The group mostly kept a low profile during their peak years, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t get into trouble every now and then.
In 1967, while working on their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Pink Floyd was invited to perform at the Games For May event at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall.
During the performance, the band filled the venue with bubbles and scattered flowers into the audience — which the crowd enjoyed, but not for the venue staff. The stunt left marks on the new leather seats, and Pink Floyd was promptly banned from the hall for 49 years.
"It was partly to do with nailing the bass drum onto a brand-new stage that had new wood put on," he told the BBC in 2014.
While Gilmour was eventually invited back to the Hall, it was only as a solo artist — not with the rest of the band.
After the concert, the surrounding streets were overwhelmed with fans. "Residents were really upset about the mess and the people," local resident Dave Elley told CBC in 2012. "I don’t think the city was prepared for the amount of people that showed up."
The chaos led to a 33-year concert ban at the stadium, which officially closed in 2012. It did host one final show, featuring The Tragically Hip and Sam Roberts Band, before shutting its doors for good.
