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!

A very happy 2025 to you all - and let's hope that there's some interesting Pink Floyd-related activity on the horizon. This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, has now been released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates were announced, and these have thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA - see all the confirmed and now completed David Gilmour concert dates here. We're eager for your views on each of the shows, and really welcome comments, reviews, pictures or anything else you'd be willing to share with the Floyd community - [email protected] is the address to use - thank you!

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. Don't forget that there's the live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Finally, 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!

GIlmour - "Three Men In A Boat" pictures Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 04 January 2006

As previously reported, this week, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour made a fascinating guest appearance in a special BBC comedy production, which aired on BBC2 TV.

The production was an attempt to re-trace the journey up the Thames immortalised by Jerome K Jerome in his classic Three Men in a Boat. The three comedians taking part came across David's houseboat recording studio, The Astoria, early on their first day, and decided to play a visit.

David, ever the affable host, gave them a guided tour of the boat and even played an excerpt of a work-in-progress track to the trio - "Smile". Many of you will recall that this received its debut at David's Meltdown concert in London, in 2001. Five years later, very little has changed in the song - still a beautifully mellow, drifting love song.

We'll keep an eye open for a repeat of this show for all those who missed it. In the meantime, below are a number of screen shots from the programme, to give you a good flavour of what it entailed. And for all of you who have written to ask, we will not be making the sequence available for download from this site, as it is a copyrighted item - apologies.
