From the faux backstage pass front cover, the memorabilia-strewn back cover, and the staging schematics just inside the cover, it is immediately apparent that Bobby Hassall's Backstage is a Pink Floyd book with a difference. A revised and rejuvinated edition of the book Hassall originally published in limited numbers back in 1991 (and distributed via Brain Damage Magazine), it is a fascinating look at life on the road as he follows Pink Floyd's 1989 Another Lapse tour, Knebworth 1990, and, now in this new edition, the 1994 Division Bell tour in Europe. Initial attempts to jump fences and dodge security to see the shows ended with Hassall being adopted by the stage crew and even ending up working with them!
