Pink Floyd – A Fleeting Glimpse

Good Day to all our visitors from around the globe. A Fleeting Glimpse has been working long and hard behind the scenes to bring an immersive, interactive and modern viewing experience to all Pink Floyd fans across the globe.

Since July of 2020, our team has been working behind the scenes to reconstruct “almost’ every tour book in the 55 year Pink Floyd touring catalog, For the first time since these books were originally printed all the way back to and including 1966. They have now been reconstructed in 3D technology and presented to you digitally in their original form.

This has taken an extraordinary amount of effort and is a collaboration between A Fleeting Glimpse and collectors from all over the globe via The Pink Floyd Collectors social media platform. Originally launched as an online photo gallery in 1998 when the site was first established. We have now completely converted all previous material and in most parts have managed to upgrade the quality of every predecessor of this exhibit. Spanning an entire career from 1966 featuring over 75 new additions. We are delighted to be able to bring this to the masses as a permanent feature to the site.

**The tour book section is compatible on all devices, but we do suggest you glance over the how-to guide to enhance your viewing experience.

You can view our very exciting immersive experience by simply Clicking Here or by choosing Tour Books from our menu navigation bar.

“The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains” has just opened at the Vogue Multicultural Museum, making its first U.S. stop on an international tour in the heart of Hollywood. Down on the corner, and in surrounding blocks, you can find tourist shops selling “Dark Side of the Moon” T-shirts (mostly unlicensed, probably) — but it’s not because they’re capitalizing on the Floyd exhibition being in the neighborhood; it’s that they sell them every day of every year, just like most other T-shirt shops in the world. That’s the power of the iconography being celebrated in “Their Mortal Remains.”

And it’s the power of the graphic and photographic work done in the ’60s and ’70s by Aubrey Powell and his late partner, Storm Thorgerson, who as the founders and creative principals of Hipgnosis defined much of what was great about album art in that era. The current exhibition is almost as much a testament to the power that they held over the public imagination during Hipgnosis’ glory days as it is to the band’s aural intrigue. Powell is one of the co-curators of the exhibition, which ensured it has deep insights into the imagery they created for Floyd from their second album on through to essential creations like “Ummagumma,” “Atom Heart Mother,” “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here” and, finally, “Animals.

The exhibit also goes well into the covers Hipgnosis didn’t do, like “The Wall,” before Thorgerson rejoined the fold in the post-Roger Waters era. After he died in 2013, Powell (or “Po,” as he’s known) took the baton, and has served as art director on recent projects like the recent “Later Years” boxed set, a remix drawn from it of “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” coming out as a singular remix this fall, and an “Animals” boxed set due in 2022.

On the eve of the opening of the exhibition , Po spoke with Variety about some of the indelible Floyd images he and Thorgerson designed.

Among all the controversy regarding the original origins of Yet Another Movie. A video has been scheduled to go live on Friday 24th September at 9:00am GMT which features one of the original ideas / demos that became the song we all know and love.

David Gilmour has issued the following supporting comments

” I thought, this week, that we would put up the original demo, written by Pat Leonard and myself, for what was to become ‘Yet Another Movie’ on the ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ album. Pat Leonard and I met up at Astoria in September 1986 a couple of days after I had played on a Bryan Ferry track that he was producing.

We had a glass or two of wine and jammed for hours. For some reason that I can no longer remember I had chosen the fretless bass as my instrument of the day. But it turned into a beautiful song.
