Incorporating more than 100 new and exclusive interviews, this definitive guide covers Pink Floyd from their Cambridge beginnings in the early 1960s to their triumphant re-formation at Live 8 in 2005—24 years after their last live performance together and the death of their troubled founder-member Syd Barrett. Highlighting how Pink Floyd's albums such as Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall consistently remain some of rock's biggest sellers of all every year on CD, and how both David Gilmour and Roger Waters continue to command impressive crowds on live tours, this remarkable account of a band that has acquired cult status amongst its audience over several decades is essential reading for Pink Floyd fans and appreciators of music alike.
