I keep thinking that Sean has the voice that John Lennon wanted to have. Such clarity and pureness. Already love early pink Floyd so I'm happy to find this today!
There are some superficial similarities but musically they are pretty different. John was all about tight structures and powerful hooks where Sean appears more into long meandering sections and jammy stuff.
I love so much the creativity and approach of Les with the vintage basses. This EKO Bass sounds so wet, so thin small and hollow, empty, but with alot of overtones, the flat strings + the tone he gets and how he plays brings out alot of plasticity and a wet sound. Sounds almost like the modern Uke Basses with rubber strings. And if you think about it, it's to cover Pink Floyd, and a song that was from the 60's. It has absolutely everything in favor of making sense to me, the tone, the approach. It's so alien but fits so well. Thank you Les, thank you for making something so unique and that makes so much sense. Also, sounds amazing, i bet it live must be a gift from heaven to embrace all these textures. Great stuff.
Cosmic! I loves me some psychedelia, and this here is it. I'm afraid I'm too old to trip but I'd imagine this to really generate some wicked eyelid movies under that influence. I came of age on "Cid" (and Pink Floyd bootlegs of "Saucerful or Secrets"). This does the Floyd of those times real honor.
As far as I'm concerned, this is THE definitive cover version of Astronomy Domine. On top of the lovely vocal harmonies from Sean and Les, and a stellar drum performance, Sean's guitar solo is a masterpiece. So melodic, so beautiful.
I will have to upload the tribute band, The Machine, from their late 90s recording titled Live In New York. Holy shit.... It's cranked to 11 and they kill it. This is the 2nd best I've heard though, and I love les.
I wonder what Les Claypool thinks about writing and hanging out with the genetic offspring of the greatest rock artist of all time. I wonder if it blows his mind.
I usually don't like when people cover Syd Barrett because most people aren't able to capture Syd's brilliance, but this is the best cover of Astronomy Domine I have ever heard. They didn't do a carbon copy of the song, yet they also didn't overplay and make it too progressive or technical. Syd wasn't the best conventional guitarist, but he made up for this by creating his own unique style and sound. Some of my favorite guitarists like Denny Dias, Zappa, and Page, could play circles around Syd, but there's just something about Syd that makes him my all-time favorite.
Sean ripped that lead like a monster! I dig this version a lot! My band used to cover this song but we went a completely different direction with it, more Melvins'ish, slower and lower ;) , but this was aces!
This is what's so good about Floyd songs they improvised a lot when playing, so bands can cover them and make their own version without covering them note for note.
Thank you Sean and Les for showing Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd
Syd Barrett lives on!
I guarantee you more than half the crowd didn't know what they were listening to. Awesome version
If just less than half of the crowd knew what they were listening to, I'd be happy with that.
I bet you're right! Most aren't familiar with vintage (pre-DSOTM) Pink Floyd. You have to be a diehard Floydian.
🤣
I was thinking the same thing. 😅😅
Man we live in the future a jonh lennon son do a cover of a Pink Floyd song are you kidding me? amazing
You're telling me I pink Floyd, Primus and Beatles fan here! Nearly shat myself when I found this, check out "south of reality" their new album
I kow bruh its just amazing im a big fan of barret it would be proud of this @@theflightlessbutdankkiwi3820
@@brandonhofmann5850 syd would not be proud,
@@akashaiz8815 not just any pink floyd song either .. a very early one from when they sounded alot more like something John Lennon would right
@@akashaiz8815 elaborate?
The music of Syd Barrett shines on...........well done.
R.I.P Syd Barrett & R.I.P Richard Wright
Magnificent rendition of this classic Pink Floyd song! And a very fine solo by Sean Lennon too!
A acid trip with Syd Lennon!!
sean even did the hand gestures syd barret did when singing "WOOOO OOOO OOO OO"
barret would be so proud of this
Yup! Notice that first thing.....thought to myself, "He's seen the video that Syd and the Floyd did."
Ahahahahahah yes
In my mind: Oh fuck John imitate Syd!
