As Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon creeps up on the 50th Anniversary next year, it's important to remember the impact the album had musically. However, for us here, it's even more vital to remember the impact Pink Floyd would have on live concert performance that can be traced back to this era. Evolving from the liquid light shows in the Syd Barret era, The Floyd introduce Mr. Screen in France 1973 along with the short films of Ian Emes. These short films loosely tell the story of the individual tracks of the 42:49 minute Dark Side of the Moon. A touchstone moment. Pink Floyd also performed Dark Side live with the Roland Petit Ballet, an unbelievable mash-up for 1973. The success of Dark Side of the Moon allowed the band to expand on these live performance ideas that would grow into the gold standard for what a stadium rock concert experience would become. Pink Floyd was the 1st to take their own custom sound and light equipment out on the road. The original lighting stage dress featured cherry pickers with stage lights that moved during the show...an cool concept that was born out of necessity because of the issues surrounding a traditional light truss. There is little pro-shot film for video from this era...the stills we have must tell the story. What an amazing time for music...

We hope to create some of the moments for the KnuckleBonz Collectors and Pink Floyd fans around the world later this year.

Rock Hard!
