"It's an idea some day, in my tears, my dreams....." P.S. One of my personal idols in music, ROGER KEITH (SYD) BARRETT. A misunderstood and troubled genius. R.I.P. SYD.
right: you won't find a much bigger syd fan than me. and i can really take or leave gilmour's solo output and post-waters floyd stuff. not much personality at all. but, let's get real here: gilmour and syd were guitar buddies as teenagers, gilmour had the biggest hand in delivering syd's 2 solo albums to the marketplace (including having to do some serious editing of syd's rather random guitar and vocal tracks before being able to lay down any other instruments on them) AND it was gilmour who made sure syd was paid his royalties in full and on time for the rest of his life. even syd's sister claims "he was the only one who really cared" for syd after he went back to his mums. AND he didn't bother the bloke either, although he seems to regret that deeply now - he respected the family's wishes that syd didn't like being reminded about being 'syd'. he was ROGER BARRETT by then, and maybe he should have always been... gilmour has helped our hero every step of the way and that includes using his own fame to keep syd's songs in the public eye. and NOT in the way that waters did ("boohoo our lost genius") but simply by PLAYING them. there must be a great deal of young floyd/gilmour fans who have got to syd thanks to these kinds of performances. so what: they're a bit too 'polished' are they? what do you expect from a guy who is so professional? in my view gilmour is an absolute gent for doing what he has done and continues to do for his old buddy, simply because he wants the rest of the world to appreciate syd's talents as much as he does. let's give the guy his due!
This is great. Since David Gilmour helped produce and played on some of Syd's solo stuff, it doesn't surprise me that he would be able to play "Dominoes" so well.
I love Syd’s best songs. For me, they rank with some of The Beatles’ and Stones’ best. Thank you David for keeping these songs alive and as fresh as ever...
They miss the early change to C on 3 mins but that's the nerd talking. It's wonderful that Mr. G. will cover his friend's songs this way. Let's have more.
Nowhere near as bad as I expected, had visions of Gilmour straightening the song out but to his credit he knows exactly what makes the song special. The mood and the uneven bars. The lyrics too obviously.
@@guitarthings8453 . Dave cannot play acoustic like Syd. Nor electric . He’s great though. I’m eternally grateful that he made Syd’s warm up riff the intro to “Baby Lemonade”.
Absolutely beautiful and deep song even though I don't completely understand it. I think David and Co. did a fantastic job on it here. I imagine that David goes back to the days of recording Syd when he plays this stuff and I bet it's still very emotional for him.
David seems still to be sort of regretful , feeling somewhat guilty it seems, about him being full of ambition in his younger years, and taking Syd's place in the band. It is so fully understandable, in retrospect, I'd say. I think David not just kept helping Syd, he simply never stopped admiring Syd for what he was, a beautiful human being, an artist and a very original guitar player. It is very respectful of him to come up with his own interpretation of Dominoes, and not even consider to try and copy Syd.
more like, syd is father and heart, gilmour is more like rational brain, and what he did with pink floyd was amazing, but syd is in every song of pink floyd somehow, even those by gilmour
Dave played on and or produced Syd's post Floyd solo material. Gilmour and the boys from Foyd were very supportive of Syd, helping him to organize his lyrics and songs til the last bit, when it just wasnr doable.
@@juanriff All the members of Pink Floyd, apart from Nick Mason were involved in Syd's solo career, including Roger Waters. It was Waters and Gilmour who got Syd back into the studio to start recording what would later become The Madcap Laughs. Roger Waters produced a number of tracks on Madcap, David Gilmour played on both solo albums and arranged and produced a number of tracks and Rick Wright played on Barrett and composed "Two of a kind", that Barrett covered on The Peel Sessions.
but for all the criticisms of this being too upbeat, too fast, not melancholy enough, that's probanly valid, but didn't these guys help produce and mix the final version on Syd's album, so they are the closest ones to cover it, if not the best ones. There's really nothing like Syd's own voice and manner I though i agree. His inner life came through his notes which Noone has been able to replicate in any cover I've heard.
absolutely. Actually David has the sensitivity to not even try to copy Syd, I think he would consider that to be disrespectful. I felt, in the interview David had on Syd, that he had and very likely still has high esteem of Syd as a guitar player. Not in the sense of technical virtuosity - I think Syd was not a virtuoso by any means - yet in the sense of him discovering new realms.
@@ruurdkempenaar3405 He did play guitar on his solo albums. Rick Wright also played keys and Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie played drums, on ‘ Barrett’. I know as I have both solo albums on vinyl and it’s on the sleeve notes.
@@guitarthings8453 you’re not wrong about David’s contributions, but Syd’s singing and guitar playing are so distinctive and unconventional that David’s own interpretation has a completely different feel to it.
I think this version is too upbeat... It is my understanding that this is meant to be a bluesy sad song about how love fades but what do I know, I am merely a youth who has never experienced love nor songwriting
@@goldenpissmonster hard to make that argument? you don't think "me and you, and you and me, no matter how they toss the dice" and "you and i, you and i and dominoes" are similar at all? also, david gilmour says that song has syds best guitar playing, and the solo is the best thing syds ever done. i have the interview on dvd if you need proof
Cynthia Marston it took me 11 months but I have finally figured out what you meant... you mean substitute the word "fame" into the lyrics. that's actually quite profound. thanks ☺
No it's personal with me and Dave though we haven't meet and he doesn't know who I am but once an ex-girlfriend of mine wrote him a letter and he responding saying she was very intelligent it was like Syd was being dumped again.
Not a good version, no pain dripping through the cracks of these lightweight studio musicians. They are having superficial fun, when the original song has a mix of obscurity and absurdity feeling.
I love David Gilmour, but to me Syd's song Dominoes is about stretching time out and wasting time on playing dominoes. Unfortunately, Dave is rushing it and making it something else. He should get abstracted and meditate on time like Syd did.
Hahaha. Gilmour seems like a nice enough fellow but being a massive Barrett fan and utterly bemused by the total mediocrity of ALL post-Barrett Floyd, it seems like he's finally playing the songs he should've been playing for the last 40 years!
blackmore4 I thought Waters managed pretty well in the 70's, but every he pales in comparison to Syd. I find Gilmour's Floyd a bit pretentious, and unlike Barrett or Waters, he seemed incapable of writing an entire album of decent songs, needing outside help in songwriting, especially for "the Division Bell". He's a great performer but lacks Barrett's of Waters' ability to write a catchy tune.
you have a very peculiar perception of fanboyhood. I am a fan of Syd's music too, yet what PF did till say 71 is far from mediocre. It is only with the appearance of DSOTM that things started to shift away from their very original approach of music. By the way, I like Dominoes best, of all Syd's solo work. Gilmour did do fine to turn it into his own approach, as the feel of Syd's original is something one better not try to copy.
I applaud David for covering Syd's songs!
All of syds music is under rated and amazing in my opinion
Clearly superior to any Floyd works, on another level!! Pure art!
Its true and so good you get called mad for Singing them
Even birdie hop?😆
What exactly does “under rated” mean?
@@Sandwich13455 He was so far ahead that he even named a song after an internet page!😊
Syd was a genius. May your soul rest in peace.
Syd Barrett was 100 % love

