I remember – only vaguely – that first gig in Manchester, the one that’s on Ummagumma. You were groundbreaking even then, but somehow more approachable than the big stadium sets that became your signature.
The a cappella climax on Saucerful of Secrets just blew me away. It’s fair to say I’ve been blown away ever since – the music, the light shows, the graphics, album covers – even the V&A exhibition was amazing.
You have been one of the soundtracks of my life.
Thank you.
