Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME TO THE 25th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

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 now begun, thrilling crowds in Brighton, England and Rome, Italy - see all the confirmed David Gilmour concert dates here. We're also 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!

Sadly, the European dates for the Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour have come to their end. The gigs 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!

Pan-European Austrian TV station showing Pink Floyd special next week Print E-mail

Pink Floyd - Dolezal BackstageAustrian TV station ServusTV, a free-to-air channel receivable in all of Europe via satellite (Astra 19,2) is airing a repeat of a programme aired last year. Dolezal Backstage, which features Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger, Falco and others, airs on Thursday 28th January at 20:15-21:15 (GMT +01:00), and on Saturday 30th January at 00:20-01:20 (GMT +01:00).

Rudi Dolezal is a famous Austrian filmmaker, specialized in music videos for big rock groups: The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Falco and Frank Zappa and many more. His own programme on ServusTV in Austria, called Dolezal Backstage, has the presenter talking about, and showing, his exclusive backstage stories. The show is often funny, curious and sometimes very odd.

This is the fourth episode of the series, where he talks about his biggest defeat (Pink Floyd) and other stories about other artists. This defeat was a film shoot for an interview with David Gilmour, which took place during 1979 in London. There were elaborate preparations - many months before. It was a fantastic interview - three and a half hours long. Amongst other things, he talked about the whole history of Floyd, about the album The Wall, and about the shooting for the video clip with the children from the Islington school in London.

All went well and David went back home. Seemingly, everything was perfect! Then, one day later, Rudi got a phone call from the BBC's film laboratory in London, who had accidentally damaged all of the film that has been shot! But David was kind enough to return for another attempt, but the second interview was not as good as the original. 10 years later Dolezal got a second chance and this time everything went well.

Our thanks to Michael for the information about this show, and the screenshot from the broadcast last year.
