The band that would become The Stars and it was Syd Barrett's last band ever.
Drums: Twink
Vocals: Bruce Paine
Bass: Jack Monck
Guitar: Fred Frith, Syd Barrett, Bruce Paine
I actually saw this. They were supporting Hawkwind. I'm sorry to say I had no idea who Syd was at the time. Didn't discover the Floyd until DSOTM.
How was it? I’M so curious!
Barrett is the muddy guitar, Frith is the clean guitar. Absolutely no doubt about it.
agree, there are three guitars, the other (apart from Frith and Barret), according to the guy who recorded it, was an American blues guitarist
barrett is the clean guitar and also uses it with his trade mark slide..my cousin was actually at this gig all those years ago
I can hear a riff made by the clean guitar very close to the one played by Syd in Reaction in G: listen from 4,20 onwards.....
@@damiensuil2183 I'm sorry but there's no way in hell that Frith isnt the clean guitar. All the crazy weaving winding jazz shit the clean guitar does at points is classic Frith!
@@iamdamosuzuki_ I agree. Syd is one of my all-time favorite guitarists but not because he was technically proficient, which he wasnt, but because of his inventiveness and outside the box approach. Anyhow, Syd just never played those kinds of licks and phrases. On a side note, Syd plays a great lead guitar on Gigolo Aunt from his album Barrett. It's nothing too crazy or technical but it's interesting and unique. Finally, some of the best guitar advice I ever heard came from Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of Steely Dan. He basically said you don't to be the fastest or the best or the most technical guitarist but you need to develop your own unique style and that's one thing Syd definitely had.
I've been listening to old Floyd(bootlegs) for over 30 years and this is the first I have even heard of this "Boogie Band." Excellent!
Syd could most definitely PLAY! Not in an absolutely precise or pedantic way, but in a flowing, very creative and very evocative way. Heck, he could play better than most of us, granted that he was there in the first place -- which I think is the only probable thing because his sound is so distinct.
Heard the Pink Floyd Lp from 1965 / 1966 it was a bluesy 30 minutes where Syd played some good guitar licks that were although common were fantastic similar to Kieth Richards and Jimmy Page during that time in technique
He's one of the most under rated guitar players; he's the clean guitar in this show, his style is recognisable; for example 4:20; 7:30. Erratic, unconventional, creative, out of schemes
Pasquale Muzzupappa wow that is fascinating
play in a pedantic way? Lol, got the word-a-day tp for christmas last year, eh?
@@user-qt5eh9wb7g im not a native english speaker but i try to express in whatever way i can do best what i feel about stuff like this
Alice Cooper was right. Killer guitar player! Sometimes he really does sound lightyears ahead of his time. So futuristic.
It is safe to say 8:32 is absolutely undeniably Syd Barrett
Right! I think so too
Firth
This is back when young men were musicians for real.
Sounds much better than I thought. Both technically and musically.
I'm gonna order this CD!

Mijn missie is om alle RUclips-video's te verrijken met mijn onmisbare commentaar. :P
Ratelzwatel ALLE RUclips videos??? Nou, dan ben je wel 'n tijdje bezig
+Ben Redares that reply made me laugh I know u don't care lol
+Ben Redares Vile...
sitting just like the photos of Syd on his knees& happened to look at the timestamp on the music @ 6:25 . life is more than a trip sometimes, wish it wasn't real.
That pic of Syd at 5:53, so beautiful. I can see what they meant by his violet eyes.
I love this stuff. It's much more like the early 'underground' Floyd sound before they started doing singles.
I prefer the REALLY obscure stuff before that, before they even got together.
Such as?
This really makes my ears tingle! I hope that someday someone happens to locate a Stars gig. Of course, that's just about impossible, but one can wish...
Wonderful to hear more Syd & fantastic psychedelic grooving track, surprisingly well recorded & a focused jam ,
cheers :)
An extraordinary live recording of a band put together by drummer Twink bass Jack Monk and singer Brice Pain includes guests Fred Frith and Syd Barrett,recorded in Cambridge Corn Exchange January 27th 1972
Wow fucking fantastic jam. this what I imagined stars what of sounded. thank you love it!!!
I had NO idea Frith played in a group with Syd! Two of the most original and innovative musicians of the time!
