Syd doing beatbox vocals long before rap.
Don’t forget that emceeing was a staple of rock and even the blues. Rhythmic, monotone, spoken word.
Syd was so criticized by "old bald frustrated mama's boys that smoke cigarettes."
I was just going to say that and there you were...
And Roger Waters, appropriately, whinnying.
They Beatboxed on Hee Haw. My mother pointed that out when I was a kid.
Syd T-poses to assert his dominance
Underrated comment right there ^^^

I would like to interject sir
You sir, are a Nazi
What does "T-poses" mean?
"A regression to childhood" That is exactly why I love Syd's songwriting.
I was thinking the same thing. That was the only thing the interviewer said that made any sense (although he meant it as an insult!)
exactly.
Syd invented a genre that he would contribute to on his two solo albums. It's stayed unique to this day.
But then he added "after all, why not"...
Of course this dude born in the 1900s (he seems around 60) wouldnt get it, there werent even loud music players, the loudest could be an orchestra 😅... For him, it made no sense... But with that line, it implies he didn't hate the guys😅 who were the politest young lads could be
Breaks my heart to see Syd so intelligent and well-spoken. Such a waste... What might he have given us that we'll never know?
Yup and 2 short months later he overdosed on LSD over the course of 1 WEEKEND. Everyone close to him says he went away for a weekend as the Syd they all knew (the one in this video) and he came back the next week a changed person. The lights went out on him at that point.
😢😢😢😢
Too much LSD
@@Erik-mj4ed can't believe that lsd was the cause...it was his hiding way...
mostly his "weak stomach" 'n supersensitivity are to "blame on"...
within the show biz madnes...cynical waters realised they need
one more stable ('n technically better) guitarist partner...and he rather
did the david choice in a harsh way for syd...i'm afraid...we... all lost...
@@Danimal77 Interesting, I also recall reading that for a longer period of time Syd was living with a rather reckless flatmate who would dose people without telling them, and in large quantities.
In the end I believe that deep down Syd didn't want the same career in music and the spotlight as the other 3 did. Not only was it a lot of hard work, but they had to make countless creative sacrifices along the way. An aversion to all of that was a part of Syd's personality before his mental health issues surfaced.
Also I'm not saying Syd wasn't a hard worker, but he had a unique creativity that could never play the game of dealing with record execs, suits, and even TV hosts which were popular at that time. If only he could have found a sustainable way to continue playing live for his real fans, as a sort of Grateful Dead model. Or if only a medium like RUclips was available for him he could have kept creating under his own direction.
Bless Syd. So soft spoken and sweet.
He's dreamy
6:00
The look Roger and Syd give eachother after he mentions he grew up with the string quartet...I had to replay it over and over again because it's so sweet. Just a small sign of friendship or something like that, I dunno.
Juzo Sakakura they are best buddies 🌝✨💗💝💖🌷🌸🎀
I knooooow. Such cute boys! They were buddies!
@@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 It's a shame what happened.
Simply buds listening to the self professed establishment talking head
"He's all yours buddy" :)
Syd was so good looking
Yes he was
He was very beautiful, and I’m a straight man
Yes, very feminine facial features...
@@Nuj-rx8wk As a woman, i dont see the feminine features, just a good, fine featured man.
7:53 absolutely love that glare
A lot of very dumb, negative comments here about the interviewer. Hey, if he had not chosen to interview Waters and Barrett, we never would have got a clip of Syd speaking before his problems began. Also, the interviewer is actually quite polite, letting them fully express themselves. He simply is from another generation and has another musical view.
I wouldn't describe him as polite. He came across very passive aggressive and should have kept his opinions out of it unless it was positive. When roger describes why they are loud and how they didn't grow up with string quartets, he was poking fun at himself as to why they are probably loud..Then the interviewer turns that statement into a logic argument....Really uncalled for. He comes across very pompous. Then he finishes it all off with "It all appears to be a childhood regression" Polite? ummmm no. A pompous prick? Yep.
@@howzaou812 Not at all; you're overreacting. He has a strong opinion - so what? It's his show. Also, he let's the Floyd explain their views without interrupting them. Simply because you disagree with him does not imply he is "pompous p" as you put it. He was a recognized musical genius of his era.
I found the interviewer out of touch an just abit rude with his put downs. Condescending imo
Funny enough, this bickering between generations has not changed in the slightest.
