Echoes: The Complete History of Pink Floyd

Glenn Povey

Mind Head Publishing, 2007 - Rock groups - 368 pages

From their gigs in tiny church halls to multimillion-selling albums--"The Dark Side" "of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here," and the rock opera "The Wall"--and elaborate stadium shows, this tome celebrates legendary rock band Pink Floyd. Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and rare graphic memorabilia, including posters, advertisements, handbills, and tickets from every era of the band's remarkable history, this survey provides a comprehensive overview of the group, its members, and the times. In addition to a biographical account of the band's collective and individual careers--from their pre-Floyd times in the early 1960s to the present day and their music's evolution from psychedelic and space rock to progressive rock genres--this definitive reference presents a meticulously researched chronological listing of every Pink Floyd and solo concert with set lists, radio and television appearances, and a UK and U.S. discography.

User Review  - Pamela - Goodreads

Any true Pink Floyd fan should own this book. Great reference information. And Tom, although Syd Barrett was a remarkable writer/lyricist (not so much a musician), there was/is more to Pink Floyd after his departure.
