Some of the more sizable (and spookier) contributions to the exhibition are the giant inflatables hung above the larger rooms in the museum. The other members of Pink Floyd also contributed many artifacts like the letter that Gilmour sent his parents to reassure them about his joining “the Pink Floyd.” He negotiates with them about London’s underground scene and its reputation for drugs and loud music. Amp after amp and we all freaked totally, cursing shouting and we eventually gave up completely.” He also contributed several written mementos like his gig diary from 1967, where on a Saturday in March of 1968, he cited: “Probably the worst gig ever! Everything broke.
Mason contributed a large collection of items from his own personal archive including two green and orange stage shirts (any vintage buyer’s dream) worn by the drummer during Pink Floyd’s 1968 live performances. Nick Mason’s diary, shirts and other personal items His appearance and persona had changed drastically by then, and the experience shook some of the band members, inspiring them to write and record songs like “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” (“Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky, shine on you crazy diamond”) and “Wish You Were Here.” During his visit, a polaroid photo captured a hairless Syd Barrett sitting in a chair. The band had just finished touring the U.K., performing Dark Side until they eventually returned to Abbey Road Studios in January of 1975 to start recording their ninth studio album, Wish You Were Here.Īfter having left the band in 1968, Barrett made a rare appearance at the recording sessions of Wish You Were Here. One of the most emotional and shocking moments of the tour happens immediately after the success of The Dark Side of The Moon. Photo of Syd Barrett during Wish You Were Here sessions You will find entire halls dedicated to Pink Floyd’s sonic invention and use of music technology, but if you look closely, you can track down the string of rustic coins used to make the sound effects on “Money.” And a Zippo lighter (propped atop Barrett’s Selmer Stereomaster) like the one used as a guitar slide for “Echoes.” There are plenty of custom instruments used by the band scattered throughout the tour - some replicas and some originals like Mason’s drumsticks, Waters’ guitar slide, Gilmour’s double-neck steel guitar and Mason’s “Hokusai Wave” drum kit which was painted after the band toured Japan.
