Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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!

Two pairs of Roger Waters London O2 Arena tickets to be won! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 14 May 2008

rwfrontpgCONTEST NOW CLOSED - winners being chosen and will be contacted by phone by the end of Saturday...  A very special competition for you today - we have a great pair of tickets to give away for BOTH of Roger's two London shows at the O2 Arena! Tickets for the shows, which look to be the final time that Dark Side Of The Moon will be performed in the UK, sold incredibly quickly when they first went on sale, so we know many of you missed out. Here's one final opportunity!

So, if you and a friend are available on Sunday, May 18th, or Monday, May 19th, if you can make the journey to the venue, and if you fancy a pair of superb floor tickets for the show (who wouldn't?!), then make sure you get your entry in quickly!

 The tickets have been given to us by an extremely kind Brain Damage regular who lives in Canada, who is now unable to attend the show due to last minute travel issues. We will be picking up the tickets ourselves from the box office at the venue, and so the lucky winners will need to meet us there just prior to the concert so that we can hand them over.

  To be in with a chance of this great prize, you first have to answer the following question correctly:

  • Roger and his band will have performed Dark Side Of The Moon more than a hundred times since the tour started in 2006. What was the first venue on the 2006 leg, and where will the 2008 dates finish?

Roger Waters UK concerts 2008 Then, send your answers along with your name, address, and a contact phone number (ideally, mobile phone number), to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , with a subject line of MAY 18th if you want to be in the draw for the Sunday night show, or MAY 19th if you would like tickets for the Monday night show.

If you want to be in with a chance for both nights, you'll need to send two emails. Entries have to reach us by 10am (UK time) on Saturday (May 17th).

UPDATE: COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. WE HAVE SELECTED THE TICKET WINNERS NOW, AND THE LUCKY ONES HAVE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL WITH THE GOOD NEWS. TICKETS FOR THE SUNDAY NIGHT SHOW HAVE BEEN WON BY ALAN SALISBURY, AND TICKETS FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT SHOW HAVE BEEN WON BY MELANIE LUNN. Well done to Alan and Melanie for being chosen from the huge number of entries!

The lucky winners will be notified by phone on Saturday. Please note that you MUST be able to attend on the night you enter for. Any entries which don't comply with the conditions above will not be included! Please note that all travel and other arrangements will be your responsibility. The tickets are pledged to the winners in good faith, but are subject to there being no problems with the physical collection of the tickets from the box office by Brain Damage staff. Winners will be notified immediately if there are any hitches.

Good luck to all that enter!
