Dave Gilmour does a pretty commendable job of duplicating Syd Barrett's vocal on Flaming. As drummer Nick Mason's autobiography repeatedly stated (and which I figured from the onset), a bit of a sense of humor went a long way with this band. Job well done! Elated that this film has survived.
@@kristenlanum I fell in love with fringed jackets when Cream got potograpphed in them, and I always wanted one. However, if you gave me one now, I'd probably never wear it. Shame.
Roger is remarkably restrained, Rick taking it all in his stride, Nick being epic as usual and Dave thinking, "what the f**k am I doing here?" So glad he stuck with it!
Now, now. Everyone knows Mr Gilmour wants to be known as DAVID. It's his name after all; he's entitled to be addressed as he wants. Not to be confused with David Cameron who insisted; "Call me Dave". David Cameron was/is an absolute tosser. David Gilmour is a brilliant composer and guitarist.
This is what they sounded like after Sid Barrett died, every band that came out of Natchez Mississippi that year could play circles around these blokes, I'm glad they found the help they needed, I don't see how this bunch ever recorded "Dark Side of the Moon" without the entire British Music Community doing most of the heavy lifting.
@@phillipward937 Looks suspiciously like someone spoiling for an argument - yahboo the group I like is better than yours. Listen up Phillip; you like what you like and others will like what they like. Simple.
To think I camped out in a parking lot waiting in line for their tickets 24-7 for 3 days, not even 10 years after this was recorded. Got 3rd row. Best concert ever. Incredible. Despite this being rather rough they're still better than 95% of groups who call themselves a band
Better than 95%??? I can't even imagine how this is considered decent music at all. But that just goes to show that anyone can make it and become famous.
You can really tell that this kind of music never was David´s cup of tea. I´m glad he switched directions and helped make Pink Floyd what they ultimately got remembered for.
And the look at 5:14. He is so over it 😆😆 It would have been hard to step into the psychedelic nonsensical playground that was Syd's mind and just take up the mantle of fill-in vocalist/guitarist. He must have wondered what the hell he got into. I think the bands he'd been playing in were Beatles-esque/R n B covers weren't they?
Yup, nor was it mine (and a whole lot of PF fans I know). The spacey psychedelia of Barrett is weird, creepy, and kinda boring. The entrance of Dave steered the band away from it into more introspective melodic territories, and combined with Roger's powerful lyricism, social commentaries, and progressive overtures, made up for the massive success of Animals, up to The Wall. From that point on, Rog was unhinged and his lyrics and music had taken over, with their increasingly self-absorbed and self-indulgent whininess that the other members of the band became disenfranchised--until Gilmour rescued and re-styled it to his vision: more melodic, melancholic, with lyrics that are more existentially themed. Which is my fave era of PF!
I repect your opinion, but AllMusic tags as editor's choice both The Piper and The Dark Side. IMO the '67 album was a masterpiece in the psychedelic rock genre. My favorite PF piece is Echoes, tho :)
Whenever I see a Pink Floyd performance, especially from the early years, I can't help but think of Rick Wright much the same way I think of Michael Anthony...their vocalizations enhanced the sound and made it bigger and better. Rick is missed.
Rick's keyboards and vocals held this band together in the chaotic early days. His backup vocals are such a huge part of the sound and feel of DSOTM, as well. RIP Rick
I was 8 years old then, in a few years they would become one of my favorite bands, this is right when the Beatlemania was playing on radios everywhere, our third grade teacher would let us play Beatle records during lunchtime, cool teacher.
Not QUITE Beatlemania was 1963 to 66. They raised their game late 66 & again 67 with Sgt Pepper This Floyd track emerged in 1969 All good & kudos to that teacher 'though
Rick it the gentle cornerstone of Floyd, all the beauty comes from his voice, his keyboarding, the perfect counterpoint to the malevolence of Waters. This is the duality, balance, and harmony of Floyd.
its amazing that these same four guys,would go on to write & record the most influential music made over the next 10 to 12 years. the dark side of the moon may very well be the best album ever made by mankind.the genious of it still blows my mind,to this day.wish you were here,is awesome as well.
Your comment is quite over the top. Although I agree with your opinion in general, the use of ‘in my opinion’ or just an ‘I think’ would have prevented your joining the general trend these days of overuse of superlatives and hyperbolic statements.
Dark Side of the Moon is no match for Meddle, Ummagumma, Saucerful of Secrets or Piper-ATGOD., You really lack of prog rock culture : bands like King Crimson, Yes, Magma, Univers Zéro, Soft Machine, Gong, etc etc, brought way more interesting music than PF, not even speaking about Frank Zappa everybody was copying... The DSOTM band was already victim of Waters' aggressive takeover.
