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 playing one-off concert on Sunday Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 06 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", is playing a rare, one-off concert in the UK this coming Sunday, December 12th.

The show is being held at Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton, at 8pm, and no tickets are needed for it - another good reason to attend the show! We caught up with Ron this week to find out a little more about what Sunday evening promises...

Brain Damage: Why have you decided to perform live again? We understand that it has been a while since your last show. Are you planning on any other shows in the near future?

Ron: I didn't decide. My youngest son Fraser and his promoter friend Barnaby Walker decided I needed to be heard again in Brighton. Nothing future is planned, but may happen!

Brain Damage: What can we expect from the show? Presumably not Atom Heart Mother!

Ron: The live show is 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.

Brain Damage: Are you working on new material (or indeed, is the show to promote new material)?

Ron: I'm always working on new material - still progressing the large-scale 'Journey Of A Melody'. The show is to promote the continued enjoyment of life.

Brain Damage: Finally, looking back, what are your thoughts on the work that you did with Roger and the others? Nick Mason's book about his life in the band touches on the period, which was one of huge transition for them. How much influence do you think your work on The Body and AHM, made on them and their future projects?

Ron: We had fun - and pain. I don't know about influence - probably none - but they were amused and exhilarated by my particular perceptions and methods at the time.

Our thanks to Ron for sparing the time to fill us in over this show. You can find out more about Ron and his career, past and present, at his website - www.RonGeesin.com.