@@howzaou812 Was the term 'passive-aggressive' even used in the 1960s? I often find it hilarious that people can't situate themselves in the time that many early rock bands were recorded. Pink Floyd were fashionable in London in '66-67, but even they would tell you that their more improvisatory stuff wasn't well received in other parts of the UK outside of London.
The interviewer is trying in some way to explain what he is listening to, to a television audience of the time, most of whom would have been born before the 1930s. Many people of that era, if not most people, would say that "If you can't whistle the tune, it's not music." Loud amplified electric guitar music was relatively new, remember it was only 5 years before that the Beatles were rejected by a record label because of the belief that "Guitar groups are on the way out Mr. Epstein."
We've now had 55 years or so of a rock culture, and the young people of that era who 'got' the music are the senior citizens of today. For them, this is 'classic rock', but for the vast majority of people in 1967, over the age of 35, this is just a barrage of noise.
Omg Syd is hot as hell.
He was a rather fetching lad, wasn't he?
Was
100% truer
Rebecca Savonièr he is very hot!!!
@Adrienne Gurge I wish you could see me. English and yet so damn bloody repulsive that looking in the mirror is sheer torture.
I recall finding Pink Floyd's first album in a bargain bin at Sam the Record Man in December 1967. Cost me all of 99 cents. I had no idea who they were or what they did, but the album's title resonated with me. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Taken from The Wind in the Willow's best and most haunting chapter.
Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine became my instant favorites. It was a strange thing at that time, being the first person I knew anywhere who was aware the band even existed. But it was a perfect record at a perfect time in the life of a young teenager.
Their future fame was all ahead of them, but that little slice of time stood still for me, for a moment.
Great story. Where was this Sam the Record Man shop at? Interstellar and Astronomy are great tracks. I used to like having them looped to play over and over. Something almost meditative about them.
I was exactly the same over Saucer full of Secrets- took me years to find a copy of their first album.
Syd was such a cool and talented dude. So sad he lost his mind at such a young age.
Kind of makes you wonder why the lawmakers didn't make the controlled substances Syd took more or less unknowingly dangerous drugs earlier.
@@scoobycarr5558 And yet, how ironic that with all the damage that was done to him, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys survived both of his brothers and is still touring, even though it's obvious on he's on psych meds to get him through a concert. Both Syd and Brian should have realized that when you have the diagnosis of schizophrenia, you don't do acid !

@@scoobycarr5558 They were too worried about pot! A drug that never killed anyone
He has given us Pink Floyd,,, that is quite a gift to give on many, many levels isn't it. And as for ole Sid, he lived a quite life with his sister and his art. I suppose that's what was meant to be. The life of artists really is one of fate,,,,it's as if their lives were all planned out the day they were born and nothing would stop them from fulfilling their purpose here on earth. It's really mindblowing when you read up on famous people or should I say, people who have impacted the world, truly amazing. 😎✌✝💕
Syd was such a beautiful spirit & well spoken lad. So sad.
I always watch from here and there .. how I wish I was born around this time . I miss you syd…
actually it would be better if you were born 15-20 years before this interview, but I know what you mean. Thanks to recorded music (before the 20th century, only live music was possible) and RUclips, we can appreciate this over 50 years after it was recorded.
At 75yrs I can enjoy Syd and the Floyd rocking on, makes me happy..
Love the way Roger and Syd look at each other when asked why it is so loud,
"i dont want to prejudice you".... *goes on to prejudice audience*
ha!
It's just like when people start off by saying "I'm but racist but..."
Brendan as old as the world speaking technique: the Romans called it "captatio benevolentiae", capturing benevolence.
What a beautiful boy he was ❤
Yes he was!
Yes 🙌
So sad..!
Syd Barrett completely outclassed the interviewer here and I’d have to say that Roger Waters held his own against him as well.
Not so much outclassed but more .. "how do i handle this guy who isnt on the same level as i am mentally"
Syd=Beautiful.
😍😍💘💘💔
The way Syd and Roger watch and smile to each other when the interviewer says : “I happen to grow up with a string quartet, which is a bit softer” 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
"Perhaps it's my fault that I don't appreciate them"...yes it's absolutely your fault
At least he admitted it
The interviewer looks like the teacher from The wall video
Acts like him too.
If you don't turn your amps down you can't have any pudding!! How can you have any pudding if you don't bring it down below 11???
