Author Phil Taylor was employed by Pink Floyd as their only full-time backline crew member. Responsible for all of the band's equipment - guitars, keyboards, bass and drums both on tour and in the studio, Phil has worked on every Pink Floyd and David Gilmour project since 1974 and is the only person to know Pink Floyd's equipment better than the band members themselves. He was both production director and guitar technician for David's solo shows in 2001/2002, the On An Island tour 2006, the Rattle That Lock tour 2015/2016 as well as Pink Floyd's Live8 reunion in 2005.
