- Barrett undertook very little musical activity between 1968 and 1972 outside the studio. On 24 February 1970, he appeared on John Peel's BBC radio programme Top Gear playing five songs-only one of which had been previously released. Three would be re-recorded for the Barrett album, while the song "Two of a Kind" was a one-off performance (the song appears on the 2001 compilation

Wonderful musician. Founded the best band in the world. May He Rest In Peace.
An incredible song from the genius of Syd Barrett.
Just so sad, tragic really he was such a giant both as a musician and lyricist. His guitar always sounded a quarter off key but that was his genius in how he incorporated that into the songs that he created and achieved brilliance. He really had a way of blowing your mind as in effervescent elephant with tuba as the main instrument; I thought i would fall out of the chair when i first heard that. I really don't listen to that much Pink Floyd anymore but can't get enough of Syd Barrett. Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
I find it fascinating how his songs seem to purposely avoid tunefulness, and almost evade any particular key signature. The chord progressions are unique and quite unsettling, and just as you think you know how the tune goes, he will suddenly shoot off in another direction. I've heard it said that he would drive producers mad as they could never get him to play a bar or section the same way twice. Whether that was a conscious decision by him or just a product of his state of mind I don't know. Syd really was a creature of raw, untameable creativity - I always feel like he was saying "You're welcome to enjoy what I'm playing, but I'm not playing it for you".
tjf4375 oh yes he was playing for himself
Wow
I always wonder what music today would be if all these geniuses where still around.
Oh I love syd. He has a very unique sound. 💘
The King of psychedelic rock
You got that right!!!!!
9 years today wi lost are Crazy Diamond :-( R.I.P Syd
Patsy Hobbs 9 years? felt like yesterday to me.
Now 13 years ago
Actually 14 years! 💔
I was obsessed with this album back in the day. Not only was he gorgeous but a musical genius.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
probably my favorite barrett song.
Beautiful Syd
The world owes David Gilmour a massive thank you for being the man who made Syd Barrett’s two genius solo albums, along with additional tracks comprising basically a third album, a reality. Yes others, including Roger Waters, were involved early on. And they all deserve credit for their patience working with Syd, and for adding much-needed structure to Syd’s songwriting; which by 1969 could best be described as a sort of haphazard genius.
I know that Jimmy Page was interested in producing Syd as well at this time. But I’m not sure anybody other than David Gilmour could’ve pulled it off. Considering how long he had been friends with Syd, he would have known better than anyone how to pull the most out of him. And also I’m sure there was a little bit of guilt involved in being his replacement in Pink Floyd, which would have given him the patience and fortitude required to do the right thing and to see the albums through. Without l doubt there must have been times he wanted to throw in the towel, but Gilmour has always been a class act, and he stuck with his mate, Syd.
But, even so, who could have guessed just how poignant these albums stand, even to this day; not as anomalous footnotes to Syd’s career, but as something completely unlike anything the world had heard at that point, and even to today. His solo work, just as with Pink Floyd, has a timelessness to it. And of course there is the vibe of a “mad genius” at work, which was punctuated moments of levity and even hilarity, as if to remind us that on some level the great artist was still very present, working his craft. Thus it is appropriate that his first album is entitled “The Madcap Laughs”, serving almost as acknowledgement of these two seemingly juxtapositional elements (mad genius and levity).
Comparing his solo work with his work with Pink Floyd, however, is a dead-end in my opinion, because the two are really very different. I feel his solo work instead stands well-enough on its own merits, and offers a final yet most interesting, and even satisfying, coda to his career as a recording artist, and overall crazy diamond.
He always made sure that all the money from royalties got to him.
@@studio2165 you mean Gilmour made sure Barrett got paid?
@@greypilgrim6157 yes. Thats what he said in an interview..
@@studio2165 Who said it? Syd or Dave?
that cats something I can't explain
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
SYD BARRET FOREVER....ONLY
It would have been nice to include some photos of him when he was older. He also looked cool as he got older. Sad that we are so youth orientated.
The way this song starts is epic😎
Even in the best of times, he appeared to be irrevocably alone...and sad - irrevocably sad. The saddest part - he seems to have entered that room alone and then dismantled the door.
Not dismantled the room he painted the floor and there's a naked chick in the corner
I’ve always loved this song b/c of the sound of his voice. ( you’re nice to me LiKE ICE..😂) Then his voice sounds so timid in this song in other parts. It still stands the test of time.
I always wonder what the music world would be today if all these geniuses didn't die.
Why?
GENIO DELLA MUSICA
Nice. My Friends in Los Angeles took their name from this song. They played with Arthur Lee ( Love) for many years.
Syd & Arthur 2 misunderstood geniuses.
