the way Syd and the band stood out from the crowd was unreal, the music was other worldly at the time, and hearing them play while tripping must have been like a door had been opened to another world, what a band, long live Pink Floyd !!!
@@fredzep01 First of all, if you're interested in communicating and having others hear you, don't start off by insulting them :) It's the first rule of communication. By the time this film was made Syd was out of the band unfortunately because of his illness. David had taken over. Thanks
@@pdadamsMusic First off, you're the one who came across blunt to begin with, your comment seemed a lot like a smartarse dig to be honest, because it's overtly clear Syd is in the video.. Brother, I think it might be you who is lacking in the communication department, do you really mean to say Syd isn't in the video ? because I'll think you'll find it's self-evident Syd is in the video... So Mr communication man, in my original post It was abundantly clear I was talking about early Pink Floyd as a whole and not just this video alone....
In 69-70, i was a little do nothing when i was 4-5 years old. My parents got me infected with the Pink Floyd addiction. Now in 2023 i still feel the urge to listen to Pink Floyd. Going back to 69-70, feeling young again as a little boy who was trying to sing the lyrics without any english word in my vocabulary. The addiction is still raging on.
I saw PF so many times in London back in the late 1960s and early 70s. The London Roundhouse and the Middle Earth were the best venues back then as they were both so laid back. I have tickets to see Nick Mason here in Brisbane in September 2023 and talk about a trip down memory lane. Def an experience that is never going to be repeated. As I hit 70 this year (and still trucking) it is with some sadness that we have lost so many friends on the way including Syd and Richard and yet part of the love they shared with us is still here in the music. What a privilege to have lived through the last 60 years with so much of the soundtrack to my life provided by PF. Outstandingly beautiful and uplifting, Thank you guys you lit the light that illuminated many. OXO
Pink Floyd definitely was and still is part of the soundtrack of my life - and all the different circumstances and situations I’ve been (and still go) through. It’s kind part of who I am… Even the evolution of their musical style in a way matches my life evolution.
"I don't care if the sun don't shine and I don't care if nothing is mine and I don't care if I'm nervous with you, I'll do my loving in the winter." - Syd Barrett
@@toleman254 To be honest, he is right, it is of course LSD music which tragically meant the mental illness for Syd Barret and many others...Luckily PF evolved so much after those very early psychedelic days, and THAT'S WHY we're talking about their music. Not because of this era.
@@handebarlas6248This era is my favorite era of Pink Floyd. When Syd left Pink Floyd, it wasn't Pink Floyd any longer. This is why I am talking about their music. For its time it was really groundbreaking.
Syd was a very unique performer. It is very sad, but I understand why they had to move on without him. I do feel that Syd inspired the rest of the group to go on, since he opened everyone’s minds!
He certainly did! Few documentary about Syd and Floyd. All the members say there entire career and there albums after Syd all had a touch of Syd within them. Shine on you crazy diamond was wrote about Syd, he also randomly turned up the a recording of the track too and not one member recognised him at first because he was fat, lost his hair. If there was no Syd there would be no PF RIP Syd Barrett
Pink Floyd moved on after Syd was gone and it improves the musicality a lot. David Gilmore put his stamp on the group and Pink Floyd became what it is. Lyrics are important but 99 percentage of the non English speaking community couldn't understand it but they enjoyed the magnificent sound of the Group. Roger Waters thought always in opposite directions but in this case he was wrong. Pink Floyd was and is always successful and all 5 musician contributes their part to the success. This video showed how it started and l enjoy it very much.
Few days ago i chatted with Ian Barret the nephew od Syd.I can't believe.What a blessing.He wished me luck.I told him that because of Syd I started to Play on instruments.
Gestern auf ARTE eine Doku über Syd gesehen. Sehr traurig. Man hätte ihn nicht so allein lassen dürfen. Seine Band-Kollegen haben sich nicht gerade ritterhaft ihm gegenüber verhalten, in der Zeit, in der es Syd nicht gut ging. Syd hat unser Herz für immer tief berührt. Er lebt ewig, durch seine wunderbare Musik. Danke Syd! 🎶🎼🎵
Isn’t it a shame we all can’t just enjoy the music and everything our world has to offer! Politicians have to get the common people into things we all don’t want! I was in the U.S.Army Infantry In 89 And could sense a war coming. Vietnam vets told me we don’t train this hard unless something big is coming! I decided not to reup in the Army. It wasn’t too much later I was getting calls to rejoin. But I didn’t want to go to a war ! Sure enough the powers that be had us in something I felt we shouldn’t be in! Happy to hear your an early Floyd fan! Peace from someone that wanted no part of harming anyone! Syd Barrett is a genius and it’s cool the time he had in music!
Im 70 and I never thought we would get to so easily enjoy all this great music from the dawn of our modern culture. I lost two decent album collection's in my life and it really takes a chunk out of you...then TH-cam and all the great music from earlier timers at our fingertips.. I've been 0n computers since 71 (aiming howitzers and small missiles_)and this stuff is such a treat. ...btw saw them in Germany in 72 and 74 (DSOTM b4 released!) and 2x later. Those concerts were my generation's cultural High Mass. Believe it! Peace and keep smiling
I wish they’d have stayed a progressive pop band - their sound like Remember a Day, Paintbox, See-Saw and much of the first LP is drenched in a kind of lost-in-the-woods, trippy melancholy.
@@MrMusicbyMartin Yes, I agree. As good as DSOTM and WYWH are, there's a kind of lightness to the meandering sound of everything up until then, which reaches its culmination in "Echoes." After Obscured by Clouds, Rick Wright switched from Hammond organ, which was so integral to their sound (in the way he used it), to synthesizers, and that was one of the reasons for the change in approach. The early Floyd work is entirely unique, even when doing straight rock. Look for the WNEW studio session jam of The Embryo. (1969, I think.) It'll knock your socks off.

They were the first live band I ever saw which was at the Sunderland Locarno in 1969. It cost 10 shillings and they blew me away. There’s actually no one like them.
@@seamonkey000001 Yes there was the bowling Alley on the ground floor and upstairs you had a dance hall and night club. A local fella called Jeff Docherty got into promoting and managed to get some great bands there. From ‘69 to ‘71 I saw Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Free, Family, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ten Years After amongst others. Others who played in that time were The Who, The Faces, King Crimson it was a magical time.
That’s another whole thing, while their first few albums didn’t sell as well on their initial release, they became quite famous for great live shows with superior sound and effects of any band in its time. I remember hearing that they had the loudest and clearest PA of any band at the time! By the way, all those old albums eventually sold a LOT AFTER they became famous! I first discovered Floyd in ‘77, when Animals came out. Very soon, I had collected every album they made previously!! STILL the BEST band ever 50 years later!
Saw them at Kitson College, Leeds. 1967 playing in the canteen. Who’d have thought I’d be watching this on an iPad in 2023, and still enjoying it. (God it was 55years ago.)
All I can say is Without Syd Barrett, there Never would have been a Pink Floyd!! He took Rock music in a Direction Nobody Ever Seen or Heard up to that point!! RIP SYD BARRETT!!
@@zombywoof9188 It's hard too say, because if Syd has stayed, they may have made something even more amazing than Dark Side, but I think Syd leaving and his mental acid breakdown inspired a lot of the dark side of the moon, all the madness aspects, the brain damage track, the pressures of life, DSOTM was highly influenced by their connection and coming of with Syd, So I think that answers the question the reason they realized their potential after Syd was because they finally had time too reflect on Syd and themselves. If there was no Syd, there would be no Dark Side , that is a fact 100%, No Syd, No Pink Floyd at all, they all go too architect school and graduate and do architecture the rest of their lives. Syd synonymous with Floyd, with out Syd you get no Floyd lol
My appreciation for early Pink Floyd has only grown over the years. Always loved the music, only now seeing how far ahead of the rest of their discrography this stuff was. It's got all the later Pink Floyd stuff but it isn't drawn out as much. All the cool ideas come and go quickly in these days.
Спасибо тем, кто собрал и подарил нам эти кадры с любимой группой и неземной красоты гармоничной музыкой, которая надолго в сердце тех, кто любит высокий рок и не изменяет ему вот уже 50 лет! ❤❤❤😊👋👋👋👋👋👋
I have noticed every member of Pink Floyd deservedly got lots of praises, except Nick Mason, I really love what Nick always did since the beginning.. He also left his mark greatly. Much love to Nick
I am a true and eternal Piper fan, but Saucerful of Secrets is a remarkable album. It's wild they were able to pull something that strong out of the disarray and confusion of their late sixties psychdrama.
Me too! In fact, I told other students in my High School that I owned every PF album up to DSOTM and many did not even know that PF had any albums before DSOTM!

