      In some ways I agree with your criticism of Keller, but you should understand the time and context of his statement... At that time, this kind of musical experimentation, especially in post-Victorian England, was looked on by the average person as something done by aliens from outer space... Keller was actually quite reserved in his criticism compared to what some music critics at that time would have done...

He could've been spiked with LSD, STP, who knows. Maybe even worse, Syd never talked about it and when asked about LSD use in 1970, he denied really being associated with it.

      Hmmm? Well if you search Keller's biography he most likely criticized 1930s-1950s styled jazz and gibson thru out, his career . Probably the most modern genre he opinionated was skiffle-pop. And '67 BBC doesn't promote band and manufacture them for their future career. (I guess until now?) the same reason why their radio stations don't prefer modern songs! Hans Keller just acted like a professional here. He criticized their material not their popularity. And just the same way with other musicians in the past from the '50s.
      And keep in mind that this is "THE pink floyd" who was still in their underground years and before their US tour. BBC tv shows broadcasts every musician's single/songs but never sell them in the charts. This was most likely for entertainment reasons. At least Keller didn't say that, Pink Floyd will never be famous. He did said at the beginning that; "MAYBE, I am too much of a musician" in a humble way

    I am a classical musician, and I can tell you that there was plenty of avant garde, dissonant and unpleasant sounding music for string quartet written decades before this performance. In fact, by 1967, it was common to find atonal classical music written for electronics, even featuring sampling. It's because of classical musicians like the presenter that the radicalism of 20th century classical music is unknown to the general public, and why many people believe it is a thing of the past instead of living with us to the present day. Pink Floyd is no more unlistenable to his ears than John Cage or Penderecki

They were forced to continue to innovate after Syd left. So they got good at innovation then later on they became great songwriters like Syd.

      That's a really well-balanced assessment, Coilhead. All the responses here are from Floyd fans, and it's too easy to dismiss Keller, who simply comes from a different world. We have to remember that cultural musical judgments were far different pre-Sgt, Pepper, or thereabouts. There was a big division between "serious" and "pop" music. I'm a classical pianist and I also love Astromine Domine, but times are different.

    A true example of out with the old in with the new. Watching Syd with his arms out stretched singing about Neptune, flashing lights, over the sound of feed back and strange psychedelic music must have been absolutely fascinating to see for the first time as a youth of the 60s. It was more a clarion call to break through to new levels of experience through mind expansion.

    Ha, ha, Hans Keller initially says he doesn't want to prejudice the viewers, then goes on with slagging them and almost rolling his eyes before the audience can hear their excellent song, "Astronome Domine". Although Hans Keller was a fairly open minded critic of 20th century classical music during the 50s and 60s, he wasn't really suited for interviewing a pioneering rock band......

      Hi Figocooldude, I'm not sure, if you scroll about half way through the article on Ligeti at www.independent.co.uk/life-style/classical-music-an-aural-dreamscape-1292565.html, it appears he may have initially been hostile to Ligeti, but gradually learned to appreciate him.
      The article on Hans Keller I saw on Wikipedia mentions that he supportive of Benjamin Britten, Arnold Schoenberg, as well as several other contemporary composers listed near the end of the article.
      Still, it's too bad he didn't seem to see any merit in Pink Floyd, even if only from the standpoint of relatively simple pop/rock music.

    Great clip, band, song and interview. In a strange way having Hans Keller interview gives you a good idea of how people of his generation (what had been before) were having to understand 60's music / culture, the huge widening gap between the generations in leaps and bounds, there was no gradual evolution or transition. In a way his questions offer Roger and "Syd" (Graham) an opportunity to explain certain things about their generation in a way that a "better" / younger interviewer might not.
