Wish You Were Here - A People's History of Pink Floyd

<p>Pink Floyd have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide. This is their story in the words of their fans. Take a trip (without the aid of LSD) back to 1966 when Pink Floyd were at the heart of psychedelia and Swinging London. With memories from their early shows through to their 2005 appearance at <em>Live 8</em> this is the Pink Floyd story recalled through more than 500 eyewitness accounts. It's the story of Syd Barrett founding the band and of his genius and burn out; of the move from making hit singles ('See Emily Play' & 'Arnold Layne') to David Gilmour joining the band and recording multi-platinum albums <em>The Dark Side of the Moon</em> <em>Wish You Were Here</em> and <em>The Wall</em>; and of the gruelling world tours and tension that fuelled the creative genius of Roger Waters and David Gilmour a tension which continues to spark.</p>