And, he was only 48 here, pretty crazy. He seems much older.
@@billshank6266 agree
Which is where the got that caricature from.
This is amazing, the contrast between the generation that was and the generation that was to come. Truly spectacular.
good call. It shows the pre-WWII and post WWII UK generation tensions (not as extreme as in the US during the late 60s though), as well as perhaps class. And of course classical/"serious music" versus popular.
50's rock compared to the more trippy Barrett tracks... then fastfwd to the late 70's with disco, funk, arena rock... Ea decade seems worlds apart.
The fact they were completely upsetting the interviewer just by being themselves makes me love Pink Floyd even more.
Imagine if Hans was still alive and he had to interview a Rap star....
@Ron Maimon I've seen many negative comments from you on pink floyd videos. You're obviously trolling.
Take it one step further; mumble rappers
Sharon Tate death photos
@richard lawless Christ, man.
@funkmasterjee It's Gott im Himmel. :)
I love the fact It's 2018 and people are still enjoying the masterpieces of Barrett, the pure talented artist of all time. I hope someday people become able to realize how much he created during his short recording history and have a better understanding of reality and about art and artists instead of keep calling them mentally unhealth. Thanks for keeping the Barrett spirit alive for us and for future generations that will discover the best great part of the origins of today's music through him.
@Zandranika DaYou get it perfectly. I wish I could like your comment 100 times. He DID have a better understanding of reality. The performances in this? STUNNING. It takes you musically to another realm. The screeching at the start and THAT performance? Incredible. When I listen to this it's like I've been given the secret of reality itself.
As though God is whispering into my ear. I can see all of my life and death at once. When was the last time you heard a performance from ANYONE like this since?
He was way ahead of even today's artists.
Totally agree
Syd obviously became mentally unhealthy because of drugs. There's nothing wrong with liking or loving the music/art he created before or during that period of time. But no need to make him into a kind of God or someone who saw more or knew more about reality than others. He was just another talented person who got screwed up by drugs. We are lucky that the other members of the band pulled it all together into such a great, long-lasting act that still kept some of that original 'Syd' influence in it.
Bowie copied him
What
Syds talent and intelligence was 100 years ahead of its time...
Have you heard the The Doublejumps? if you like Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd you'll probably love Doublejumps too

Syd looks beautiful as does Roger’s hair
I've Never Seen Syd Talk. He Seems So Sane... (RIP Syd Shine On...)
Shine on indeed...
Shine on
You crazy

I don't know if it's my imagination but he looked kind of a shy boy!
Sadly, I disagree. He just seems off to me. Brilliant, well spoken, but on the edge of cracking up. I am not any expert, not making any claims. I would like for a body language professional to analyze this clip.
Schizofrenic, but sane😂
Interviewer: "Do you feel aggressive towards the audiences?"
Roger: "No, not at all!"
Roger (10 years later): *spits in a fan's face* lol
[10 April 2021] Well I suppose he didn't feel aggressive towards audiences *THEN* , but he grew more aggressive towards his audience as he grew older. Obviously.
@@elizabethhann4028 it didn't have anything to do with being older, rather he grew aggressive toward audiences because of the lack of connection with fans due to the massive venues in which they were playing. Audiences were too raucous and many were not listening attentively to the music.
@@85geoffm [10 April 2021] Good point; you're right. I should have realized that.
@@elizabethhann4028 I didn't mean to suggest you were saying age was the sole reason for his aggressiveness toward the audience, rather I was pointing out that while it did happen 10 years after this video, the specifics of it were a little deeper.
Roger also fired Rick Wright and disowned genius band leader Syd Barrett...Rick and Syd were hardcore geniuses and the core of this band..
You can see the incredible brightness in his eyes in this interview, that is completely absent in later videos, even his hair looks better! Such a terrible shame, he could have went on to accomplish so much more.
Yup and 2 short months later he overdosed on LSD over the course of 1 WEEKEND. Everyone close to him says he went away for a weekend as the Syd they all knew (the one in this video) and he came back the next week a changed person. The lights went out on him at that point.
@@Danimal77 i think his hair was cool when he got crazy but its still sad
Hendrix perm.
The way you describe him reminds me of an article I read about Gia how after she got addicted to heroine she lost her freshness and her eyes looked dull
He could have gone on.
