Pink Floyd had moderate mainstream success and were one of the most popular bands in the London underground music scene in the late 1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett; however, Barrett's erratic behaviour eventually forced his colleagues to replace him with guitarist and singer David Gilmour. After Barrett's departure, singer and bass player Roger Waters gradually became the dominant and driving force in the mid-1970s, until his eventual departure from the group in 1985. The band recorded several albums, achieving worldwide success with The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979). In 1985, Waters declared Pink Floyd defunct, but the remaining members, led by Gilmour, sued Waters for rights to the name; they continued recording and touring as Pink Floyd and enjoyed commercial success with A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994), eventually reaching a settlement with Waters over the use of the name.

Waters performed with the band for the first time in 24 years on July 2, 2005 at the London Live 8 concert, playing to Pink Floyd's biggest audience ever.

+==Band history==
+===Syd Barrett–led era: 1964–1968===
+Pink Floyd evolved from an earlier rock band, formed in 1964 <ref>[http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/history1.html Pink Floyd online]</ref><ref>[http://www.infoplease.com/ipea/A0760733.html Infoplease]</ref>, which was at various times called [[Sigma 6]], the Meggadeaths, Tea Set and The Abdabs.  When the band split up, some members — guitarists [[Bob Klose|Rado "Bob" Klose]] and Matt Willmering, [[drummer]] [[Nick Mason]], and [[wind instrument]] player [[Richard Wright (musician)|Rick Wright]] — formed a new band called "Tea Set". After a brief stint with a lead vocalist named Chris Dennis,<ref>Mason, p. 21</ref> guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett joined the band, with Waters moving to bass.<ref>Schaffner, p. 25</ref>
-Un des noms originaux du groupe, T-Set, est abandonné après que le groupe se soit trouvé à l'affiche avec un autre groupe du même nom. Barrett propose sur le coup une alternative, The Pink Floyd Sound, une référence à deux musiciens de [[blues]], [[Pink Anderson]] et [[Floyd Council]]<ref name="InsideOut" />. Le ''Sound'' est vite abandonné. Propulsé au devant de la scène [[underground (société)|underground]] londonienne grâce à ses concerts à l'[[UFO Club]], le groupe développe des compositions principalement écrites par [[Syd Barrett]], mélange de [[rock psychédélique]] [[États-Unis|américain]], de [[whimsy]] britannique et d'un peu de blues, particulièrement dans les [[solo]]s de guitare.
+When Tea Set found themselves on the same bill as another band with the same name, Barrett came up with the alternative name '''The Pink Floyd Sound''', after two [[blues]] musicians, [[Pink Anderson]] and [[Floyd Council]].<ref>Mason, p. 30</ref><ref>[http://www.uncut.co.uk Uncut, September 2006, p. 54]</ref> For a time after this they oscillated between ''Tea Set'' and ''The Pink Floyd Sound'', with the latter name eventually winning out. The ''Sound'' was dropped fairly quickly, but [[The|the definite article]] was still used regularly until 1968.  The group's UK releases during the Syd Barrett era credited them as ''The'' Pink Floyd as did their first two U.S. singles. David Gilmour is known to have referred to the group as ''The'' Pink Floyd as late as 1984.<ref>Schaffner, p. 276</ref>
-Le groupe signe un contrat avec la maison de disques [[EMI Group|EMI]] en [[1967 en musique|1967]] et sort deux [[Single (musique)|single]]s, ''[[Arnold Layne]]'' en mars et ''[[See Emily Play]]'' en juin. ''Arnold Layne'' est banni des ondes radio pour ses paroles explicites, mais atteint quand même le top 20.

Barrett soon started writing his own songs, influenced by [[United States|American]] and [[United Kingdom|British]] psychedelic rock with his own brand of whimsical humour. Pink Floyd became a favourite in the [[underground culture|underground]] movement, playing at such prominent venues as the [[UFO Club|UFO club]], the [[Marquee Club]] and [[the Roundhouse]].
-Sorti en [[août 1967]], le premier album du groupe, ''[[The Piper at the Gates of Dawn]]'' (nom tiré d'un chapitre du ''[[Le Vent dans les Saules (roman)|Vent dans les Saules]]'' de [[Kenneth Grahame]]), est considéré comme un exemple typique de [[psyché folk]] britannique. L'album est un succès au [[Royaume-Uni]], mais pas aux États-Unis. À cette période, le groupe part en tournée avec [[Jimi Hendrix]], ce qui lui vaut une certaine notoriété.
+At the end of 1966 the band were invited to contribute music for [[Peter Whitehead (filmmaker)|Peter Whitehead]]'s film ''[[Tonite Let's All Make Love in London]]''; they were filmed recording two tracks ("[[Interstellar Overdrive]]" and "Nick's Boogie") in January 1967. Although hardly any of this music made it onto the film, the session was eventually released as ''[[London 1966/1967]]'' in 2005.
-En [[1968]], [[Syd Barrett]] souffre d'une [[dépression nerveuse]] attribuée notamment à l'usage prolongé de [[drogue]]s psychédéliques (essentiellement le [[LSD]]), à la pression de vie de groupe, aux enregistrements et aux tournées permanentes<ref>[http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,11913,804928,00.html The Observer]</ref>. Il s'avère également que Syd souffre depuis le début de [[schizophrénie]], qui se serait manifestée tardivement, peut-être déclenchée soudainement par la drogue et le stress. Ses performances scéniques se limitent à jouer la même note pendant toute la soirée. Le comportement de Barrett dans la vie courante est devenu imprévisible : il oublie où il se trouve, ne se rend pas aux concerts. Pendant un concert, en plein {{lang|en|''bad trip''}} d'acide, il arrache les cordes de sa guitare et s'enfuit en courant<ref>[http://www.bside-rock.com/Pink-Floyd-l-Odyssee.html?artsuite=1#sommaire_1 Article sur ''B-side Rock'']</ref>. Afin de permettre tout de même au groupe de jouer, les autres membres invitent le [[guitariste]] [[David Gilmour]], ami d'enfance de Barrett, à rejoindre le groupe afin de pouvoir assurer des spectacles. Gilmour doit prendre en charge les parties de guitare et de chant normalement assurées par Barrett. Pink Floyd joue ainsi à cinq pendant une très courte période, avant d'exclure définitivement Syd Barrett, devenu totalement incapable de jouer sur scène.
+As their popularity increased, the band members formed [[Blackhill Enterprises]] in October 1966, a six-way business partnership with their managers, [[Peter Jenner]] and Andrew King,<ref>Schaffner, p. 30</ref> issuing the singles "[[Arnold Layne]]" in March 1967 and "[[See Emily Play]]" in June 1967. "Arnold Layne" reached number 20 in the [[UK Singles Chart]], and "See Emily Play" reached number 6,<ref name="Schaffner 320-321">Schaffner, p. 320–321</ref> granting the band its first national TV appearance on ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' in July 1967. (They had earlier appeared, performing "Interstellar Overdrive" at the UFO Club, in a short documentary, "It's So Far Out It's Straight Down". This was broadcast in March 1967 but seen only in the UK's [[Granada Television|Granada]] TV region.)
-Alors que Barrett a écrit la majeure partie du premier disque, ''[[The Piper at the Gates of Dawn]]'', il contribue peu au second, ''[[A Saucerful of Secrets]]'', qui paraît en [[1968 en musique|1968]], forçant le groupe à prendre une nouvelle direction. Avec la perte de leur principal [[compositeur]] et fondateur, [[David Gilmour]] reste pour maintenir l'intégrité du groupe. Avec son arrivée, le son se durcit un peu.
+Released in August 1967, the band's debut album, ''[[The Piper at the Gates of Dawn]]'', is today considered to be a prime example of British [[psychedelic music]],<ref name="AMG Reviews">{{cite web | url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:5juk6j7h71t0~T2 | title=allmusic (((Pink Floyd > Discography > Main Albums))) | accessdate=2006-02-16}}</ref> and was generally well-received by critics at the time. It is now viewed as one of the best debut albums by many critics.<ref name="Rollingstone">''Rolling Stone'', [[26 October]] [[1968]]</ref> The album's tracks, predominantly written by Barrett, showcase poetic lyrics and an eclectic mixture of music, from the avant-garde free-form piece "[[Interstellar Overdrive]]" ({{audio-nohelp|Interstellar_Overdrive.ogg|sample}}) to whimsical songs such as "[[The Scarecrow (Pink Floyd song)|The Scarecrow]]", inspired by the [[The Fens|Fenlands]], a rural region north of [[Cambridge]] (Barrett, Gilmour and Waters's home town). Lyrics were entirely surreal and often referred to folklore, such as "[[The Gnome]]". The music reflected newer technologies in electronics through its prominent use of [[Panning (audio)|stereo panning]], tape editing, echo effects and electric keyboards. The album was a hit in the UK where it peaked at #6, but did not do well in North America, reaching #131 in the U.S.,<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co">[http://pinkfloyd-co.com/disco/disc_idx.html Pink Floyd & Co. discography], retrieved [[15 February]] [[2006]]</ref> and that only after it was reissued in the wake of the band's state side commercial breakthrough in the 1970s. During this period, the band toured with [[Jimi Hendrix]], which helped to increase its popularity.
