Pink Floyd History and Biography
Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd are renowned for their lavish stage shows, combining over-the-top visual experiences with their music to create a show in which the artists themselves are almost secondary. In Pink Floyd early days, Pink Floyd were among the first bands to use a dedicated traveling light show in conjunction with their performances, Pink Floyd projecting slides, Pink Floyd film clips, and Pink Floyd psychedelic patterns onto a large circular screen (dubbed "Mr. Screen"). Later, Pink Floyd added additional special effects were added to the show, including lasers, pyrotechnics, and oversized balloons, notably a giant pig balloon which floated over the audience during performances of "Pigs" from the Animals album.
Pink Floyd mounted their most elaborate stage show in conjunction with the tour of The Wall, in which a band of session musicians played the first song, wearing rubber face masks (proving successfully that the members of the Pink Floyd were not known for their individual personalities). Later in the Pink Floyd show, a huge wall was built between the audience and the band, being demolished, explosively, as the finale. This Pink Floyd show was re-created (by Waters) and a number of guest artists (including Bryan Adams, The Scorpions, and Van Morrison) assembled around Roger Waters in 1990 amid the ruins of the Berlin Wall.
The lavish Pink Floyd stage shows were also the basis for Douglas Adams' fictional rock group "Disaster Area" (creators of the loudest noise in the universe, and making use of solar-flares in their stage show) in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Douglas Adams was a personal friend of David Gilmour and made a one-off guest appearance, on guitar, on the Division Bell tour (October 28, 1994).