Piper is one of my favorites and I give Dave much credit for going through with singing and playing Syd's creations though it didn't suit him. Kinda painful watching Dave sing Flaming. Loved what they were in the beginning and what they became.
it's like any late 60's prog band. cant't see why people is either disliking it or calling it weird. Listen to early Yes and early Genesis... or early floyd for that matter
I love Davids stare at the beginning of this song, I think he was thinking "Man this music isn't cool like my awesome Blues riffs. I can't wait to do my own thing. Great concert, but Dave is ready to move on to bigger and better things. Rip Sid!
Obviously this video is after Syd went out of the picture, and Gilmour is filling in. I have never seen him sing Syds songs at that time, though read that he had. So Cool.
Got to hang out with them for a day and an evening on Formentera in 73. Didn't realize I was in the presence of legends, but then again, neither did they
I love to see the evolution of music. I showed this to my daughter and she laughed and said it was crap, but then I explained how this was a step to what she likes now. We are all just witnesses along the road of progress. I was more of a fan of Pink Floyd in the 70's, but in all fairness I am a fan of very little early 60's music.
This video is a classic in terms of showing how simple the music is that musicians make at the beginning of their careers. Comparing the beauty and complexity of the music they made later in their career..amazing progression of song writing and performance. That's the human side of it, how people grow and develop. I love the insight this video provides.

Le mec met une photo de Syd sur son profil et il n'est même pas capable de le reconnaitre... allez zou... rentre chez toi et écoute bien The Wall... tu nous feras une rédac sur comment les Pink Floyd ont inventé un nouveau son dans les années 80... Oo
David Gilmour...is...soooo...damn...young. Lol. They look fantastic. All of them. Amazing to think...within in just a short amount of time...they would go from this, 'psychedelic noodling', to epic and all time great rock concept albums. Pink Floyd did just as much for rock music as The Beatles, The Stones, and Led Zeppelin. They are indeed...the Big Four.
Take the noodling over that overplayed non-stop 24/7/365 dark side blah blah blah. Those overplayed Floyd and Fleetwood Mac songs probably did more to turn people onto AM radio and encourage inventions like Pandora and Spotify where at last one could escape yet another Dark Side or Rumors song. Not even that they were bad tunes, more that the programmers of media stations just couldn’t stop playing the songs long past were able even fans were beyond sick of hearing them. Went on for 30 frikin’ years.
*_"to epic and all time great rock concept albums"_* Waters' conceptual crap was to Pink Floyd what Rudolf Hess conceptual crap was to Germany. In Prog, Pink Floyd isn't in the Big-Four : they're too low skilled on instruments. The Big-4 are King Crimson, Yes, Magma and E.L.P. In rock, you have Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Zappa and the Mothers... Pink Floyd was in the Big-4 of Psychedelics with Hendrix, Gong and Grateful Dead before Waters made the Floyd yet another cocaine snorting pop-music band. Beatles were doing pop, so did Abba or the Stones... Abba did better disco than Pink Floyd...
I agree that Gilmour is a genius, I have learned much from studying how he plays. Pink Floyd would not have been such a musical phenomena without David. However, without Syd Barrett, there would be no Pink Floyd - he was their original main songwriter & frontman (He even came up with the name 'Pink Floyd'). Syd was a genius as well, which all of the band members attest to. It's such a pity that Syd disappeared one day, then came back later to the studio, whacked out of his mind. No one knows for sure what happened, but he probably took one too many psychedelics. Pink Floyd needed both Syd and David - Syd to start it & David to keep it going.
Agreed. The members of Pink Floyd...fit together just as well as The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin did. One can only imagine, what Led Zeppelin would have been without John Paul Jones,, or The Beatles without Ringo Starr, or Pink Floyd, without David Gilmour. Surely they would have gone on to record epic music...but maybe on not so grand a scale. Chemistry amongst band members, should never be underestimated. I just find it hard to believe...that The Beatles...could have been...'The Beatles', without Ringo. Each member of these bands..seem to be a necessary ingredient for their incredible output. We all are so lucky for them to have all found each other, at the exact...right...time.
@@bradjohnson581 *_"No one knows for sure what happened, but he probably took one too many psychedelics"_* What happened to Syd was Roger Waters' schemes and ambitions...