I really like this collaboration.
I would like to think that Syd would approve of this version.
Connect to: Beatles, Syd Barrett's Floyd... Wow this is great!!! Even King Crimson's Court elsewhere on TH-cam
Syd bysyd Court is also on their album.
There's a nod to the Beatles "Across the Universe" in Echos too.
well, lennon did not miss the spirit of the song, by any means. i am impressed. he has his dads talent.
he's got that feeling! John and Syd must be proud of him! R.i.p John Lennon and Syd Barret!
This is the closest we will get between a John Lennon and Syd Barrett collaboration
I keep thinking that Sean has the voice that John Lennon wanted to have. Such clarity and pureness. Already love early pink Floyd so I'm happy to find this today!
you're kidding, right?
Sean can shred for real.
Wow . I had no idea Sean was even in a band , or even knew he was a very good guitarist !😳😵💫😊
Wow- Sean nailed that lead guitar part. Very impressive and a great surprise for me.
Way better guitarrist than the old man...
@@JJamesLow666 Better for us,but what about song writing..!??
@@JJamesLow666 why do you need to compare?
Sean is like a modern era John!!! sound so similar and despite is an old song the innovative spirit is there...
There are some superficial similarities but musically they are pretty different. John was all about tight structures and powerful hooks where Sean appears more into long meandering sections and jammy stuff.
He's a much better guitarist than John ever was. Go Sean!
Syd would have to proud of this.
It’s so good.
Sean and Les
Are an Incredible duo.
This band just
Rips.
amazing cover.... this group is something special
Well, Pink Floyd recorded Piper at the Gates of Dawn at the same time that The Beatles recorded Sgt Pepper. Maybe this was meant to happen.
Six years and I've never seen this? I'm digging out my old PF vinyl right now!
Wow this fucking RULES. My fave Floyd song and undoubtedly the best cover version i've heard.
one of the best songs from "piper" still grooving
all, in "piper" is ... best ! :)
I’m impressed with Sean
My God... What a music project!!!!!! Wonderful
Dare I say, I think John would have absolutely loved this and would be very proud
An honourable and respectful cover of a classic. Nice job guys!
What an awesome cover ! I love the lead that Sean plays...great tone
Sean and Dweezil! Two of the luckiest kids in the world and made good use of it. Bravo!
I saw them preform in hollywood and got in the theater just after they finished preforming this. I will never forgive myself.
I first heard the original in 1971, and it is a treasure to me. I love this version, it is reverent, and a fine tribute.
Have you heard the live version on ummagumma? That’s the best version in my opinion
@@babylemonade2868 Oh yeah, that is where I first heard it. Smoked pot for the first time that night-worst weed I ever smoked, but the music......
I was fortunate enough to have seen them in concert in Hollywood.
Kudos. It's not easy to pull off a Syd Barrett cover and make it sound good.
Killed it! I want to hear them do Corporal Kleg next!
Nice version, hits nearly all the bits. You can tell, they are held by the spell, such respect is so correct.
i saw them live at Irving Plaza nyc, best show i have ever attended, and this is the best cover i have heard of this song.
clarese portofino voivod does a good version
Tommy Tucker they butcher the lyrics
Tommy Tucker
Theres no deepness in voivods. This version bringing us back to artistic era, a genuune psychedelic feel.
This is really great, ❤ and señor drummer, damn on the cans man!
Sad more people aren't watching this.
The best thing that I've seen in a long time💜
It's too derivative and I don't have a phone.
I don't have a fucking phone xD @@Tri5te55a
I've had The Claypool Lennon Delirium stuck in my car CD player. Don't seem to mind.
Great cover smart movement..!Greetings from Greece
Sid and John somehow live again through Sean and Les! Good Gods YES!!!
heard this a few yrs. ago......now on headphones listening...gets better with age..
and the madcap laughed
;~)
misterjohn john
The squeaking door will always squeak,
Two up, two down we'll never meet...
