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!

Waters plays live with Marianne Faithfull! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 18 November 2004

Hal (aka Harry) Waters, son of former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters, has been keeping himself busy recently, as our report from Brain Damage contributor Thomas Haaning Christiansen reveals...

On November 13th I went to see Marianne Faithfull in concert, live in Vega, Copenhagen, Denmark. I was surprised, to say the least, to see a familiar face walk on stage to accompany her on the keyboards - none other than Hal Waters. What a treat!!

And it only got better. Halfway through the show the lights focussed on Harry, and he and the band started playing Incarceration Of A Flower Child - of course a cover version from Marianne's 'Vagabond Ways'. Absolutely amazing - Waters Jr. playing great keyboards on "The old man's" old song.

Anyway, I had a small chat with Harry just after the show (forgot to ask him why he turned into Hal - the computer?). He is touring with Faithfull for about four weeks - 20 shows or so around Europe, and the Copenhagen show was only the second on the tour. According to Hal they had a terrible premiere (in fact, the worst live show any of them had ever done) in Iceland two nights ago. Much more satisfying last night. He claimed that playing "Incarceration..." was Marianne's choice.

Basically confirmed what we already knew about 'The old man' - as he constantly referred to him. Too much work on the opera, but hoped that Roger would tour in 2005 - and hoped that he (Harry) would be included. He did think so!

I asked him how Roger was coping now - after November 2nd. They had not spoken since ... so he did not know!

He was certainly in a great mood and was kind enough to provide me with a signature on the ticket. Enough for now, catch the show if it comes anywhere close to you ...

Many thanks to Thomas for this report!
