Fri, 15 September 2006  Show #68 Release
date: 15. September, 2006 Recorded last week, 8th September, Mansfield, Massachusetts at the Tweeter Center from Section 2, Row S,
FOB, left of center, inside the stacks. The last half of the first set is my favorite
except for when a member of the audience loses his mind after watching the
video of Leaving Beirut. His
screaming of "What about 9-11!" at the end of Leaving
Beirut, continues on through the beginning of Sheep. Besides that annoying
asshole, there is hardly any talking and the 360 degree sound imaging can be
heard. This is an excellent recording for the Set 1: Set 2: Comments[21] |
Fri, 1 September 2006  Show #67 Release date: 1. September, 2006 Here it is, your Pink Floyd podcast with your selections and your intros. Nice job! Thank you. It was fun putting this 'cast together and I didn't even have to think of what to play. This is my favorite podcast so far and I hope you enjoy it as well. Bravo!

date: 18. August, 2006 This podcast is based on a show I had done before (Show #12,

a sonic journey with post-Waters Floyd material and soundscapes. You may want to wear headphones.

Wed, 2 August 2006  Show #64, Release date: 2. August, 2006 Since the "Covers" podcast, I've had many people ask about Phish's performance of Dark Side of the Moon. So I decided to whip up a quickcast of this performance in its entirety recorded on 2. November, 1998. Maybe we should call these special, shorter podcasts of Brain Damage, "Brain Stroke?"
Here's the story of how it all came about from Phish.com. "Over the years, the band has been known to play particularly
exceptional shows in order to make otherwise under-attended or
remotely-situated gigs more unique. On November 2nd at the E Center in

Very sad news... Pink Floyd's Barrett dies, aged 60 Syd Barrett, the troubled genius who co-founded Pink Floyd but spent his
last years in reclusive anonymity, has died, a spokeswoman for the band said
Tuesday. He was 60. The spokeswoman who declined to give her name until the band made an official
announcement confirmed media reports that he had died. She said Barrett died
several days ago, but she did not disclose the cause of death. Barrett had
suffered from diabetes for many years. Barrett co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965 with Roger Waters*, Nick Mason and
Rick Wright, and wrote many of the band's early songs. The group's jazz-infused
rock made them darlings of the London psychedelic scene, and the 1967 album
"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" largely written by Barrett, who also
played guitar was a commercial and critical hit. However, Barrett suffered from mental instability, exacerbated by his use of
LSD. His behavior grew increasingly erratic, and he left the group in 1968 five
years before the release of Pink Floyd's most popular album, "Dark Side of
the Moon." He was replaced by David Gilmour. Barrett released two solo albums "The Madcap Laughs" and
"Barrett" but soon withdrew from the music business altogether. He spent much of the rest of his life living quietly in his hometown of Despite his brief career, Barrett's fragile, wistful songs influenced many
musicians, from David Bowie, who covered the Barrett track "See Emily
Play" to the other members of Pink Floyd, who recorded the album
"Wish You Were Here" as a tribute to their troubled bandmate. * Breitbart incorrectly reports that David Gilmour was a co-founder, as we all know, he was not. I made the correction here. The original source still says David Gilmour. Category: News -- posted at: 10:13 AM Comments[14] |

Show
#60, date: 23. June, 2006 This
special edition of Brain Damage includes covers of favorite Pink Floyd
tunes
performed by other major recording artists. I'm very picky when
other people cover Floyd music but I enjoy all these bands individually. Nick Mason feels innovative covers are more preferable to tribute bands. You be the judge.

July 1977, during which the famous spitting incident occurred. This was the concert that broke the camel's back with obnoxious, large stadium crowds which intern inspired Roger's idea for building The Wall. This was the last show of the tour and the last time Animals would be performed live by the Floyd. It was also the last time Roger would perform Wish You Were Here and Money with Pink Floyd until 28 years later for the famous Live8 reunion. It's an audience recording from the floor section. Sound quality is about a 3.75 on a scale of 1 to 5, (5 being the best) and runs 2hrs 35mins in its entirety, unedited. * Set one: 1. Sheep 2. Pigs On The Wing (part 1) 3. Dogs 4.

Sat, 31 December 2005  Show #47, Release date: 31. December, 2005Yep... One ambitious, Fat Old Sun from Geelong, Australia asked me if he could have a go at making his own Brain Damage radio show for me to hear. I said why not and two weeks later he sent it to me. After listening to it, I feel it deserves some merit. After all he throws in some good narration, has a decent selection of songs and even used a music bed to talk over, just like mine. Fat Old Sun had no intention of this going public but I want to share it with you. Brain Damage "up above" (the original) will be back on 7. January, 2006. Enjoy the surprise podcast and HAPPY NEW YEAR 1. Yet Another Movie (JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, 19. September, 1987) 2. Welcome To The Machine (JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, 19.

It was a cold, damp, drizzily "English" Thursday evening, typical Spring weather for May and perfect weather for a Pink Floyd show. It was the second night during their three night stay in the Boston area. It was Section B2, 19th Row (15 feet in front of the soundboard), Seat 19 (center stage). WOW! It was truly an incredible sensory overload. The day after the concert, the sun was shining bright with few clouds in the sky, yet it was quite windy. Nonetheless, Pink Floyd's airship The Division Belle made a rare appearance. Set 1 1. Astronomy Domine 2. Learning to Fly 3. What Do You Want From Me? 4. On the Turning Away 5. Take it Back 6. Poles Apart 7. Sorrow 8. Keep Talking 9. One of These Days Set 2 1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 2. Breathe 3. Time 4. Breathe (reprise) 5. High Hopes 6. Great Gig In The Sky 7. Wish You Were Here 8.