-=== 1969-1972 : expérimentations musicales et envol du groupe ===
+====Barrett's decline====
+As the band became more popular, the stresses of life on the road and a significant intake of [[psychedelic drugs]] took their toll on Barrett, whose mental health had been deteriorating for several months. Barrett's strange behaviour has often been attributed to his drug use.<ref>''[http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,11913,804928,00.html The Observer]'', [[6 October]] [[2002]]</ref> In January 1968, guitarist David Gilmour joined the band to carry out Barrett's playing and singing duties, though evidently [[Jeff Beck]] was considered.<ref>{{cite web | last = Pinnell | first = B. | url = http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/interviews/djg/djgaust.html | accessdate = 2007-08-24 | date = 1980 | title = Australian Radio Interview, David Gilmour }}</ref><!-- This interview is probably done by Billy Pinnell at Triple M Melbourne -->
-En 1969, le groupe compose la [[More (album)|bande originale]] du film ''[[More (film)|More]]'' de [[Barbet Schroeder]]. Cette dernière se distingue par un son {{lang|en|acid folk}} et même [[heavy metal (musique)|heavy metal]] avec ''[[The Nile Song]]''.
+With Barrett's behaviour becoming less and less predictable, and his almost constant use of [[LSD]], he became very unstable, occasionally staring into space while the rest of the band performed. During some performances, he would just strum one chord for the duration of a concert, or randomly begin detuning his guitar.<ref>Schaffner, p. 105</ref> The band's live shows became increasingly ramshackle until, eventually, the other band members simply stopped taking him to the concerts. The last concert featuring Barrett was on [[January 20]] [[1968]] on [[Hastings]] [[Pier]].  It was originally hoped that Barrett would [[Songwriter|write]] for the band with Gilmour performing live, but Barrett's increasingly difficult compositions, such as [[Have You Got It, Yet?|"Have You Got It, Yet?"]], which changed melodies and [[chord progression]] with every take, eventually made the rest of the band give up on this arrangement.<ref name="Schaffner 107–108">Schaffner, p. 107–108</ref> Once Barrett's departure was formalised in April 1968, producers Jenner and King decided to remain with him, and the six-way Blackhill partnership was dissolved.<ref name="Schaffner 107–108" /> The band adopted [[Steve O'Rourke]] as manager, and he remained with Pink Floyd until his death in 2003.<ref>''[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2003%2F11%2F05%2Fdb0502.xml]'', [[11 April]] [[2003]]</ref>
-Le disque suivant, ''[[Ummagumma]]'' ([[1969 en musique|1969]]), est un mélange d'enregistrements de prestations scéniques et d'expérimentations avant-gardistes signées séparément par chacun des membres. Avec cet album, Pink Floyd s'écarte de ses prétentions underground pour un son rock un peu moins psychédélique et plus conventionnel confirmé dans les trois albums suivants.
+After recording two solo albums (''[[The Madcap Laughs]]'' and ''[[Barrett (album)|Barrett]]'') in 1970 (co-produced by and sometimes featuring Gilmour, Waters and Wright) to moderate success, Barrett went into seclusion. Again going by his given name, Roger, he lived a quiet life in his native Cambridge until his death on [[July 7]] [[2006]].
-''[[Atom Heart Mother]]'', sorti en [[1970 en musique|1970]], est un exemple d'album rock [[avant-garde]] avec la [[Atom Heart Mother (suite)|suite éponyme]] instrumentale longue de 23 minutes, à laquelle participe un orchestre classique, et une autre pièce instrumentale, ''[[Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast]]'', collage de sons d'un petit déjeuner (pris par [[Alan Stiles]], un ''roadie'' du groupe) entrecoupés de courts passages musicaux. [[Stanley Kubrick]] aurait demandé à [[Roger Waters]] la permission d'utiliser ''Atom Heart Mother'' pour son film ''[[Orange mécanique]]'' ([[1971 au cinéma|1971]]). Cependant, cette permission lui fut refusée, car le groupe considérait que, sortie de son contexte, la musique n'aurait aucun sens. Le groupe aurait par la suite regretté cette décision après avoir visionné l'œuvre de Kubrick. Au même moment, ils participent à la musique du film ''[[Zabriskie Point (album)|Zabriskie Point]]'' de [[Michelangelo Antonioni]] sorti en {{date||février|1970}}. Malgré une certaine insatisfaction du réalisateur, qui ne garde finalement que quelques morceaux proposés par le groupe, la thématique et l'esthétique du film correspondent tout à fait à ce que Pink Floyd faisait à l'époque.
+===Finding their feet: 1968–1970===
+This period was one of musical experimentation for the band. Gilmour, Waters and Wright each contributed material that had its own voice and sound, giving this material less consistency than the Barrett-dominated early years or the more polished, collaborative sound of later years. As Barrett had been the [[lead singer]] during his era, Gilmour, Waters and Wright now split both songwriting and lead vocal duties. Waters mostly wrote low-key, jazzy melodies with dominant [[bass line]]s and complex, [[symbolic]] lyrics, Gilmour focused on guitar-driven blues [[jam (music)|jam]]s, and Wright preferred melodic psychedelic keyboard-heavy numbers. Unlike Waters, Gilmour and Wright preferred tracks that had simple lyrics or that were purely instrumental. Some of the band's most [[experimental music]] is from this period, such as "[[A Saucerful of Secrets (song)|A Saucerful of Secrets]]", consisting largely of noises, feedback, percussions, oscillators and [[tape loop]]s, and "[[Careful with That Axe, Eugene]]" (which went by a number of other names as well), a very Waters-driven song with a bass and keyboard-heavy jam culminating in crashing drums and Waters' primal screams.
-Sorti en [[1971 en musique|1971]], ''[[Meddle]]'' est probablement l'album qui a consacré Pink Floyd comme un des groupes majeurs de l'époque grâce à ''[[One of These Days]]'', devenu un classique de leurs concerts, et surtout ''[[Echoes (chanson)|Echoes]]'', un titre long de 23 minutes. Une légende persistante veut que ''Echoes'', dernier morceau de ''[[Meddle]]'', soit synchronisé avec la dernière section du film ''[[2001, l'odyssée de l'espace]]'' réalisé par Stanley Kubrick, sorti trois ans plus tôt. Par ailleurs, c'est ''Meddle'' qui définit le son de Pink Floyd comme ''[[Rock progressif|progressif]]'', c'est-à-dire de longues pièces complexes et souvent divisées en plusieurs mouvements.
+Whilst Barrett had written the bulk of the first album, only one composition by him, "[[Jugband Blues]]", appeared on the second Floyd album. Barrett also played on the songs "Remember A Day" (recorded during the sessions for ''Piper'') and "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun". ''[[A Saucerful of Secrets]]'' was released in June 1968, reaching #9 in the UK and becoming the only Pink Floyd album not to chart in the U.S.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> Somewhat uneven due to Barrett's departure, the album still contained much of his psychedelic sound combined with the more experimental music that would be fully showcased on ''[[Ummagumma]]''. Its centrepiece, the 12-minute title track, hinted at the epic, lengthy songs to come, but the album was poorly received by critics at the time,<ref name="Rollingstone" /> although critics today tend to be kinder to the album in the context of their body of work.<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> Future Pink Floyd albums would expand upon the idea of long, sprawling compositions, offering more focused songwriting with each subsequent release.
-Finalement, ''[[Obscured by Clouds]]'' ([[1972 en musique|1972]]), bande sonore pour un nouveau film de Barbet Schroeder, ''[[La Vallée (film)|La Vallée]]'', confirme la voie empruntée par le groupe. Cette même année, le groupe tourne [[Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii|un concert]] à [[Pompéi]] en [[Italie]], qui détonne par son absence totale de public : le groupe joue seul au milieu des ruines de la cité romaine. Pour beaucoup, ce concert, sorti en salles de cinéma en [[1972 au cinéma|1972]], est le type même du "son Pink Floyd", progressif et planant. Lors de ce concert, le groupe fera "chanter" un chien en jouant très probablement sur la sensibilité acoustique des chiens aux saturations d'une harmonica (dans le cas présent). Le passage reste musicalement curieux.
+Pink Floyd were then recruited by director [[Barbet Schroeder]] to produce a soundtrack for his film, ''[[More (film)|More]]'', which was premièred in May 1969. The music was released as a Floyd album in its own right, ''[[Music From the Film More]]'', in July 1969; the album achieved another #9 finish in the UK, and peaked at #153 in the U.S.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> Critics tend to find the collection of the film's music patchy and uneven.<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> The band would use this and future soundtrack recording sessions to produce work that may not have fit into the idea of what would appear on a proper Pink Floyd LP; many of the tracks on ''More'' (as fans usually call it) were acoustic [[folk music|folk]] songs. Two of these songs, "[[Green Is the Colour]]" and "[[Cymbaline]]", became fixtures in the band's live sets for a time and were a part of their live ''[[The Man and the Journey|The Man/The Journey]]'' suite, as can be heard in the many available [[bootleg recording]]s from this period. "Cymbaline" was also the first Pink Floyd song to deal with Roger Waters' cynical attitude toward the music industry explicitly. The rest of the album consisted of avant-garde incidental pieces from the score (some of which were also part of ''The Man/The Journey'') with a few heavier rock songs thrown in, such as "[[The Nile Song]]".