David Ellis yes , love that the band was called Baby Lemonade. And playing with the legend that was Arthur Lee . Maybe Arthur and Syd could have helped each other ? Or not ? I Rembrandts Arthur talked about he was supposed to be dead yet recording forever changes . I felt the same but didn’t make an album , acid can make you think all sorts of stupid stuff
When I was 13 round in London I was all round the record shops and guitar shops . Syd was near in a posh hotel, I had a book with rock star interviews and one about Syd collecting his royalties ect ? Wish I could have met him and been nice to him, give him some of my chocolate and a few fags . That’s Benson and hedges cigarettes ha ha . We are not America x
@@mikebassy it would be nice, I think a kind gesture would cheer him up quite well.
I I love this one I really love this one is special there’s something about it I really love
I tattooed my brain, all the way I just love this line
Is this not from dark globe?
*tattered
Syd barrett is a legend and history with roger waters.nick masson and richard wrigth...
Roger has been writing about him for years
Unic!
This isnt the BBC version. Its straight from the album.
The diamond will always shine....
This is the 'Barrett' album version.
yes
Sid was here...
this is just fab!
trippin his box off love it ;-)
Um raio caiu no cara. Divino. Tentou segurar. Muito dificil. Mesmo com disciplina,
THANKS
a definite trip song
Maybe for you it is….
The opening licks were the best!
Not meant to be part of the song but done separately as a tuning exercise and added at the beginning
Love this
I love this.
Wow
I thought the new Pink Floyd compilation would have been priced moderately...too expensive...I wanted to hear the remastered takes of Scream Thy Last Scream, Vegetable Man and Apples & Oranges. David Gilmour or someone changed the lyrics to Matilda Mother which sound lame. Pink Floyd struggled after Barrett until Dark Side of the Moon. Arnold Layne and See Emily Play were the only big hits until '72/'73 !!
yeah, me too ---)- shoot.
That's not exactly accurate or fair, not long after Barrett was out, the rest of the band stopped trying to have hit singles as they knew it wasn't their forté and went for the album market, doing increasingly well and culminating in 'Dark side of the moon'. However, some of their best loved tracks come from that 68-72 period, including 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun', 'If', 'Remember a day', Fat old sun', 'Careful with that axe Eugene', 'One of these days' and 'Echoes'. Two albums were notably successful - 'Atom Heart Mother' and 'Meddle', if not in the stratospheric sales of 'Dark side' - but then, few albums in history have been that successful. They also - in an effort to find their own voice - recorded three film soundtrack albums, 'More', 'Obscured by Clouds' and 'Zabriskie Point'.
@@aquatichighs I would say Atom Heart Mother & Meddle are really good, but they didn't break through the way that Dark Side did. Meddle was almost at that point though, you could tell from listening to Echoes that they were on the cusp of hitting it big.
Wieder einen von vielen Musiker wie Syd Barrett , Peter Green usw. wo nicht genug Drogen zu sich nehmen konnten .

Mrs Richards: " I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Got to love ❤ Basil Faulty and John Cleese especially 😍 ❤
This would be a great Ringo song.
Capolavoro
He never gave up he kept trying and even his stuff that was considered not that good, I think is pretty good
The Madcap Laughs is one of my favorite albums of all-time
Is it me or did Prince get his look from Sid
I wonder how much LSD that he had done to expand his mind to come up with all the Crazy lyrics🎤🎵🎸🎸🎹🎼🎶🎭😎
the drummer seems off not the guitar
Agreed. Who was it?
This isn't at the BBC. I think you just put that in the description as clickbait..
It worked on you
Who plays the bass?? Gilmour?
Oui !
This is not from Top Gear, this is the album version. Record in Abbey Road studios, released in the 'Barrett' album.
The Floyd completely lost it when they got rid of Syd.
Don’t know about all that now.
Sounds like someone else lost it. As well as Barratt.
They had to let Syd go. There were times in concert when he just stood there strumming his guitar without singing. They liked the guy but he turned into a child.
@@barrygreenstein8383 He hadn't turned into a child, he lost the plot. Too much acid on top of a mental condition took him somewhere he would never really return from. Tragic, but true.
@@scudger99 I didn't really mean that he turned into a child but when I listen to A Madcap Laughs he occasionally sounds very childlike.
Tony Iommi seems very influenced by Barrett's blues leads.
Barrett > Beatles
GILMOUR NA BATERIA ...
The drummer is struggling lol
Much ado about nothing.
I'm gonna get flamed for this, but Syd has got to be one of the most over-rated guitarists ever.
Maybe. But he was definitely one of the most underrated geniuses of music.
No he isn't. Syd has never been rated as a 'great' guitarist. Where did you get that from? Silly person.
Roger (Syd) was a rhythm guitarist. Never a lead guitarist. That is why it would have been a great duo between Barrett and Gilmour !!!
why?
He was musically creative, but a much less talented player than many of his contemporaries - Beck, Page etc.
