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!

Two new Roger Waters tracks - update Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 07 August 2004

Further to our recent items regarding the news that Roger Waters will be making two new tracks available soon on the internet, for his fans to download, we have some updates for you.

Firstly, we understand that, despite the delays there have been in getting it on to certain sites, including Roger’s own Sony website - RogerWaters.com, the i-Tunes website, and other legal download services, they should be available within the next week. We will keep a close eye on this for you.

Originally, we were told that the two songs were "To Kill The Child" and "Leaving Beirut", but this seems to have changed as an interview with Roger in the latest "Hampton Jitney" magazine, the local news magazine of the Hamptons region, where Roger Waters appeared last night (August 7th) presenting selections from his forthcoming opera Ca Ira.

In the interview, he mentions: "...As we speak, Sony is putting two songs out on the web. These are two songs I wrote shortly after the invasion of Iraq last year. They are specifically about that, and my feelings about this, in the election year. It seems sensible not to try and wait to fit them into some album in the future, but, for better or worse, put them out there. They are kind of overblown demos really. And, for what it's worth, to stick my oar into the tub of US and British politics as well. There are two songs, one is called Berlin and the other is called To Kill The Child, that will be appearing very soon on the Sony website or iTunes. I've mixed them and delivered them."

Roger then mentions that "Sony has given them to Michael Moore [documentary film maker] who is putting together a compilation which will have something to do with Fahrenheit 911." As yet, there are no details of this compilation album available.

Finally, Roger hints at a possible attendance at a forthcoming concert - the Huggy Bear Benefit this summer, run by Don Henley. He mentions that he may be doing a couple of songs there. As we get more on this, again, we'll let you know!