-=== 1973-1977 : les années glorieuses ===
+The next record, the double album ''Ummagumma'', was a mix of live recordings and unchecked studio experimentation by the band members, with each member recording half a side of a vinyl record as a solo project (Mason's first wife makes an uncredited contribution as a [[flautist]]).<ref>Schaffner, p. 146</ref> Though the album was realised as solo outings and a live set, it was originally intended as a purely avant-garde mixture of sounds from "found" instruments. The subsequent difficulties in recording and lack of group organization led to the shelving of the project. The title is Cambridge slang for sexual intercourse<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artist/mwdp/ BBC Music profile], retrieved [[25 November]] [[2006]]</ref> and reflects the attitude of the band at the time, as frustrations in the studio followed them throughout these sessions. The band was wildly experimental on the studio disc, which featured Waters' pure folk "[[Grantchester Meadows (song)|Grantchester Meadows]]", an atonal & jarring piano piece ("[[Sysyphus]]"), meandering progressive rock textures ("[[The Narrow Way, parts 1-3|The Narrow Way]]") and large percussion solos ("[[The Grand Vizier's Garden Party]]"). "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" is a five-minute song composed entirely of Roger Water's voice played at varied speeds, resulting in a noise resembling rodents and birds. Large portions of the studio disc were previously played in their live ''The Man/The Journey'' concept piece. The live disc featured acclaimed performances of some of their most popular psychedelic-era compositions and caused critics to receive the album more positively than the previous two albums.<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> The album was Pink Floyd's most popular release yet, hitting UK #5 and making the U.S. charts at #74.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" />
-[[Image:Dispersion prism.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Le fameux prisme de la pochette de l'album ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]''.]]
+'s ''[[Atom Heart Mother]]'', the band's first recording with an orchestra, was a collaboration with avant-garde composer [[Ron Geesin]].  One side of the album consisted of the [[Atom Heart Mother (suite)|title piece]], a 23-minute long "[[symphonic rock|rock-orchestral]]" suite.  The second side featured one song from each of the band's then-current vocalists (Roger Waters' folk-rock "[[If (Pink Floyd song)|If]]", David Gilmour's bluesy "[[Fat Old Sun]]" and Rick Wright's nostalgic "[[Summer '68]]").  Another lengthy piece, "[[Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast]]", was a [[sound collage]] of a man cooking and eating breakfast and his thoughts on the matter, linked with instrumentals. The use of noises, incidental [[sound effect]]s and voice samples would thereafter be an important part of the band's sound. While ''Atom Heart Mother'' was considered a huge step back for the band at the time<ref>''Rolling Stone,'' [[2 December]] [[1970]]</ref> and is still considered one of its most inaccessible albums,<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> it had the best chart performance for the band up to that time, reaching #1 in the UK and #55 in the U.S.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> It has since been described by Gilmour as "a load of rubbish" and Waters has said he wouldn't mind if it were "thrown in the dustbin and never listened to by anyone ever again."<ref>Schaffner, p. 154</ref> The album was another transitional piece for the group, hinting at future musical territory such as "Echoes" in its ambitious title track. The popularity of the album allowed Pink Floyd to embark on its first full U.S. tour.
-[[David Gilmour]] réfute les accusations de tentations commerciales lorsque l'album ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'' connaît un succès massif en [[1973 en musique|1973]], notamment grâce au titre ''[[Money]]''. Cet album reste dans le Top 200 américain pendant plus de quatorze ans (jusqu'en 1987), battant de nombreux records. C'est le troisième album le plus vendu de tous les temps avec 35 millions d'exemplaires. Sa pochette, œuvre d'[[Hipgnosis]], la firme graphique de [[Storm Thorgerson]], ami du groupe qui a réalisé les pochettes des albums précédents, représentant la réfraction de la lumière au travers d'un prisme, est restée célèbre. ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' est un [[album-concept]] dont les thèmes dominants sont la [[vieillesse]] (''[[Time (chanson)|Time]]''), la [[folie]] (''[[Brain Damage (chanson)|Brain Damage]]'') et la [[mort]] (''[[Us and Them]]''). C'est un album techniquement très élaboré, avec l'utilisation d'un nouvel enregistreur 16 pistes aux [[studios Abbey Road]], le talent de l'[[ingénieur du son]] et [[producteur de musique|producteur]] [[Alan Parsons]], les titres sont méticuleusement enchaînés, la guitare de [[David Gilmour]] est envoûtante ; [[Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)|Richard Wright]] joue de ses [[synthétiseur]]s de manière tellement innovante qu'elle va donner l'exemple à tout un courant musical, en [[Allemagne]] surtout. À partir de cet album, [[Roger Waters]] émerge comme unique parolier du groupe, bien qu'il ait écrit la majorité des titres des albums précédents.
-''The Dark Side of the Moon'' et les trois albums suivants (''[[Wish You Were Here]]'', ''[[Animals]]'' et ''[[The Wall]]'') sont souvent considérés comme les plus aboutis de la carrière de Pink Floyd.
-Après le succès remporté par ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', le groupe ne trouve plus d'inspirations. Il se lance donc, fin 1973, dans des sessions pour un nouvel album qui ne contiendrait aucun instrument conventionnel, les sessions du ''[[The Household Objects|Household Project]]''. Le projet ne mène à rien et le groupe l'abandonne. Des tensions commencent à émerger lors de l'enregistrement de ''[[Wish You Were Here (album)|Wish You Were Here]]'' ([[1975 en musique|1975]]), qui auraient pu conduire à la dissolution du groupe, mais les efforts des membres génèrent un album touchant. Le morceau principal, ''[[Shine On You Crazy Diamond]]'' est un long hommage à [[Syd Barrett]] dont l'esprit semble continuer à hanter le groupe. ''[[Welcome to the Machine]]'' et ''[[Have a Cigar]]'' sont des critiques acerbes de l'industrie du disque, tenue pour responsable de la déchéance de Barrett. La [[Wish You Were Here (chanson)|chanson-titre]], ode acoustique aux absents, conclut en quelque sorte l'album, enchaînant avec la seconde partie de ''Shine On''. Pendant l'enregistrement de cet album, Syd est apparu dans le studio. Les membres du groupe ne l'ont initialement pas reconnu tant il avait changé<ref>[http://www.geocities.com/julienindica/syd3.html Une histoire de Syd Barrett]</ref>{{,}}<ref name="InsideOut" />.
+Before releasing its next original album, the band released a compilation album, ''[[Relics (Pink Floyd album)|Relics]],'' which contained several early singles and [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]], along with one original song (Waters' jazzy "[[Biding My Time]]", part of ''The Man/The Journey'' recorded during the ''Ummagumma'' sessions). They also contributed to the soundtrack of ''[[Zabriskie Point (film)|Zabriskie Point]]'', though many of their contributions were eventually discarded by director [[Michelangelo Antonioni]].
-[[Image:Pink Floyd Pig.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Après ''Animals'', les cochons gonflables sont devenus un élément remarqué des concerts du groupe, ainsi que de Roger Waters en solo (ici, en 2007).]]
+===Breakthrough era: 1971–1975===
+<!--  Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Pink Floyd classic.jpg||thumb|250px|left|Classic Pink Floyd line-up, early 70s. From left to right: Wright, Gilmour, Mason, Waters.{{deletable image-caption}}]] -->
+During this time, Pink Floyd shed their association with the "psychedelic" scene and became a distinctive band who are difficult to classify. The divergent styles of their primary songwriters, Gilmour, Waters and Wright, merged into a unique sound. This era contains what many consider to be two of the band's masterpiece albums, ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'' and ''[[Wish You Were Here]]''. The sound became polished and collaborative, with the philosophic lyrics and distinctive bass lines of Waters combining with the unique blues guitar style of Gilmour and Wright's haunting keyboard melodies and harmonic textures. Gilmour was the dominant vocalist throughout this period, and female choirs and [[Dick Parry]]'s saxophone contributions became a notable part of the band's style. The sometimes atonal and harsh sound exhibited in the band's earlier years gave way to a very smooth, mellow and soothing sound, and the band's epic, lengthy compositions reached their zenith with "Echoes". This period was not only the beginning but the end of the truly collaborative era of the band; after 1973 Waters' influence became more dominant musically as well as lyrically. Wright's last credited composition and last lead vocal on a [[studio album]] until 1994's ''The Division Bell'' were in this period ("[[Shine On You Crazy Diamond]]" and "[[Time (Pink Floyd song)|Time]]" respectively), and Gilmour's writing credits sharply declined in frequency until Waters left the band in 1985, though he continued to perform lead vocals and write songs throughout the whole time. The last ties with Barrett were severed in musical, as well as literal, fashion with ''Wish You Were Here'', whose epic track "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was written both as a tribute and eulogy to Barrett.
-En [[1977 en musique|1977]], avec l'enregistrement de l'album ''[[Animals]]'', le groupe est de plus en plus critiqué et stigmatisé par le courant [[punk]] pour qui il symbolise l'avachissement et la prétention du rock bien loin de la simplicité des débuts du [[rock 'n' roll]]. La guitare a cependant une influence nettement plus importante sur cet album que sur ses prédécesseurs. Il contient de longs morceaux liés par un thème commun, emprunté en partie à ''[[La Ferme des animaux]]'' de l'écrivain [[George Orwell]], où les cochons (''[[Pigs on the Wing]]'', ''[[Pigs (Three Different Ones)]]''), les chiens (''[[Dogs (chanson)|Dogs]]'') et les moutons (''[[Sheep]]'') sont une métaphore de la société contemporaine. La pochette de l'album représente la [[Battersea Power Station]] survolée par un énorme cochon commandé pour l'occasion à une fabrique hollandaise de [[zeppelin]]s. Le fil reliant le cochon au sol ayant cédé, le ballon s'envole et est finalement retrouvé dans un champ près de [[Cantorbéry|Canterbury]]. La pochette de certaines éditions de l'album contient d'ailleurs des copies de coupures de presse expliquant que la [[Royal Air Force]] est intervenue pour intercepter « le cochon volant ». Ledit [[Cochons de Pink Floyd|cochon gonflable]] devient par la suite un élément récurrent des concerts du groupe, parfois adapté aux circonstances. Ainsi, les cochons de la tournée qui suit ''[[The Wall]]'' sont noirs et arborent l'emblème des marteaux croisés sur le flanc.