Saw them in 1968 at St Marys College Twickenham UK. 200 people in a hall. they introduced the new thing called surround sound ( Basically a speaker in each corner of the hall - Fab X
This footage is absolutely priceless and epic, especially since we get to see songs and performances seen nowhere else. Richard Wright is seen doing far more vocals than credited on record liner notes.
What am I missing? Sid was strange. Maybe that is why I never got into Pink Floyd until the 80's. To each His own. Feel Bad that He went out there cause He could have been great.
Definitely, Rick should have been next in line to be the lead singer, but his singing and lyrics were subpar! I hate to say that, because I love Rick as a founding member who always gave us the great keyboards and backing vocals to MANY Floyd songs! He was just never meant to be the leader! That’s sad to say, but that’s the truth!
@@firecracker8071The sad part was that music took a turn, and not into the hippie lyrics anymore! He had a great voice, but it was too weak to go into the 1970s!! He was great as a backup singer, or when he sang duets with Dave, like in “Echoes”!!
Trying to base yourself to continue as another “Syd”, was an impossible task! I feel for Rick, he tried, but who could be another Syd??? By the time he tried to do it, it was already out of style!
Plenty of people like/liked Syd. The band did too, but when gigging pays the bills and your lead guitarist prevents you from gigging, you have to move on. They still liked Syd. David produced two of his albums, and then the band wrote a whole album about him.
I love Syds direction for the band, they followed him because he was a different direction from anything heard before.They gave him his due respectively in the music they made post Sid.
yez im an old man , and am amazed that i can watch wat i want when i want wat a gift, the sixty's were magic, it was so new , and complex, i miss it so, and me green courderoy elephant bell bottom pants ,
God, imagine being at one of these early performances that were happening in relatively small clubs throughout Europe. I wish I was there! Absolutely insane and amazing how the people are just enjoying the music, dancing in a trance to the hypnotic sound of The Pink Floyd. I want a time machine...✌️👏👏❤️❤️🦋
This is all before I became aware of Pink Floyd. Where Was I?? I started playing drums in 1964 in the States. This video is remarkable, very interesting, educational and well produced. It shows Syd very well (i loved it) and David coming in. From the beginning, they have been a great band. It's a shame that there are very few, if any video interviews with just Syd. A great, creative and wonderful singer and musician. RIP Syd 🎶🎶🎶♥
Greetings to you from the Netherlands !! Maybe I'm a little younger because I remember my dad listening to their records, and "Another brick in the wall" stuck in my memory, and when the album was released, I was only 5 years old, but I was able to choose and play music from the record player completely independently. It started when I was 4, and so on until now. August 7th, I'm 49 years old, but I will listen to Pink Floyd as long as I live. The brilliant mind of Sid Barrett is for us. gave everyone a big gift and eternal thanks and glory to him. By the way, I had the crazy luck to come across the first two at a record exchange, that is the double album, Piper at the gates of down + you know. The serial number of the record is 002, which I consider crazy luck.And I had the honor of watching them live more than 30 times. Those who have never been will never know what a musical spectacle is, especially "Pulse".Still is hard to tell which is the best live show of them.Greetings !!! R.I.P Sid Barrett .🍄🍀🎸💎🎶🌗🕒🍀 ♥
SONO UNA ECCELLENTE BAND E LO SONO ANCORA E RIMARRANNO TALI NELLA STORIA DEL SECONDO NOVECENTO. TANT'È CHE SONO STATI ANNOVERATI COME " P A T R I M O N I O D E L L ' U M A N I T A '.

