Live, Los Angeles, 1967 American Bandstand
American Bandstand. Dick Clark asked some yes-or-no questions to Barrett, who got through the appearance without incident.
The next day, the band was booked on The Pat Boone Show, which didn't go nearly as well. When they recorded their performance, Barrett refused to lip-synch, instead just staring into the cameras when they were rolling. To solve the problem, Roger Waters mimed the song in his place. The tour was cut short after Barrett de-tuned his guitar and just made random sounds with it during a concert at the Fillmore West. He was replaced for live shows by David Gilmour soon after.
Syd Barrett is still one of my favorite musicians in existence.
YEAH
Dark Globe .
Yea, same here.
Like all revered artists and musicians, Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett was the real deal!
Yeah he's in my top 3, he never gets old to me.
The middle section is so beautiful, and is an early foreshadowing to their unique chord progressions. Proof that Syd had important influence, contrary to a lot of opinions
Yes! Or the end to scarescrow like how the hell did were they doing that in the 60s?
@@enriquemendez1507 the music at the end of the scarecrow is beautiful,why didn't Syd Barrett and pink Floyd play more of this type back then? pillows of winds is good too as is Grantchester meadows.
I've never heard anyone say he didn't have influence on the rest of the band and their further songs, I mean how could he not as the guy who started it all for all those years with them. Unlikely they'd have even become well known musicians if they hadn't been with him and inspired by his mould breaking creativity in the first place, and the rest of the band say as much themselves. So not sure what you're referring to with saying 'contrary to opinion'
@@Andy-hc1bt You'd be surprised that a huge chunk of Floyd fans never even knew about Syd or if they did thought he was just "that crazy guy who was in the band at first." Syd's impact went far beyond the band but generations of artists, especially the late 70s punk era. The ones who'd wear "I hate Pink Floyd" shirts were actually quite fond of Syd
hence the term progress(ive) rock
What a beautiful man Syd really was. Star quality.
😍😍😍🥹🥹🥹💔❤️
How would you even know what type of an individual he was unless you actually knew him
The way Syd just looks right in the camera like "I do not want to be doing this" is the most punk thing before punk existed and I love it.
Haha yeah. “Vegetable Man” is astoundingly punk-ish considering it came out about the same time as this as well.
I think by this time he lost his mind he just stare blankly
@@kvrma8893 He didn't lose his mind, try reading some actual books by him instead of relying on what Waters or Gilmour said which was basically just an attempt at justifying why they kicked him out of the band. Not to mention all the shitty myths online. He even tried to rejoin in 1969 and they wouldn't let him.
that was likely because his burnout began during the us tour, which is also when his symptoms of schizophrenia started immerging.
@@flyingfoamtv2169 He never had schizophrenia lol. Roger Waters just didn't have anything else to call it. Even Gilmour doesn't believe in that nonsense. His burnout started much sooner than this anyway, they had to cancel every show in August
Topic ~ "APPLES AND ORANGES." Quote by "SYD BARRETT" ~ "It's unlike anything we've ever done before. Got a lot of Guitar in it. It's a happy song, and it's got a touch of Christmas. It's about a girl who I saw just walking round town in Richmond. The 'apples and oranges' bit is the refrain in the middle."
This is one of the most British Tunes I've ever heard.
I could absolutely tell that the rest of Pink Floyd were completely nervous during this performance because of Syd's unpredictable behaviours and erratic tendencies. When Clark starts asking them questions, everyone else (especially Roger) becomes even more nervous in case Syd refuses to talk.
Syd didn't feel like doing any of that either !!
@@domeck6482 No, he started experiencing problems in 1967, because that's when he started taking acid.
@@domeck6482 Yeah, but those are just pictures. Nick Mason's book "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd" (which I own) states that Syd began going crazy mentally in 1967. Just because they looked happy in those pictures from '67 doesn't mean they were.
@@saint_yves the first half of 67 was when everything was fine, the first signs came around summer of that same year. But when September came around, that's when Syd was gone as seen here. :(
@@domeck6482 WRONG. The problems started with Syd in May of 1967. Get your facts straight.
