Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains in LA 2021 – tickets on sale
Some important information today, particularly for those in or near California: early tickets for the next location of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains have just gone on sale! It was recently announced that it was going to the USA as its long-awaited next step, arriving in the country for the first time. The exhibition will open at the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Los Angeles, California in 2021. The tickets which have just become available – as a pre-sale to the museum’s mailing list subscribers – are for most of August, with time slots throughout each day for people to select from. Next Monday, May 3rd, the general sale of tickets begins so this is your opportunity to hopefully get your choice of date and time. There’s a limited capacity (due to COVID-19, and to make the experience better generally) so prime time slots are bound to sell quickly. If the new staging is anything like past iterations of this exhibition (which originally opened at London’s Victoria Albert Museum in May 2017, and has since toured selected locations in Europe) it is a wonderful journey through the years of Pink Floyd’s history, even incorporating related items from the band member’s lives pre-Floyd. To see instruments, equipment, props, posters, and so much more that have been key elements, is a joy, and is not to be missed! The venue, along Hollywood Boulevard, is considered a historical landmark of Los Angeles. The building was built in 1935, and was eventually remodelled in 1959. It closed its doors in 1995. The space has been used for film locations and live performances. Now, the Vogue Multicultural Museum has opened its doors to welcome all types of cultural and artistic expressions, becoming a unique place in the heart of Hollywood, and the Pink Floyd Exhibition is the first exhibition it is hosting. This picture to the left has just been posted on their socials and shows the eye-catching frontage, along one on the most heavily visited roads in Hollywood! Visit www.vmmla.com (http://www.vmmla.com) to join the email list for this early access to pre-sale tickets; once your subscription is confirmed, they should email you immediately with the pre-sale link. For the exhibition’s own website, visit PinkFloydExhibition.com (https://www.pinkfloydexhibition.com) although currently there is little information on there. They are selling tickets at half-hour intervals for entrance; they recommend you arrive fifteen minutes early to check in, stow any baggage in lockers, and suchlike, and you need to be at the museum within 30 minutes of your ticket’s entry time. They also recommend you allow at least two hours for your visit. To our mind, this is the absolute minimum you should give yourself – a lot of people at past stagings of the exhibition have spent at least double that to take in everything on display. The website also has more information including location, COVID-19 considerations for attendees, and hopefully soon, the dates that the exhibition is being staged, and potentially even an online store. We’ll keep you posted.

Previous stagings of the exhibition have seen extensions to the finish date due to demand but remember this is NOT guaranteed and should not be assumed.

Mick Fleetwood & Friends concert on Blu-ray/CD/LP – unboxing
Around fourteen months ago, legendary drummer Mick Fleetwood enlisted an all-star cast for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind concert, in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust (https://teenagecancertrust.org), which was held on Tuesday, February 25th at London’s legendary venue, The Palladium – shortly before Covid-19 affected life everywhere, and resulted in lockdowns in many countries. The bill for Mick Fleetwood Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green And The Early Years Of Fleetwood Mac, included Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher, Pete Townshend, Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett and many more. Legendary producer Glyn Johns joined as the executive sound producer and the house band featured Fleetwood himself along with Andy Fairweather Low, Dave Bronze and Ricky Peterson. Very sadly, five months after the concert, Peter passed away. For those who weren’t able to attend the concert, three different editions were announced for release – a Super Deluxe Edition Box Set, with the entire show on 4LP, 2CD and a Blu-ray in a book (and copies ordered early included your choice of name in the concert documentary credits, a reproduction signed concert poster, and reproduction signed set list); a Blu-ray and 2CD set; and a 4LP set. These were originally slated for release on October 16th, 2020, but with Covid-19 affecting the production of the release, these releases were postponed to April 30th, 2021 – the end of this month. Just unveiled is this “unboxing” video of the Super Deluxe Edition, which may whet your appetite for this release: To order the various editions, you can do so from the following Amazon stores (thus helping Brain Damage with a much needed contribution towards site running costs, at no extra cost to you!): MICK FLEETWOOD FRIENDS – 4LP, Blu-ray & 2CD box set: Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08NVDLM6B/braindamage-21)

We’ll try and get confirmation of this though.
Lost Souls: A Fictional Journey Through 50 Years of Pink Floyd
As we suspect many of you are fully aware, over the years there’s been more than a healthy number of books about Pink Floyd, covering the music, the personalities, the live experiences, and more. For a new book to stand out, it has to offer something a little different from the majority already on the shelves. The newly published ‘Lost Souls: A Fictional Journey Through 50 Years of Pink Floyd’ by Dutch music journalist and author Edwin Ammerlaan seemed to be written with exactly that in mind. The book centres on a teenager called Matt Hallander who in 1967 accidentally bumps into Roger Waters and Syd Barrett on a ferry from Ibiza to Formentera, forming a fascination for the Floyd which expanded into friendship with the members of the band. Managing to get a job with a music publication, the protagonist builds trust with the band and is chosen to write a book about them. This necessitates spending time with them, interviewing them, and finding out how they all work and live collectively. Ammerlaan was keen to find a new angle on the band when he was approached by a Dutch publisher to write about them. In his words “I’ve been a freelance music journalist since 1987 and have written many features about Pink Floyd in that time. I rejected it because I felt that most things about Pink Floyd had already been thoroughly documented. To add a new perspective to the Floyd history would be virtually impossible.” He turned away from the suggested Dutch language book, repeating all the normal stories, to write in a more personal, subjective way for an international audience. It weaves together actual events, and interviews he, and others, conducted with the band members, into an absorbing fictional narrative following his main character’s “coming of age” story conflating his development with the band’s. Some of the interviews have been changed to sound more conversational, and there’s a healthy dose of fictitious invention thrown in to move the story along. It’s a curious concept but seems to work very well. The easy, conversational style of writing keeps the interest going, not least to see where the story goes. Having experienced some of the concerts Ammerlaan describes in the book, he captures things that I noticed and felt at times, and with his use of Matt as his main character’s name, on a personal level this felt a little odd at first but I got used to it! From the reaction of others in the Floyd community who have also got the book, the attention to detail and atmosphere seems to have captured the imagination, and there’s some very positive word of mouth for this book. It won’t be for everyone (and don’t expect a thorough biography of the band – that can be found elsewhere in numerous places) but for something quite different it could be just what some people are after. If you want to check out the book, it is available as an eBook on Kindle, or as a paperback, now.