Syd Barrett's songs,if it weren't for him, writing practically all of the piper at the gates of dawn, Arnold Layne,See Emily Play, getting them noticed, into the chart's,he came up with the name,the rest of the band owe a great deal to Syd Barrett, that's probably why they did the Wish you were here album,c'mon and shine on you crazy diamond.
If Syd was with them they would never came with Dark Side of The Moon, I dont like Syd era at all, just another band trying to sound like The Beatles, i know he was important into later inspiration specially DSoTM, but more like a mental inspiration for lyrics not a big musical influence, thanks god. The only song on Syd era i like is Set the controls for the heart of the sun
@@gabrieldomingues6322 but as he stated without Syd there most revered albums would never have been made, this band thrived off the misery of a past acid head.
I've heard that even at the most bitterly angry times between Waters and the rest of the band in the '90s, they still got together every few years to make sure that the monies were being handled correctly and ESPECIALLY that Barrrett was getting his cut.
It is so much easier to be a critic than to make any art. No one who is not a musician and actually made anything like the creative genius music of Pink Floyd should be here acting like they could. If your ego precedes your art, you deserve no merit rewards for that art what so ever!
Pink Floyd was a success as a "creeper", a band that grew on you as they improved and developed. We all should know what else the word creeper represents 😎
@@wascawywabbit0987 They got the name from a couple of blues singers-Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Very disappointing to me. I thought they were going for a sike a delik name.
Man, Nick is going ham on those drums. How different Meddle was, This reminiscent of what Syd was doing, and "Meddle" was such a brake from this. This was cool - thanks for posting it.
On avait de la peine à imaginer en ce temps là, le style novateur et la qualité musicale qu'ils ont été capables de développer durant de longues années par la suite. Bravo ! et merci pour les bons moments d'écoute vécus dans les années "70" en particulier.
"..there was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps.. Running before time took our dreams away..." far more than musicians. Long live the Pink Floyd 💎 thanks for the musical treasure ..
He was a terrible musician. He wrote the simplest pop songs that were way too upbeat and just trash. His lyrics are like a 7 year old wrote them. He couldn't hold a candle to David's guitar playing and Roger's lyrics were deep as hell. Syd was probably a good guy, but they wouldn't have lasted long with him. They were like the retarded Beatles with Syd. David saved their arses that's for sure.
@@telmagalluzzicasetta5187 Esse vídeo é do início de 1968, então o Syd Barrett ainda tava na banda, mas provavelmente drogado demais para fazer um show
"Merçi" is indeed the operative word! But this was fascinating to watch, and in fact I saw a similar performance in Glasgow, in a dance-hall (Electric Garden) being a club mid-week. Now the lights were better, the sound too (I think they even had a small mixing desk for the columns), and the volume was up there. One of the best concerts I've ever enjoyed, although if I'd seen this video first, I don't think I would have paid the 10-bob admission. So overall, thanks for this "Relic".
Roger waters loved to create sounds from different objects which lead to floyds unique sounds. He had an argument with Richard Wright because he wanted to get household objects to make exactly the same sounds as instruments. Wright came back with “then why not just use the instruments?”
As much as I love Pink Floyd, I really hated their gotta sound like the rest of the avg 60's groups faze. I couldn't finish this and had to go watch Echo's live at Pompeii. Thanks for putting this up.
Syd's loss was monumental it took them years to find their own sound. These songs belong to the one and only madcap. No wonder they stuck to long instrumental s.

Pink Floyd was in the Big-4 of Psychedelics with Hendrix, Gong and Grateful Dead before Waters made the Floyd yet another cocaine snorting pop-music band.
Beatles were doing pop, so did Abba or the Stones... Abba did better disco than Pink Floyd...
Sou fã dos pink floyd desde 1972...Via os long plays nas loja e sonhava ter uns trocados para poder comprar. Era um duro na epoca.
Com certeza
Super cette vidéo , un début des floyd ,pour l'époque trés avant gardiste , matériel réduit .
Как перестать просматривать это снова и снова?!
Это не то что сейчас, но поиск стиля дал офигенный результат
Опа, славяне
Откуда они????????!!!!!?!? Что удивительно, курят многие - но Pink ОДИН!!!!
They were so lucky that they had a genius like Gilmour to step in for Syd.
I agree that Gilmour is a genius, I have learned much from studying how he plays. Pink Floyd would not have been such a musical phenomena without David. However, without Syd Barrett, there would be no Pink Floyd - he was their original main songwriter & frontman (He even came up with the name 'Pink Floyd'). Syd was a genius as well, which all of the band members attest to. It's such a pity that Syd disappeared one day, then came back later to the studio, whacked out of his mind. No one knows for sure what happened, but he probably took one too many psychedelics. Pink Floyd needed both Syd and David - Syd to start it & David to keep it going.
