Pink Floyd: In the Flesh

Summary: Performance review
Review: A truly amazing work obviously written by a true fan with a bad performance review. The statistical effort needs some urgent B2 coaching in order to reach the dizzy heights at the top of the "Group of Six".

It seems that the authors have gone the extra mile in order to keep it authentic with a generous amount of time off work donated by their respective employers or was work manager involved?

Excellent.

Summary: Work Experience
Review: 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

Summary: One of the best books on the Pink Floyd live experience !!
Review: 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.

Summary: The Pink Floyd bible
Review: Pink Floyd: In the Flesh is the true definitive biography on Pink Floyd that I have read and is better than Saucerful of Secrets(which only covered up to 1990) by a longshot. I am still waiting for Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's biography of the band comes out. I just got this book and haven't stopped reading it. This book was written by Glenn Povey, whom was one of the publishers of the Pink Floyd fanzine Brain Damage. This book lists every concert performance the band did from 1962 to the 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony(I didn't know Floyd opened for The Who in 1968 in Philadelphia). Also, it has chapters that covers the history of the band from the pre-Floyd days in 1962 to Syd Barrett's breakdown to the success of Dark Side to the ousting of Rick Wright to the Roger Waters/David Gilmour feud to the band's induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. This book also has lots of photos and press releases, some of which I had not ever seen before. If you want a good book on Pink Floyd, buy this, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: A GREAT BOOK FOR ALL MAJOR PINK FLOYD FANS
Review: When I bought this book I thought it would just have info onthe band. Theres alot more than that, theres dates to all concerts andsolo concerts. Talks about Pink Floyd history starting since dayone. The early days of Bob Close and Syd Barrett till these past years of Pink Floyd. Talks about every single album Pink Floyd recorded and when they were on tour. Very very intresting book. Would of payed lots more for it!