Barrett-era Pink Floyd was the greatest Psychedelic Rock band of all time. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn & Saucerful Of Secrets are their only albums I ever really cared for. Of course, every album they released in the 60's and 70's is amazing - I just never felt spiritually connected to any of their work the way I do their first two albums.
Pink Floyd- all of the musicians and sound engineers and visual/stage tech. associates of the productions that were their studio music, live shows, and film adaptations- left their mark on Rock and Cultural History. I am proud to call Pink Floyd my favorite Art-Rock Band of all Rock bands- of ALL BANDS actually. At several moments in my life the lyrics and music of Pink Floyd was all that held me here on Earth, when it has often been difficult for me to stay here with the rest of humanity... Thank you Pink Floyd😘
@@antoniozuquete5068 Zepplin is a great band but sounds a lot like many other rock bands of the time. Delete them from history and I don't think it changes future music much.
Great, love Pink Floyd 67-73 the best. Grateful Dead 68-74 also my favorite band. Wish Pink Floyd were as gererous as the Dead and release all their concerts for free, they have made enough $$$$.
The Dead concerts are not free anymore, at least the higher quality ones that were taped from the soundboard: they release one concert every quarter for about $25. First called Dick's Picks, now called Dave's Picks. I agree, though, 1968-74 was a great time, especially pre-Donna, although Pigpen's toy piano and endless scats could be distracting.
If it were'nt for Syd they would never have formed, he led the path to get them started and now they are greatest band to ever exist, Rest in Peace Syd and thankyou for what you created.
So true. I don't think he's ever gotten the credit he deserves. I don't consider "The Final Cut" to be an actual "Pink Floyd" album solely because Richard had nothing to do with it. It's just a Roger Waters solo album with David and Nick. -
yes. He seemed to drum by having, like the Doors had their own way too but based on latino boogie polyrhythms) an almost polyrhythm thing happening based upon a straight roll round the kit.. bum-tum tum tum, roompitty poom poom poom poom (set controls is the perfect example of his 'pan-rhythm' roll)... and everything through much of their history echoed that, till the almost 'funk' edge got added to the mix on Echoes and Dark Side's time.. But was still just accented upon that same straight round the kit roll really. huh? huh? huh? lol
Being a fan of Pink Floyd for 40 years, I thought a lot about: what's Sid Barrett's main contribution into the group?. This question arises because, paradoxically, the post-Barrett music of PF has little in common with Barrett's one in style and form, but, nevertheless, everyone feels the invisible presence of Barrett and his huge impact. Now, perhaps, I would phrase it as: he taught them to be unusual, to get out of the ordinary. After him they couldn't compose trivial things - he put them on a higher level of creativity
Well said. If somebody would have asked me to define the Barrett era, I would have said "it's garbage". But when I read your comment I realized you're absolutely right and maybe I should have another listen from that perspective.
@Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens pink floyd were unique and great because they never stopped pushing the boundaries, but they underachieved unlike a lot of less talented bands who reached thier zenith but with pink floyd they gave people an insight into what they could have been if syd had stayed on board. as it was though pink floyd were a great band but they could have been so much better.
Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens it's probably not a good idea to tell you this, but see, each individual is a world of its own, an ensemble of people making music together makes for a set of individuals (of worlds) building a world collectively... ever heard about chemistry among people? ... so chemistry... this is when it gets delicate. This here is psychedelic era rock. It has an hermetic side to it. It was totally pertinent at the time because everybody was into psychedelics. The whole period was producing originality all around, because it was the FREEDOM era and experimentation was allowed and even necessary. originality and greatness where synonymous. , the music of this period, all the psychedelic rock era has an hermetic side to it and dogmatic mindsets can not enter in.
All of this quite deserved gushing love and amazement for Syd, Rick, Roger and David, but how about a shout out to Nick Mason who was always there to hold it all down so masterfully? I haven't checked lately but last time I did, Nick was the only one of them to appear on every record and live performance...agreed he was/is no Neil Peart, but he was/is quite unique.
Syd Barrett was an outstanding rhythm guitarist I've never heard anyone play like him he had a unique style so sad thinkimg what he would have went on to do... And I've heard Rick Wright say he was never really into drugs but by watching this he looks high as hell through alot of this nick mason too awesome music tho
my 2 cents.. there are (were, unfortunately) MANY pink floyds. Syd was a genious not a vegetable man, even in Opel period and after.. Samadhi, or something like that. God bless them all, anyway
Grew up on the newer Pink floyed, then because of the album relics went way back to the early years, the sid barret years and fell in love all over again and now listen to their classic rock with new ears💜
Set the Controls is such a quality song. Laid the foundations for Echoes. They all contribute in equal measure to an equal goal - atmosphere. Both incredible tracks.
Best compilation I've ever seen in my life! Their music stands the test of time and still moves people today, me being included. I've been searching all I can to learn more about them and more from them. They've touched me in such a way that no band or singers have before. Thanks so much to whoever put this together. It's literally made my day so much better today. Pink Floyd will forever and a day be the BEST ROCK BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!
My old friend’s father saw them with Syd at Winterland in San Francisco in 67. The only human I’ve ever met who actually saw him play live. Of course I had tons of questions. Unfortunately all he could really tell me is they were really loud, and they sounded great, and the acid they took before the show was really good. 😂
@@ezekielbrockmann114 Personal choice, I did it loads in my 20s and was my drug of choice for around 8 years... Its all about set and setting, where you do it and who you do it with whilst acknowledging the ritual aspect. One of the times I used it in a less shamanic way was at Disney Land in Paris, was pretty funny and a great memory to look back on. Now I'm in my 40s, observing life in all its forms and constantly being inspired by the psychedelic/spiritual plains of consciousness and creativity I believe in ritual much more and how everything we do should be part of our personal ritual through this lifetime. I'm so grateful and humble for every experience I've had and wouldn't be me if I hadn't of experienced these things. I thank spirit for being able to channel the chemical compound to Albert Hoffman when it did, that was incredible.
Is crazy, i just went to see RW, and for me was all, everything in a concert, and when i watch this shows back in the days, i can literally feel their energy, is shocking, they are unique, and they will live in our minds and hearts, for the eternity, love to pink floyd for ever
By acknowledging there is a writer to a song? Perhaps you could elaborate? The joke to me is that 'which member of the band' is writing this lyric... but the punchline is that its 'which part of syd' is the one writing this lyric? Syd knows. Its something he sings out to the audience but he knows.
The story is that Syd was on his way out of the band, as due to his unreliability and mental issues the other members had already decided to replace him with Gilmour. They just didn't have the guts to face him and tell him directly as at that point he was the main songwriter for PF, and so they needed to keep him in the dark about what was going on. You know, keep the hits coming. But I think Syd knew what was coming his way, and that was kind of like a fare thee well song for him.
@@bryanjackson8917 I don't think it was quite as harsh as that. From what I've read, they tried to keep him on board for as long as they could, but it became impossible eventually. They always looked after him after he's left the band - made sure he got his royalties et. My guess would be that Syd saw his exit from the band coming because of how he was/wasn't functioning himself. He was messed up, but he was still an intelligent guy.
A haunting reminder that this was the last song recorded with Syd under PF. Almost a question to himself about every song that was to follow? “And the sea isn’t green. And I love the queen. And what is exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?” These last lines IMO are almost a somber sign off from Syd, possibly hinting at his changing opinions and lifestyle that brought about his exit from the band. Something that still resonates with those remaining to this day I should expect.
As for those who need to make a point of "The Gilmour version of P. Floyd is better!" I prefer the Gilmour PF also, but, i don't need to display my ego in a case like this. We are talking about Pink Floyd, and if not for Syd, there would be no Floyd... Let's consider a discussion about "Rock Music," you may not like Elvis, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry, but even so, you cannot disregard their importance and deny that without them the rock music you love today may not exist at all. Syd put Pink Floyd on the map. He deserves some respect.
Quite rightly! and let's not forget Jerry Lee Lewis,who was crucified by prudes + religious zealots.I prefer early Floyd it trips more! like lsd over mushrooms,Syd was awesome, others caught up in ever increasing ego like most celeb-artists(few escape. Dylan,p.newman but not many) thanks for remembering Syd!
I'm actually not a big fan of any of the albums after obscured by the clouds. I think 67 - 72 was their most creative and interesting period. Looking forward to seeing Nick Mason play in a few days!
Yes, you are right, but gilmour's music is more armonic and for myself is another level of music, it relax your boody, it is like a drug that down anxiety
The Psychedelia of Syd Barrett was very much...Far Out! But the mindful, emotional, domination of Gilmour was like nothing like we'd ever heard before. Gilmour 100%!
Something uniquely magical about Syd's influence and sound. Creative lyrical Waters and indulgent musical Gilmour frission that commercialized their sound later got them to another place but never back to the garden. And they missed him..
I always said the true Pink Floyd was Syd. Imagine if he was still in the band. There would be nobody and I mean nobody to compare to them. Syd was WAY ahead of his time
Damn! Syd was fantastic! It's easy to forget that! The future generations need to see the evidence, the seeds that sprouted "dark side" etc... awesome Syd contributions!
Yeah, I know... The CCR reunion band I saw at the Casino 10 years ago, without John Fogerty still CCR, and Paul McCartney's newest album is still The Beatles. Period
A great tribute to a great band before they became the Roger Waters band. Love all of their stuff up to Wish You Were Here. 4 great musicians collaborating up until then. Thanks for the memories. RIP, Syd & Rick.
Pretty fair statement there. And yeah man I agree. 1970-1975 was their golden period of mutual workable collaboration before it became a Waters gross-fest. Some spots here and there on Animals aren't too bad, but that basically breaks down to the musical interludes sans Waters singing/spewing for a grand total of maybe 15 mins worth of that album lol.
@@philhawley1219 That's what a lot of people, including myself, think of Animals. But it is something that grows on you, and you come to realize how good it is. You come to realize it is actually a masterpiece. Probably one of the most underrated albums of all time.
I'm glad that thanks to modern technology, we can somehow reach back to what used to be. We can see how it was then, what they did then, how they did it. Just a few years ago, such a digital journey was not possible.
Roger Keith Barrett (Cambridge, 6 de enero de 1946- Ibídem, 7 de julio de 2006), conocido como Syd Barrett, fue un músico británico conocido por haber sido el líder, cantante, guitarrista y compositor de la banda inglesa Pink Floyd en su primer y exitoso álbum The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Tres años después de la fundación de Pink Floyd, Barrett dejó la banda debido a problemas con las drogas, en especial el LSD, e intentó una breve carrera en solitario que fructificó en dos álbumes, tras los cuales se retiró, recluyéndose desde entonces en la casa de su madre. Pink Floyd sobrevivió a su pérdida, pero la enfermedad mental de Barrett tuvo un profundo efecto en las letras de sus nuevos líderes, Roger Waters, y el sustituto con la guitarra de Barrett, David Gilmour, alcanzando bajo su batuta sus mayores éxitos (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals y The Wall) con temas muchas veces inspirados en la desintegración de su antiguo líder. Está considerado como una figura capital para el desarrollo del rock de los años 1970, siendo una influencia clara para artistas como David Bowie o Marc Bolan.
Why I love Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, by Chris Cornell By Chris Cornell July 06, 2016 Classic Rock Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell recalls the time he discovered Pink Floyd's debut in his landlord's record collection
The psychedelics are groovy. This band took me from a 16 year-old kid to a young man of 21. They dropped me off on the Dark Side of the Moon, and I never really came back. To them. But I sure appreciated the ride.
Diese Songs habe ich 1972 zum ersten Mal gehört - es gab noch keine Videos- sie waren aber angelehnt an die Beatles, Status Quo ect,, aber hatten schon eigene Versionen - höre später....einfach genial!!!!
It's funny how Nick looked a total badass back then..in vests, heavy beard and moustache, longer hair. He looks a college professor now..a total gentleman. You can barely deduce from his looks that the guy was a monster drummer during his days.
I love every era of Pink Floyd. From the early beginning with Syd Barrett, right through to the Division Bell. It was wonderful that the “classic” 4 man Floyd line up could put their differences to one side and reunite briefly and stand on the stage together in 2005 for Live 8. I’m sure Roger and David would have regretted it if they didn’t.
Roger's the problem with their feud. He wanted pink to die. Just because he wanted to move on. Just think if he had gotten his way!! Hes a very self-centered person. All about Roger. Even Nick Mason said as much. He was just diplomatic about it
This sound, in the 60s was really new. Pink floyd was looking for new tones, new soundscape. It was a revolutionary group at that time for that. The influence of Syd and Richard was enormous. David emerged later .... and Roger too, in a another way.
Gilmour was with them from the first few months, he. was a friend who participated in the jams and recordings .In late 68 when Barrett quit the band, Dave Gilmour was already there and knew all the songs. No one knows what Barrett might have grown into if he hadn't been mentally ill but we can see what became of Gilmour, one of the most respected musicians of the era. There would have been no Dark Side of the Moon or anything that came after without Gilmour
I seen Brit Floyd do it live this summer, man when I tell you this was the best experience ever, it was, if Floyd was anything like that. All I can say is Wow. Unfortunately they didn’t play anything from Animals
I saw nick mason do it last night, and man do they do it justice, in fact they do all the songs justice, if you get the chance to go to one if his shows you should absolutely do it
Met them on the Dark Side tour, 1973. Roadies were so high they forgot to set up 1/2 of the quadraphonic sound. During soundcheck (I got backstage too) I asked Nick (Mason) "where are the rear speakers?, He thanked me and radioed to the sound crew who seemingly thought they were going to do this "small" show in Stereo, NOT!!!!! The placement and super "panning and cross panning" effects were so important they had to go back in the trailer and get out 8 more ALTEC Theater sets to fill the small "War Memorial", they sounded great when compared to the huge volumes of say, Purple or Led Zeppelin. Thanks for the coolest clips!
I was a young teenager from Tunis (Tunisia) when I discovered Pink Floyd in the early seventies and I loved and listened to all their music including the albums of Waters later. And this video is a selection of some of their best. I can say that we didn’t need drugs to get high their music was our weed.
Nice! I only owned one Pink Floyd" album. I bought it unheard back in the hippie days of the late 60s because the cover was so perfectly "Psychedelic" I was not at all disappointed. It was exactly what it looked like! "See Emily Play" was a real favorite of mine when I was about 13 years old! Came out in 1967 ..... Ancient History! My son owned "Dark Side Of the Moon". I liked that too, and we often played it while painting our house. However, Syd Barrett's "Pink Floyd" was Dad's "Pink Floyd".
I don’t believe you heard See Emily Play on a album in ‘67! (Unless you are talking about a 45 single)! Maybe in England or another country? The Brits were very uptight about albums vs singles. Often the singles never appeared on albums until MANY years later! (Like some Beatles singles), Just like Zepps Stairway to Heaven was never released as a single, and never charted, (even though it was played extensively), until YEARS later!
Though there are some similarities between the two, the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd and the post Barrett Pink Floyd are two different bands. I love them both and find a comparison between the two to be apples and oranges.
@Sir Tristan You're funny! No one can beat Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. Music nowdays suck. David is a legendary guitarist. These 'old school clowns' are way better than music of nowdays.
@Sir Tristan also, music is subjective, I find gilmour to be alot better than players today, can you name me some examples? Instead of just shitting on my opinion with no substance?
I saw them at a very wet Bath Blues festival in 1970 along with Led Zeppelin (I think!). Watched them through the decades and saw Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets just last week. Epic times.

