... and to note that how many of the songs have become much better known than the moviesthey appeared in.

1. Gloria (performed by Them) - from 'The Outsiders'
2. Baby Please Don't Go (performed by Them) - from 'Wild At Heart'
3. Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile) - from 'Pope Of Greenwich Village'
4. Domino (Live) - from 'Clean & Sober'
5. Moondance (Live) - from 'An American Werewolf In London'
6. Queen Of The Slipstream - from 'Extreme Close-Up'
7. Wild Night - from 'Thelma & Louise'
8. Caravan (Live) - from 'The Last Waltz'
9. Wonderful Remark - from 'King Of Comedy'
10. Brown Eyed Girl - from 'Born On The 4th Of July'
11. Days Like This - from 'As Good As It Gets'
12. Into The Mystic (Live) - from 'Patch Adams'
13. Hungry For Your Love - from 'An Officer And A Gentleman'
14. Someone Like You - from 'French Kiss'
15. Bright Side Of The Road - from 'Fever Pitch'
16. Have I Told You Lately? - from 'One Fine Day'
17. Real Real Gone - from 'Donovan Quick'
18. Irish Heartbeat - from 'The Matchmaker'
19. Comfortably Numb (Live) (Edit) - from 'The Departed'

To listen to an excerpt of Comfortably Numb - performed by Roger Waters and the Bleeding Heart Band in Berlin, with Van on lead vocals, click here (in Real Audio format).

The CD can be ordered through these special Amazon links: USA, Canada, UK/Elsewhere, Germany, or France. Items bought through our Amazon links (and our Pink Floyd stores, shown below) help with the running costs of this website and we really appreciate it.