+The band's sound was considerably more focused on ''[[Meddle]]'' (1971), with the 23-minute epic "[[Echoes (Pink Floyd song)|Echoes]]" taking up the second side of the LP. "Echoes" is a smooth progressive rock song with extended guitar and keyboard solos and a long segue in the middle consisting largely of synthesised music produced on guitars, organs, and synths, along with backward wah pedal guitar sounding like samples of crows cawing, described by Waters as a "sonic poem".<ref>Schaffner, p. 164</ref> ''Meddle'' was considered by Nick Mason to be "the first real Pink Floyd album. It introduced the idea of a theme that can be returned to."<ref>''BBC..Later with Jools Holland'', transcript retrieved [http://www.pink-floyd.org/artint/nmbbcj.htm here] [[16 April]] [[2006]]</ref> The album had the sound and style of the succeeding breakthrough-era Pink Floyd albums but stripped away the orchestra that was prominent in ''Atom Heart Mother''.<ref>Schaffner, p. 163</ref> ''Meddle'' also included the atmospheric "[[One of These Days]]", a concert favourite featuring Nick Mason's menacing one-line vocal ("One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces"), distorted and bluesy [[lap steel guitar]], and a melody that at one point fades into a throbbing synthetic pulse quoting the theme tune of the cult classic [[science fiction]] television show ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The mellow feeling of the next three albums is very present on "[[Fearless (song)|Fearless]]", and this track displays a folk influence, as does the prominent [[lap steel]] guitar on "[[A Pillow of Winds]]". The latter track is one of the Floyd's very few [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic]] love songs. Waters' role as lead songwriter began to take form, with his jazzy "[[San Tropez (song)|San Tropez]]" brought to the band practically completed. ''Meddle'' was greeted both by critics<ref>''Rolling Stone'', [[6 January]] [[1972]]</ref> and fans enthusiastically, and Pink Floyd were rewarded with a #3 album chart peak in the UK; it only reached #70 in U.S. charts.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> According to Nick Mason, this was partly because [[Capitol Records]] had not provided the album with enough publicity support in the U.S.<ref>Mason, p. 182</ref> Today, ''Meddle'' remains one of their most well-regarded efforts.<ref name="AMG Reviews" />
-Lors du concert de la tournée ''In the Flesh'' qui supportait l'album ''Animals'' à [[Montréal]] le {{date|6|juillet|1977|en musique}}, Roger Waters, rendu furieux par le comportement chahuteur du public, crache à la figure d'un spectateur particulièrement bruyant<ref>[http://cochonproduction.free.fr/dazibao/grouiiink/grouiiink/faq/faq06.html#06.08.04 Description des événements lors du spectacle]</ref>{{,}}<ref>Ce concert a été enregistré illégalement et est disponible en [[bootleg]] sous le titre ''Who Was Trained Not to Spit on the Fan''. Ce titre est une ligne des paroles de la chanson ''[[Dogs (chanson)]]'' et signifie « À qui l'on a appris à ne pas cracher vers le ventilateur », mais peut aussi prendre le sens de « À qui l'on a appris à ne pas cracher sur le fan » (''fan'' pouvant signifier également « ventilateur »).</ref>. Cet épisode lui inspire l'idée d'un artiste qui bâtirait un mur entre lui et son public, idée qui devient finalement l'album ''[[The Wall]]''<ref>[http://www.angelfire.com/va/battersea/spit.html Voir la fin de cet article]</ref>.
+''[[Obscured by Clouds]]'' was released in 1972 as the [[soundtrack]] to the film ''La Vallee'', another [[art film|art house film]] by Barbet Schroeder.  This was the band's first U.S. [[Top 50]] album (where it hit #46), hitting at #6 in the UK.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> While Mason described the album years later as "sensational,"<ref name="Schaffner 167">Schaffner, p. 167</ref> it is less well-regarded by critics.<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> The lyrics of "[[Free Four]]", the first Pink Floyd song to achieve significant airplay in the U.S., introduced Waters' ruminations on his father's death in World War II which would figure in subsequent albums. Two other songs on the album, "[[Wot's... Uh the Deal]]" and "[[Childhood's End (Pink Floyd song)|Childhood's End]]", also hint at themes used in later albums, the former focusing on loneliness and desperation which would come to full fruit in the Roger Waters-led era, and the latter hinting much at the next album, fixated on life, death and the passage of time. "Childhood's End", inspired by the [[Arthur C. Clarke]] [[Childhood's End|book of the same name]], was also Gilmour's last lyrical contribution for 15 years.<ref name="Schaffner 167" /> The album was, to an extent, stylistically different from the preceding ''Meddle'', with the songs generally being shorter, often taking a somewhat pastoral approach compared to the atmospheric use of sound effects and keyboard on sections of ''Meddle'', and sometimes even running into [[folk-rock]], [[blues-rock]] and [[piano]]-driven [[soft rock]] ("[[Burning Bridges (Pink Floyd song)|Burning Bridges]]", "[[The Gold It's in the...]]" and "[[Stay (Pink Floyd song)|Stay]]" being the best examples for each).
-=== 1978-1986 : la domination de [[Roger Waters]] ===
+The release of Pink Floyd's massively successful 1973 album, ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'', was a watershed moment in the band's popularity. Pink Floyd had stopped issuing singles after 1968's "[[Point Me at the Sky]]" and was never a hit-single-driven group, but ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' featured a U.S. Top 20 single ("[[Money (Pink Floyd song)|Money]]").<ref name="Schaffner 320-321" /> The album became the band's first #1 on U.S. charts<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> and, as of December 2006, is one of the biggest-selling albums in U.S. history, with more than 15 million units sold,<ref name="RIAA">[http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topalbums.asp], retrieved [[3 July]] [[2006]]</ref> and one of the [[List of best-selling albums worldwide|best-selling albums worldwide]], with more than 40 million  copies sold.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> The critically-acclaimed album stayed on the [[Billboard 200|Billboard Top 200]] for an unprecedented 741 weeks (including 591 consecutive weeks from 1976 to 1988),<ref name="Schaffner 183">Schaffner, p. 183</ref> establishing a world record. It also remained 301 weeks on UK charts, despite never rising higher than #2 there,<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> and is highly praised by critics.<ref>''Rolling Stone'', [[21 January]] [[1997]]</ref>
-[[Image:Roger_Waters_concert.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Roger Waters jouant ''[[In the Flesh (chanson)|In the Flesh]]'', un morceau de l'album ''[[The Wall]]''. Les marteaux croisés sur fond rouge et blanc sont un des symboles récurrents de l'album.]]
-À la fin de [[1978 en musique|1978]], Roger Waters présente aux membres du groupe deux projets d'albums : ''[[The Wall]]'' (dont les thèmes principaux sont le "mur" séparant l'artiste de ses fans et l'[[aliénation]] de l'individu par la [[Société (sciences sociales)|société]]) et ''[[The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking]]'' (qui décrit ses propres fantasmes). ''The Wall'' sera choisi, et le second sera enregistré en [[1984 en musique|1984]] en solo par Waters.
+Saxophone forms an important part of the album's sound, exposing the band's jazz influences (especially that of Rick Wright), and female backing vocals play a key role in helping to diversify the album's texture. For example, songs such as "Money" and "Time" are placed on either side of mellow lap steel guitar sounds (reminiscent of ''Meddle'') in "[[Breathe (Reprise)]]" and female vocal-laden song "[[The Great Gig in the Sky]]" (with [[Clare Torry]] on lead vocal), while minimalist instrumental "[[On the Run (Pink Floyd song)|On the Run]]"
+is performed almost entirely on a single synthesiser. Incidental sound effects and snippets of interviews feature alongside the music, many of them taped in the studio. Waters' interviews started out with questions like "What is your favourite colour?" in an attempt to get the person comfortable. He would then ask, "When was the last time you were violent? Were you in the right?" The latter answer was played on the album. Other interviews would ask, "Are you afraid of dying?" The album's lyrics and sound attempt to describe the different pressures that everyday life places upon human beings. This concept (conceived by Waters in a band meeting around Mason's kitchen table)<ref>Schaffner, p. 171</ref> proved a powerful catalyst for the band and together they drew up a list of themes, several of which would be revisited by Waters on later albums, such as "[[Us and Them]]"'s musings on violence and the futility of war, and the themes of [[insanity]] and [[neurosis]] discussed in "[[Brain Damage (song)|Brain Damage]]". The album's complicated and precise [[audio engineering|sound engineering]] by [[Alan Parsons]] set new standards for sound fidelity; this trait became a recognisable aspect of the band's sound and played a part in the lasting chart success of the album, as audiophiles constantly replaced their worn-out copies.<ref name="Schaffner 183" />
-La critique salue avec enthousiasme ''The Wall'' lorsque l'album sort en {{date||novembre|1979|en musique}}. Quelques phrases extraites des textes vont marquer les esprits, comme {{lang|en|''We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control''}} (« nous n'avons pas besoin d'éducation, nous n'avons pas besoin de gens qui pensent pour nous ») sur ''[[Another Brick in the Wall]] (Part 2)''. Il marque le début d'une collaboration entre le groupe, le compositeur [[Michael Kamen]] et le producteur [[Bob Ezrin]]. Cet album, prélude à une série de concerts dont la logistique est tellement lourde que la tournée ne couvrira que quatre lieux (immortalisée en [[2000 en musique|2000]] par la sortie d'un double album {{lang|en|live}} ''[[Is There Anybody out There? The Wall Live 1980-81|Is There Anybody Out There?]]''), témoigne de l'influence grandissante de Roger Waters. Les autres membres du groupe la subissent, et Richard Wright est finalement exclu par Waters durant les séances d'enregistrement de l'album, jouant toutefois comme musicien d'accompagnement lors de la tournée. Finalement, il sera mieux payé que les autres, car ces derniers débourseront de leur poche tout l'argent nécessaire pour les concerts.