I was so lucky to be part of the about fifty spectators to watch them in a small club in Antwerp around Feb 69. It was really a cultural shock

I saw them in Stockholm 1967. I was five years and thought it was pure noice.

the way Syd and the band stood out from the crowd was unreal,

like a door had been opened to another world, what a band, long live Pink Floyd !!!

@@pdadamsMusic brother, seek medical attention, or maybe just calm down your drug intake...
@@fredzep01 First of all, if you're interested in communicating and having others hear you, don't start off by insulting them :) It's the first rule of communication. By the time this film was made Syd was out of the band unfortunately because of his illness. David had taken over. Thanks
@@pdadamsMusic First off, you're the one who came across blunt to begin with, your comment seemed a lot like a smartarse dig to be honest, because it's overtly clear Syd is in the video..
Brother, I think it might be you who is lacking in the communication department, do you really mean to say Syd isn't in the video ? because I'll think you'll find it's self-evident Syd is in the video...
So Mr communication man, in my original post It was abundantly clear I was talking about early Pink Floyd as a whole and not just this video alone....
In 69-70, i was a little do nothing when i was 4-5 years old. My parents got me infected with the Pink Floyd addiction. Now in 2023 i still feel the urge to listen to Pink Floyd. Going back to 69-70, feeling young again as a little boy who was trying to sing the lyrics without any english word in my vocabulary. The addiction is still raging on.
Some people say they are a People Person butt I've always like to think of myself as a Pniss Person. Just a gift I guess.
I saw PF so many times in London back in the late 1960s and early 70s. The London Roundhouse and the Middle Earth were the best venues back then as they were both so laid back. I have tickets to see Nick Mason here in Brisbane in September 2023 and talk about a trip down memory lane. Def an experience that is never going to be repeated. As I hit 70 this year (and still trucking) it is with some sadness that we have lost so many friends on the way including Syd and Richard and yet part of the love they shared with us is still here in the music. What a privilege to have lived through the last 60 years with so much of the soundtrack to my life provided by PF. Outstandingly beautiful and uplifting, Thank you guys you lit the light that illuminated many. OXO
Ich habe Nick Mason mit Band letztes Jahr in Leipzig erleben dürfen. Ich war so tief berührt, es war wundervoll. Grüße aus Deutschland.
Groove man ✌
That is so cool you saw them live so many times, Pink Floyd will be one of the greatest bands of all time for eternity.
well said and shared!
Pink Floyd definitely was and still is part of the soundtrack of my life - and all the different circumstances and situations I’ve been (and still go) through.
It’s kind part of who I am… Even the evolution of their musical style in a way matches my life evolution.
"I don't care if the sun don't shine and I don't care if nothing is mine and I don't care if I'm nervous with you, I'll do my loving in the winter." - Syd Barrett
Proper L.S.D. COMPOSED MUSIC. nOTHING SPECTACULAR AT ALL, IN FACT ,SO ORDINARY
We're keep on talkin' about this music after more than 55 years.
I think it seems quite strange, for something "so ordinary"
This reminds me of another old song "I'll do my crying in the rain". Don't remember who sang it. Will check and add in a sec.
@@toleman254 To be honest, he is right, it is of course LSD music which tragically meant the mental illness for Syd Barret and many others...Luckily PF evolved so much after those very early psychedelic days, and THAT'S WHY we're talking about their music. Not because of this era.
@@handebarlas6248This era is my favorite era of Pink Floyd.
When Syd left Pink Floyd, it wasn't Pink Floyd any longer. This is why I am talking about their music. For its time it was really groundbreaking.
Syd was a very unique performer. It is very sad, but I understand why they had to move on without him. I do feel that Syd inspired the rest of the group to go on, since he opened everyone’s minds!
Syd got the idea from lsd. The same effect with magic mushroom from indonesia
The mind opener. Hilarious
He certainly did! Few documentary about Syd and Floyd. All the members say there entire career and there albums after Syd all had a touch of Syd within them.
Shine on you crazy diamond was wrote about Syd, he also randomly turned up the a recording of the track too and not one member recognised him at first because he was fat, lost his hair.
If there was no Syd there would be no PF
RIP Syd Barrett
@@Michael-nb4vr sorry, I disagree! There are HUNDREDS of docs about Syd right here on You Tube, but most just repeat the same stories
Pink Floyd moved on after Syd was gone and it improves the musicality a lot. David Gilmore put his stamp on the group and Pink Floyd became what it is. Lyrics are important but 99 percentage of the non English speaking community couldn't understand it but they enjoyed the magnificent sound of the Group. Roger Waters thought always in opposite directions but in this case he was wrong. Pink Floyd was and is always successful and all 5 musician contributes their part to the success. This video showed how it started and l enjoy it very much.
Few days ago i chatted with Ian Barret the nephew od Syd.I can't believe.What a blessing.He wished me luck.I told him that because of Syd I started to Play on instruments.
What did he told You about syd
Great anecdote, you should use it in your autobiography
Gestern auf ARTE eine Doku über Syd gesehen. Sehr traurig. Man hätte ihn nicht so allein lassen dürfen. Seine Band-Kollegen haben sich nicht gerade ritterhaft ihm gegenüber verhalten, in der Zeit, in der es Syd nicht gut ging. Syd hat unser Herz für immer tief berührt. Er lebt ewig, durch seine wunderbare Musik. Danke Syd! 🎶🎼🎵

