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!

Wall analysis and a Cambridge look at the early Pink Floyd Print E-mail

Queen Edith's Pink Floyd articleWith this time of year often comes time to sit back, relax, and read about things that interest you. With Covid-19 restrictions in many places too, this has been enforced onto people who might otherwise be out and about, enjoying live entertainment, shopping, or eating out. We've had a couple of BD readers in touch with articles they've written, that you might be interested in...

First, Adamo Prina contacted us to let us know about a blog he has started up about cinema. For the first article, he has focused on the Roger Waters The Wall movie, looking in some detail at the film, and Roger's narrative addition of the trip to Anzio/Cassino. To read the article, visit take-one.eu/movies/roger-waters-the-wall. If you like what you read on there, or have comments or suggestions, Adamo will be glad to hear from you, and his email address is on the site.

The other article of interest comes from Chris Rand, who edits a local residents magazine in Cambridge, and for a recent issue he wrote a 2000-word article on the origins of Pink Floyd in the streets around the Queen Edith's area. In the story, there's some original quotes from residents who knew Syd and Roger as kids. He said that "as a huge Floyd fan, it's a story I've been itching to write for years!"

You can read the article at the magazine's website: queen-ediths.info/pink-floyd-queen-ediths-rock-legends.

Our thanks to Adamo and Chris, and we hope you enjoy their articles. We always welcome contributions of any kind from our readership, so do please get in touch with anything!