+Seeking to capitalise on its new-found fame, the band also released a compilation album, ''[[A Nice Pair]]'', which was a [[gatefold]] repackaging of ''The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'' and ''A Saucerful of Secrets''. It was also during this period that director Adrian Maben released the first Pink Floyd [[concert film]], ''[[Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii|Live at Pompeii]]''. The original theatrical cut featured footage of the band performing in 1971 at an amphitheatre in [[Pompeii]] with no audience present except the film crew and stage staff. Maben also recorded interviews and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the band during recording sessions for ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' at [[Abbey Road Studios]]; although the timeline of events indicate the recording sessions may have been staged after the recording, they provide a glimpse into the processes involved in producing the album. This footage was incorporated in later video releases of ''Live at Pompeii''.
-Le film ''[[Pink Floyd The Wall|The Wall]]'', tiré de l'album éponyme et réalisé par [[Alan Parker]], sort en salles en [[1982 au cinéma|1982]], mettant en vedette [[Bob Geldof]] dans le rôle de Pink. Il a la particularité de ne contenir quasiment aucun dialogue conventionnel, laissant la place aux morceaux de l'album. Les scènes filmées alternent avec des animations de [[Gerald Scarfe]].
+After the success of ''Dark Side'', the band were unsure of their future direction and worried about how they would be able to top that record's huge popularity. In a return to their experimental beginnings, they began work on a project entitled [[Household Objects (Pink Floyd)|Household Objects]], which would consist of songs played literally on household appliances. Instruments consisted of old hand mixers, rubber bands stretched between two tables, wine glasses, etc. However, the planned album was soon shelved after the band decided that it was just easier and better to play the songs on actual musical instruments. No finished recordings of these sessions exist, however some of the recorded effects were put to use on their next album.
-En [[1983 en musique|1983]] sort l'album ''[[The Final Cut (album)|The Final Cut]]'', album sombre et atypique qui n'a d'album de Pink Floyd que le nom, puisqu'on peut lire sur la pochette que c'est une œuvre ''de Roger Waters, interprétée par Pink Floyd''. Waters, qui a pris de plus en plus d'importance dans le groupe, estime que celui-ci n'a plus vraiment de raison d'être. Ne pouvant dissoudre le groupe par contrat, il quitte Pink Floyd en 1986, en se disant que celui-ci ne survivra pas à son départ puisqu'il en était devenu la seule force créatrice.
+''Wish You Were Here'', released in 1975, carries an abstract theme of absence: absence of any humanity within the music industry and, most poignantly, the absence of Syd Barrett. Well-known for its popular [[Wish You Were Here (1975 song)|title track]], the album includes the largely instrumental, nine-part song suite "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a tribute to Barrett in which the lyrics deal explicitly with the aftermath of his breakdown. Many of the musical influences in the band's past were brought together — atmospheric keyboards, blues guitar pieces, extended saxophone solos (by Dick Parry), jazz-fusion workouts and aggressive [[slide guitar]] — in the suite's different linked parts, culminating in a funeral dirge played with synthesised horn and ending with a musical quote from their early single "See Emily Play" as a final nod to Barrett's early leadership of the band.<ref>Mason, p. 213</ref> The remaining tracks on the album, "[[Welcome to the Machine]]" and "[[Have a Cigar]]", harshly criticise the music industry; the latter is sung by British folk singer [[Roy Harper]]. It was the first Pink Floyd album to reach #1 on both the UK and the U.S. charts,<ref>Schaffner, p. 323</ref> and critics praise it just as enthusiastically as ''The Dark Side of the Moon''.<ref name="AMG Reviews" />
-=== 1987-1995 : David Gilmour prend les rênes ===
+In a famous anecdote, a heavyset man, his head and eyebrows completely shaved, wandered into the studio while the band was mixing "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". The band could not recognise him for some time, when suddenly one of them realised it was Syd Barrett. On being asked how he had put on so much weight, he retorted "I've got a big fridge in the kitchen and I've been eating a lot of pork chops".<ref>Miles, Pink Floyd unofficial biography </ref>
-Roger Waters se dit que le groupe ne vivra plus longtemps maintenant qu'il est parti, ce qui n'est pas l'avis de [[David Gilmour]] qui, en [[1986 en musique|1986]], décide de relancer le groupe avec [[Nick Mason]]. Des batailles juridiques s'engagent entre eux et Roger Waters, qui leur conteste le droit au nom du groupe sans sa présence. C'est pourtant sous le nom de Pink Floyd que le groupe sort en [[1987 en musique|1987]] l'album ''[[A Momentary Lapse of Reason]]'', ayant été entre-temps rejoint par [[Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)|Richard Wright]], officiellement réintégré après la tournée qui suivit l'album. Du fait de l'absence de Waters, principal parolier du groupe depuis une décennie, le groupe dut se faire épauler à l'écriture et à l'enregistrement par un certain nombre de musiciens externes, dont [[Tony Levin]], bassiste et [[violoncelliste]] de [[Peter Gabriel]], et Scott Page, [[saxophoniste]], guitariste et [[flûte|flûtiste]] entre autres du groupe [[Supertramp]] durant leur tournée de 1983 ainsi que sur l'album ''[[Brother Where You Bound]]'' ([[1985 en musique|1985]]), auquel avait participé David Gilmour. Ce dernier admit plus tard que les contributions de Nick Mason et de Richard Wright à cet album étaient des plus minimes, et bon nombre de critiques estiment que ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' devrait plutôt être considéré comme un album solo de Gilmour, tout comme ''The Final Cut'' pour Waters.
-C'est un groupe plus soudé qui sort ''[[The Division Bell (album)|The Division Bell]]'' en [[1994 en musique|1994]], sur lequel on notera à nouveau la participation de [[Michael Kamen]]. Cet album, que la critique préféra à son prédécesseur sans toutefois l'acclamer, est le prélude d'une gigantesque tournée mondiale, immortalisée par l'album ''[[P·U·L·S·E]]'' sorti en [[1995 en musique|1995]].
+In an interview for the 2001 BBC Omnibus documentary ''Syd Barrett:Crazy Diamond'' (later released on DVD as ''The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story''[http://www.otmoorproductions.com/home.htm]), the story is told in full. [[Rick Wright]] spoke about the session, saying: "One thing that really stands out in my mind, that I'll never forget; I was going in to the "Shine On" sessions. I went in the studio and I saw this guy sitting at the back of the studio, he was only as far away as you are from me. And I didn't recognise him. I said, 'Who's that guy behind you?' 'That's Syd.' And I just cracked up, I couldn't believe it... he had shaven all his hair off... I mean, his eyebrows, everything... he was jumping up and down brushing his teeth, it was awful. And, uh, I was in, I mean Roger was in tears, I think I was; we were both in tears. It was very shocking... seven years of no contact and then to walk in while we're actually doing that particular track. I don't know – coincidence, karma, fate, who knows? But it was very, very, very powerful". In the same documentary, [[Nick Mason]] stated: "When I think about it, I can still see his eyes, but... it was everything else that was different". In that same interview, Roger Waters has said: "I had no idea who he was for a very long time". David Gilmour stated: "None of us recognised him. Shaved...shaved bald head and very plump".

-=== Depuis 1995 : vers une reformation ? ===
+===Roger Waters–led era: 1976–1985===
+During this era, Waters asserted more and more control over Pink Floyd's output. Wright's influence became largely inconsequential, and he was fired from the band during the recording of ''The Wall''.<ref name="Wrights firing">Mason, p. 247</ref> Much of the music from this period is considered secondary to the lyrics, which explore Waters' feelings about his father's death in [[World War II]] and his increasingly cynical attitude towards political figures such as [[Margaret Thatcher]] and [[Mary Whitehouse]]. Although still finely nuanced, the music grew more guitar-based at the expense of keyboards and saxophone, both of which became (at best) part of the music's background texture along with the obligatory sound effects. A full orchestra (even larger than the brass ensemble from ''Atom Heart Mother'') plays a significant role on ''The Wall'' and especially ''The Final Cut''.
-[[Image:David_Gilmour_Pulse_Tour_2006.jpg|thumb|150px|right|David Gilmour dans le film ''[[P·U·L·S·E (film)|P·U·L·S·E]].]]