Isn’t it a shame we all can’t just enjoy the music and everything our world has to offer! Politicians have to get the common people into things we all don’t want! I was in the U.S.Army Infantry In 89 And could sense a war coming. Vietnam vets told me we don’t train this hard unless something big is coming! I decided not to reup in the Army. It wasn’t too much later I was getting calls to rejoin. But I didn’t want to go to a war ! Sure enough the powers that be had us in something I felt we shouldn’t be in! Happy to hear your an early Floyd fan! Peace from someone that wanted no part of harming anyone! Syd Barrett is a genius and it’s cool the time he had in music!

I've been 0n computers since 71 (aiming howitzers and small missiles_)and this stuff is such a treat.
...btw saw them in Germany in 72 and 74 (DSOTM b4 released!) and 2x later. Those concerts were my generation's cultural High Mass. Believe it! Peace and keep smiling
Man I lost my 50 year collection of Records because someone stole it in it and it tears me up
When Richard and Syd sing it gives me this whimsical, childhood, nostalgic like feeling.
oh yes so good day
Yes the English have a way of doing that for some reason
I wish they’d have stayed a progressive pop band - their sound like Remember a Day, Paintbox, See-Saw and much of the first LP is drenched in a kind of lost-in-the-woods, trippy melancholy.
@Steve Stone LOL. Never tried it but am open to it under the right circumstance.
@@MrMusicbyMartin Yes, I agree. As good as DSOTM and WYWH are, there's a kind of lightness to the meandering sound of everything up until then, which reaches its culmination in "Echoes." After Obscured by Clouds, Rick Wright switched from Hammond organ, which was so integral to their sound (in the way he used it), to synthesizers, and that was one of the reasons for the change in approach. The early Floyd work is entirely unique, even when doing straight rock. Look for the WNEW studio session jam of The Embryo. (1969, I think.) It'll knock your socks off.

They were the first live band I ever saw which was at the Sunderland Locarno in 1969.
It cost 10 shillings and they blew me away.
There’s actually no one like them.
Bloody hell. I used to live in Sunderland 20 years ago and looked this up. It’s the old bowling thing on Newcastle Road. 👍. Brilliant. 👍.
Genius
@@seamonkey000001
Yes there was the bowling Alley on the ground floor and upstairs you had a dance hall and night club.
A local fella called Jeff Docherty got into promoting and managed to get some great bands there.
From ‘69 to ‘71 I saw Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Free, Family, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ten Years After amongst others.
Others who played in that time were The Who, The Faces, King Crimson it was a magical time.
Cool
That’s another whole thing, while their first few albums didn’t sell as well on their initial release, they became quite famous for great live shows with superior sound and effects of any band in its time. I remember hearing that they had the loudest and clearest PA of any band at the time! By the way, all those old albums eventually sold a LOT AFTER they became famous! I first discovered Floyd in ‘77, when Animals came out. Very soon, I had collected every album they made previously!! STILL the BEST band ever 50 years later!
Saw them at Kitson College, Leeds. 1967 playing in the canteen. Who’d have thought I’d be watching this on an iPad in 2023, and still enjoying it. (God it was 55years ago.)
I was born May 1967. I didn't get to see them then.

Very well said mate, Syd was the first responsable for all this success.
@@planetmusic11 if what you said is true, why did they not realize their greatest popularity until after syd was long gone?
Syd Barrett was overrated.
@@zombywoof9188 It's hard too say, because if Syd has stayed, they may have made something even more amazing than Dark Side, but I think Syd leaving and his mental acid breakdown inspired a lot of the dark side of the moon, all the madness aspects, the brain damage track, the pressures of life, DSOTM was highly influenced by their connection and coming of with Syd, So I think that answers the question the reason they realized their potential after Syd was because they finally had time too reflect on Syd and themselves. If there was no Syd, there would be no Dark Side , that is a fact 100%, No Syd, No Pink Floyd at all, they all go too architect school and graduate and do architecture the rest of their lives. Syd synonymous with Floyd, with out Syd you get no Floyd lol
@@jacobanderson2285 NO, just NO !! Stop it ! The BEST part of your corny misguided comment was the last thing you said.....the LOL. Now stop it !!
My appreciation for early Pink Floyd has only grown over the years. Always loved the music, only now seeing how far ahead of the rest of their discrography this stuff was. It's got all the later Pink Floyd stuff but it isn't drawn out as much. All the cool ideas come and go quickly in these days.

Very touching how much they loved and respected Syd, throughout their career. Such an irony that his absence paved the way to superstardom.
I am a true and eternal Piper fan, but Saucerful of Secrets is a remarkable album. It's wild they were able to pull something that strong out of the disarray and confusion of their late sixties psychdrama.
Me too! In fact, I told other students in my High School that I owned every PF album up to DSOTM and many did not even know that PF had any albums before DSOTM!

Syd Barrett was like the human version of the chicken or the egg question.
A philosophical paradox to this day.
Richard Wright was integral to The Floyds early sound also his vocals are classic Pink Floyd.

The best in the music history .
Pink Floyd music will last forever
This footage is absolutely priceless and epic, especially since we get to see songs and performances seen nowhere else. Richard Wright is seen doing far more vocals than credited on record liner notes.
What am I missing? Sid was strange. Maybe that is why I never got into Pink Floyd until the 80's. To each His own. Feel Bad that He went out there cause He could have been great.
Rick is shockingly really good
Definitely, Rick should have been next in line to be the lead singer, but his singing and lyrics were subpar! I hate to say that, because I love Rick as a founding member who always gave us the great keyboards and backing vocals to MANY Floyd songs! He was just never meant to be the leader! That’s sad to say, but that’s the truth!
@@firecracker8071The sad part was that music took a turn, and not into the hippie lyrics anymore! He had a great voice, but it was too weak to go into the 1970s!! He was great as a backup singer, or when he sang duets with Dave, like in “Echoes”!!
Trying to base yourself to continue as another “Syd”, was an impossible task! I feel for Rick, he tried, but who could be another Syd??? By the time he tried to do it, it was already out of style!
David is an extraordinary musician, and so are Richard and Dave...but Syd is unique, absolute genious, no one like him
I totally agree with you. Greetings from São Paulo Brazil
Plenty of people like/liked Syd. The band did too, but when gigging pays the bills and your lead guitarist prevents you from gigging, you have to move on. They still liked Syd. David produced two of his albums, and then the band wrote a whole album about him.