His guitar tone (sound) confirms he is playing ;)
Syd barrett genio loco sigue brillando con tus letras tu guitarra tus pinturas. Más genio que loco... Más. Te quedo corto el tiempo en esta vida
Better than I expected! Too bad it didn't last.
Really powerful and underrated show!! Up with Mr Barrett and the boogie band!
What was that like?
Very odd!
💥⚡️🚀….!
Sometimes ,we can hear bridles from his latter work .
A totally strange being ,& a British subject !The perfect mix to succeed in the musical field of the 60’s!
His talent as a guitarist is undeniable ,and his nursery rhymes timeless !
A beautiful story !
From deep south of France 🥖🍷🧀,
🖐😀🦊…pop…🍄⁉️
This is really good. I want to start a band like this and pick up where the left off. In jax, florida...
Dude, post "Gotta Be a Reason", too. It's like the conclusion to "Number Nine", because they still keep jamming.
FYI, I only have files sourced from the Spotify stream, so that's why I can't post it myself. :P haha But honestly, thanks for uploading this as it is. "Number Nine" is the meat of the whole performance.
Aww! Why did it have to stop, i could listen to this forever......
Mr. Barrett is great!
Fred Frith and Syd Barret together live. That's the outer limits for sure! Where is the video of this performance??
Thank you David!!!
I love this! Total Grooviness going on. Great Post! Thank You David!
wow what a performance, i didn't know than tapes were available and sound as really a surprise, in that time Syd have skills and inspiration
moments of clarity, in all pretty good for a last minute type a thing
VERY GOOD MUSIC... VERY KING CRIMSON / FLOYD SOUNDING....!¡!
This is excellent.
I kinda like this. Reminds me a bit of 'Interstellar Overdrive' (the big middle section with solos and improvisation)
Vocalist Bruce Paine is the other guitarist. Guitarist Fred Frith (Henry Cow) played most of the lead guitar and has the "clean" sound.
How anyone can tell who's playing is beyond me, I really can't lol. This is a really haunting and confusing jam
Frith is the clean guitar that does the intricate jazz style soloing
Didn't know this was out !
So...everyone in this comment section was at the show, right?
That's how these things generally go...I suppose.
The thing is, there’s absolutely no logical reason to disbelieve them, and yet so many people reflexively do, every time such a claim is made. People WERE at the show. Given that most of the audience would most likely have been in their late teens or early twenties at the time, most of them would still be alive. And If you were at a concert in the early 70s that went on to become somewhat legendary, it stands to reason you are likely to be interested in what recordings may exist of that concert, and that you would seek them out on RUclips. It would be surprising if there WEREN’T multiple comments here from people who were actually at the show.
@@fromchomleystreet There's absolutely every reason to not believe them.
@@user-qt5eh9wb7g None that are logical.
I played with Twink back in 2018. Some bits are in my channell. Just to share some love ✌️
Immense Thanks for posting this!
I guess that about wraps it up for Syd. Unless Living Alone comes to light?
Apparently, there are tapes of Syd and Dave Gilmour jamming at Dave's in 1972. Not to mention Sunshine and Reaction in G (studio take), and yes there is documentation that the tapes still exist.
the picture with the crowd in the background look like there looking up to syd magnified .syd beard!
The guitar solos have parts that sound very much like John Cipollinas grooves and tone. I really like it....but damn it sounds so much like a freestyle quicksilver messenger service jam session.
Jazz....improvisational jazz with electric guitar and rock and it’s fine.
Cynthia Marston I agree
It just sounds nice
Great performance.
I'm waiting for other two ones.

Indimenticabile!!!!
40pence for an MC5 gig- terrific..'Harkwind'..lol..someone fucked up on the Stars poster !!..some great pictures of syd ive never seen before too. Wonderful post - thank you.
I believe it is available on i tunes or spotify. Twink posted the link.
Thank you!
NUMBER ONE!
Hmm, I don't remember hearing this but I commented 2 months ago. Hmmm. There are alot of really interesting guitar parts in this jam. The bass player should have trying to help change the groove when things started sounding monotonous. The guitar players did a good job for what it is. It's a psychedelic jam. Exactly what you'd expect to hear. There's a few really good parts I caught. Even that simple two chord rhythm at one point sounded good.