+By January 1977, and the release of ''Animals'' (UK #2, U.S. #3),<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> the band's music came under increasing criticism from some quarters in the new [[punk rock]] sphere as being too flabby and pretentious, having lost its way from the simplicity of early [[rock and roll]].<ref>Schaffner, p. 209</ref> ''Animals'' was, however, considerably more guitar-driven than the previous albums, due to either the influence of the burgeoning punk-rock movement or the fact that the album was recorded at Pink Floyd's new (and somewhat incomplete) [[Britannia Row Studios]]. The album was also the first to not have a single songwriting credit for Rick Wright. ''Animals'' again contained lengthy songs tied to a theme, this time taken in part from [[George Orwell]]'s ''[[Animal Farm]]'', which used "[[Pigs (Three Different Ones)|Pigs]]", "[[Dogs (song)|Dogs]]" and "[[Sheep (song)|Sheep]]" as metaphors for members of contemporary society. Despite the prominence of guitar, keyboards and synthesisers still play an important role on ''Animals'', but the saxophone and female vocal work that defined much of the previous two albums' sound is absent. The result is a more hard-rock effort overall, bookended by two parts of a quiet acoustic piece. Many critics did not respond well to the album, finding it "tedious" and "bleak,"<ref>''Rolling Stone'', [[24 March]] [[1977]]</ref> although some celebrated it for almost those very reasons.<ref name="AMG Reviews" /> For the cover artwork, a [[Pink Floyd pig|giant inflatable pig]] was commissioned to float between the chimney towers of London's [[Battersea Power Station]]. However, the wind made the pig balloon difficult to control,<ref>[http://www.batterseapowerstation.org.uk/floyd.html batterseapowerstation.org.uk], retrieved [[11 February]] [[2006]]</ref> and in the end it was necessary to [[Matte (filmmaking)|matte]] a photo of the pig balloon onto the album cover. The pig was created by Dutch [[industrial design]]er and artist Theo Botschuijver. The pig nevertheless became one of the enduring symbols of Pink Floyd, and inflatable pigs were a staple of [[Pink Floyd live performances]] from then on.

-Pink Floyd s'est reformé le temps d'un concert à l'occasion du [[Live 8]]  le [[2 juillet]] [[2005]] à [[Londres]], à [[Hyde Park]]. Le groupe était au complet, avec David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason et Richard Wright. Avant d'entamer ''[[Wish You Were Here (chanson)|Wish You Were Here]]'', Roger a rendu hommage à [[Syd Barrett]] :
+'s epic [[rock opera]] ''[[The Wall]]'', conceived by Waters, dealt with the themes of loneliness and failed communication, which were expressed by the metaphor of a wall built between a rock artist and his audience.  The deciding moment in which to conceive ''The Wall'' was during a concert in Montreal, Canada in which Roger Waters spat on an audience member as he attempted to climb up on stage — it was this point where Waters felt the alienation between audience and band.  This album gave Pink Floyd renewed acclaim and their only chart-topping single with "[[Another Brick in the Wall|Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)]]".<ref name="Schaffner 320-321" /> ''The Wall'' also included the future concert [[staples]] "[[Comfortably Numb]]" and "[[Run Like Hell]]", with the former in particular becoming a cornerstone of [[album-oriented rock]] and [[Classical rock|classic-rock]] radio playlists as well as one of the group's best-known songs.
+The album was co-produced by [[Bob Ezrin]], a friend of Waters who shared songwriting credits on "[[The Trial (song)|The Trial]]" and from whom Waters later distanced himself after Ezrin "shot his mouth off to the press."<ref>Schaffner, p. 243</ref> Even more than during the ''Animals'' sessions, Waters was asserting his artistic influence and leadership over the band, using the band's perilous financial situation to his advantage, which prompted increased conflicts with the other members. The music had become distinctly more hard-rock, although the large orchestrations on some tracks recalled an earlier period, and there are a few quieter songs interspersed throughout (such as "[[Goodbye Blue Sky]]", "[[Nobody Home]]", and "[[Vera (song)|Vera]]"). Wright's influence was completely minimised, and he was fired from the band during recording, only returning on a fixed wage for the live shows in support of the album. Ironically, Wright was the only member of Pink Floyd to make any money from the ''Wall'' concerts, which were only performed in several cities &mdash; including [[Dortmund]], [[London]], [[Los Angeles]], [[New York]] &mdash; over multiple nights, the rest covering the extensive cost overruns of their most spectacular concerts yet.<ref>Schaffner, p. 236</ref><ref name="Wrights firing" />

+However, in 1989, after the [[Berlin Wall]] came down in Germany, Roger Waters agreed to perform "The Wall" live in concert, at the site of the former Berlin Wall.
-Durant la semaine qui suivit, les albums du groupe connurent un regain de vente : selon la chaîne de magasins HMV, les ventes de ''[[Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd]]'' ont crû de 1343%<ref>[http://thinkfloyd.free.fr/interv_presse/floyd_liberation2005.htm Libération, 5 juillet 2005]</ref>, et [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] indique que les ventes de ''[[The Wall]]'' ont augmenté de 3600%, celles de ''[[Wish You Were Here (album)|Wish You Were Here]]'' de 2000%, celles de ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'' de 1400% et celles de ''[[Animals]]'' de 1000%. David Gilmour a déclaré par la suite qu'il reverserait la part des profits due à ce {{lang|en|''boom''}} des ventes à des œuvres de charité, et a incité les autres artistes ayant participé au concert à faire de même<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4651309.stm BBC News, 5 juillet 2005]</ref>.
+Despite never hitting #1 in the UK (it reached #3), ''The Wall'' spent 15 weeks atop the U.S. charts in 1980.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> Critics praised it,<ref>''Rolling Stone'', [[February 7]] [[1980]]</ref> and it has been certified 23x platinum by the RIAA, for sales of 11.5 million copies of the double album in the U.S. alone.<ref>[http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=tblTop100 RIAA]</ref> The huge commercial success of ''The Wall'' made Pink Floyd the only artists since the [[Beatles]] to have the best-selling albums of two years (1973 and 1980) in less than a decade.
-Des rumeurs d'une éventuelle reformation de Pink Floyd circulaient depuis le Live 8, mais elles semblaient infondées. C'est ce qu'a déclaré [[David Gilmour]] au quotidien italien {{lang|it|''[[La Repubblica]]''}}, alors que beaucoup de fans croyaient dur comme fer que Pink Floyd redonnerait des concerts avant la fin de l'année 2005 :
+A film entitled ''[[Pink Floyd The Wall (film)|Pink Floyd: The Wall]]'' was released in 1982, incorporating almost all of the music from the album. The film, written by Waters and directed by [[Alan Parker]], starred [[Boomtown Rats]] founder [[Bob Geldof]], who re-recorded many of the vocals, and featured animation by noted British artist and cartoonist [[Gerald Scarfe]]. Film critic [[Leonard Maltin]] referred to the movie as "the world's longest rock video, and certainly the most depressing", but it grossed over US$14 million at the North American box office.<ref>[http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/1982/0PFTW.html The Numbers], retrieved [[13 February]] [[2006]]</ref> A song which first appeared in the movie, "[[When the Tigers Broke Free]]", was released as a single on a limited basis. This song was finally made widely available on the [[compilation album]] ''[[Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd]]'' and the re-release of ''[[The Final Cut (album)|The Final Cut]]''. Also in the film is the song "[[What Shall We Do Now?]]", which was cut out of the original album due to the time constraints of [[gramophone records|vinyl records]]. The only songs from the album not used were "[[Hey You (Pink Floyd song)|Hey You]]" and "[[The Show Must Go On (Pink Floyd song)|The Show Must Go On]]."
-{{début citation}}Le groupe ? C'est terminé. On s'est juste réuni pour la bonne cause, mais franchement je n'en ai plus du tout envie... Et ça n'a rien à voir avec Roger Waters, parce que même sans lui je ne reformerai pas Pink Floyd. Jouer avec Pink Floyd demanderait trop de travail, et j'en ai marre des pressions.

+Their 1983 studio album, ''[[The Final Cut (album)|The Final Cut]]'', was dedicated by Waters to his father, [[Eric Fletcher Waters]]. Even darker in tone than ''The Wall'', this album re-examined many previous themes, while also addressing then-current events, including Waters' anger at Britain's participation in the [[Falklands War]], the blame for which he laid squarely at the feet of political leaders ("[[The Fletcher Memorial Home]]"). It concludes with a cynical and frightening glimpse at the possibility of [[nuclear war]] ("[[Two Suns in the Sunset]]"). [[Michael Kamen]] and [[Andy Bown]] contributed keyboard work in lieu of Richard Wright, whose departure had not been formally announced before the album's release.
-À noter que, selon le magazine ''[[Rock & Folk]]'' d'août 2006 (numéro 468), [[David Gilmour]] a invité Roger Waters pour son dernier concert de sa tournée ''[[On an Island]]'' à Londres. Selon [[Nick Mason]], « David a invité Roger au Royal Albert Hall, mais ce dernier répétait et ne pouvait se rendre disponible. »<ref name="InsideOut" />
+Though technically a Pink Floyd album, the LP's front cover displayed no words, only the back cover reading: "''The Final Cut'' — A requiem for the post-war dream by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason". Roger Waters received the sole songwriting credit for the entire record, which became a prototype in sound and form for later Waters solo projects. Waters has since said that he offered to release the record as a solo album, but the rest of the band rejected this idea. However, in his book ''Inside Out'', drummer Nick Mason says that no such discussions ever took place. Gilmour reportedly asked Waters to hold back the release of the album so that he could write enough material to contribute, but this request was refused. The music's tone is largely similar to ''The Wall'''s but somewhat quieter and softer, resembling songs like "Nobody Home" more than "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)." It is also more repetitive, with certain [[leitmotifs]] cropping up continually. Only moderately successful with fans by Floyd's standards (UK #1, U.S. #6),<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> but reasonably well-received by critics,<ref>''Rolling Stone'', [[14 April]] [[1983]]</ref> the album yielded one minor radio hit (albeit in bowdlerised form), "[[Not Now John]]", the only hard-rock song on the album (and the only one partially sung by Gilmour). The arguments between Waters and Gilmour at this stage were rumoured to be so bad that they were supposedly never seen in the recording studio simultaneously, and Gilmour's co-producer credit was dropped from the album sleeve (though he received attendant royalties).<ref>Schaffner, p. 257</ref> There was no tour for the album, although parts of it have since been performed live by Waters on his subsequent solo tours.
