Behind
The Wall (Inside the Minds of Pink Floyd) tells the
definitive story of one of rock cultures most fundamental
groups of all time. Their psychedelic beginnings, when
the enigmatic Syd Barrett led the group, are meticulously
narrated with interviews from the members of the group,
to their artistic producers, managers, journalists and
close friends. Also included are images of the group
playing in those years of space and climatic sounds.
The history of the group advances to the indispensable
album The Dark Side of the Moon, which placed them in
the sales rankings for years, and also pauses in the
tense The Wall which was transformed into a monumental
spectacle. The story continues with the film by Alan
Parker, filmed in 1982, and transitions to the last
years of the group when the line-up is led by guitarist
David Gilmour and without the presence of bassist Roger
Waters (primarily responsible for The Wall). With the
sad and unexpected death of keyboardist Richard Wright
on September 15th 2008 from cancer, thus closes a crucial
chapter in music history.
This edition also includes The Dark Side of the Moon
Revisited, where members of the most important progressive
British bands (Kind Crimson, Yes, Gentle Giant) next
to Americans like Robbie Krieger (The Doors), Edgar
Winter and Steve Porcaro (Toto) perform the legendary
album in full, in truly outstanding versions. |
