In The Flesh: Pigs (3DO) numbers
Pigs (Three Different Ones) features some information you might want to consider for this article, about the numbers Roger shouted (yes dharmabum, it's that thing that PFFF mentioned, and I was able to find a citation for it — he can't say he didn't have the chance to add that information himself ;) ). —Rotring 12:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL, that's funny. I guess his snippet turned you into a genuine "expert" now. ;) Actually, I had heard of the numbers shouted out in "Pigs" before (and have heard it on ROIOs myself, my disapproval of ROIOs ends at not thinking sites dedicated to them suitable for Wikipedia articles). This is what Schaffner has to say about it:


 * "The fans, meanwhile, puzzled over his habit of always shouting out a single numeral in the midst of 'Pigs' ... until someone noticed that it would generally correspond to the number of In the Flesh gigs the Floyd had weathered thus far. It was as if Waters could hardly wait for the ordeal to end."


 * So both views should probably be mentioned. It would be really nice to have a more direct citation of Mason's statement the ref in the "Pigs" article mentions. - dharmabum 21:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

60s
Presumably their early stuff at the UFO club should get a mention. Two of the more important Floyd gigs were the 24 Hour Technicolour Dream at the the Ally Pally (Alexandra Palace), well I didn't get there but think they featured, and the free gig in Hyde Park not long before they brought out Saucerful of Secrets. Could some enthusiast please find verification? ...dave souza, talk 19:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * They should, and I've been meaning to get to this article, which is so far just cut-and-paste from the main Pink Floyd article while paring it down. According to the flyer in the photos section of Schaffner's bio, it was the "14 Hour Technicolor Dream" at Alexandra Palace, 8pm, Saturday, April 29, 1967. They are listed along with a couple dozen other bands in alphabetical order, and Floyd was the final act. He talks about it on pages 59-62. I don't have a direct citation offhand for the Hyde Park gig. - dharmabum 21:25, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response and the corrections: only 14 hours? I wish I'd hitched down to London for it. Too tied up in other projects to add to this article, and lost interest in Floyd about the Dark Side period, but will watch developments here with interest. ...dave souza, talk 10:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * May I just express my deep envy for someone who, while they may have missed the opportunity, had it in the first place, as I didn't enter the world until the Dark Side period was already a year old. :) Hey, at least I saw them three times between '88 and '94, more than many fans today can wish for. - dharmabum 10:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Can we mention the show where Frank Zappa joined them in Interstellar Overdrive? --70.21.51.190 21:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Semi Circular Screen???
"all projected onto a large semi-circular screen" The only semi-circular projection screen I am aware of was used in the Division Bell Tour. "Mr. Screen" being the circular screen was first introduced in the Dark Side of the Moon tour. Before that, the oil slides were projected onto the back wall of the venue. I've changed this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.112.43 (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Major Revamp
I've just done a major revamp of this article, organised it a bit better and included some pictures as well of details of backing musicians and major tours. I hope you like it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.123.112 (talk) 14:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Waters' v. Waters's
See discussion within main Pink Floyd article per Apostrophe. A judgement should be made when the possessive ends in a hard ('z'-sounding) 's'. For example: Dickens' novels (not Dickens's) or Holmes' cases (not Holmes's). 'Waters' falls into this category. Chris 42 21:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This isn't a question of sonority of consonant sounds (i.e. [s] vs. [z]) but a style preference. The rule-of-thumb is usually that names of people take the s's format, e.g. Dickens's, Holmes's, Waters's, but regular nouns take the s' format: strings', bows', arrows', etc. This is, of course, not a hard and fast rule and either are perfectly acceptable in modern English. – Dyolf87 (talk) 15:57, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

The Wall Live
There is also a section dedicated to the wall live in the the wall article. Should they be merged? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mastercheif (talk • contribs) 07:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

A Mis-link
Under Special Effects: vigilant Floydians should be aware that presumed lighting artist Mike Leonard appears to be, surprisingly, an American tv journalist. Perhaps another article is needed here? --Mashford 12:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Live 8!
Hi!

If you are see the Pink Floyd show at Live8, you can see a 2nd pianist/orgonist. Who is he (not "she", because the arm is to gross). Peda from hungarian wikipedia! --193.6.138.71 21:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Mirrorballs
Great page BTW.

I saw PF twice - once in the 70s when they were doing DSOM at Wembley - November 1974. One of the highlights was the use of the very special mirrorball. I think this came on at the end of the first set maybe at the end of Echoes.

Anyway it was visible throughout the first set but not used until the end. At first it looked like an ordinary mirroball only much bigger. But a few minutes after it had begun revolving it opened up to reveal various segments also covered in reflecting elements. I have never seen anything like it before or since. Everyone applauded... perhaps more so than for the new material they had played which I think was early versions of the WYWH album.

See:

video slideshow here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTwU2kl3X8

http://www.pinkfloydz.com/wembley74/d.htm for a photo of the mirrorball. This page also shows the dry ice which PF weren't the only ones to use of course.

Maybe this was also the gig series that had the NME slag off DG for looking slovenly and indifferent. This did not go down well and likely was another brick in The Wall [which I saw a few years later at Earls Court].

Finally, I wasn't there but I doubt they used a 'squadron of Spifires' at Knebworth - maybe just one. Unlikely there would be enough restored Spits at that time to make a up a squadron.

Looking it up on Google there is this page which refers to only two: http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/magazine/2006/09/knebworth.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by Royzee (talk • contribs) 20:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Images in the article?
Too sad to see no images with this article.. It would be great to have some new ones in there, because it really helps in understanding their live performances. I found some nice ones on commons I think;, , , , , ,. Only I have little understanding of their performances.. Maybe there is someone who would be able to place some images in correct places / overall in the article? --Løde (talk) 13:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * With the exception of #2, those are photos taken from Roger Waters solo concerts. Before adding an image found at random, you should check to make sure it was not loaded for a special non-free-use purpose, which would limit the articles it can be used in.  #2 is not used in any articles, and there is a note on the image stats that a source for the picture has not been entered correctly.  My advice is to contact the person who uploaded that picture, mention the source problem, and ask if they would be willing to add it to this article. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 22:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

References to "Unofficial recordings"
Not taking into account the legality of quoting from bootleg recordings of shows (or clips of them), they cannot possibly be taken as reliable sources by any stretch of the imagination. I've axed the correspondingly unsupported statements, though others are free to return them to the article if sources can be found for them. &mdash; Coren (talk) 01:29, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Cultural references section question
Back in late November 2011, anonIP user 173.228.123.51's single edit (diff) removed the following section:


 * ==Cultural references==
 * The band's lavish stage shows were the basis for Douglas Adams' fictional rock music group "Disaster Area" (creators of the loudest noise in the universe, and making use of solar flares in their stage show) in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Douglas Adams was a personal friend of David Gilmour and made a one-time guest appearance on guitar, on the Division Bell tour (28 October 1994), reportedly as a present for Adams's 42nd birthday. The LP's title The Division Bell was Douglas Adams' suggestion to Gilmour.

The paragraph, if genuine and not merely an inventive hoax, seems to have some validity and pertinence, whether it would properly belong here or in the Division Bell article(s). (A single line following it, also removed, seems to have been relatively negligible "In popular culture" trivia ["In a season 2 episode of I'm Alan Partridge, Alan says to his PA, Lynne, that he wishes to create a "condensed Pink Floyd light show for £500"."].)

I'm not a Pink Floyd or Douglas Adams specialist and can't judge whether or not that was a good edit, so I'm leaving it here for the attention of more knowledgable others. – Athaenara ✉  22:50, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
