This has to be one of the most haunting renditions of Matilda Mother they did. Rick's wah-wah organ solo in the middle is genuinely creepy, and it reflects this air of uncertainty over what was happening with Syd. I'm sure it was equally unnerving for Syd to hear something like that.
Wright sang lead or co-vocals on many (if not most) songs of Pink Floyd's classic psychedelic era. Only when David replaced Sid in early '68 did Rick begin to sing lead less and less, eventually ceding lead vocal duties outright to Roger and David by the time of DSTOM.
There was a king who ruled the land. His majesty was in command. With silver eyes the scarlet eagle Showers silver on the people. Oh Mother, tell me more. Why'd'ya have to leave me there Hanging in my infant air Waiting? You only have to read the lines They're scribbly black and everything shines. Across the stream with wooden shoes With bells to tell the king the news A thousand misty riders climb up Higher once upon a time. Wandering and dreaming The words have different meaning. Yes they did. For all the time spent in that room The doll's house, darkness, old perfume And fairy sories held me high on Clouds of sunlight floating by. Oh Mother, tell me more Tell me more. Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah
He performed properly way more than he played one note or stood hands off vacant. They were touring....Syd needed respect and help. Might have made a difference. Yup. Fragile. Shame
@@cynthiamarston2208 maybe his suger was low ffs that makes you catotonic and confused,at the end of the day the straight middle class boys were scared of anything a bit different and totally shat on their "friend"
anything Syd is worth a listen!
I love syds writing style
He was a good songs's writer and a pretty good singer,but also drummer and mister wright had a lot of talent
Rick wright and syd Barrett vioces blend so good together amazing

finally a live version
wow a live early pink Floyd song where you can hear syd
I didn't realise it was RICHARD WRIGHT singing lead through most of the verses until I read it somewhere. Now it seems obvious.

Can't wait to get my first Telecaster, thanks to all the inspiration from Syd
He played an esquire!!!
@@mr.nazareth4501 yeah which are impossible for me to afford so I got a white tele. Thinking of building my own "esquire" however
London's psychedelic golden boy!! What a price he paid!!
Once again, proof that Syd had good days and bad days in 67, 68, etc. This was a good day😊
Beautiful version

Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Can hear Caravans future organ sound here
Psychedelic-Egiptian style like Sun Ra and an extra shot of tenderness from Syd Barrett
There’s no Sun Ra here…
Beautiful!

Too bad it cuts out at the end before the song is over.

Cynthia Marston Waters is a dickhead
marina m drummer was a dick too....
Did you ever see Floyd
His band mates were in their early twenties, give them a break.

Why does it stop?
Roger Waters tenía aspecto raro cuando era joven
Look at Roger Waters he looks so great i love him so
Roger Waters is amazing other than him hating Jews and being pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine. Otherwise, an amazing human being.
