- April 29 /1967
Another promotional film was recorded for the song, this time filmed on 29 April near St Michael's Church in Highgate. It is the only known footage of Barrett lip-synching to the song. It was shot in the spring of 1967, around the time that his mental deterioration began.

Syd had it all. Good looks, great voice, unique writing, performing. Only for a short time but we're still talking about it 50 years later.
You are spot-on.
Danm right
Yea he sure did. Totally smitten...😍
Shine on you crazy diamond rip sid barret
He was so cute.
Everyone is talking about Syd but I think we can not ignore how innocent and cute Nick Mason looks.
The best thing is that, after all these years, Nick still looks so darling :))) A lovely man
@@NimrodelMirage And a brilliant drummer.
I think it's great to listen to his plane, to hear how Nick Mason went from his style of play into the more action-packed, cymbal crashing style, while still playing his style. Impossible to miss. His style was unique, non-jazz, self taught if i had to guess.
Syd is like the little kid inside of you that slowly fades away
you're right on the nose
Well said.
Nice FN comment...
@PiotrMaslowski I agree...
SUPER COMMENT.
When Syd died, he left a bank account of nearly two million English pounds, mostly from royalties over the years from record releases by Pink Floyd. Ones where he had a part in certain recordings. He didn't spend much, and lived modestly. Gilmour always made sure Syd got his royalties.
The Syd Barrett era is my favourite of any group in history. Fabulous songwriting. Brilliant playing. I always come back to Syd.
That first "Why can't you see ?" gives me the goose bumps every time. Syd was, and still is, one of the best.
Syd is a perfect specimen of creative artist with the magnetism nobody can resist. Thank you, Roger Keith Barrett.
Roger and Syd play fighting makes me cry happiness wow
Are you sure it was play?
I bet that pompous shithead wanted to punch Syd right then and there
@@WolfgangOSS Don't get carried away by the tabloid press. Roger and Syd were really nice friends. Syd leaved because of his madness, and nothing more. Roger was humble until the album Animals.
They remind of of my cats play-fighting...
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 LOL
Something about when he points at the camera is super badass. Legend
Syd was definitely the looker in that band
Truee
Yep, really to the point mate. You got it.
Irony is not a country next to Iraq.
rabbitss11 What about Waters?
No homo but if I was a chick in that time he would be my midnight thought. Such a talent, RIP. shine on you crazy diamond.
We are here for the see *SYD BARRETT*
Travis Bickle damn right
Do you suppose I'm here to see Comments?Wait I'm seeing em
OMG aooooooo
Hi Travis your grammer in that question iss unacuurate
thats soooo tru
Syd Barrett. Genius at lyrics. Genius at song writing. Genius for putting the words "Pink" and "Floyd" together so that nobody ever forgets them, genius for writing "Astronomy Domine" which contains the formula for Metal and the song that kept Floyd on the radio for five years until Dark Side came out; Genius at singing and playing guitar; genius innovator, ; and Genius at looking amazing.
The pink blues group and floyd something or other inspired it
Adominae
Not a genius, but possessed great talent, which he destroyed
Poor choices
Adominae
If he only could have stayed sane.
@@ralex3697 He could have done much better and much more.
@@ralex3697 i bet you are and you also make great choices
Syd's band, Syd's vision.
Theres no denying Syd was one cool dude...
From @2:27-2:56, his face is just so photogenic, it's just perfect. The saddest story in music, he would have been a massive star, and it was finished almost as soon as it started for him. Poor man.
🥺🥺🥺🔮💎💔💔💔💔
0:03 : backstage on "The Wall" tour
Lol
Let's face it, considering the history of the Waters Floyd, if Syd hadn't deteriorated his way out, Roger probably would have kicked him out in his quest to rule the band.
@@chewycenter7690 In fact, who was the leader of the band since then was syd. I think this claim that Roger would expel syd is unlikely to happen.
@@johncooper4511 Acrimonious break up then? Waters had one track on Piper, nowhere near Syd's level, but by the time he grew to Final Cut Waters, he alienated the entire band. If he carried that wedge throughout with Syd there would have been trouble. Maybe a writing duo band, but I doubt it. Depends on how strong Syd could have been as a leader against him.
@@chewycenter7690 i don't think so, Syd wasn't as egocentric as Roger Waters, he would have ruled the band anyway
One standing still. One continuously walking in circles. The other two fighting to get out. What a genius video.
Syd had an incredibly distinctive voice. He was absolutely heroically handsome. He was a true aesthete. The accolades could go on and on, suffice to say he has been and remains an important part of my life ML x
Jeff Palmar becus he sang in pure british accent unlike other singers who always mix american accent sometimes..
