'This programme contains some strong
language, and scenes of repetitive
flashing images.' The Pink Floyd...

00:00:14,677 --> 00:00:18,532
In 2005,
four distinguished rock musicians
5
00:00:18,567 --> 00:00:23,732
performed together for the first
time in 25 years at Live 8.
6
00:00:26,117 --> 00:00:31,817
For a precious 20 minutes,
they were all once again
the legendary Pink Floyd,
7
00:00:31,852 --> 00:00:35,856
a band that has spanned 40 years,
pioneering everything
8
00:00:35,891 --> 00:00:39,814
from underground rock
to the stadium extravaganza.
9
00:00:39,849 --> 00:00:43,692
A band that has survived tragedy,
shunned celebrity
10
00:00:43,727 --> 00:00:48,983
and wrestled publicly with
both its success and its audience.
11
00:00:52,347 --> 00:00:58,877
There have been five men in
Pink Floyd and three of them have
led the band in different decades.
12
00:00:58,912 --> 00:01:02,758
That's why the question
still remains, which one's Pink?
13
00:01:12,757 --> 00:01:15,332
London, 1965.
14
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,622
British pop music rules the world.
15
00:01:17,657 --> 00:01:23,334
Clubs are throbbing with
electric guitars, pounding drums
and would-be rock'n'roll stars.
16
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:29,054
Three middle-class students, Rick
Wright, Roger Waters and Nick Mason
17
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:32,862
were studying architecture
at the Regent Street Polytechnic.
18
00:01:32,897 --> 00:01:38,153
They formed a band and dreamed
of escaping the profession
they seemed destined to inhabit.
19
00:01:40,727 --> 00:01:46,825
The group went through
several permutations and names,
including The Tea Set and Sigma 6,
20
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:51,698
performing standard cover versions
of American and British
rhythm and blues.
