DeFlerns (Malaysia) video skills with AI are evident in this video. Darmin also plays all the interesting keyboard synth sounds. Paul DeSmidt is doing all the percussion here. Paul and I played gigs together in the late 70's at and around Madison Wisconsin. We were a powerful rhythm section then and continue to become even more powerful presently.. check out the video link at the top of the page.. This is number six in our series with another soon to be finished. ​Brain Damaged​"Brain Damage" is the ninth track[nb 1] from English rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.[2][3] It was sung on record by Roger Waters (with harmonies by David Gilmour), who would continue to sing it on his solo tours.

The band originally called this track "Lunatic" during live performances and recording sessions.