...At the man on the border
Eternal masterpiece
Sean is a great guitar player!
I'm not any good , but that was impressive.
Outstanding Red Leader! This was like a dream come true! Loved every moment. Thanks for this. Top 5 Floyd songs easily.

Great stuff.
Damn Sean can actually shred!!!’ I dig it.
John Lennon & Syd Barrett would be proud 🥲
I love Pink Floyd, and I admit this is the best rendition out there. Props to Lennon's son.
Try listening to Voi-vod’s version on the Nothingface album. That’s the best cover of that song I think I’ve ever listened to.
Oh my stars
I’m digging this
Cosmic! I loves me some psychedelia, and this here is it. I'm afraid I'm too old to trip but I'd imagine this to really generate some wicked eyelid movies under that influence. I came of age on "Cid" (and Pink Floyd bootlegs of "Saucerful or Secrets"). This does the Floyd of those times real honor.
Loving every second of This. Thanks Les ,Sean the whole band. Rad
wooo sean is a great guitarrist!
james reinolds
Yeah i agree. That melodical progression... Damn its really hard to come up with that kinda dimensional imagination.
ricric villanueva not really, considering Barrett already laid out the concept and progression.
I'm amazed. Didn't know this version. Astronomy Domine is my favorite Floyd song
Awesome Again, Saw them In Seattle last year, Best Show Id ever seen in my entire life..
What a brilliant cover!
As far as I'm concerned, this is THE definitive cover version of Astronomy Domine. On top of the lovely vocal harmonies from Sean and Les, and a stellar drum performance, Sean's guitar solo is a masterpiece. So melodic, so beautiful.
Can not agree more with your comment. Brilliance indeed!
Voivod's version of it was great
It hasn't supplanted the original for me, but it is fantastic and executed with a rare level of professional care.
I will have to upload the tribute band, The Machine, from their late 90s recording titled Live In New York. Holy shit.... It's cranked to 11 and they kill it. This is the 2nd best I've heard though, and I love les.
Wow! Gave me chills!
Excellent cover right up there with Voivod's!
I do feel Sean is a bit of a musical moral compass for us.
The Floyd would be proud of this cover. It improves on the original
You should play: Lucifer Sam too
You know this is not their account right?
1:30 he did the Syd Barrett arm thing.
Ahahahahah exactly
He watched the video
That was great!!!!🎸🎸🎸🥁
Is it just me or do Seans vocals sound treated ? Great performance, love the King Crimson/Barrett era Floyd covers
me too :,)
I think there’s a lo-fi delay on the vocals. I wouldn’t say treated, but definitely not just clean vocal.
It's an intentional effect. Sounds like a chorus and a fast delay.
I wonder what Les Claypool thinks about writing and hanging out with the genetic offspring of the greatest rock artist of all time. I wonder if it blows his mind.
Lol why that’s Les Claypool
Perfect performance of classics

Saw them and they were amazing!
Gorgeous Version.
amazing. truly.

Guy in dead shirt and girl with flower crown are having a blast ;)
I saw that!
That's at 1:49! Neat!
Brilliant ...
muito feliz em encontrar isso, pqp
Hey that was cool
Superbe version. Beaucoup de talent !
This is what's so good about Floyd songs they improvised a lot when playing, so bands can cover them and make their own version without covering them note for note.
They only did that with Syd in the band.
@@redacted2275 And with David!
Un Cover impresionante
Don't forget the drummer, he kicks freckling ass...
This collaboration is huge but most people won't experience it
Syd Lennon? Yes, that will be my son's name
Genial
This is pure dope, it does not get any better then this
This is exactly why I bought my tickets
amazing
Well done & proper.
Awesome!
We need more of this music...this rocks I don’t care if it is a cover
maybe this non-noisy version of astronomy domine if Hans Keller would have liked it
Great cover !!!!
Wow, I was not aware of this, its fucking fantastic
Wow, well done.
Muy buen cover
Syd Barrett el diamante en bruto de Pink Floyd sin el la música no sería igual
