Btw what would you recommend to watch or read as a starter for understanding Pink Floyd lore?
I would definitely start off with these two books:
Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake
and
Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd by Nick Mason (<3)
I cannot tell you how many posts I've made that are derived from passages of these two books. Nick has the benefit of having been there, and he has sense of humor that literally made me laugh out loud many times while reading it, but Mark Blake has a bit more of an objective stance on events and adds details that nick wasn't willing to (such as their coke use in the 80's). They offer a good balance.
You can access pdfs of both of them here:
As for videos I'll defer to others' recommendations in terms of broader-scope floyd lore (e.g., a good documentary that's well-balanced and not weird about syd – any recs?).
The obvious answer would be to make sure you watch Live at Pompeii early on, or at least the accompanying interviews because that's where a LOT of the memes come from. (in general, the benefit of being a pink floyd fan is that they avoided the media so much that it doesn't actually take that long to catch up with Actual Footage of them – at least from while the band was active)
