內容簡介: |
Mark Blake draws on his own interviews with band members as
well as the group’s friends, road crew, musical contemporaries,
former housemates, and university colleagues to produce a riveting
history of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. We follow
Pink Floyd from the early psychedelic nights at UFO, to the
stadium-rock and concept-album zenith of the seventies, to the
acrimonious schisms of the late ’80s and ’90s. Along the way there
are fascinating new revelations about Syd Barrett’s chaotic life at
the time of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the band’s
painstaking and Byzantine recording sessions at Abbey Road, and the
fractious negotiations to bring about their fragile, tantalizing
reunion in Hyde Park.
Meticulous, exacting, and ambitious as any Pink Floyd album,
Comfortably Numb is the definitive account of this most
adventurous—and most English—rock band.
