Pink Floyd: Reflections and Echoes: On Record, On Stage and On Film, 1965 - 2005 [Hardcover]

Bob Carruthers (Author), Tommy Vance (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2008

For more than 40 years, Pink Floyd has produced some of the most creative and innovative music in rock history. Known as much for their innovative experiments with sound as for their internal conflicts, Pink Floyd produced legendary albums—among them Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here—that dramatically influenced future generations of artists. This expansive history investigates the often stormy personal relationships between the band members—in particular between Roger Waters, the genius behind Pink Floyd’s greatest work, and brilliant lead guitarist David Gilmour—as well as the stories behind their greatest tracks and the group’s trademark stage shows. The accompanying DVDs provide a superb visual record of the group in action and include interviews with band members and those closest to the band, as well as critical analysis by a team of respected journalists and musicians.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, July 24, 2009

This review is from: Pink Floyd: Reflections and Echoes: On Record, On Stage and On Film, 1965 - 2005 (Hardcover)

I bought this book and DVD collection as a gift for my father. When he first unwrapped the plastic and looked through the pages, the paper looked very cheap and dull, not the shiny glossy paper you'd expect to see in a book containing pictures. When he finally got around to watching the DVDs, he said the quality was laughable. It looked like someone patched together random interviews and performances of the band using amatuer footage that could have been copied from YouTube. My suggestion would be to find another book...especially if its a gift! If it had been anyone besides my dad (who can at least laugh about it), I would have been extremely embarrassed!