How were you able to find some of these album covers, photos and especially the concert flyers? This stuff is truly rare to find. I’ve been researching Syd Barrett for over a year and haven’t seen some of these
When you've entered into these realms of RUclips - should you question your own sanity? I mean, Syd Barrett here sounds like he's in a band that is better than Pink Floyd. But that can't be. The drums are way better than any Floyd drums... maybe I have two black holes in my sky too. I love Floyd - but seriously - this is some hot stuff. Selah...
100%
I've got shivers through my back everytime I listen to it!!
No, it really isn't.
Well, darn it, which one is it? Syd on clean or dirty/muddy guitar? I thought Syd played lead on Gigolo Aunt too, but I've read it was Gilmour. So many conflicting stories.
Yes, his sound on Gigolo Aunt is unmistakeable
Frith is the clean guitar. Barrett is the muddy one.
Es una joya.
Sick
Faint glimmers of Barrett in there.
it is he
he was reviewed as "Demented" that's why he quit the band after reading that review
Yes. They said his guitar solos were Demented and that WORD really hurt him. "Demented?!", he exclaimed. And he announced to the band he wouldn't be playing any more. The reviewer has since regretted that review, seeing how it Destroyed Syd. Sad.
Yes, Syd was a very sensitive person to begin with, but by this point, his mental illness had progressed to a really bad place, AND assholes were still spiking his drinks with LSD. Syd was doing drugs on his own, but these assholes were putting megadoses in his drinks - sometimes 3 or 4 different people spiked the drink, not knowing others had already spiked it. People did that kind of thing to icons like Syd and Jim Morrison, in hopes of triggering a creative side and taking credit for triggering something out of them. End result, sadly was some permanent damage. Syd wasn't a stereotype eccentric, like his sister Rosemary said in the BBC interviews. She minimized and downplayed Syd's disposition, denying the mental illness and strange behavior. She did that as anyone would for a family member and help preserve the legend, and Syd's integrity. But too many people in Cambridge had seen the bizarre "Acid/mental illness" behavior, including some violent episodes, many many fires he started, breaking and slamming things, cursing all hours of the night, and other sad behavior. It s those assholes that spike his drinks that need to be held accountable, but i imagine they are locked away somewhere if not dead.
Yes. It makes me sick to think he was surrounded by people who intentionally harmed him. They were NOT friends. They spiked his coffee, tea. and food also. I would have gotten away, far away from these leeches. You are right, he was ultra sensitive. Felt things on a deeper level. Others didn't understand him. He did not have schizophrenia. Roger Waters knows 0 about mental illness, he misrepresents Syd in the interviews. LSD has caused people to jump from buildings to their death. Were they all crazy? NO, it was the drug. Being they type guy he was, LSD didn't help matters. I wish he would have found a few guys that were decent humans and formed a band he would have enjoyed. Shine on You Diamond. Not crazy.
just enjoy the music
GFYB
*One day he just decides never to play again..:(*
SO...where is Syd amongst all of this? Who else is playing here I wonder...apart from Twink and Fred Frith of course. The up front clean guitar is Fred Frith right?
Eddie 'Guitar' Burns? Check the link I put in another comment to a Syd Barrett blog :)
I hear Syd's style in there. I will have to hear it a few more times. But he is in there. I hear it. The other guy seems to be Aping Syd's style though making it harder to pick out.
Victor Gaspar To be fair I didn't make it all the way through, so maybe I need to take the time to listen again, but listening right now, this could be anyone playing. The beginning sounds like someone playing guitar for the first time...ha ha ha. Cheers.
Anthony Monaghan
LOL! You made me laugh for real. I always would listen to Syd and sometimes I would think it sounds like he 'forgot' how to play guitar. Like the lead on Wined and Dined. He is in there. I will have to STUDY this tape in more detail. It's certainly not as easy as it is to pick say Hendrix out of a bunch of guys he's jamming with. But I got a pretty good ear for this. I will try.
7:40SYD!
You got it - everyone else here is mistaking Fred for Syd. You can hear flashes of Syd from there on.
"Harkwind" I love a good typo, don't you?
How is it confirmed that syd was playing there? Are there pictures from the gig? I'm just wondering, i really want to believe it, but he was allegedly in really bad shape after his solo albums. No one would be happier than me if it is syd playing because it sounds beautiful.
