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!

Gerald Scarfe exhibition moves to Prague Print E-mail

Gerald Scarfe exhibition in PragueLast year, the work of Gerald Scarfe, the world-famous British icon of social and political caricature - and collaborator with Pink Floyd for various 1970s projects most notably The Wall, and Roger's Pros and Cons - had its Czech premiere at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum in Český Krumlov.

The exhibition of more than 100 large-format drawings and watercolours closed in October 2012, but some great news for our Czech friends: the exhibition is opening at the beautiful Kampa Museum in Prague tomorrow, June 7th 2013 and will run there for some three months. The Museum is situated on the eastern bank of the Kampa Island on the River Vltava.

Assuming the exhibition transfers in its entirety from its Krumlov staging, it should offer the following:

  • political and social commentary and caricatures of British and world politicians, the Royal Family, but also Czechoslovak politicians from 1969
  • cartoons of showbusiness personalities (Woody Allen, Mick Jagger, Madonna...)
  • set and costume design for the English National Opera (Orpheus in the Underworld)
  • album artwork for the Pink Floyd album The Wall - and the new exhibition poster shows The Teacher (looking a little more like Scarfe than we've seen previously) to hint at the contents of the show
  • designs for the Walt Disney film Hercules (Scarfe was the first outside designer to work with the studio since Salvador Dalí!)
  • creation of the title sequence for the Yes Minister series which appeared on BBC television

For more information on the exhibition, and the venue, visit www.museumkampa.cz. Our thanks to Vlado Marcinek for the information.
