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!

Ron Geesin at one-off concert Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 20 December 2004

The musician and composer Ron Geesin, who collaborated with Roger Waters on the album "Music From The Body" (the soundtrack to the film of the same name), and then co-wrote Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother", played a rare, one-off concert on Sunday, December 12th.

The show, held at Friends Meeting House in Brighton, was played to a packed venue - with all seats quickly taken, a search was undertaken for extra chairs to accommodate the masses! For anyone unable to attend, the good news is that the video cameras dotted around the hall captured the show, for release on DVD during 2005.

The show itself was one of the best and most enjoyable I'd seen for a long time, with Ron's unique style and musicianship stunning and amusing throughout. Certainly an experience that many of the audience won't be able to forget - and the standing ovation at the end (forcing Ron into an encore, when he doesn't usually do them) bore this out!

As Ron told me beforehand, the show was "a tapping of subconscious and nervous energy. It is largely improvised around grand piano, banjos, marimba, percussion, voice and the audience itself. It is quite separate from the more-considered studio work...". After the show, he said: "That was hard work - after 6 years! - but apparently my timing has even improved!!"

We're hoping to have more information on the DVD in the New Year. Our thanks to Ron, and his son Joe Geesin (who told us that he is the baby heard at the start of the Music From The Body album!). You can find out more about Ron and his career, past and present, at his website - www.RonGeesin.com.
