After seeing the short, possibly final miniconcert of Pink Floyd at Live8, for André Becker it was clear: get on and make sure that a tribute to Pink Floyd becomes a reality. Becker: “Besides being fans, we feel that Pink Floyd has had an enormous influence on the music of today. Through the experimental music of Pink Floyd, underground music took on the mantle of progressive rock. Besides the challenge of performing our favourite form of music in a special show, we know that the music of Pink Floyd continues to enjoy a very wide fan base.”
As ‘pop professor’ Leo Blokhuis puts it: ‘Queen is the queen, Pink Floyd is the king.’
