Services like and HDtracks sell high-res Floyd albums. However, they occasionally offer "Free Album of the Week" programs. Similarly, Amazon Music often gives new users a 30-day free trial of their "Unlimited" service. During that trial, you can "pin" or download albums to your device for offline listening.
But like a character in The Wall , you have a choice: Do you walk through the wall legally, supporting the art that saved your life, or do you try to tear it down via illegal downloads?
For over half a century, Pink Floyd has been more than just a band; they are an auditory experience. From the psychedelic ramblings of Syd Barrett to the operatic melancholy of The Wall , their discography represents the pinnacle of concept album production. It is no surprise, then, that millions of new listeners type the exact phrase into search engines every single month.
Websites like (a legendary Floyd forum) and The Archives host soundboard recordings of concerts from the 1970s. You can download entire concerts from the Animals tour or the Meddle tour for free, legally, because the band never officially released them (or they have abandoned the copyright on that specific recording).
Why? Because Roger Waters and David Gilmour (often fighting with each other) agree on one thing: the art has commercial value.