Lovely piece of music, thank you Syd

absolutely spot on
Couldn't agree more..Syd was just a genius and found in David some sort of producer and voice for his amazing songs. Bravo to both!!
Well said
wow
Yawn
This is great. Since David Gilmour helped produce and played on some of Syd's solo stuff, it doesn't surprise me that he would be able to play "Dominoes" so well.
Yes, and I applaud the rest of the band in the back as well. That big bass thing makes this song so nice
Thank You David for being such a sweet soul.
Syd was a true poet, true artist.
I love Syd’s best songs. For me, they rank with some of The Beatles’ and Stones’ best. Thank you David for keeping these songs alive and as fresh as ever...

Gilmore does a great service with this one written by his childhood friend, Syd. Well done, Dave!
Love Syd and David is so classy covering him and making sure he was paid all his royalties. Dave is a great guy.
I love the way the song has no ending, just kinda disappears. A bit like Syd really!
Now I m 54 I remember when I was 11 years in Chile 🇨🇱 I started Loving Syd Barrett an pink Floyd Emily....... The Bike 🚲 ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
the bassist is really taking it.. thank you roger for this pure thing
so awesome syd's childhood friend playing his song !
Absolutely Brilliant
Such a cool , unique melody
One of my fav Syd tracks and I really like this version . Must have been bril seeing it live .
Most impressed, Sir David. Great .
dave was a childhood friend of syd.
What a lovely version of a beautifully sad song.
Nowhere near as bad as I expected, had visions of Gilmour straightening the song out but to his credit he knows exactly what makes the song special. The mood and the uneven bars. The lyrics too obviously.
Of course he knows what to play. He played pretty much every instrument on the original recording. Including drums, bass, and keyboard.
Gilmore produced this music
@@EkonRekon He also played most of the Instruments....
@@guitarthings8453 . Dave cannot play acoustic like Syd. Nor electric . He’s great though. I’m eternally grateful that he made Syd’s warm up riff the intro to “Baby Lemonade”.
@@guitarthings8453 I thought Rick played keys on Barrett?
David Gilmour was so lucky to have produced a GENIUS.
Wonderful Sir David :)
Love Gilmours style and what a gent doing Syd songs.
Absolutely beautiful and deep song even though I don't completely understand it. I think David and Co. did a fantastic job on it here. I imagine that David goes back to the days of recording Syd when he plays this stuff and I bet it's still very emotional for him.