That little look between Roger and Syd when Hans tatters on with his obnoxious sense of superiority is pretty funny. Also, Syd had the loveliest soft speaking voice. It seems to me like he does a better job managing Keller, while Roger has a lot of thinly veiled snark
Indeed! The two cuties handled the grumpy mustache man like pros!
And, yes, I agree that Syd's speaking voice....so deep, soft, silky and sexy (with that posh Cambridge accent)....is pure MAGIC!
Roger Waters has always been a little short-tempered, and a tad impatient at times.
Roger's snark has always been part of his personality
Roger being Roger and Syd being Syd
Syd reminds me of Jim Morrison. Genius lost too soon
Syd is one of my all time favorite musicians.. such a deep, interesting soul man..
7:07 It's fun how Sid gets a smile out of the interviewer's question. One can only imagine the facial expressions of Mr. Hans Keller when the band were actually playing their "loud music".
07:12 - Syd
About 8 years ago i discovered Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett era and went and bought a reprint vinyl of this album, pipers at the gates of dawn, listening to it almost daily, just breaking the music down in my mind, finding any interviews i could, researching anything i could find about what happened to him, what he was like before. Sometime in the middle of this, I found out my one of my 4 closest friends at the time got diagnosed with schizophrenia. I cried when I found out. After spending all that time finding out what happened to Syd, now it was about to happen to one of my best friends. His life is still in shambles from it. Before I used to at least be able to communicate with him, but he stopped taking his meds and started using ecstasy and mushrooms again, and that did him the rest of the way in.
As soon as you heard Astronomy Domine at the beginning of Piper you knew there was something magical happening here and you did not want to stop listening at any cost!!!!
Ah Syd... What charisma and presence he had in those days! A musical and lyrical pioneer... with shining beautiful and alert eyes where a cosmic twinkle is not too far awayThanks for sharing
I could listen to Roger and Syd talk all day.
Syd was so beautiful in addition to being a genius.
Syd had such a soft voice! What a great ASMRtist he could have become... =P
Yes! He and Michael Hutchence.
I saw this as a kid when this was first broadcast and I remember thinking at the time when this twit mentioned it was too loud what he would think of Beethoven's 5th Symphony played quietly.
Syd clearly won the interviewer over by the end.
Roger showed a glimmer of the personality we all know today - defiant and independent.
Syd states a hard 'No', and then masterfully 180s the interviewer's opinion.
"But, after all, why not?"
Couldn't have said it better myself, Hans.
RIP Sid, we miss you so
"Perhaps it's my fault that I don't appreciate them." I like how self-aware this man is here, he doesn't enjoy their music or performance while still being able to acknowledge that it is due to personal taste rather than the band being objectively bad.
Hey! Interviewer! Leave them kids alone.
HaHa, we don't need no stupid comments, Da da da, dum dumm dum da da da, love it !
For me frankly it's to loud, I just can't bare it.
No one remembers that non-entity
@@SandyCheeks63564 As is the case with most juice.
@@justicegusting2476 huh?
This is such a clash between generations. As if that interviewer is dying to say: "Why don't you all grow moustaches and have lots of hair loss, like me - you silly dressed apes." These days an artist would say "F*ck you old man". But it's so much more a joy to hear those guys defend their music with humor and with dignity.
You’re totally right. In addition, I love the way Syd and Roger watch and smile to each other when the interviewer says : “I happen to grow up with a string quartet, which is a bit softer” 😂
Wish there were more videos of Syd before he lost his head. He comes across so likable, rational, and intelligent. As he is described by so many during his short “normal” life.
Schizophrenia often immerges late in young adulthood.
Just a few months later on the Dick Clark show he was gone.
“Verdict?” I love it. The ultimate verdict has been issued by music history. This square cat was unwittingly talking to a couple of absolute legends. That “loud” band helped define rock and roll.
The precious founders and genious of
Pink Floyd, Roger Waters and Roger Keith Barrett 🙏
His name is Syd Barrett
@@sanaddaoud6541 Roger was his actual name, and "Syd" is more of a nickname, I guess :)
@@sanaddaoud6541 Know your Floyd his first name Is Roger..!!!
I remember howling to this as a teenager, my mother thought I lost my mind, best day lol.
I'm looking for this early Pink Floyd performance with Syd where he was staring into the camera, completely out of his mind and it was very eerie. I've never forgotten it.
Probably the Dick Clark performance of "Apples and Oranges".
