Pink Floyd (1966-1980)
Approx. 90 min.
From their early work with the legendary but doomed Syd Barrett to later iconic albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Pink Floyd have created a body of work that ranks among the greats of rock and roll. Pink Floyd exploded on Swinging London’s music scene during the mid 1960s with their strange, trippy, spaced out, psychedelic sound. After hit songs like See Emily Play and Arnold Lane, the group’s genius songwriter/singer/bass player Syd Barrett had a mental breakdown and could no longer perform. Replaced by David Gilmour, it took time for the band to find a new voice, but when they did the result was landmark works like Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall.
Shelley Archives has looked deep into their vault and discovered extraordinary rare color and black and white footage of Pink Floyd from their earliest days playing on television, concerts, promotional films, newsreels, out takes, home movies and more!
This evening of amazing performances will present a full retrospective of Pink Floyd’s entire career from the 1960s to their groundbreaking concerts from all around the world during the 1970s. No fan of this brilliant band will want to miss this evening of classic footage of Pink Floyd!
