Welcome To The Floyd Side Of The Moon: Pink Floyd

The Wall was the apex of Pink Floyd’s ambition and dysfunction. It was a literal wall on stage — 40 feet tall, blocking the band from the audience. Waters barely interacted with anyone. Gilmour insisted on performing Comfortably Numb from the top of the wall to avoid the chaos below.

After the breakup, it seemed reconciliation was impossible… until Live 8 in 2005. For the first time in over 20 years, the classic lineup reunited on stage. It was magical — but fleeting. Waters was quoted afterward as saying it was “emotional” but not something he’d repeat. Gilmour, likewise, seemed over it.

When Wright died in 2008, the final nail went into the reunion coffin.

Today, Pink Floyd isn’t just a band — it’s a brand, a mythology, a sound you can’t quite explain but instantly recognize. Dark Side still charts every year. The Wall gets quoted in political protests. And somewhere, a college freshman is staring at a dorm room ceiling wondering if time really is a relative concept.

“They started as trippy kids messing with echo pedals. They became gods of rock. Then they sued each other into oblivion. That’s Pink Floyd.”