I remember an interview, I think it was with Pete Townshend, where he said that the Floyd were one of the most literally frightening bands he'd ever seen. When I see this show with the shadows I can understand perhaps what he meant. So visual.
Amazing that these great things are available and not destroyed long ago. Back in the 1970's we could have only dreamed of this! Thanks.
"I don't want to prejudice you to them" but you're going to anyways.
Well it’s just like the adults talking about today’s music. It’s a generational thing and when you’re like Hans and grow up around jazzy compositions, of course you’re going to criticize some 20 year olds tripping out of their minds and screaming into microphones with a distorted slide guitar amped all the way up
He can barely hide his contempt!!
Come on momma we still have to
go with you to walmart I need
You to let me borrow a few
Dollars..
Its just about 12 dollars
If you want too see me then illpay
You bavk
i really like the reviewer, he does make it clear that he doesn't like them but he respects them as a musicians and I love that
Syd, what a beautiful man he was ❤️
Pow R Toc H is for sure one of the best floyd tracks ever
The KINGS of the psychedelic music!!!
The early PF music hits a certain place in my spine, yet I keep coming back to it, and from time to time it comes to me in the deep chasms of my memories. I guess that all things from our childhood behave the same way. Maybe we should not suppress them.
Astronomy domine is so bloody musically brilliant
I think he’s jealous that they all have hair.
Eets too loud....

Lol 😂😂😂
hahauahauuauau
one of them turned bald LMAO
No one should ever forget this guy. He was not a genius yet, but a genius to become and perhap's the greatest in rock'n roll history. The first album is not the greatest musically speaking but there is here a Huge, Huge inspiration and incredible promisses to come, so far from those conventional and depressing albums the Floyd later did like "the wall" or "the final cut". We will never know, but for me Syd had the potential to break all the barriers of rock'nroll to make something totally new.
The interviewer seems quite disarmed by Syd's calm explanation of what they do.
syd created some of the most inspired music, also mad cap laughs was a diamond, shine on syd
This is hysterical. Old vs New Generation. Thank-you for putting this up!!!
I know, talk about a generation gap or maybe generation chasm.
I like how syd laughed at him when he said “I grew up in a string corrtet”

👍🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Golden vintage Pink Floyd in their hey days... intriguing interview with Roger and "The Mad Capp". Rest In Peace Syd.
Syd seemed so normal. He was well spoken and polite, even nice. Whatever caused his mental deterioration, he was once a brilliant up and coming musician. He would’ve changed the trajectory of Pink Floyd, which in retrospect wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing, but he had talents and ideas that went unfulfilled. And that’s sad.
I hope Syd has peace in Heaven.
Have you heard the The Doublejumps? if you like Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd you'll probably love Doublejumps too
Syd was a Beautiful Soul ❤
Pink floyd is what it is today because of Syd's initial presence and later absence.
I don't regret how things turned out to be.
Love Pink Floyd ❤️
Gururaj Chadaga you are spot on imo. Gilmour was paramount
Even with as much blowback as the host is getting in the comments here, I actually thought this was a really good interview. His opinion may be unpopular among us PF fans, but he actually had a real conversation with these young fellas, rather than the knob-sucking softball garbage you see in interviews now. He challenged these guys and they responded well, and we learned something about them and their character. How they handle criticism and pressure, and push through it to find thier artistic voice.
Whereas now-a-days, and for the last 20 years, if a band does an interview, it's usually softball garbage no one cares about, and you learn nothing about them because it's just banal question after banal question. I for one, wished there were more hosts like this guy out there now, because this was a whole hell of a lot more interesting than anything I've seen on MTV or music channels or websites.
Poor Syd took too many trips and never came back RIP Beautiful Genius 💖😢🌹
Itmwasnt the acid. That is the cliche.
❤💔💔💔👼😔😔😔
They had only done two converts before this interview. I was 11 years old and would leave for Guam in December of 1967. I didn't even hear of them until the Spring of 1972 from a classmate. Dark Side of the Moon was released in the Spring of my senior year in high school. I saw them play live in 1974 in the San Diego Sports Arena. They had been on tour fot a couple of years and I believe they were getting tired of touring at that time, but they still put on a good show.
