Underrated... by me. I never thought that much of this until it popped up in a recent playlist and as soon as it started I'm like, Who's this? 2 minutes in and I'm racking my brains, it's so familiar and BRILLIANT! 4 minutes and I'm away with it but still non the wiser so I go and have a look who it is... Syd! Lanky! Felt a bit ashamed at not having sussed it immediately. Have you got it yet? Yeah just now.
Same, this came up on a playlist and I was really digging it. I love Syd, but a lot of his stuff on Opel just didn’t do it for me. This track surprised me.
So glad Syd left. Roger Waters has more talent in his writing hand than all of syd and you young kids worshiping him because some jackoff you know does.
Syd Barrett wrote 52 songs. Who managed to get Syd into the studio in 1974??? Good guitar work.🎸 So he could still play!!! Nobody knows why he didn't do anything anymore, only the Barrett family. Visited Pink Floyd in the studio in 1975. Nobody recognized Syd. He often jumped up, took out his toothbrush and brushed his teeth. Did Syd ever have therapy??
i just heard an interview with Roger Waters where he stated that yes indeed, his real name was Roger Barrett. Didn't know that, must have done it to avoid confusion.
The healthy Syd Barrett was very creative. He was a talented, gifted young man. The first record with Pink Floyd The Piper...... is a good record.. Unfortunately Syd had the wrong friends. He took LSD several times a week. That's too much. No brain can handle that!!! He became lethargic..... He didn't live in the here and now..... He was mentally absent... He had thinking and speech disorders.... He was no longer productive... He could no longer play the right scales.... He wanted to climb walls.... He wanted to start a cult..... He wanted to get married and become a doctor.... He wanted to hit his sister Rosemary on the head with his guitar 🎸... At 22, Syd was a sick person. Syd wrote another 52 songs. 🎞️🎥 His whole life should be made into a film. I'm interested in how Syd lived with his illness? I don't know if he ever found redemption or peace for his soul.
This was how he saw our world, I think he was happy and had not so much pain. I feel sorry for him, because Roger Waters later was sitting next to him and dont know him
So glad Roger Waters took over. Pink Floyd in the 70s is better than any band at any time. You can take David Gilmour's version for the last 30 years, and ... no one ever talks about it, ever.
Serj From the brilliant book "Random Precision" by David Parker, he suggests that Steve Took from Tyrannosaurus Rex is on drums (page 132) the others just listed as session musicians but could have been Blinky Davidson from The Nice and maybe Junior from Tomorrow..
he kills it with the guitar , always keeping you interested
Roger Barrett did in 1968 what radio head plagiarized in the 2000s, Long Live The Mad Genius!! Shine on!!
Really? Roger Barrett? That's a first.
@@MadCircle01 His real name was Roger. He changed it to Syd after an artist he liked I think
MadCircle01 errr that was his name ..? Syd was a nickname
King Z
@@MadCircle01 duhhhh

Happens to the best of us on times brother!!

I’m getting an Interstellar Overdrive vibe on this track, which is no bad thing.
Man, he really left us waiting on the part two! Awesome, though!
SYD out of space, love so much
This is a beautiful syringed quartet!
very together,yet somehow very loose jazzy rock blues.coltrane and Charlie mingus would have loved it
Syd forever!
He should have done an album with Miles Davis.
Good shout. Wow, that would have been amazing.
Don´t be preposterous 😂.
fuck sake! this is amazing ...
no syd no floyd. period.
Ok, "just because"
So glad Syd left. Roger Waters has more talent in his writing hand than all of syd and you young kids worshiping him because some jackoff you know does.
RIP GENIUS
Recently discovering SYD BARRETT !!! Very talented, creative and I wish he had continued and also kept his mind out of the acid ...
Same
He did "continue."
Give Frank Zappa a listen to too if you haven't.
Whereabouts are you, in your Syd journey?
Nah ,lol acid doesn't do this to the human brain,bi polar/schizophrenia,that's another tale.
This was Syd’s last attempt at free form improvised music. From here on out it was all simple, structured songs.
Listen to the 1974 session.

a mad man in a studio. rip
Super groovy!
Brilliant musical mind
and where is part two???????
Thaaank you
Its called rhamadan!
i just heard an interview with Roger Waters where he stated that yes indeed, his real name was Roger Barrett. Didn't know that, must have done it to avoid confusion.
And Roger is Roger Waters' MIDDLE name. His name is actually George Waters. lol.
Syd was slang for acid
Barrett picked up the nickname "Syd" in his teenage years.
Killer
Trevor!
Rolooooooooooon

Hermoso
Classic ++
Steve Peregrin Took on Congas
I assumed that! Thanx for the facts! :)
The liner notes of OPEL / Lanky: "Lanky (pt.2) runs for for over seven minutes and consists of two drum tracks only"! Would LOVE to hear that part!
boring
@@macksblog rhamadan is practically lanky but much longer.
🤘🏿
it must have been a lot of stuffing out there, if Took was with Syd at that occasion........
Stuffing?

does someone know the musicians who play in the this song?

Stuart Hilpert thanks bro'
Did Syd write this? or is it like made up in studio?
syd wrote it-though like his early Floyd instrumentals ther would've been a great deal of improvisation
Not me .
