Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

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!

Nick Mason video interview - online now Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 30 April 2005

We reported last week on Nick Mason's brief tour of Italy, to promote his great new book "La prima autobiografia dei Pink Floyd" (the Italian language version of "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd").

As part of this, on April 27th, Nick took part in a live videochat from Milan. The interview, at 3pm (Italian time) was webcast on www.rcslibri.it and it is now available to watch on demand, in Real Media format.

The interview lasts just over an hour, and is, in places, a fascinating listen with some unusual questions and subjects raised. With the English/Italian translation, it is a bit halting in places, but still worth catching. The main page for the interview can be found here, and here's the links for the Realvideo streams themselves:

- For ADSL/Broadband connections
- For 56k modem connections

There are many topics covered - including his cars, digital music downloads, how the book came about, Syd Barrett, the chances of a reconciliation between Roger Waters and David Gilmour, and even talks of Roger's Ca Ira opera - and calls it "fantastic".

He talks about the release of PULSE on DVD, and apologises for it being "two years later than they'd hoped - this was due to disagreements over the format, contents, etc."

On receiving the question of unreleased material, Nick mentioned that it is one of the things that they will be looking at on his return to the UK - to see if there was anything that could be released.

Possibly the strangest question was when Nick was asked to compare himself and the other, past and present members of the band, to models of cars!