This is before Syd "went away". His eyes sparkler and shine, he's so animated, charming, fun, articulate, light spirited, aware, cheery, talkative, extraverted and just extremely LUCID. It's a tragedy that in 2 short months from this he would overdose on LSD over 1 weekend and no one was home anymore. The lights literally went out on Syd and never came back. This is the LAST time in May we would see Syd as Syd and not the catatonic lobotomy version of Syd whose personality was robbed from him in 2 short days. It's as though his mind, spirit, soul, heart, etc, all died in July, yet the body continued to live on. TRAGIC.
And then there are all the un-famous people, who've also lost themselves with LSD, and nobody knows where THEY are....sad for Syd, and all the others too...
Dan Maler: are you quoting someone or are these your own words? (Just curious, not intending to provoke.)
@@tool_fighter That's very interesting. I just looked up and found it. But if you see their video for The Scarecrow, which was earlier, Sid already looks mentally fried. Plus a lot of other people who saw him in the months before USA tour who said he had completely changed.
Yes. There are often conflicting accounts from people who knew him. Some say he only did acid ten times. I think the conflicting info helped fuel the legend. As far as the
"Scarecrow" period is concerned, keep in mind that he was doing something like 250 shows per year, sometimes performing two countries per evening. Quite frankly I think he was suffering from exhaustion, and the pressure on him to produce was considerable. Also, listen to the Stockholm show. He was in fine form which also flies in the face of the official story. It was after the Cheetah Club that he started dangling his arms during shows and not to long after that Gilmour was brought in.Also check out neuropsychiatric effects of electrical accidents. Cheers @@7beers
Since the 60s we have learned a lot more about LSD and mental illness. Scientific studies show that LSD doesn’t trigger it cause mental illness and might be beneficial in the treatment of depression. Syd had schizophrenia. The other Pink Floyd members believe this now. No one can really confirm this, due in large part, to that damn English reserve and conflicting stories. Apparently everyone else was on drugs too, so there are lots of conflicting stories. It’s all sad! What a sweet, cutie-pie! When he got to be an old man he became that cranky neighbor who is always yelling at the kids to stay off his lawn.
Syd Barrett was a mastermind and a beautiful person
❤❤❤❤yes😍
It’s great to see them both being polite and articulate, even though the interviewer made it obvious that he was not a fan, and was just on the verge of being rude directly to their faces. The fact that they could retain their composure is impressive.
This is the only interview I’ve seen of them before they had lost Syd.
Thank you for posting this video!
Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨
Sid is one of the saddest stories ever.
Truly amazing how much difference there is in syd, absolutely astonishing in fact. Considering only 4 months later he was practically a vegetable on the American tour. You can tell his mind is so much clearer and less cluttered, better to articulate and more able to think and express himself. I truly think he suffered from underlying schizophrenia which was brought on by an extreme dosage of either LSD or STP (STP most likely) - there are account of this from his ‘lost weekend’, from which he never quite truly recovered. RIP to a true legend and icon
This film is essential viewing for any Floyd fan , capturing as it does the early sounds and development of the group . I first saw this broadcast on the BBC`s Sounds of the Sixties , and still find it memorable .
Syd is so cool
7:53 the death stare 😭
absolutly beautiful
Love Syd....
everybody hating on the interviewer for not understanding the newer generation's style of music. this still happens today and it wont stop anytime soon lol
A little bit of a regression to childhood but after all why not?!
How beautifully spoken and I know (hope) that Syd took this as the compliment it actually is. Children are born with a magical aura around them that extends into everything they think, touch and produce. I know for I have a four yr old still untainted by society.
Our remarks about her ego and self are all validated in her family dynamic, because I'm so certain a faerie majical loving creature lives in my home. If you knew her, you would understand.
Xoxoxxox Syd Barrett XoxoxO
You are most certainly loved by the masses of us that breathe your way and walk around with your songs for play, wings and many other things.
Syd Barrett forever
I love how they just look at each other like “wtf”

"There is continuous repetition and they are a bit boring"
like saying i dont mean to insult you,,,,,BUT,,,, :-)
It's heartbreaking to think that this interview was done only months before their appearance on American Bandstand. A world of difference. RIP Roger "Syd" Barrett.
When we listen to today's 'music,' after being spoilt by listening to great acts such as 'The Pink Floyd,' we all become Hans to some extent.
My goodness, what a marvelous historical artifact.

Syd Barrett INVENTED Beatboxing here!!!!!
pink floyd, they have an audience, and those who have an audience ought to be heard. what an understatement that was.
Syd was a great guitar player
