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!

Tsunami Aid: A Concert Of Hope TV show - DVD release next month Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 16 January 2005

Saturday evening's NBC's charity gala, Tsunami Aid: A Concert Of Hope, which included a lovely, touching version of "Wish You Were Here" by Roger Waters and Eric Clapton, will have highlights of the show rush released onto DVD, currently expected to appear next month.

The show, recorded at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, the BBC studios in London, and NBC Studios at the Rockefeller Center in New York (where the Roger Waters segment was recorded on Friday), was shot on High Definition cameras for the DVD release, which is expected to raise plenty more money for the Tsunami appeal.

As yet, the organisers do not have figures for the amount donated on the evening. With a number of Hollywood's top stars manning the telephones, viewers jammed the phone lines making donations with the hope of an added bonus of their details being taken by the likes of George Clooney and Matt Damon.

Many of the evening's performances will also be able to be purchased and downloaded from the Sony Connect site (which also has a European counterpart) and it is believed that Roger's performance will be one of those made available.

Donations can still be made to the charity supported by the show last night - The American Red Cross, or alternatively, you can make a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee who share all contributions around twelve different charities, ensuring each has the right funding at the right time. Funds raised through the show will support the American Red Cross two-phased assistance plan which includes specialized relief immediately and over the long term in the following areas: food and safe water; healthcare and disease prevention; immediate family supplies; mental health counselling; disaster preparedness and prevention measures.

Brain Damage is also participating in the Pink Floyd Tsunami Raffle which has just been launched. We're hoping that the combined efforts of a number of Floyd sites can help raise loads of money for the millions affected by the tragedy...