I think they subtly murdered Syd by neglect 😢
I hope Syd is able to hear his songs (and watch) when David (or anybody) performs them.
Syd was the father of pink floyd.
Gilmour is the heart of pink floyd.
more like, syd is father and heart, gilmour is more like rational brain, and what he did with pink floyd was amazing, but syd is in every song of pink floyd somehow, even those by gilmour
Roger was the anger of Pink Floyd.
Grazie David per la cover di Syd🌹🎸
SIMPLEMENTE ESPECTACULAR. EXCELENTE COVER..
What a great job chucho merchan on the contrabass

Thank you David for believing in the dimond god bless you
Magical night.

There's really nothing like Syd's own voice and manner I though i agree. His inner life came through his notes which Noone has been able to replicate in any cover I've heard.
It's even possible that Gilmour played the guitar parts of some songs on Syd's solo albums, because Syd was already too far gone...
did'nt Gilmour replace Syd?
absolutely. Actually David has the sensitivity to not even try to copy Syd, I think he would consider that to be disrespectful.

Beautiful
Nice hommage to its master
Total genius !
Great cover David
fantastico
David is where he is thanks to Barret
Musica top.syd barret👍😃👍😃👍
Syd would be so glad!!!
Dude, who is the bassist on this??? Phenomenal playing!
Wow, could this be actually better than the original? Too bad Dave didn’t do the backwards solo on his pedal steel guitar, that would’ve been epic…
Every member from Pink Floyd is such an inspiration in their own way
I love Syd's version but David does a good job!
Syd's version was basically David.. David played pretty much everything on his Solo album, including Drums, Bass, Keyboard and of course some guitar.
@@guitarthings8453 you’re not wrong about David’s contributions, but Syd’s singing and guitar playing are so distinctive and unconventional that David’s own interpretation has a completely different feel to it.
Well i like it
A little different direction, still brilliant
It's an idea some day for creative artists to just create art, unfortunately in Syd's dreams, his tears.
El buen Chucho en el contrbajo!
Syd os the best
I love Domino's Pizza!
I'm sure Syd did too.
I thought that was absolutely brilliant.
I think this version is too upbeat... It is my understanding that this is meant to be a bluesy sad song about how love fades but what do I know, I am merely a youth who has never experienced love nor songwriting

@@goldenpissmonster likes? i doubt too many people even read my stupid comments
He's not underated , he just retreated, imagin if he kept his head and continued going, for a few more years? With PF or solo?😀
Everyone needs to stop shitting on gilmour like wtf
a bit jazzy version
Compositores
David Gilmour, Roger Waters ????????????? óbvio que não. syd barret
Love Dominoes. Nice tribute. Someone suggested substitute Dominos with Fame. Sad. Just sad he went down the way he did, I prefer original by miles
Cynthia Marston it took me 11 months but I have finally figured out what you meant...
you mean substitute the word "fame" into the lyrics.
that's actually quite profound.
thanks ☺
heuuuuu...
Mais :
"Où est Syd ?"
Dans ton coeur, ou ton oreille, j'sai pas
ni la sombra de Barrett.
No it's personal with me and Dave though we haven't meet and he doesn't know who I am but once an ex-girlfriend of mine wrote him a letter and he responding saying she was very intelligent it was like Syd was being dumped again.
Excellent cover, the version from Syd was so poorly recorded. This brings a bit more life to it.
What? Do you understand music?, it,s just difficult to heard that. So, tastes and colors...
Not a good version, no pain dripping through the cracks of these lightweight studio musicians. They are having superficial fun, when the original song has a mix of obscurity and absurdity feeling.
I love David Gilmour, but to me Syd's song Dominoes is about stretching time out and wasting time on playing dominoes. Unfortunately, Dave is rushing it and making it something else. He should get abstracted and meditate on time like Syd did.
It’s too straight - he’s ironed out the strange. Still a great song.
In my opinion they could have done much better than strumming it through.
For that Syd alone was enough and better.
Cretin Hop I don't doubt that, Syd was fully aware of his situation as many lyrics show, dark globe for example
What would you have preferred them do? Just curious.
Carlo Marchiori Better? I'd like see that.
Samuel Luria tune the guitar properly, for instance
Fernandulo STFU srsly, this is a perfect unhinged performance
talk about getting hit in a soft place...
It does have a little of that later pink Floyd aura to it
The Geritol version.
First
syds better
Pffffffff
Robin Hitchcock does it better though.

I'm sure he has lost many a night of sleep lamenting the 40 years wasted not playing music "he should of been playing " according to you .

Awful rendition. And the lyric is “you and I in place”
