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 new Roger Waters Wall tour related interviews published Print E-mail

Rolling Stone, June 10th 2010

Today's edition of The Times newspaper in the UK includes a nice cover feature with a new illustration by (Times cartoonist) Gerald Scarfe on the front of the "Playlist" supplement (click thumbnail, right). The feature includes an interview with Roger Waters on the forthcoming Wall tour.

"My fiancée [the actress Laurie Durning] sowed the seed and I started gnawing on it. But I didn't want to go out and whine about how miserable I was as a young man." Instead, as the Times notes, developing the antiwar subtext of the original work, The Wall becomes an allegory for today's world: "Nations are subject to history in the same way that an individual is, and that includes collective fear. To talk about the evil ones, as [George W.] Bush did, places certain countries and cultures outside a wall that defines national and ideological boundaries. So I've worked that into the meaning of the show."

His enthusiasm for the tour is clear: "I'm no longer as judgmental of myself or of others. As a consequence, I like being on stage. I mean, there are 20,000 people out there and they all think you're great! I like to make eye contact with the audience, to make loud rock'n'roll noises and see a crowd enjoy it."

On the other side of the Atlantic, Roger appears in the June 10th edition of Rolling Stone (again, click thumbnail). Finding him in a production studio in Manhattan, RS ask him about the staging of the new show, the new band, and also talks about the success of the tour.
