Boronalli: KQED: An Hour With Pink Floyd directed by Bob Diehl
the concert of Hyde Park, mixed with an organization of cords and brass orchestra which killed in the egg all its rocky lightnings. Since then, the fevered quest did not contain of filmed clips, bootleg albums, then at the age of the net, fragments of concerts with a more or less good character in Florida or in Japan, of a point in BBC or a concert in Saint Tropez.
