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!

Pink Floyd Sampler CD from Best BuyAs Brain Damage regulars will know, often we hold a competition at the end of the year, giving away some hopefully interesting prizes. As 2011 comes to a close, we thought we'd better keep the tradition going, and hopefully provide you with a bit of fun working out the answers to our questions, some of which are quite tricky.

This year, we have the quiz-setting talents of Martin Kilbride to thank. Martin came up with the questions you'll see below, all of which are based around Pink Floyd, their music, and related stuff. We have some nice prizes on offer, for the winners:

  • Dark Side Of The Moon Experience edition
  • Wish You Were Here Experience edition
  • Limited edition Best Buy (US) exclusive "Pink Floyd Sampler" CD
  • Exclusive promo Why Pink Floyd? t-shirts (size large)

So, if you fancy any of that, make sure you enter!

Without further ado, here are the questions. The answers are all in alphabetical order, and the number of letters for the word/words we are after is shown in brackets after the clue. To be in with a chance of winning one of our great prizes, you'll need to answer as many as you can, correctly, and get them to us before the closing date - midnight GMT on January 8th, 2012. Entries need to be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and please, just one entry per household. If you have a particular prize in mind, ensure you make a note on your entry as we will try to match prizes to those who want them, as best as possible. Good luck!