Agreed. The members of Pink Floyd...fit together just as well as The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin did. One can only imagine, what Led Zeppelin would have been without John Paul Jones,, or The Beatles without Ringo Starr, or Pink Floyd, without David Gilmour. Surely they would have gone on to record epic music...but maybe on not so grand a scale. Chemistry amongst band members, should never be underestimated. I just find it hard to believe...that The Beatles...could have been...'The Beatles', without Ringo. Each member of these bands..seem to be a necessary ingredient for their incredible output. We all are so lucky for them to have all found each other, at the exact...right...time.
@@baberoot1998 : about the Beatles, I think you meant w.o. Bernard Purdie instead of Ringo Starr?
@@bradjohnson581 *_"No one knows for sure what happened, but he probably took one too many psychedelics"_*
What happened to Syd was Roger Waters' schemes and ambitions...
@@harounel-poussah6936 Roger Waters wrote all lyrics for the Dark Side of the Moon. Not Syd.
One of my favourite floyd songs. great stuff.
They look beautiful and sound out of this world since the beginning I love them so much
It's interesting how they went from the 60s psychedelic sound to what they sounded like in the 70s.
drums sound good!
Pink Floyd is the poster child for "Overall Band Improvement."
After watching this video, there is hope for my guitar and vocal career yet..!!😂😂
Syd Barrett's songs,if it weren't for him, writing practically all of the piper at the gates of dawn, Arnold Layne,See Emily Play, getting them noticed, into the chart's,he came up with the name,the rest of the band owe a great deal to Syd Barrett, that's probably why they did the Wish you were here album,c'mon and shine on you crazy diamond.
If Syd was with them they would never came with Dark Side of The Moon, I dont like Syd era at all, just another band trying to sound like The Beatles, i know he was important into later inspiration specially DSoTM, but more like a mental inspiration for lyrics not a big musical influence, thanks god. The only song on Syd era i like is Set the controls for the heart of the sun
@@gabrieldomingues6322 but as he stated without Syd there most revered albums would never have been made, this band thrived off the misery of a past acid head.
@@MIKE-TYTHON Not really they made sure he was ok you make your own choices
I've heard that even at the most bitterly angry times between Waters and the rest of the band in the '90s, they still got together every few years to make sure that the monies were being handled correctly and ESPECIALLY that Barrrett was getting his cut.
It’s not probably, they said it was for Syd
It is so much easier to be a critic than to make any art. No one who is not a musician and actually made anything like the creative genius music of Pink Floyd should be here acting like they could. If your ego precedes your art, you deserve no merit rewards for that art what so ever!
Pink Floyd was a success as a "creeper", a band that grew on you as they improved and developed. We all should know what else the word creeper represents 😎
I've never seen Pink Floyd work so hard... Thanks for the upload.
That slide whistle, haha, Flaming is such a great song
Still good! After all these years! Never fails!
Fabulous performance music. Thanks for posting them. Good time for you.
Pink Floyd, seen here serving their apprenticeship. Later to become masters of the craft.
Barrett's influence was still prevalent here, even in his absence
@newagetojo Agreed
A few years later, they became a boring act for people high on benzos+weed
The importance of progression cannot be over stated...I like some early Floyd, but prefer their more structured music. Nice piece of history here
When I saw Pink Floyd at Tampa Stadium in Florida USA they played this song. Awesome band
My Pink Floyd ..(LP's before 1972) before they became Top 40's (after 1971) Pink Floyd.
That is crazy early. Never saw that one before. What a journey for those guys.
The band is just fantastic that is really what I think and by the way which one's pink
The one next to Floyd...😀
@@wascawywabbit0987 They got the name from a couple of blues singers-Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Very disappointing to me. I thought they were going for a sike a delik name.
:) :) :)
Man, Nick is going ham on those drums. How different Meddle was, This reminiscent of what Syd was doing, and "Meddle" was such a brake from this.
This was cool - thanks for posting it.
On avait de la peine à imaginer en ce temps là, le style novateur et la qualité musicale qu'ils ont été capables de développer durant de longues années par la suite. Bravo ! et merci pour les bons moments d'écoute vécus dans les années "70" en particulier.
"..there was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps..
Running before time took our dreams away..."
far more than musicians. Long live the Pink Floyd 💎
thanks for the musical treasure ..
High hopes is probably favorite pink Floyd song
Rick never got the credit he deserved....vocals too!