Alisa. Yah
@@lisa_5325 The same with Bowie, he sang in his natural English voice.
@@lesleylesley5821 yes, he took great inspiration from Syd
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 68 "Relics" just out of curiosity. I was 16. The album cover and song titles told me to risk 5 bucks, and man was I blown away. This was before anything like this even closely existed. The next album I bought was Meddle, and that was it. I was hooked. I had a pretty kick ass stereo back then, and my friends would come over, we would turn off the lights, and get stoned, and trip out all night listening to Floyd. Man, I miss those days, we had so much fun.
Erm, Relics came out in 71. Did you mean ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’??
This and see Emily play are the Floyd's greatest songs.
@Douglas Farnsworth what songs of PF is the best by your own opinion?
With out a doubt
Satan Sam
Syd Barrett, one of the most imaginative musicians of the entire sixties period.
Him and Jim Morrison are definitely up there
All periods
not really
Of all time
Genius lyrics. He tells the story succinctly in rhyming verse..."see-through Baby Blue" it doesn't get better than that, except maybe "doors clang, chain gang" Oh, Syd, you were one of a kind for sure.
I find it hilarious watching Syd Barrett and Roger Waters messing around in s mock wrestling match while Rick Wright's wanders around! I love Syd's Lead Vocal in that he sounds very British and not trying to sound like an American! That was very innovative! I also love Rick Wright's Farfisa Organ solo. It's so Psychedelic and futuristic sounding. This track sounds like it was released yesterday. It sounds so contemporary! The Pink Floyd was way ahead of its time. This song was banned by the BBC due to its lyrical content. I empathize with Syd Barrett in that music journalists criticized Barrett, at the time, for writing in their opinion, such a "smutty" song. I think it's a fine lyric and great song!!!
Him and ray davies both used their English roots very damn well
Miss Syd... My best friend bought up all the Syd CD's he could find after he died...
I had to crack up when Syd and Roger were play fighting and Richard briskly walks by. Also, what the hell was Nick looking at? I found that hilarious for some reason. XD
Rick is walking around like he's insane or lost or both
I was LMFAO Too 😂 First thing I thought to myself is ""he's definitely trippin"" Made me have flashbacks of a WONDERFUL ""TRIP"" 😂🤣🤣😂
They were either pretending to trip face or tripping face. Guess which one?
Syd’s facial expressions at 1:57 make my life. SWOON.
2:05
@@simon-di7xt 2:05 is me rethinking my life decisions
I'm really liking this musical vibe from Syd. It's too bad cuz I just learned about him and then I learned about what happened to him.
Such a free spirited droplet. Very deligent and eccentric. Shine on you crazy diamond...
Having played seventeen gigs that month, they filmed a second promo for ‘Arnold Layne’ around St Michael’s Parish Church in Highgate on 29 April. Inspired, Syd belted out his words, glowering with theatrical intensity as he points an accusing finger at the camera. With remarkable passion, Syd points not at Arnold Layne, but at us. The footage captures Syd and Roger wrestling in woods, well matched, though Roger gets the advantage at one point, only to be surprised by Barrett, echoing the musical duel of Pan and Apollo.
Someone’s been reading ‘Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd: Dark Globe’ by Julian Palacios.
Syd was always an adorable faun.
Have ye got it yet?
@@RedArrow73 Have ya got it yet?! Classic!
@@stephendarcy9803sounds like I should as well.
The fighting between Syd and Roger with Roger prevailing is prophetic.
This is my favourite era of Pink Floyd, which is saying something because much of it is brilliant.
Same, here.
Yup, Agree !
Oh the eccentric English. Love them.
Be still my beating heart Syd Barrett💘
they were all so charming but Syd was Prince Charming ....🍓💋
YES!
I know an I’m a straight male.
@@DrummerJay74 So beautiful even hetero men question their sexuality!
A very The Doors-type of 60's Pink Floyd song featuring the one and only Syd Barrett. Rest In Peace, Syd.
My heart goes out to Syd Barrett. R.i.p you brilliant man
vegetable man
Syd is/was beautiful. His gaze into the camera is mesmerizing. His lyrics and voice were so cool. He was genuinely one of a kind. I hope he truly lived out the rest of his life in happiness in his own way and is at peace now. R.I.P Roger Kieth Barrett❤
Remembering Syd 13 years gone 😭 7/7/2019. He was a beautiful man child. He was brilliant. He was the pioneer of psychedelic rock. Many bands cover his music today. He is still relevant. He is an enigma.
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See-through baby blue
He dug it
Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Now he's caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it
Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne don't do it again
Syd is a sweet guy, I can see that!
prove it mate
@Douglas Farnsworth were did you here that?
