Summary of Mark Blake's Comfortably Numb

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The last time Pink Floyd got into trouble with a politician was in the 1980s, when their song Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 featured a choir of London inner city schoolchildren shouting a chorus of We don’t need no education. In 2005, Live 8 was held to raise awareness about Third World deprivation and to urge world leaders to tackle the issue of poverty.

#2 The four members of Pink Floyd have struck a truce to perform at the concert, and they have not made an album since 1994. With the lure of a good cause and Geldof’s expert arm-twisting, it took just three weeks for them to agree to play.

#3 The goosebumping scream that precedes Breathe sounds eerily familiar. It is a recording of a Pink Floyd roadie from nearly thirty years earlier at Abbey Road Studios. The men on stage look curiously real, as if they could be any group of fifty-something businessmen on a dress-down Friday.

#4 The band members were Wright, Gilmour, and Waters. Wright had been relegated in Pink Floyd, a victim of his own reticence and the strong personalities surrounding him. Gilmour had been the only frontman for Floyd since the mid-1980s.
