Customer Reviews

Live Pink Floyd collectors MUST HAVE!

If you collect Pink Floyd live performances, this book is a must have. There are great sources on the internat, but this is the best coherent compilation of performance dates/locations and setlists.

Work Experience

A truly excellent piece of work. It surely justifies a much higher asking price.However I do wonder how much credit should go to BT for all the generous time they donated to the project. I did not see them listed in the credits for the book.The seven layers were very puzzling, but obviously the authors knew their significance.Overall a very fine complete history of the band

COMPLETE set lists and vivid pics.

This book has a complete guide to ALL of the Floyds shows and has pics, stories, and facts interspersed throughout. Complete discography is included in the back along with the early history of the band in the front. Great buy.

Run Like Hell.....

....because this is as essential a piece of your Pink Floyd collection as is your copy of The Wall or Dark Side Of The Moon.Trust me,you NEED this. Amazing photos,concise historical text and the most complete list of Floyd performances (with set lists when available)ever. Dig in....

One of the best books on the Pink Floyd live experience !!

As a collector of Pink Floyd music this book has become one of my most valued resources. The book has the most accurate information on Pink Floyd's and the solo members live shows and public appearances to date. Each Pink Floyd related event is listed chronologically and most contain the full set list of the show and some include short paragrahps to describe specific happennings at some of the events. I have found that these descriptions very entertaining. The book contains one of the best descriptions of the bands activities before 1967, and very detailed description of the formation of the band beginning as early as occurances in 1962. The biographical account is written well and is enjoyable to read. Packed with lots of information on the band members and their time in Pink Floyd and each of their solo careers. The book is also filled with many high quality pictures, many of which I have never seen before in any other Pink Floyd book realeased to date. The book ends with a short but detailed discography of the band and its solo members works. The book I have is soft back but is still high quality paper and print. Definitly a book for any / every floydian to buy and enjoy. Read it!!!! Shine on.