Greetings to you from the Netherlands !! Maybe I'm a little younger because I remember my dad listening to their records, and "Another brick in the wall" stuck in my memory, and when the album was released, I was only 5 years old, but I was able to choose and play music from the record player completely independently. It started when I was 4, and so on until now. August 7th, I'm 49 years old, but I will listen to Pink Floyd as long as I live. The brilliant mind of Sid Barrett is for us. gave everyone a big gift and eternal thanks and glory to him. By the way, I had the crazy luck to come across the first two at a record exchange, that is the double album, Piper at the gates of down + you know. The serial number of the record is 002, which I consider crazy luck.And I had the honor of watching them live more than 30 times. Those who have never been will never know what a musical spectacle is, especially "Pulse".Still is hard to tell which is the best live show of them.Greetings !!! R.I.P Sid Barrett .🍄🍀🎸💎🎶🌗🕒🍀 ♥

Barrett-era Pink Floyd was the greatest Psychedelic Rock band of all time. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn & Saucerful Of Secrets are their only albums I ever really cared for. Of course, every album they released in the 60's and 70's is amazing - I just never felt spiritually connected to any of their work the way I do their first two albums.
Pink Floyd- all of the musicians and sound engineers and visual/stage tech. associates of the productions that were their studio music, live shows, and film adaptations- left their mark on Rock and Cultural History. I am proud to call Pink Floyd my favorite Art-Rock Band of all Rock bands- of ALL BANDS actually.
At several moments in my life the lyrics and music of Pink Floyd was all that held me here on Earth, when it has often been difficult for me to stay here with the rest of humanity... Thank you Pink Floyd😘
"Your records aren't selling here, are you going to do something about it?"

Diz tings must be allpeople property.
@@PeterBalssuweit. They certainly do, they're the 3rd best selling band ever. And the beatles and led zeppelin are far more influential
@@antoniozuquete5068 Zepplin is a great band but sounds a lot like many other rock bands of the time. Delete them from history and I don't think it changes future music much.
Great, love Pink Floyd 67-73 the best. Grateful Dead 68-74 also my favorite band. Wish Pink Floyd were as gererous as the Dead and release all their concerts for free, they have made enough $$$$.
The Dead concerts are not free anymore, at least the higher quality ones that were taped from the soundboard: they release one concert every quarter for about $25. First called Dick's Picks, now called Dave's Picks. I agree, though, 1968-74 was a great time, especially pre-Donna, although Pigpen's toy piano and endless scats could be distracting.
This video or filmographic document is one of the best things I have ever found here in all of this years of TH-cam's history.
If it were'nt for Syd they would never have formed, he led the path to get them started and now they are greatest band to ever exist, Rest in Peace Syd and thankyou for what you created.
Rest In Pieces Syd. He was a great musician.
From the beginning, Richard Wright’s Sound differentiated them as a band.
He was a terribly underrated musician. For me, he absolutely made Wish You Were Here, literally from beginning to end.
And was main voice after Syd. Strange that I have noticed after release of those old videos.
So true. I don't think he's ever gotten the credit he deserves. I don't consider "The Final Cut" to be an actual "Pink Floyd" album solely because Richard had nothing to do with it. It's just a Roger Waters solo album with David and Nick. -
yes.
He seemed to drum by having, like the Doors had their own way too but based on latino boogie polyrhythms) an almost polyrhythm thing happening based upon a straight roll round the kit.. bum-tum tum tum, roompitty poom poom poom poom (set controls is the perfect example of his 'pan-rhythm' roll)... and everything through much of their history echoed that, till the almost 'funk' edge got added to the mix on Echoes and Dark Side's time.. But was still just accented upon that same straight round the kit roll really. huh? huh? huh? lol
@Mas Dito Dude, Animals though... C'mon now. Animals is a goddamn masterpiece. -
Being a fan of Pink Floyd for 40 years, I thought a lot about: what's Sid Barrett's main contribution into the group?.
This question arises because, paradoxically, the post-Barrett music of PF has little in common with Barrett's one in style and form, but, nevertheless, everyone feels the invisible presence of Barrett and his huge impact.
Now, perhaps, I would phrase it as: he taught them to be unusual, to get out of the ordinary.
After him they couldn't compose trivial things - he put them on a higher level of creativity
Согласна.
Just talent and inspiration
no there is the Syd period ! Magic !! After it's progressively becoming muzak !!!
Man, if only Syd could've kept it together after Piper. They never came close to this unique vision of creepy, paranoid, acid wonder again.
Well said.
If somebody would have asked me to define the Barrett era, I would have said "it's garbage". But when I read your comment I realized you're absolutely right and maybe I should have another listen from that perspective.
Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens this is amazing
@Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens pink floyd were unique and great because they never stopped pushing the boundaries, but they underachieved unlike a lot of less talented bands who reached thier zenith but with pink floyd they gave people an insight into what they could have been if syd had stayed on board. as it was though pink floyd were a great band but they could have been so much better.
Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens it's probably not a good idea to tell you this, but see, each individual is a world of its own, an ensemble of people making music together makes for a set of individuals (of worlds) building a world collectively... ever heard about chemistry among people? ... so chemistry... this is when it gets delicate. This here is psychedelic era rock. It has an hermetic side to it. It was totally pertinent at the time because everybody was into psychedelics. The whole period was producing originality all around, because it was the FREEDOM era and experimentation was allowed and even necessary. originality and greatness where synonymous. , the music of this period, all the psychedelic rock era has an hermetic side to it and dogmatic mindsets can not enter in.
@Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens It comes down to taste, my friend
This is the best PF early years documentary In my opinion.
Thank you, for all that music you vive to us, really really thank you PINK FLOYD!!!!!
I always thought, that Pink Floyd were the ultimate, psychedelic band when Syd was with them.
Loved them since 1967.
All of this quite deserved gushing love and amazement for Syd, Rick, Roger and David, but how about a shout out to Nick Mason who was always there to hold it all down so masterfully? I haven't checked lately but last time I did, Nick was the only one of them to appear on every record and live performance...agreed he was/is no Neil Peart, but he was/is quite unique.
Syd Barrett was an outstanding rhythm guitarist I've never heard anyone play like him he had a unique style so sad thinkimg what he would have went on to do... And I've heard Rick Wright say he was never really into drugs but by watching this he looks high as hell through alot of this nick mason too awesome music tho
Rick had a cocaine problem. That's why Roger pushed him out.
There'll be no Pink Floyd without Syd in the early days of the band. His creativity stayed with his comrades.
my 2 cents.. there are (were, unfortunately) MANY pink floyds. Syd was a genious not a vegetable man, even in Opel period and after.. Samadhi, or something like that. God bless them all, anyway
Grew up on the newer Pink floyed, then because of the album relics went way back to the early years, the sid barret years and fell in love all over again and now listen to their classic rock with new ears💜
Set the Controls is such a quality song. Laid the foundations for Echoes. They all contribute in equal measure to an equal goal - atmosphere. Both incredible tracks.
Best compilation I've ever seen in my life! Their music stands the test of time and still moves people today, me being included. I've been searching all I can to learn more about them and more from them. They've touched me in such a way that no band or singers have before. Thanks so much to whoever put this together. It's literally made my day so much better today. Pink Floyd will forever and a day be the BEST ROCK BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!
it is already
Biggest crap I ever listened to! You probably would love a guitarist with one string, out of tune!
@@cirrus1964 One word.... TROLL
@@cirrus1964 F-ing moron. Go back to listening to pop music.
Opinions are like anuses... everyone has one!😆
My old friend’s father saw them with Syd at Winterland in San Francisco in 67. The only human I’ve ever met who actually saw him play live. Of course I had tons of questions. Unfortunately all he could really tell me is they were really loud, and they sounded great, and the acid they took before the show was really good. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
AwesomeSauce! I beleive that was when they were touring with Hendrix. What a lineup!
Acid is never great. It comes in two forms:
An awful feat of endurance and a less awful feat of endurance.
Don't kill the messenger, it's true.
Yeah my Dad saw them play and all he said was that it was really loud haha
@@ezekielbrockmann114 Personal choice, I did it loads in my 20s and was my drug of choice for around 8 years... Its all about set and setting, where you do it and who you do it with whilst acknowledging the ritual aspect. One of the times I used it in a less shamanic way was at Disney Land in Paris, was pretty funny and a great memory to look back on. Now I'm in my 40s, observing life in all its forms and constantly being inspired by the psychedelic/spiritual plains of consciousness and creativity I believe in ritual much more and how everything we do should be part of our personal ritual through this lifetime. I'm so grateful and humble for every experience I've had and wouldn't be me if I hadn't of experienced these things. I thank spirit for being able to channel the chemical compound to Albert Hoffman when it did, that was incredible.
Is crazy, i just went to see RW, and for me was all, everything in a concert, and when i watch this shows back in the days, i can literally feel their energy, is shocking, they are unique, and they will live in our minds and hearts, for the eternity, love to pink floyd for ever
Great compilation. How avant garde they were, the music, the lighting, the visual effects, the cuts. So psychedelic. And so interesting.
"And I'm wondering who could be writing this song". Love that line - the musical equivalent of breaking the fourth wall.
By acknowledging there is a writer to a song? Perhaps you could elaborate? The joke to me is that 'which member of the band' is writing this lyric... but the punchline is that its 'which part of syd' is the one writing this lyric? Syd knows. Its something he sings out to the audience but he knows.
The story is that Syd was on his way out of the band, as due to his unreliability and mental issues the other members had already decided to replace him with Gilmour.
They just didn't have the guts to face him and tell him directly as at that point he was the main songwriter for PF, and so they needed to keep him in the dark about what was going on. You know, keep the hits coming.
But I think Syd knew what was coming his way, and that was kind of like a fare thee well song for him.
@@bryanjackson8917 I don't think it was quite as harsh as that. From what I've read, they tried to keep him on board for as long as they could, but it became impossible eventually. They always looked after him after he's left the band - made sure he got his royalties et. My guess would be that Syd saw his exit from the band coming because of how he was/wasn't functioning himself. He was messed up, but he was still an intelligent guy.
A haunting reminder that this was the last song recorded with Syd under PF. Almost a question to himself about every song that was to follow?
“And the sea isn’t green.
And I love the queen.
And what is exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?”
These last lines IMO are almost a somber sign off from Syd, possibly hinting at his changing opinions and lifestyle that brought about his exit from the band. Something that still resonates with those remaining to this day I should expect.
@@sarahkipps NIce analysis. Didn't know this was the last he recorded with the band. Very poignant.x
greatest band of all time! love them since I was a young boy what is for decades!
I really enjoy the Syd Barrett music. He was very talented. That would have been really awesome to be able to see him in concert. ❤️
出会った時の波長が合った人にしか分からない曲、時空を超えて共鳴できるピンクフロイドの源泉。
As for those who need to make a point of "The Gilmour version of P. Floyd is better!"
I prefer the Gilmour PF also, but, i don't need to display my ego in a case like this.
We are talking about Pink Floyd, and if not for Syd, there would be no Floyd...
Let's consider a discussion about "Rock Music," you may not like Elvis, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry, but even so, you cannot disregard their importance and deny that without them the rock music you love today may not exist at all.
Syd put Pink Floyd on the map. He deserves some respect.
Quite rightly! and let's not forget Jerry Lee Lewis,who was crucified by prudes + religious zealots.I prefer early Floyd it trips more! like lsd over mushrooms,Syd was awesome, others caught up in ever increasing ego like most celeb-artists(few escape. Dylan,p.newman but not many) thanks for remembering Syd!
I'm actually not a big fan of any of the albums after obscured by the clouds. I think 67 - 72 was their most creative and interesting period. Looking forward to seeing Nick Mason play in a few days!
Yes, you are right, but gilmour's music is more armonic and for myself is another level of music, it relax your boody, it is like a drug that down anxiety
Siure he does
Totally agree!
Obscured By Cloud - Magic! Just when I thought I'd heard it all, there is this compilation of GEMS from one of the greatest bands.
The Psychedelia of Syd Barrett was very much...Far Out! But the mindful, emotional, domination of Gilmour was like nothing like we'd ever heard before. Gilmour 100%!
Obscured By Clouds is such an underrated album in the Pink Floyd catalogue.
So is Atom Heart Mother!
Absolutely! The crucial link between Meddle and DarkSide, recorded in 2 sessions, not 6 months. Mudmen!
@@garyfloydfan3369 AHM was before Obscured!
@@garyfloydfan3369 don't mind me ...
underrated by whom??? it always was one of my favorite albums. its pure Psychedelic , U dont expect wide public will love it
Something uniquely magical about Syd's influence and sound. Creative lyrical Waters and indulgent musical Gilmour frission that commercialized their sound later got them to another place but never back to the garden. And they missed him..
I just love the twang of Sid's Tele, like psychedelic cowboy sounds, just splendid!
I always said the true Pink Floyd was Syd. Imagine if he was still in the band. There would be nobody and I mean nobody to compare to them. Syd was WAY ahead of his time
The Four Freshman blew them of the stage in December of 66.
No not really
They all would've been fist fighting.
To see Pink Floyd Playing in front of 6 people on a dance floor is amazing!
😂😁😂
Those 6 people were blessed 😊
NY? The Cheetah Club?
and those dancing were probably girlfriends
Maybe it was staged?
Damn! Syd was fantastic! It's easy to forget that! The future generations need to see the evidence, the seeds that sprouted "dark side" etc... awesome Syd contributions!