-Le [[31 mai]] [[2006]], lors du dernier concert de [[David Gilmour]] au Royal Albert Hall à Londres, il est rejoint par Nick Mason sur les deux titres finaux : ''[[Wish You Were Here (chanson)|Wish You Were Here]]'' et ''[[Comfortably Numb]]'', reconstituant le groupe pendant la période Gilmour le temps de deux morceaux. En effet, [[Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)|Richard Wright]] (ainsi que [[Jon Carin]] et [[Guy Pratt]]) faisaient partie du groupe de tournée de David.
+After ''The Final Cut'' Capitol Records released the compilation ''[[Works (Pink Floyd album)|Works]]'', which made the 1970 Waters track "Embryo" available for the first time on a Pink Floyd album, although the track had been released on the 1970 [[Various Artists|VA]] compilation ''[[Picnic (sampler album)|Picnic - A Breath of Fresh Air]]'' on the [[Harvest Records]] label.<ref>[http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=9560 Prog Archives.com discography], retrieved [[12 July]] [[2006]]</ref> The band members then went their separate ways and spent time working on individual projects. Gilmour was the first to release his solo album ''[[About Face (album)|About Face]]'' in March 1984. Wright joined forces with Dave Harris of [[Fashion (band)|Fashion]] to form a new band, [[Zee (band)|Zee]], which released the experimental album ''[[Identity (album)|Identity]]'' a month after Gilmour's project. In May 1984, Waters released ''[[The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking]]'', a [[concept album]] once proposed as a Pink Floyd project.  Waters had written this at the same time as ''The Wall'' and during proposal of both, the band selected ''The Wall''.  A year after his bandmates' projects, Mason released the album ''[[Profiles]]'', a collaboration with Rick Fenn of [[10cc]] which featured guest appearances by Gilmour and [[UFO (band)|UFO]] keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

+===David Gilmour–led era: 1987–1995===
+Waters announced in December 1985 that he was departing Pink Floyd, describing the band as "a spent force creatively", but in 1986 Gilmour and Mason began recording a new Pink Floyd album. At the same time, Roger Waters was working on his second solo album, entitled ''[[Radio K.A.O.S.]]'' (1987). A bitter legal dispute ensued with Waters claiming that the name "Pink Floyd" should have been put to rest, but Gilmour and Mason upheld their conviction that they had the legal right to continue as "Pink Floyd." The suit was eventually settled out of court.<ref>Schaffner, p. 297</ref>
-Le [[10 mai]] [[2007]], [[Roger Waters]] a participé au concert hommage à [[Syd Barrett]] au Barbican Centre de Londres. Plus tard dans la soirée furent annoncés « Rick Wright, David Gilmour, Nick Mason ». Pink Floyd était donc de nouveau réuni sur scène pour interpréter ''[[Arnold Layne]]'' suivi de la participation de tous les artistes de la soirée pour ''[[Bike]]''. Fait notable, [[Roger Waters]] n'était présent sur aucun de ces deux titres, et il fut le seul à ne pas participer au final.
+After considering and rejecting many other titles, the new album was released as ''[[A Momentary Lapse of Reason]]'' (UK #3, U.S. #3).<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> Without Waters, who had been the band's dominant songwriter for a decade, the band sought the help of outside writers. As Pink Floyd had never done this before (except for the orchestral contributions of Geesin and Ezrin), this move received much criticism. Ezrin, who had renewed his friendship with Gilmour in 1983 (as Ezrin co-produced Gilmour's ''About Face'' album), served as co-producer as well as being one of these writers along with [[Jon Carin]] who wrote the music for "Learning To Fly" and played much of the Keyboards on the album.<ref>Schaffner, p. 289</ref> Wright also returned, at first as a salaried employee during the final recording sessions, and then officially rejoining the band after the subsequent tour.
-== Anecdotes ==
+Gilmour later admitted that Mason and Wright had hardly played on the album. Because of Mason and Wright's limited contributions, some critics say that ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' should really be regarded as a Gilmour solo effort, in much the same way that ''The Final Cut'' might be regarded as a Waters album.<ref name="AMG Reviews" />

-== Composition du groupe ==
+A year later, the band released a double live album and a concert video taken from its 1988 [[Long Island]] shows, entitled ''[[Delicate Sound of Thunder]]'', and later recorded some instrumentals for a classic-car racing film ''[[La Carrera Panamericana]]'', set in Mexico and featuring Gilmour and Mason as participating drivers. During the race Gilmour and manager Steve O'Rourke (acting as his map-reader) crashed. O'Rourke suffered a broken leg, but Gilmour walked away with just some bruises. The instrumentals are notable for including the first Floyd material co-written by Wright since 1975, as well as the only Floyd material co-written by Mason since ''Dark Side of the Moon''.
+saw the [[box set]] release of ''[[Shine On (Pink Floyd)|Shine On]]''.  The 9-disc set included re-releases of the studio albums ''A Saucerful of Secrets'', ''Meddle'', ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', ''Wish You Were Here'', ''Animals'', ''The Wall'', and ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason''.  A bonus disc entitled ''[[The Early Singles]]'' was also included.  The set's packaging featured a case allowing the albums to stand vertically together, with the side-by-side spines displaying an image of the ''Dark Side of the Moon'' cover. The circular text of each CD includes the almost illegible words "The Big Bong Theory". The year also saw the release of Roger Waters' solo album ''[[Amused to Death]]''.
+The band's next recording was the 1994 release, ''[[The Division Bell]]'', which was much more of a group effort than ''Momentary Lapse'' had been, with Wright now reinstated as a full band member. The album was received more favourably by critics and fans alike than ''Lapse'' had been,<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:4z320r8ar48b AMG], retrieved [[February 15]] [[2006]]</ref> but was still heavily criticised as tired and formulaic.<ref>Rolling Stone, [[June 16]] [[1994]]</ref> It was the second Pink Floyd album to reach #1 on both the UK and U.S. charts.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" />
+''The Division Bell'' was another concept album, in some ways representing Gilmour's take on the same themes Waters had tackled with ''The Wall''. The title was suggested to Gilmour by his friend [[Douglas Adams]]. Many of the lyrics were co-written by [[Polly Samson]], Gilmour's girlfriend at the time, whom he married shortly after the album's release. Besides Samson, the album featured most of the musicians who had joined the ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' tour, as well as saxophonist Dick Parry, a contributor to the mid-70s Floyd albums. Anthony Moore, who had co-written the lyrics for several songs on the previous album, penned the tune by Guy Pratt "Wearing the Inside Out", Wright's first lead vocal on a Pink Floyd record since ''Dark Side of the Moon''. Moore's writing continued on nearly every song on Wright's 1996 solo album, ''[[Broken China]]''.
+The band released a live album entitled ''[[P*U*L*S*E]]'' in 1995. It hit #1 in U.S. and featured songs recorded during the "Division Bell" tour from concerts in Londons Earl Court. The Division Bell concerts featured a mix of classic and modern Pink Floyd. The Pulse album has an entire performance of ''The Dark Side of the Moon''.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" /> The Earls Court concert would mark the first time the band performed ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' in its entirety in over two decades.  VHS and Laserdisc versions of the concert at London's [[Earls Court Exhibition Centre|Earl's Court]] [[20 October]] [[1994]], was also released. A [[P*U*L*S*E (film)|DVD edition]] was released on [[10 July]] [[2006]]<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0007QS1VW Amazon.co.uk], retrieved [[4 July]] [[2006]]</ref> and quickly topped the charts. The 1994 CD case had an [[Light-emitting diode|LED]], timer [[Integrated circuit|IC]], and battery which caused a red flash to blink once per second, like a heartbeat, as it sat in the owner's CD collection.
+Furthermore, in 1995, the band received their first and only [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance|Best Rock Instrumental Performance]] for "[[Marooned (song)|Marooned]]".
+===Solo work and more: 1995–present===
+On [[January 17]], [[1996]], the band was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]]<ref name="R&R Hall of Fame">[http://www.rockhall.com/hof/inductee.asp?id=168 Official Article]</ref> by [[The Smashing Pumpkins]] frontman [[Billy Corgan]]. Roger Waters did not attend, still being antagonistic towards his former bandmates. At their acceptance speech, Gilmour said, "I'll have to grab a couple more of these for our two band members that started playing different tunes; Roger and Syd...". Although Mason was present to accept the award, he did not join Gilmour and Wright (and Billy Corgan) for their acoustic performance of 'Wish You Were Here'.