Syd doesn't seem to be crazy and quite lucid, Roger is very charming and Rick is as always, a true gentleman. Nick is obviously enjoying this interview
He appears 'OK" and answers questions, but that blank stare is a little foreboding..
@@jamesaron1967 You can tell he’s barely there. 😢
@@vincentscarpitti734ya he looks like he’s stoned 😢
I disagree, he's very aware of himself , moving his guitar out of the way to let the presenter get by.
over 50 years ago and this song is still innovative
Yes, it's a good song. One of his best, but innovative's such a contentious word
Jeez, look how young Rick was...
May him and Syd Rest in Peace
CLIFF JONES ~ "Wish You Were Here",1996 ~
"When staying with Lynsey [Korner] ... [Syd] would spend much of his time simply wandering the streets window shopping and meandering along the banks of the Thames. One day, he noticed an attractive young woman doing her window shopping and decided to follow her.
He trailed her for hours, finally ending up at the duck pond a short bus ride away on Barned Common.
Syd's recollection of this afternoon's light stalking became 'Apples And Oranges'"...
“Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky...”
At this moment, Syd was different, his eyes had an empty look.
Paulo Leal People say that about any clip or photo where you can visibly see Syd Barrett when in reality he only visibly started looking removed about a month before he was kicked out of the band. In this clip he actually looks quite normal
It's his anger at the music industry for suffocating him. He HATED lipsyncing and he was forced to do it on this show. He knew roger was going to betray him.
Oh my god... His eyes are normal. You only see what you want to see. The same thing can be said about, I don't know, Ringo Starr's eyes or Stanley Kubrick's eyes or even Bob Dylan's eyes.
@@AmarilloMusicAB That's not true. The band has stated by the time they traveled to the US for the first time Syd was already different. Look at the Astronomy Domine from the Keller show. Or when they perform See Emily Play. Syd looked a lot different.
I mean come on. I know most people are very sensationalist and exaggerated when it comes to Syd, but look at him here. He's either gone already or higher than a fucking kite.
James Hetfield More like disinterested, dissatisfied and thrown on purpose in his drug binging. Sure he was high but it was because he just stopped caring. And honestly man you want the truth so you go to public statements? You can’t trust those. They can tell the public whatever they want you can’t just believe everything you hear
don't know why but i love that song so much
Danaé Saby it's an amazing track.
True Masterpiece
Dear Corinne, The Pink Floyd were rushed in the studio to finish the recording. Their record label, EMI, wanted another hit single! Roger Waters said that "Apples And Oranges" was "a fucking good song" but that Floyd Producer Norman Smith was to blame for the bad production and the record not selling well. Syd Barrett said of his composition. ROGER KEITH "SYD" BARRETT ~ "It's a happy song and it's got a touch of Christmas. It's about a girl I saw walking round town in Richmond." Raul.🙂
I think it’s one of his lesser songs. The chorus in particular is pretty dippy. To each their own.
the best pink floyd song
can we just take a moment to appreciate rick?? such an underrated but fucking talented musician.
Damn...Syd was gone by this point. His eyes tell it all. R.I.P. to a real genius. Too smart for his own good...
Jim Smart eye liner?
"Remember that look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky?" Roger was not joking when he wrote that lyric.
jimmy smart ,not .. what makes you an expert ?
Everything happens for a reason. If Syd hadn't flipped, they'd have never got Gilmour in and I don't think they'd have become one of the best bands in the world.
I'm not saying you're wrong but maybe he looks like that because they forced them to mime the song. I'd be pissed too.
syd was truly the original creative genius of the pink floyd sound. honestly heartbreaking to see how gone his eyes are here, he was one of the greatest minds of progressive rock. a true artist who did it for the ART. rest in peace crazy diamond
"Syd, I noticed on the album you wrote most of the songs."
"Yeah, that's right."
Haha
I always lol at that too.
Of course he did ... I just dropped $470 on Syd this week ... I’m feeling pretty pink right about now ... I love she she loves me ... see you, see you, see youuuuuuu
He was a genius but didn’t know it
@@jarrettgardner0628 that's a cool part of that song isn't it can you imagine Syd singing I'm feeling very pink way back then
on his Wikipedia page it says he was terse and seen as rude to Dick Clark. Maybe that's what they were talking about. lol.
