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!

Two further David Gilmour interviews Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 26 September 2008

inside astoria With the release this week of Live in Gdansk, David Gilmour has been talking to various parts of the world's press. First, he takes New Zealand's 3News on a leisurely tour of his houseboat recording studio Astoria.

He said: "I didn't even think about putting a studio in it at first. It was just very, very beautiful, a magical place. Well it's lovely to be here, you know, to have the water gently drifting past us and all that, and I like to have windows. You know I've spent rather too much time in studios and most of them don't have windows, and I can't stand being in places that don't have windows."

View the article here, and a three minute video of the interview here.

Published today in the UK newspaper The Sun is an extensive interview with David Gilmour about the LiG release. Whilst conducted prior to Richard's sad passing, it finds David in reflective mood, talking about the 2006 tour, and how "it brought Rick out of his shell more and more. He was stamping his personality and forcefulness on the whole thing but Echoes was where it showed the most.

“Seeing Rick come to the fore was really great. We did Echoes a few times on the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour in the late Eighties but it didn’t ever quite gel for some reason. On this tour, it was the highlight of the show, such good fun to play.”

The full interview, which can be read online at www.TheSun.co.uk, also includes David talking about his solo career at length, right back to his first solo album in 1978.
