With the cancellation of the two Russian shows from the 2022 Echoes tour that Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2022/index.php) are about to start in around a month’s time, a small gap has opened in the schedule – which has turned out to be excellent news for our friends in Lithuania! The band will be playing at the Compensa Concertâ Hall in Vilnius, Lithuania, on May 27th 2022, and tickets have just gone on general sale: May 27th 2022 – Compensa Concertâ Hall, Vilnius, Lithuania (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2022/may-27th-compensa-concert-hall-vilnius-lith.html) – TICKETS (https://www.bilietai.lt/lit/renginiai/koncertai/nick-masons-saucerful-of-secrets-77542) It’s great to see Nick and the gang bring the music of Pink Floyd to locations which have been starved of the band’s music – the only other member of the band to have played Lithuania was Roger Waters in 2018. If you are thinking of going to the show, we suggest you don’t hang around when tickets go on sale on Monday, as we expect them to sell quickly for this 3,000 seater venue.

Mojo: The Collectors’ Series Pink Floyd Deluxe Anthology Edition
Available to order online (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-the-collectors-series-pink-floyd-deluxe-anthology-edition) and hitting UK stores today is a new publication – MOJO The Collectors’ Series – PINK FLOYD: ECHOES 1965-2021 â Deluxe Anthology Edition (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-the-collectors-series-pink-floyd-deluxe-anthology-edition). In early 2019, Mojo (the highly respected UK music magazine) published a two part look at the Floyd’s history: Echoes 1965-1973 and Echoes 1974-2019. They’ve now taken those two and created a new, 260-page “bookazine” blending both into what they call “one sumptuous Deluxe Anthology Edition”. Printed on premium quality paper and with heavy card covers, ECHOES 1965-2021 sees Mojo’s writers – including biographer Mark Blake (he of the excellent Pigs Might Fly (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/books/pigs-might-fly-the-inside-story-of-pink-floyd-2013-edition-mark.html) biography of the band) – unfold Pink Floyd’s tale with their typical knowledge and passion, beginning with the band’s early years as ’60s psychedelic pioneers fronted by Syd Barrett, before journeying through the triumphs and travails of the iconic Waters-Gilmour-Wright-Mason line-up, revisiting their mid-’80s rebirth and continuing right up to the present day. You’ll find the stories behind each of the group’s albums and their guide to what they consider the greatest tracks, as well as fascinating accounts of Mojoâs exclusive face-to-face encounters with Pink Floyd’s members down the years. It’s available from a number of UK stores, but also available to order online (for worldwide despatch) via the GreatMagazines (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-the-collectors-series-pink-floyd-deluxe-anthology-edition) website.

Jon Carin – many happy returns!
Jon Carin (https://www.facebook.com/joncarinofficial), who today celebrates his birthday (Monday, October 21st). The talented multi-instrumentalist has been a key part of the Pink Floyd
operation for many years, first working with David back in 1985 at the London Live Aid show, with both of them in Bryan Ferry’s band, and more recently toured with David Gilmour on his On An Island and Rattle That Lock tours, and Roger Waters on his Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall Live and Us + Them tours. This saw Jon as a key member of Roger’s band for the mammoth tour, which saw the show thrill audiences across the world – live or at the recent cinema screenings, with Jon playing keyboards, guitar and more during the show. Elsewhere, he spent a whole year working with Kate Bush on her triumphant return to the live stage, in a sequence of shows which were held at London’s Eventim Apollo from August to the start of October, five years ago. The picture here shows Jon before David Gilmour’s September 2015 concert in Orange, France, which was praised as one of the best shows of that year’s tour. Jon seems to be constantly in demand, and kept very busy – a testament to what he brings to musical projects. For those who might have missed it, or want another chance to read it, check out our extensive and exclusive interview with Jon from August 2007 (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/other-related-interviews/jon-carin-interview-august-2007-with-brain-d-3.html).
It’s full of fascinating insights into his life and work with various top musicians, including (of course) David, Roger, and Pink Floyd! Hope you are having a great day, Jon!
