Stagecraft

The apparatus, which is genuinely distinctive and badly under-collected. Quadraphonic sound and the Azimuth Co-ordinator, the joystick that moved sound around a hall, now in a museum case. Mr. Screen, the circular projection screen. Lasers, the mirrorball that opened like a flower, the crashing aeroplane, the inflatables, and the wall itself, built across the front of the stage during the show and demolished at the end of it.

An inflatable pig flown over Battersea Power Station on 26 September 2011 for the Why Pink Floyd reissue campaign, restaging the image made for Animals thirty-five years earlier. In December 1976 the original broke its mooring on the second day of shooting because the marksman hired to shoot it down had not been rebooked. The sleeve itself is a composite: the pig was superimposed onto a photograph taken on an earlier day.
2011 - The pig above the chimneys. The pig between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station, 26 September 2011. The frequently repeated claim that the 1976 escape grounded all flights at Heathrow has no contemporaneous aviation record behind it.

2017 - The flower-petal mirrorball. A rotating flower-petal mirrorball used to throw spotlights during Pink Floyd concerts between 1975 and 1977. Lighting and staging were as much of the band's identity as the records.
2017 - The mirrorball open, seen from below. The rotating flower-petal mirrorball threw spotlights around the hall during Pink Floyd concerts between 1975 and 1977. The staging was as much of the band's identity as the records.
2017 - Mirror facets and blue light. Peter Wynne-Willson and Bruce Speight shaped the band's early lighting practice; Marc Brickman designed the later arena shows and Mark Fisher the sets.
2017 - The mirrorball at full spread. A descendant of this device, the mirrorball that opens during "Comfortably Numb", became the signature moment of the 1994 Division Bell shows.
2017 - The mirrorball with its petals folded. Closed, the object reads as a segmented shell; in performance the petals fold outward to scatter the beams. It dates from the 1975 to 1977 tours.
2017 - The petal mirrorball as an object. Pink Floyd built a touring apparatus around the music rather than around the band, who almost never appeared on their own sleeves after 1968.
2017 - Great Wave drum head from Nick Mason's kit. A drum head from Nick Mason's 1973 Ludwig kit, painted with Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa. The kit was used through the Dark Side of the Moon tours.
2017 - A Great Wave head with a guitar neck across it. The Hokusai print was applied across the whole kit, front and side, so the wave read from the back of the hall. Mason is the only member to appear on every Pink Floyd album.
2017 - Nick Mason's Ludwig kit at the V&A. The 1973 Ludwig kit in its exhibition case. Mason has kept an unusually complete personal archive, which is one reason so much of the band's hardware survives.
2017 - The painted bass drum, close up. The Great Wave kit toured with Dark Side of the Moon, which reached number one in America in April 1973 and stayed on the Billboard 200 for 741 weeks between 1973 and 1988.
2017 - The full Ludwig kit from above. Mason wrote the band memoir Inside Out in 2004, the only long first-person account by a member who stayed out of the Waters and Gilmour dispute.
2017 - Toms and floor drums, Great Wave kit. The kit is displayed as it stood on stage. Mason went on to lead Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets from 2018, playing the pre-1973 material almost none of which the band had performed in decades.
2017 - A stage mirror and case at the V&A. Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains ran at the Victoria and Albert Museum from May to October 2017 and gathered instruments, props and stage hardware from across the band's working life.
2017 - Inside the mirrored room. The V&A built a mirrored chamber for the exhibition's final section, echoing the mirrorball the band used from the mid 1970s onward.
2017 - The mirrored chamber, wide. Staging was never decoration for this band. The lighting, the projections and the inflatables carried as much of the show as the playing did.
2017 - Guitars and the Premier drum head. Instruments from the band's first years shown against a Premier bass drum head lettered "Pink Floyd". The band formed in London in 1965.
2017 - Bass and guitars in the V&A case. Waters played a Fender Precision through most of the band's working life. Gilmour's Black Strat, bought in New York in 1970, is on the other side of the same room.
2017 - Stage clothes from the 1960s. Shirts and a hat from the band's first period, when they played the UFO Club and the Roundhouse and were as much a light show as a group.
2017 - A costume case at the exhibition. The clothing is one of the few places the band as people appear in their own visual record. Their sleeves almost never showed them.
2017 - A stage figure inside a lit ring. Mr. Screen, the band's 40 foot circular projection screen, dates from this design lineage, as does the mirrorball that opens during "Comfortably Numb".
2017 - The flower-petal mirror ball. The rotating flower-petal mirror ball used to throw spotlights around the hall at Pink Floyd concerts between 1975 and 1977. The petals open, so the ball reads as a closed sphere until the moment it blooms. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.
2017 - The mirror ball open. The mirror ball with its petals extended. A far larger successor, billed as the world's largest mirrorball, was deployed during "Comfortably Numb" on the 1987 and 1994 tours. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.

2017 - Hiwatt and WEM amplification. Hiwatt and WEM amplifiers of the kind Pink Floyd used on stage. WEM built the band's early PA; the group's appetite for bigger and better-distributed sound is the thread running from Games for May in 1967 to the quadraphonic touring rigs of the 1970s. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.
2017 - A quadraphonic mixing console. A four-channel audio console from the band's quadraphonic touring equipment. Games for May at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 12 May 1967 put speakers in all four corners of the hall and drove them from a joystick on stage; it is among the first and most influential surround-sound rock concerts. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.
2017 - The Teacher puppet. The Teacher, one of Gerald Scarfe's puppets, from Roger Waters' solo stagings of The Wall. Scarfe designed the characters and all the animation for the 1979 album and the 1982 film; the artwork is his, not Hipgnosis'. He is alive and gives interviews. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.
2017 - The Wife puppet. The head of the Wife puppet from the original 1980 and 1981 Wall concerts. Only thirty-one shows were played and no film of that production was released; the audio finally appeared as Is There Anybody Out There? in 2000. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.
2017 - Waters' costume from The Wall. A mannequin in one of Roger Waters' costumes from the original Wall concerts, with the crossed-hammers armband and a megaphone. The hammers are Scarfe's design and among the most reproduced images in rock. Photographed at Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 13 October 2017.

2017 - The prism rig above the floor. The suspended lighting structure over the arena floor at the United Center, Chicago, 23 June 2017. Waters' staging keeps the Pink Floyd habit of building the show into the room rather than onto a stage.
2017 - Projection at the United Center. Projected imagery across the arena screens, Chicago, 23 June 2017.
2018 - Wright's Prophet-5, marked up for The Wall. The Prophet-5 analogue synthesiser Richard Wright took on the road in 1980.

2018 - Liquid light on the backdrop. Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, 25 September 2018. The oil-slide light show is the visual signature of the London underground clubs the band came out of.

2022 - Pink Floyd - Animals 2018 Remix Documentary (Tour Design). The In the Flesh tour of 1977 flew the inflatable pig over stadium audiences. By Waters' own account, his alienation on this tour was the seed of The Wall.
2022 - Pink Floyd - Animals 2018 Remix Documentary (Pig On The Loose). The inflatable pig, realised with Jeffrey Shaw and Ballon Fabrik, broke free over Battersea in December 1976. Accounts that all Heathrow flights were grounded are legend: no contemporaneous aviation record supports them.
2022 - MIKE LEONARD- SYD BARRETT /PINK FLOYD'S LANDLORD & EXPERIMENTAL LIGHTING GENIUS- RARE INTERVIEW.2001. Mike Leonard was the band's landlord in Highgate and an experimental light artist. His projection work fed directly into the liquid light shows the band became known for.
