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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.

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!

See Nick Mason's special Gibson SG guitar for charity Print E-mail
Written by Matt

guitartown Many of you will recall our story from January 9th, revealing that Nick Mason is amongst the 30 musicians who have committed themselves to a new charity project, designing Gibson Les Paul guitars! The project is called Gibson Guitar Town London, and hopes to replicate the success of a similar project in Nashville, Tennessee in 2005, which raised over $300,000 for local charities.

Others involved include Phil Manzanera and Gerald Scarfe, to further the Floyd connection!

nick mason with gibson guitarNick Mason is pictured here with a specially designed Gibson SG guitar which is part of the charity campaign. The instrument, designed by visual artist Justine Smith and titled “Shine On,” was signed by Mason before being displayed publicly at The O2 (formally the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, London). The display begins June 25 and will last for 10 weeks.

The Smith-designed SG is covered with authentic 50 Pound notes, and is one of 30 on display at The O2. The SG will go under the hammer at an auction event in October 2007 where all proceeds will be split equally between The Prince’s Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. More details and another picture of Nick at GibsonEurope.com.

The Gibson website also includes details and pictures of when Phil Manzanera dropped by the Gibson Guitar Studio in London to sign the ten foot hand painted Roxy Music Les Paul guitar for Gibson Guitartown London. The guitar was painted by visual artist Stephen Buckley and will be public displayed around More London SE1, by Tower Bridge for ten weeks from late June.

Legendary visual artist Gerald Scarfe is also shown in his studio with a ten foot Gibson Les Paul which he is designing on behalf of Ozzy Osbourne as part of the campaign. The guitar will also be displayed publicly around More London, SE1 from June 28th for ten weeks.

Our thanks to DarkSideMoon666 for letting us know about this.
