Pink Floyd twice overcame the loss of the band’s creative driving force and principal writer. First there was the sad decline of Syd Barrett then the long the festering war which saw the sacking of Richard Wright, the unexpected departure of Roger Waters and a ferocious high court legal battle. Over the years the Floyd have been forthright in their criticism of their own work, and of each other. This penetrating independent film review draws on the media pronouncements of David Gilmour, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright to produce the most frank and candid first hand appraisal of the Floyd phenomenon ever produced.
THE BOOK Accompanying this unique film is the 96 page book ‘Pink Floyd and the Press 1966-1996’ featuring a comprehensive review of the relationship between the band and its critics.
This totally independent film and book review was made with complete editorial freedom. The recollections expressed have not been censored or reviewed by the interviewees making this the ultimate hard hitting independent review on film and in print of the career of Pink Floyd from the inside in the words of those who really matter; the musicians themselves.