,
Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd. Period
Yeah, I know... The CCR reunion band I saw at the Casino 10 years ago, without John Fogerty still CCR, and Paul McCartney's newest album is still The Beatles. Period
younger generations would think syd's contributions were dated, unless they took some LSD
A great tribute to a great band before they became the Roger Waters band. Love all of their stuff up to Wish You Were Here. 4 great musicians collaborating up until then. Thanks for the memories. RIP, Syd & Rick.
Pretty fair statement there. And yeah man I agree. 1970-1975 was their golden period of mutual workable collaboration before it became a Waters gross-fest. Some spots here and there on Animals aren't too bad, but that basically breaks down to the musical interludes sans Waters singing/spewing for a grand total of maybe 15 mins worth of that album lol.
@@wonderbars36 Never thought much of Animals.
@@philhawley1219 That's what a lot of people, including myself, think of Animals. But it is something that grows on you, and you come to realize how good it is. You come to realize it is actually a masterpiece. Probably one of the most underrated albums of all time.
“Animals” is a great album! “Dogs” is a masterpiece and one of Floyd’s best tracks ever!
@@wonderbars36 The first 2 albums were shit, though. Syd was way overrated.
I'm glad that thanks to modern technology, we can somehow reach back to what used to be. We can see how it was then, what they did then, how they did it. Just a few years ago, such a digital journey was not possible.
Roger Keith Barrett (Cambridge, 6 de enero de 1946- Ibídem, 7 de julio de 2006), conocido como Syd Barrett, fue un músico británico conocido por haber sido el líder, cantante, guitarrista y compositor de la banda inglesa Pink Floyd en su primer y exitoso álbum The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Tres años después de la fundación de Pink Floyd, Barrett dejó la banda debido a problemas con las drogas, en especial el LSD, e intentó una breve carrera en solitario que fructificó en dos álbumes, tras los cuales se retiró, recluyéndose desde entonces en la casa de su madre. Pink Floyd sobrevivió a su pérdida, pero la enfermedad mental de Barrett tuvo un profundo efecto en las letras de sus nuevos líderes, Roger Waters, y el sustituto con la guitarra de Barrett, David Gilmour, alcanzando bajo su batuta sus mayores éxitos (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals y The Wall) con temas muchas veces inspirados en la desintegración de su antiguo líder. Está considerado como una figura capital para el desarrollo del rock de los años 1970, siendo una influencia clara para artistas como David Bowie o Marc Bolan.
Gotta love Waters`s mouth and voice ideas 🙂 . Everything they did resonates deeply with my brain and heart
The best decade in modern music! I wish I were born in the 1940s, would have been old enough by this time to see this music live.
Pink Floyd is truly timeless and unique, love it....Soundtrack of my life
Совершенно с вами согласен, Пинк Флойд вне времени!!
Why I love Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, by Chris Cornell

