All the Madmen

by Clinton Heylin

  Important released live performances of the era: British Winter Tour 1974 (three-CD boot); Knebworth Park (three-CD boot). In November 2011, Pink Floyd finally released the Wembley 1974 performances of ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’, ‘Raving and Drooling’ and ‘You Gotta Be Crazy’ on a 2-CD Deluxe version of Wish You Were Here.

  Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974).

  Acknowledgements

  Thanks first and foremost to my editor, Leo Hollis, for believing in the idea and seeing it through to publication. Thanks also to those who have read and commented on various drafts of the mighty tome as it went its way from draft to draft, notably Andy Miller and Mick Gold.

  Thanks, as ever, to my beavering muso-friends who have dug through their paper and audio archives to hunt out the obscure and the esoteric on my badgering behalf: Scott Curran, Peter Doggett (despite being engaged on his own related tome), Colin Harper, Brian Hinton, Andy Neil, Steve Shepherd and Mr Miller (again).

  And finally, thanks to those who shared their memories of the period to me, whenever and whatever the pretext, especially Joe Boyd, Peter Jenner and Miles.

  Clinton Heylin, October 2011