If there is one person to sum up the era of the 60s with all its strangeness and excesses with drugs and creativity it would be Syd Barrett. The kids today are not so creative as they are more realistic and driven by good careers and materialism. Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
How I wish that there were much more of songs from Syd. As weird or silly as they can sometimes be, you just gotta love them :)
Haunting from this perspective some 55 years later…but brilliant. I love the chord changes and the range of the melody from high to those low notes! Absolutely wonderful.
Filmed in Wittering East Sussex in February 1967. Directed by David Nice. “Arnold Lane” was the first ever Pink Floyd single and was recorded on the 29th January 1967. The B-side of the single was called “Candy and a currant bun ”. I’m old and was there. A magical time when music was really music . . . . . . .
Brilliant. Yes, Syd had everything back then, and yes, a very VERY good looking young chap.
That is the guitar sound that even propelled PF even after Syd Barrett left (Delay, Echo and Reverb) Revolutionary for 1966/67
What a fantastic band. From arnold layne. See Emily play. Shine on you crazy diamond. Dark side of the moon. And later on high hopes. Thanks for the brilliant music.
What a cool Promotional clip for "Arnold Layne!" I've never seen this clip. Some of this footage was used on the studio version, original 1967 mix, of "Vegetable Man" elsewhere on RUclips. Rick Wright is the unsung hero in The Pink Floyd story! His "Farfisa" Organ solo is so Psychedelic, unorthodox and inventive!!! R.I.P. RICHARD WILLIAM "RICK" WRIGHT.
would have been 72 years old today Happy Birthday Syd
Damn, i miss that time! Wish we could back 50 years, even for 1 day!
A genius of a song from beginning to end.
"See Emily Play" was another timeless classic.
There is something way more deep in this video than the commercial one. The conflict represented with balled up fists, Syd looking straight into the camera and asking us why don't we see? I see now, but it's long too late. Always a fan, always weep when I see and hear him.
Is that Richard moving out smartly at the beginning? Cracks me up.
Is Nick
Pure beauty. pure artistry
Great video! This video doesn't answer any questions but only adds to the mystery of the life of Syd Barrett.
Why can't you see?!?
Mike Fropmozzle
What mystery ?
He blew his mind and died in obscurity
Sad indeed, Pink Floyd’s continued success, he was not a part of
Young man made poor choices
I always thought Marc Bolan was trying to channel Syd in his music and image.
He was insightful. The capacity of depth that mind had surprised me.
I had the first 45 rpm with arnold layne and see emily play
cool mate
You: 2:06
Vs the guy she tells you not to worry about: 1:11
good thing i look like syd
LMFAO
DAMN
Jimmy page hmu LOLL
🤣😠
Why can't you see? 😯
It took over 50 yrs for me to hear this for the first time !?!? I am by no means a mainstream music lover but still noone ever turned me on to the real Pink Floyd ? I wish we had the internet in the 70s !
Syd was Weird and crazy AND THATS AMAZING ✨💝🌼🌸🎀💖🌷💗😍
Weird, crazy, talented and BEAUTIFUL!
1:56 The best performance in the history of Syd , it is certainly the best part! 💎🎶✨🎸
I hope they make a movie about how Pink Floyd came together and what happened to Syd Barret. That would be worth a watch. Too me, that man is a legend. This song shows his humor. Mocking Arnold Lane "Arnold Layne Had a strange hobby" How can you not laugh?? He wrote the song how it was .... Genius!!!
Annie Fitzsimmons
Almost every Pink Floyd documentary is about Syd
His trajectory was boring, the success of Pink Floyd came from his replacement David Gilmour, a committed musician as well as Roger Waters
Syd Barrett not so much, he was the Brian Jones of Pink Floyd
They both chose to waste their talent by taking TOO many substances
Sad but not legendary by any stretch
Nobody could play Syd.
@@ralex3697there are rock stars still living from this period who were human Guinea Pigs from the age of 15. The issue is that Syd was not someone who should have been using these drugs with these people. The original problem is that when Dr. Hoffman synthesized lysergic acid for the first time it was so unique in science that it was misunderstood. Nobody knew what to do with this stuff. At some point in the 20 years between the famous bicycle ride and Syd Barrett taking his first trips the genie was let out of the bottle. Something that should have been kept in a psychiatrist lab to help people free themselves from their hangups was getting into the brains of main stream and underground people all over Europe and the world. By the time researchers had recognized LSD’s qualities to get people off of dangerous drugs, for instance, it was too late.
my favorite dorks ♡
They’re just plain beautiful and this song is such a gem
this song and a Pink Floy early-career classic, very nostalgic
I remember this so well. 1967, or thereabouts. Great little tune.