+A live recording of ''The Wall'' was released in 2000, compiled from the 1980–1981 London concerts, entitled ''[[Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980–81]]''. It reached #19 on the American album chart. In 2001, a remastered two-disc set of the band's best-known tracks entitled ''[[Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd|Echoes]]'' was released. Gilmour, Mason, Waters and Wright all collaborated on the editing, sequencing, and song selection of the included tracks. Minor controversy was caused due to the songs seguing into one another non-chronologically, presenting the material out of the context of the original albums. Some of the tracks, such as "Echoes", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Sheep", "Marooned", and "[[High Hopes (Pink Floyd song)|High Hopes]]" have had substantial sections removed from them. The album reached #2 on the UK and U.S. charts.<ref name="Pink Floyd & Co" />
+In 2003, an [[Super Audio CD|SACD]] reissue of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' was released with new artwork on the front cover. The album was also re-released as an 180 gram, virgin vinyl pressing in 2003, which included all the original album art from the original release of the album, albeit with a new poster. The reissue of ''Wish You Were Here'' is in the works, with no release date announced.<ref>[http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/news/0507202.html brain-damage.co.uk], [[20 July]] [[2005]], retrieved [[10 July]] [[2006]]</ref> Nick Mason's book, ''[[Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd]]'' was published in 2004 in Europe and 2005 in the U.S. Mason made public promotional appearances in a few European and American cities, giving interviews and meeting fans at book signings.  Some fans claimed that he said he wished he were on a tour with the band rather than on a book tour.
+Long-time Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke died on [[October 30]], [[2003]]. Gilmour, Mason and Wright reunited at his funeral and performed "Fat Old Sun" and "The Great Gig in the Sky" at the [[Chichester Cathedral]] in tribute.<ref>[http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/news/?y=03&id=111501 neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk], [[13 November]] [[2003]], retrieved [[5 July]] [[2007]]</ref>
+Two years later, on [[July 2]], [[2005]], the band reunited once again for a one-off performance at the London Live 8 concert. This time, however, they were joined by Waters - the first time all four band members were on stage together in 24 years. The band performed a four-song set consisting of "[[Speak to Me]]/[[Breathe (Pink Floyd song)|Breathe]]/Breathe (Reprise)", "[[Money (song)|Money]]", "[[Wish You Were Here (song)|Wish You Were Here]]", and "[[Comfortably Numb]]", with both Gilmour and Waters sharing lead vocals. At the end of their performance Gilmour said "thank you very much, good night" and started to walk off the stage. Waters called him back, however, and the band shared a group hug that became one of the most famous images of Live 8.
+In the week after [[Live 8]], there was a revival of interest in Pink Floyd. According to record store chain [[HMV]], sales of ''Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd'' went up, in the following week, by 1343%, while [[Amazon.com]] reported increases in sales of ''The Wall'' at 3600%, ''Wish You Were Here'' at 2000%, ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' at 1400% and ''Animals'' at 1000%. David Gilmour subsequently declared that he would donate his share of profits from this sales boom to charity,<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4651309.stm Donate Live 8 profit says Gilmour] BBC News, [[5 July]] [[2005]]. Accessed [[2007-04-07]].</ref> and urged all the other artists and [[Record industry|record companies]] profiting from Live 8 to do the same. On [[November 16]], [[2005]] Pink Floyd were inducted into the [[UK Music Hall of Fame]] by [[Pete Townshend]]. Gilmour and Mason attended in person, explaining that Wright was in hospital following eye surgery, and Waters appeared on a video screen, from [[Rome]].
+David Gilmour released his third solo record, ''[[On an Island]]'', on [[March 6]], [[2006]], and began a tour of small concert venues in Europe, Canada and the U.S. with a band including Richard Wright and was joined several times for the encore by Nick Mason. During the tour, he performed Pink Floyd's first single, "Arnold Layne". Waters was also invited to join them in London, but final rehearsals for his [[Roger Waters - The Dark Side of the Moon Live (2006 tour)|2006 Europe/U.S. tour]] required him to decline.<ref>[http://www.rogerwaters2006.com/popupvideopressjuinuk.html Video Interview with Nick Mason]</ref> Waters was joined on stage by Mason on the 29th of June 2006 for the second half of a show in Cork, Ireland where he performed the whole of ''The Dark Side of the Moon''.
+Waters and Wright are both reported to be working on solo albums, and there has been talk of Waters doing a Broadway musical version of ''The Wall'', with extra music to be written by Waters. Waters also embarked on his worldwide [[The Dark Side of the Moon Live]] Tour; the setlist consisted of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' in its entirety along with a selection of other Pink Floyd favourites and a small number of songs from Waters' solo career. Waters also contributed the song "Hello (I Love You)," cowritten by [[Howard Shore]], to the 2007 film ''[[The Last Mimzy]]''.
+===Future directions===
+Many fans expressed hope that the band's [[Pink Floyd live performances#Live 8, 2005|Live 8 appearance]] would lead to a reunion tour, and a record-breaking US$250 million deal for a world tour was offered,<ref name="La Repubblica">''[http://www.repubblica.it/2006/b/sezioni/spettacoli_e_cultura/gilmo/gilmo/gilmo.html La Repubblica]'', [[3 February]] [[2006]], translation [http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/news/0602061.html here]</ref> but the band have made it clear that they have no such plans. In the weeks after the show, however, the rifts between the members seem to have mostly healed. Gilmour confirmed that he and Waters are on "pretty amicable terms",<ref>[[Music Week]], [http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/news/0507132.html here]</ref> but Waters has offered conflicting comments on the issue, with statements as varied as "I [can] roll over for one show, but I couldn't roll over for a whole fucking tour"<ref> Rolling Stone [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/rogerwaters/articles/story/7504168/roger_waters]</ref> and "I hope we do it again,"<ref>''Word Magazine'', October 2005</ref> although most recently, his statements indicate his desire to play together again, not for a whole tour, but for an event similar to Live 8.<ref>''[[Guitar World]]'', April 2006</ref><ref name="Waters Willing To Perform Together Again">''[http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/roger-waters-talks-of-touring-the-incas-and-of-pink-floyd.html Waters Willing To Perform Together Again]'', [[1 March]] [[2007]]</ref>
+On [[January 31]], [[2006]], David Gilmour issued a joint statement on behalf of the group stating that they have no plans to reunite, refuting rumours from several media outlets.<ref>Official site of Pink Floyd [http://web.archive.org/web/20050317013907/http://www.pinkfloyd.com/home/20.html]</ref> Gilmour later stated in an interview with ''[[La Repubblica]]'' that he is finished with Pink Floyd and wishes to focus on solo projects and his family. He mentions that he agreed to play Live 8 with Waters to support the cause, to make peace with Waters, and knowing he would regret not taking part.<ref name="La Repubblica"/> However, he states that Pink Floyd would be willing to perform for a concert "that would support Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts".<ref name="Die Welt">''[http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/interviews/nm050206.html Die Welt]'', [[6 February]] [[2006]]</ref> Then speaking with [[Billboard]], Gilmour changed his "finished with Pink Floyd" sentiment to "who knows".
+saw the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd's signing to EMI and the 40th anniversary of the release of their first three singles "Arnold Layne", "See Emily Play" and "Apples and Oranges" and their debut album ''The Piper at the Gates of Dawn''. This was marked by the release of a limited edition set containing mono and stereo mixes of the albums, plus tracks from the singles and other rare recordings.
+On [[May 10]], [[2007]], Roger Waters performed at the Syd Barrett tribute concert at the [[Barbican Centre]] in London. This was then followed by a surprise performance by the post-Waters Pink Floyd line-up of David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason of "Arnold Layne" to a rapturous applause and standing ovation. However, hopes of a second reunion concert with the band's classic lineup were dashed when Waters did not perform with the group. Roger Waters took to the stage to screams of "Pink Floyd!" to which he responded, "Later." Gilmour, Mason, and Wright took to the stage to screams of "Roger Waters!" to which Gilmour politely responded, "Yeah, he was here too, now the rest of us."
+<ref>[http://www.nme.com/news/pink-floyd/28288 Pink Floyd appear at Syd Barrett tribute gig]</ref>
+More recently, Waters has become more and more open to a Pink Floyd reunion. In a 2007 interview, he said  “I would have no problem if the rest of them wanted to get together. It wouldn’t even have to be to save the world. It could be just because it would be fun. And people would love it.” <ref>[http://www.viewauckland.co.nz/roger_waters_interview_3_dark_side_moon_concert_auckland_index.html Roger Waters Interview by Graham Reid: Dark Side of the Moon Concert Auckland]</ref>
+On September 24th, 2007, Gilmour stated that a future reunion of Pink Floyd in any form, be it with or without Roger Waters, looked grim, stating that "I can’t see why I would want to be going back to that old thing. It’s very retrogressive. I want to look forward, and looking back isn’t my joy." <ref>Rolling Stone: Exclusive: David Gilmour Looks Darkly at the Future of Pink Floyd [http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/09/24/exclusive-david-gilmour-looks-darkly-at-the-future-of-pink-floyd/]</ref>
+On December 10th (UK) & 11th (US) 2007, Pink Floyd released a new CD box set (Titled: Oh, By The Way...)<ref>Brain Damage [http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/pink-floyd-mini-vinyl-studio-box-set.html Pink Floyd Box Set Confirmed For Dec '07] 2007-10-13 Accessed: 2007-11-22</ref> containing all fourteen studio albums newly remastered with original vinyl artwork plus new artwork from Storm Thorgerson.
+==Live performances==
+{{main|Pink Floyd live performances}}
+Pink Floyd are renowned for their lavish stage shows, combining over-the-top visual experiences with music to create a show in which the performers themselves are almost secondary. They have always resisted the temptation of a large screen portraying band members because they "don't really do very much", preferring instead to show [[music videos]] to run alongside the songs.