Horse hockey. He got all the credit he deserved.
If this doesn't prove the concept of "never giving up", nothing does.
Thank God they never gave up.
They didn’t find themselves until Dark Side which took quite a while.
@@maxheadroom1837 what do you mean find themselves? They were never lost.
lmao you have no ears if you think a second of this wasn’t golden
I like the older songs too it's a more psychedelic era
@@patrickoneill7636 There was a reason why they called it acid rock back then.
Astonishing. Amazing. Pure awesomeness. Thank you for posting this rarity!
Syd Barret is a brilliant musician. May his rebellious soul rest.🇺🇦💙💛👏👍
Agreed Bro
He was a terrible musician. He wrote the simplest pop songs that were way too upbeat and just trash. His lyrics are like a 7 year old wrote them. He couldn't hold a candle to David's guitar playing and Roger's lyrics were deep as hell. Syd was probably a good guy, but they wouldn't have lasted long with him. They were like the retarded Beatles with Syd. David saved their arses that's for sure.
Richard wright was a genius...
Astronomy Domine
And Flaming
Two of my fave PF songs!!
Bouton Rouge? AYKM? Sweet! So young & beautiful. Greatest music ever!!!!!❤️🤍💙
ISSO QUE É RARIDADE, PINK FLOYD AO VIVO E A CORES! EITA INTER! TE AMO.
Yeah....what he said!^^^^^^
Já tinha saído o syd Barret, uma raridade esse vídeo. Ameiiiiii
@@telmagalluzzicasetta5187 Esse vídeo é do início de 1968, então o Syd Barrett ainda tava na banda, mas provavelmente drogado demais para fazer um show
I love how the guy who introduces them just kind of stays and hangs out.
was wondering wtf
4:00 "Sacre bleu ! mind if I join in with my keyboard?" Le Jean Paul Schaffuer
I wouldn’t leave either.
@@ritter1808 I soak in it too
Lol thx u for this I listen pink since I am 15..but never hear this..
Nowci am 50 and enjoy this more and more
"Merçi" is indeed the operative word! But this was fascinating to watch, and in fact I saw a similar performance in Glasgow, in a dance-hall (Electric Garden) being a club mid-week. Now the lights were better, the sound too (I think they even had a small mixing desk for the columns), and the volume was up there. One of the best concerts I've ever enjoyed, although if I'd seen this video first, I don't think I would have paid the 10-bob admission.
So overall, thanks for this "Relic".
I liked this! Very innovative! Mason sounds like Kieth Moon hahahahah!
Roger waters loved to create sounds from different objects which lead to floyds unique sounds. He had an argument with Richard Wright because he wanted to get household objects to make exactly the same sounds as instruments. Wright came back with “then why not just use the instruments?”
pete townsand did the same
Thanks Syd for your service
wow - David did an amazing job covering for Syd at that time. This video is gold.
he did not
I see that Roger is still wearing the same pair of pants he’s worn for 40 years.
And _still_ has hair, albeit gray now.
You can tell Gilmour wants to move on to the next album.
Good to feel -20 years old again.
Thank you Slipperwoman. Loved it.
1:40 Astronomy Domine
4:25 Flaming
Flaming is one of my fav floyd tracks this Gilmour version goes just as hard. YIPPIE!!!
Awww, Rick is such a baby, here. I miss him SO much! Keyboard King!
This was Nick Mason featuring Pink Floyd.
David has a look on his face like "How did I end up in this band again?"
Prolly thinks that being grown up means frowning. Just joking. I love them all. Wish Rick were still here.
Yeah he looks thrilled to be there lol
The best band ever!
As much as I love Pink Floyd, I really hated their gotta sound like the rest of the avg 60's groups faze. I couldn't finish this and had to go watch Echo's live at Pompeii. Thanks for putting this up.
you think that sounds like the rest of the 60s?
you think that sounds like the rest of the 60s?
Well, that was an excellent choice. That was good stuff. This, not so much.
All I can say is, WOW! I wonder what David, Nick and Roger would think looking at this now.
RIP Richard and Syd.
Syd's loss was monumental it took them years to find their own sound. These songs belong to the one and only madcap. No wonder they stuck to long instrumental s.
Idk what everyone is hating on this about. There's a fucking slidewhistle in the song, it's great.
gotta have more slidewhistle!
wait people are hating on this?
Slide whistles fucking rock!
A slide whistle ain't no cowbell!
Needs more cowbell!!!
I just like watching David.
Just came across this fantastic nostalgic video ,it's out of this world ,was about 13 then