En lo personal considero a syd incomparable, un genio que nunca morirá porque vive en sus canciones. dejaste toda tu emocionalidad en ellas y no puede haber algo más real♥️♥️♥️ gracias maestro, siempre te llevo en el corazón roger keith barrett ♥️🎶
Cant get this song out of my head.........so I keep playing it
The originator of the goth look.
Morticia Addams was the inventor of the Goth looksie
And glam, well before that (Bowie and Marc Bolon owed a tremendous debt to Syd both image-wise and musically)
Syd copied Bob Dylan supposedly.
Love the way Rick walks around at the beginning
Well that was odd. And completely new to me. Thanx for posting!
relics
What a strange beautiful mind.
I love the pink floyd of syd barrett!! An unrepeatable experience in history!! Few bands like this have been... I recently found a band that you should know: "La rueda o el barco" It's like a pink floyd but of now. Opinion!!
I totally agree with you, Inventor. There are very few songs that resonant with or move me after Syd left -- or, really, quite anything a few years later (after '73 or so). Will check out your band recommendation.
Great tip, Inventor! Totally cool band and does sound at first like a tribute to the Barrett Pink Floyd. Amazing. They have their own interesting psychedelic sound. Love it. Can you tell us more about La rueda o el barco? Argentine? Their soulfulness reminds me a bit of Aterciopelados.....
thanks bro,,,
I don't like them after Sid left!
GOLD SYD BARRETT
i wish i could’ve been friends with them
Amazing... on another level.
Very nice pics of Syd.
Oh yes!
1:33 my favorite part
I dig all of Floyd upto and including The Wall, but I have a particular soft spot for the Syd era. He has such a sure sense of songcraft. Amazing riffs and effects. A wonderful, unique voice. Insanely good looks. I also love how well he harmonized with Wright; I thought their early work had the best vocal harmonies.
can somebody put 2:30 on a t-shirt?
I WANTED TO SAY THIS TOO, IT LOOKS LIKE JIM MORRISON'S YOUNG LION POSE
I know, right? I have a screen grab of that made into a wallpaper of my computer.
I did, if you want to buy it
Just screenshot it and put it on a custom t-shirt on Amazon
He really had the face, the camera loves a face like that. It has that intangible something.
Amazing video !!!! Thanks , a brillant Syd
Syd lives!
Such a great song,written and sung by a genius
It's a tribute to Pink Floyd's virtuosity that half a century after they wrote a song about a neighborhood weirdo with a fetish for stealing clothes from clotheslines, here we fans all are, enjoying this cute amateur music video in awe (and affection)!
Pink Floyd's very first record, and their only one produced by legendary American producer, Joe Boyd.
I found MV this version long long times!! Thanx verrry mucccch!
Hermoso es ver a Syd en sus días de gloria!!
Monica Lis Sandoval es cierto,hace cuanto lo escuchas?
Everyone talking about Syd and Floyd, but no one talking about the dancing chick lol. Dark, weird and sexy at the same time
This is Yanka Dyagileva.

Seguís brillando Syd !!!!💎 Demasiado talento....💎
Why Can't Ya See?
SYD pazzo divino diamante, come avrei voluto conoscerti. Brilli ancora oggi e brillerai all'infinito. Stupendi gli esordi dei Pink Floyd, e fino ad oggi anche se l'immensa assenza di Syd e Richard mancano. Non ci sarà più nessuno come voi.
I was given a cassette years ago that was supposed to be the Beatles. It turned out to be Pink Floyd's "Relics". Hooked.
Those sweet drugged boys used to be so small and now they are old and some of them are dead but they had a good time together and I think thats a peacefull thought
Edit: fuck Im missing syd
Syddy and Ricky are in the afterlife, having tea and awesome jam sessions.
@@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 and oysters and Acid
Beautiful boys! 🌝💝💐🎀✨
Oh, yes! Every one of them! I'm into Syd and Rog, myself. The pretty little foofy-haired faun and his big grumpy centaur friend.
I think of Syd as alive and well and restored to his cute, bouncy, pre-breakdown self in the hereafter.
If they were critters....
* Syd the bunny.
* Roger the horsey.
* Rick the kitty.
* Nick the beaver.
Then the bunny became a march hare and was replaced by the lion, David.
I like to imagine an alternate universe where Syd never had a mental breakdown, was able to cope with rock stardom yet Floyd was all five guys. Imagine that scenario.
@@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 my dream scenario ^^
Many thanks for sharing this :)
This fighting scene is hilarious. They are so freaky silly! Love Roger and Syd is so beautiful
I love the way they were so ahead of their time and together they made it happen and believed in this. I wish things were different and Syd never diminished. But then on the flip side, Gilmour wouldn't have happened. So not sure how to look at this. Maybe they all came together and are still playing in some other universe.