Yeah that settles it for me too. Thanks for the upload!
kottfarsen Well It says so in a book I'm reading called Random Precision. I've read maybe every book written about him. Listening to this a bit before I decide for myself. At first listen it certainly sounds like Syd.
+kottfarsen
Read this article which backs this music session which included Syd Barrett:
www.quora.com/What-really-happened-to-Syd-Barrett-in-his-years-of-seclusion
Tis definitely Syd and his Stars band.
syd was in a fragile state psychologically but often played beautifully at the short lived time of stars/boogie band
are there any photos from this show?
music for psychedelic lovers and that is all.
Any pictures of this performance?
!!!
The recording is awful but if you listen carefully you can hear the Sid style..totally free, modern improvised and unique. Thanks
What year is this?
1972
BOM.
Where is Pink FLoyd ?
I think you mean,
"which one's Pink?"
Syd. Was fried at this point
Yes, From all other sources, such as Rick Wright...his mind was too far gone....
Have you got any ears to listen? I suppose you have NOT
IS BARRETT THE LEAD GUITAR ?
psychedelicpiper Implying that Fred Frith's guitar playing is conventional!
j. roshi haha True.
Barrett's guitar is the one with the more distorted muddy sound. It sounds a lot like his guitar on Gigolo Aunt
psychedelicpiper
I think the clear sounding guitar is Fred Frith....At least thats what I read at The Holy Church Of Iggy The Inuit.
But that beginning riff that nobody plays along to thats really muddy and distorted is Syd. He plays it for only a few secs in the beginning.
BETTER WATCH OUT DAVE THE BOOK POLICE ARE WATCHING YOU
Hip as fuck ... even as ragged as it is ...
The healthy Syd Barett was creative. Unfortunately he had the wrong friends. Pink Floyd and Syd were a good match. The Piper... was a good record. His sister Rosmarie once said: His bad times started with Pink Floyd... I think his bad times started with the shared flat that Syd lived in... He hangs out with junkies too much... His two solo records should have been recorded with Pink Floyd, they would have been better musically... Drugs ruin your life. I'm interested in how Syd lived with his illness... Did he ever have therapy???
But roger told me he could hardly play at this point because he drank gallons of acid and remained in a frozen, drooling psychotic state
Twat.
He may have been in this psychotic thing you're talking about but, man! He could still play that Danalectric! I suppose the fact that he didn't sing, but just occasionally mumbled is a clue to the state he was in.
Chaim Yamin Not necessarily, when you're just jamming its cool to just say shit that comes in the moment, i personally think he wasn't fucked up at all like people perceive.
+yayayaokoksure Dodger ...i saw a clip where he says..'and we realised this guy with a pot belly was Sid..We didn't recogise him'...ffs, all that money made off his back and the pricks don't visit him. I adore their music etcetera but that comment and attitude sucked.
I believe he had a suite at the Hilton in central London for several years?
It is just random notes no ?
Syd sucked stop trying to romanticize about it because he isn't what you think he is
Good human be happy that doggie birthed you. your parents lied
Students jamming ? Nothing to hear here. Save your 10 minutes. Oh and I’m a big Syd fan for decades. But this is terrible.
Eddie "Guitar" Burns played the previous day, not on this gig. More info that you ever wanted at: atagong.com/iggy/archives/2014/06/the-last-minute-put-together-reel-story.html
the picture with the crowd in the background look like there looking up to syd magnified .syd beard!
Didn't know this was out !
Sorry is this full nr. 6 track of CD? Between Drinkin’ that wine and Gotta be reason?
ok ok yes it is :-) Barrett ain't plays lead guitar of course..He can't, and otherwise He ain't so good. Finally cd has come! Thanks!!
Maurock Barrett Boo, Syd's guitar playing here is awesome. His playing during this era was more mature and faster than it was with Pink Floyd or on his solo albums. Twink, the drummer, said it himself. How can you say otherwise once you hear that solo in the middle? Sure, it's a rough jam, it takes a bit for Syd to warm up, and he gives room for Fred Frith to play, but when he lets it rip, he lets it rip. His sense of timing and improvisation here is as good as ever. This isn't just hype from a bunch of Sydiots. Listen and learn.
psychedelicpiper
agreed 100%
