Hats off to Roland Petit who understood how fantastic Pink Floyd is and to all of them for coming together and creating a thing of immense beauty. I would have given BIG to be there
ya it was called "Sweating With The Floyd". Richard Simmons was planned to make an appearance but his plane was stuck in New York due to a gang of ruffians.
They were respected in France before becoming generally popular, before DSM...were appreciated and understood there, which makes sense, because their concept of music and art exudes/suits French postmodernism spirit of the 60ies...
In other words, they were extensively artistically creative, original, curious, intelligent and had a vision... :-) I agree with you almost completely...I think David and Richard were hugely musically talented though,had great musical minds while Roger was the intellectual and conceptual visionary.
I read about Pink Floyd & ballet on a magazine and Wikipedia. They don't have too much information. I knew more about that watching some youtube videos.
Sure I thought the Dark Side was 73, and there using props. But you know more than I about the ballet stuff, quite odd, even for floyd. I wonder if this is were the idea for collection of great song and dance songs came from.

In 1972, Roland Petit (the guy at 1:00) founded the Ballet National de Marseille with the piece “Pink Floyd Ballet”.

Pink Floyd were always far from all the other bands..They constantly did things no one did at that time. GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