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell recalls the time he discovered Pink Floyd's debut in his landlord's record collection

Soundgarden’s original bassist Hiro Yamamoto and I used to room together. One day I looked through the record collection of the guy that owned the house. I was already aware of Pink Floyd but I’d never seen The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn before. The artwork was so unusual.
I put it on and it sounded a little like they usually did - they made sombre music; the kind of records that people who smoked too much pot listened to - but this was different. It could almost have been a British indie-rock record of the era - which would’ve been the mid-1980s.
It includes some of Pink Floyd’s best-known songs, including Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive, and every song is fantastic. It connects with me in a way that I just can’t describe, creating a very special environment that no other record can achieve. It’s more capable of removing you from wherever you are when you hear it than any other record I know.
I’m also a big fan of the band’s follow-up album, A Saucer Full Of Secrets, but for different reasons. Syd Barrett wrote just one song, Jugland Blues, for that one. But save for Roger Waters’ Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk and the instrumental Interstellar Overdrive, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn was mostly attributable to Syd. I like both of those albums more than the ones Pink Floyd made without Syd, as an arena rock band. I guess I was too afraid of crowds.
Even as an adolescent, I remember when The Dark Side Of The Moon came out in 1973. In America, Pink Floyd were really pushed into your face back then. I knew all of its songs even though I didn’t own the record.
For me, the joy of Pink Floyd was going backwards and discovering what they did before. And the important thing about The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn was the music’s strange juxtaposition - sometimes whimsical and pastoral, but simultaneously desperate and sad. I don’t think I ever found another record which that type of dichotomy worked so well. With Syd Barrett, it never felt like an invention.
After discovering the album that day in Seattle, I’ve bought it several times. The original pressing had See Emily Play but the American one didn’t. One of the editions had this silhouette photograph of the band’s heads and arms on the sleeve. I ended up painting that onto the back of my motorcycle jacket. The image reminded me so well of how the record made me feel.
Love Pipers, one of floyds best albums.
Good story, it is great when people discover PF BEFORE Dark side of the Moon.
I believe that Syd Barrett was a huge influence on Kurt Cobain as well
@@DavidSmith-cz8zq maybe that's why cobain's music sucked ass.
The psychedelics are groovy.
This band took me from a 16 year-old kid to a young man of 21.
They dropped me off on the Dark Side of the Moon, and I never really came back.
To them. But I sure appreciated the ride.
I am here 3/24/2020 and I did alot of psychdelics back in thise days, lol.
Sir Laughs a Lot after all ; you didn’t need education.lol
Too bad shoulda held on for Wish you were here
That was an hour of my life well spent.
Diese Songs habe ich 1972 zum ersten Mal gehört - es gab noch keine Videos- sie waren aber angelehnt an die Beatles, Status Quo ect,, aber hatten schon eigene Versionen - höre später....einfach genial!!!!
It's funny how Nick looked a total badass back then..in vests, heavy beard and moustache, longer hair. He looks a college professor now..a total gentleman. You can barely deduce from his looks that the guy was a monster drummer during his days.
I love every era of Pink Floyd. From the early beginning with Syd Barrett, right through to the Division Bell. It was wonderful that the “classic” 4 man Floyd line up could put their differences to one side and reunite briefly and stand on the stage together in 2005 for Live 8. I’m sure Roger and David would have regretted it if they didn’t.
Roger's the problem with their feud. He wanted pink to die. Just because he wanted to move on. Just think if he had gotten his way!! Hes a very self-centered person. All about Roger. Even Nick Mason said as much. He was just diplomatic about it
This sound, in the 60s was really new. Pink floyd was looking for new tones, new soundscape. It was a revolutionary group at that time for that. The influence of Syd and Richard was enormous. David emerged later .... and Roger too, in a another way.
Gilmour was with them from the first few months, he. was a friend who participated in the jams and recordings .In late 68 when Barrett quit the band, Dave Gilmour was already there and knew all the songs. No one knows what Barrett might have grown into if he hadn't been mentally ill but we can see what became of Gilmour, one of the most respected musicians of the era. There would have been no Dark Side of the Moon or anything that came after without Gilmour
貴重な動画をありがとうございます。
Syd as very good mystery of the pop music! Presence in my chilhood. Your music is continue in a ours hearts.
Poetry Forever...
I would have done ANYTHING to see Echoes performed live. At least I can experience it via TH-cam.... but damn.
echoes is in a completely different album some years after syd left
I seen Brit Floyd do it live this summer, man when I tell you this was the best experience ever, it was, if Floyd was anything like that. All I can say is Wow. Unfortunately they didn’t play anything from Animals
I saw nick mason do it last night, and man do they do it justice, in fact they do all the songs justice, if you get the chance to go to one if his shows you should absolutely do it
Met them on the Dark Side tour, 1973. Roadies were so high they forgot to set up 1/2 of the quadraphonic sound. During soundcheck (I got backstage too) I asked Nick (Mason) "where are the rear speakers?, He thanked me and radioed to the sound crew who seemingly thought they were going to do this "small" show in Stereo, NOT!!!!! The placement and super "panning and cross panning" effects were so important they had to go back in the trailer and get out 8 more ALTEC Theater sets to fill the small "War Memorial", they sounded great when compared to the huge volumes of say, Purple or Led Zeppelin.
Thanks for the coolest clips!
The Beastie Boys ended up buying that quad set up. Used it on their Check Your Head Tour. Still sounded wicked
I was a young teenager from Tunis (Tunisia) when I discovered Pink Floyd in the early seventies and I loved and listened to all their music including the albums of Waters later. And this video is a selection of some of their best. I can say that we didn’t need drugs to get high their music was our weed.
the quality of this, in respect of audio is EXCELLENT! WOW!
Absolutely luv this! From a fan since 1966, such a great find! ☮️💟💜
David Gilmour..The Best..
When I first discovered Pink Floyd. “Wish you were here,” Syd.
Nice!
I only owned one Pink Floyd" album. I bought it unheard back in the hippie days of the late 60s because the cover was so perfectly "Psychedelic" I was not at all disappointed. It was exactly what it looked like! "See Emily Play" was a real favorite of mine when I was about 13 years old! Came out in 1967 ..... Ancient History!
My son owned "Dark Side Of the Moon". I liked that too, and we often played it while painting our house. However, Syd Barrett's "Pink Floyd" was Dad's "Pink Floyd".
I don’t believe you heard See Emily Play on a album in ‘67! (Unless you are talking about a 45 single)! Maybe in England or another country? The Brits were very uptight about albums vs singles. Often the singles never appeared on albums until MANY years later! (Like some Beatles singles), Just like Zepps Stairway to Heaven was never released as a single, and never charted, (even though it was played extensively), until YEARS later!
Though there are some similarities between the two, the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd and the post Barrett Pink Floyd are two different bands. I love them both and find a comparison between the two to be apples and oranges.
Darrylizer1 I was thinking the same, but u really said it well
@@santiagotorres2867 Thanks!
I see your comment as fact, not mere opinion.
Was that a reference to the Barrett song?
I was gonna say. Perhaps that's why they had Roger mime Syd's words for the Apples & Oranges video rather than Dave :P@@michaelsuder3217
David's guitar just added an out of this world element, that dude is just so good at guitar.
@Sir Tristan You're funny! No one can beat Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. Music nowdays suck. David is a legendary guitarist.
These 'old school clowns' are way better than music of nowdays.
@Sir Tristan I'm not a boomer you fucking prick lol.
@Sir Tristan also, music is subjective, I find gilmour to be alot better than players today, can you name me some examples? Instead of just shitting on my opinion with no substance?
I saw them at a very wet Bath Blues festival in 1970 along with Led Zeppelin (I think!). Watched them through the decades and saw Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets just last week. Epic times.
