About This Item
UK: Danann Publishing Limited, 2017. Hardcover. New. A clean crisp well preserved 2017 Danann Publishing hardcover in a fine tight binding. Little to no shelf wear. Text is bright and free of marks or underlining. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The story of Pink Floyd is embedded in the story of an era, of a generation tasting personal freedom from the first time and their musical heroes, the musicians who accompanied them and attempted to blaze the trail for them, often at enormous emotional cost. One of those groups of musicians far out in front, balancing on the apex of the age and holding the flag aloft, was Pink Floyd.
Credited with spearheading innovative musical experimentation with being pioneers of live performance by delivering lavish spectaculars, Pink Floyd and their music were inseparable from the swinging sixties and edgy seventies. Their excursion into psychedelic and progressive rock often earned them scathing comments but undeterred they veered off the predictable pop music paths into unknown territory and by doing so
they influenced the progress of rock music like no other bands producing some of the most memorable sounds of the 1960s and 70s.
Initially propelled by the brilliance of Sydney Barrett's troubled mind, later by Roger Waters strong character Gandhis lyrics marbles with social commentary, and then finally guided by David Gilmour and his unique guitar playing, Pink Floyd have traversed a fifty-year arc pitted with musical fearlessness, drugs, argument, success and bitter disappointment.
