Unter der Regie des Sängers und Gitarristen Syd Barrett gehörte die Band zunächst zur britischen Psychedelic-Rock-Bewegung. Nach dem drogen-bedingten Ausstieg des Frontmanns entwickelten die verbleibenden Mitglieder einen eigenständigen Stil mit Einflüssen aus Progressive Rock, Blues, Jazz und klassischer Musik. Diese Doppel-DVD zeigt die frühen Jahre, von ihrer Gründung bis hin zur Entstehung des ersten wahren Pink Floyd Albums Meddle. Diese 2 DVD bietet Interviews mit den Pink Floyd Mitgliedern und denen die sie am besten kennen, seltenes Film- und Bildmaterial, Live- und Studio-Aufnahmen der bekanntesten Floyd-Songs und vielen anderen Features wie Biographien der Mitwirkenden.

Es sind inzwischen mehr als 25 Jahre her seit der Veröffentlichung von The Wall. Von Roger Waters als ambitioniertes Doppelalbum, spektakuläre Live-Show und bahnbrechender Kinofilm konzipiert. The Wall hat Ikonenstatus in der modernen Musikgeschichte geschrieben. Und es wurde mit Lob überschüttet, doch auch schärfste Kritik blieb nicht aus. Mit den Worten der Band und ihrer jetzigen und damaligen Kritikern liefert dieser Rückblick eine unabhängige Kritik über einen Meilenstein der Popkultur ab, und zwar ohne Vorurteile
- was ihn zur ultimativen Referenz eines der wichtigsten und bilderreichsten Unterhaltungswerke des 20. Jahrhunderts macht.

Probably possessors of the strangest tale of any group from the rock age, Pink Floyd somehow manage to remain amongst the most popular music acts of all time. & despite being on indefinite hiatus for almost 20 years
- longer if the classic line-up is considered
- the very mention of their name is still enough to garner an emotional response in even the hardiest of fans. But surely such responses are justified when speaking of a group of musicians who have not just proven themselves the most experimental & cutting edge of any chart regulars over the period that such things have been considered important, but who have als inspired & informed a host of subsequent musicians & composers, many of which are the most interesting & important of the current age. This two disc documentary set gets behind the mystery that is Pink Floyd as it unravels the story of the b&, with the first disc covering the post-Syd Barrett classic era of Meddle & Dark Side, & the second disc.. .

Ummagumma is a transitional album marking the end of the space rock/pastoral phase of Pink Floyd before the band moved on to the epic soundscapes of Atom Heart Mother & Meddle. The title of the album is pronounced by the band “ooma-gooma” by the b&, & it is not just pronunciation which presents difficulties in approaching this curious album. Ummagumma still today splits the world of Floyd supporters into those who love the work & those who feel that much of it is frankly unlistenable? In this penetrating independent review narrated by Bob Harris, we hear the views of the band in retrospect contrasted with the views of the album’s Executive Producer, Norman Smith. The film draws on extensive rare footage of Pink Floyd in performance of material from Ummagumma to produce the most frank, comprehensive & forthright review of a landmark in rock history. ...
