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!

Syd Barrett tribute tomorrow night Print E-mail

Tomorrow night, the legendary sixties performer Arthur Brown headlines a tribute night to the late Pink Floyd founder, Syd Barrett.

The concert is being held in London at venue 2, in Great Portland Street in the centre of London. Billed as the Technicolor Dream Party, the show has been booked for some time, but with the passing of Syd on July 7th, the decision was made to devote the evening to remembering Barrett.

With a headline act of none other than the legendary Crazy World of Arthur Brown, who had a hit record in 1968 with ‘Fire’, it promises to be an interesting evening. Arthur’s amazing live show still often ends with real fireworks, and we're sure his flaming headdress will make an appearance.

Also on the bill is Interstellar Overcoat, a tribute band that focus purely on the Barrett era of Pink Floyd. Expect to hear the first album complete with all the sound effects, plus the early Floyd singles such as ‘See Emily Play’ and ‘Arnold Lane’. They also perform some of Syd’s late 60’s and early 70’s solo works.

More details of the evening can be found through this link.

Our thanks to Greg Morgan and Matthew North for the head's up on this show.