Syd, so beautiful, so sweet! God bless you, legend! I love you forever and ever!
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating rare footage, I've never seen before in great quality as well. There's such an interesting and tragic story behind all of this rare footage of Syd Barret and the birth of Pink Floyd. 👍
4:08 I think I caught a glimpse of Syd’s soul through his eyes and it spooked me. I’m going to talk to Richard now.
haha yes Syd seems to have realised everything is BS and quite pointless to pretend otherwise. Rick however seemed oblivious to all that and was enjoying playing a very silly n cute song courtesy of Syd's brain before it saw the dark.
@@robotcitizen101 agree. By all accounts Syd absolutely despised these things!✌
OP comment is underrated, it really is quite funny. Dick just got spooked to the fullest! Lol🤣
Syd being a total alpha is the best thing ever
Bahahaha
1:32 "I love sheeeep!" - Best non-sequitor line ever, even better than "'s'cuse me while I kiss this guy."
This is rock music from another planet.
When you have one of the greatest rock bands of all time on your stage and you want to talk about cheeseburgers.
Lmao
Well they weren't at the time lol, that was their first ever album. Yeah, it was great, but it has nothing on their later albums
NintendoCokeBear
When you want to read smart comments and you run into jerky ones.
@@teoricopractico6170 when I love you and you're a cutie
i thought he was talking about apples and oranges?!?!?!?
lolz
Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top, shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town
Feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people, she's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye, then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
See you
Thought you might like to know
I'm her lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side, feeding ducks in the afternoon tide
(Quack quack)
Apples and oranges

Dick was absolutely terrified of Syd! "Uh, excuse me Syd."lol🤣
Syd and Skip (his American counterpart) are jamming psych in the hereafter. Man, I sure hope to see and hear that great gig in the sky one fine day...if I be a good boy that is. Bless you both. you mad musical geniuses.
Syd looks like he could've be in a punk band
DauxzoGaming Sex Pistols
@@vivaldireal1741 John Lydon was a great fan of early Floyd, especially the song Arnold Layne
Close your eyes, listen "vegetable Man" writen by Syd, and imagine him in a punk band
Listen to "One in a Million" Syd's guitar playing is punk!
Now you understand why Vicious called himself Syd.
Rest easy, Syd. Man, that stare.. Saw the exact same thing happening to a dear friend of mine, but after years of hard living. Same blank stare. Never been the same.
Syd was totally alright... He was jet-lag. . He answered the question that was asked of him... Too much negative nonsense been written about him... He was totally alright.
@@johnmacaroni105 In this performance, perhaps, but not later in that year.
The more you know the harder it is to be happy.
The more you know ? Syd Barrett was damaged beyond repair. He hardly knew what day it was much of the time and this interview is a miracle as he'd have peaks and troughs, according to those who knew him. Romancing brain damage doesn't help anyone. He lived the rest of his life as functional and relatively content and that is a good thing.
@@allaboutthebclicksinnit1148 clearly referring to what led him to abuse so many drugs he broke his mind. But ya know, assume, looks fun.
"now there's a look in your eyes ...
Like black holes in the sky ...."
03:09 Syd can even sing without using his mouth,
Dudududu
he could sing better using telepathic
Next level my friend
Now that's straight LSD as fuck bruhh
@@Son-Of-David1990 Syd was schizophrenic. The disease got worse because of the use of psychedelic drugs
That they went from this absurd meringue to a fully fledged studio album that has stayed in the Top 100 since it's inception is incredible
Out with Syd and in with David, that did it !! 🤷🏻♂️
@@SirManflythat and 6 years of trying
Without that 'absurd meringue' what you mention would not even exist. To discredit the Barrett era is to have no idea about absolutely anything.
@norwegianwally if this was all they were ever going to come up with , they would have drifted into obscurity .
There would Never have been 2 of the most incredible heartfelt albums of the 20th century , under fresh reins if Syd hadn't checked out
@@chateaupig826 One was partially and the other was fully about Syd
During their lip sync performance as well as during the interview afterwards you can see all four members, especially Syd Barrett, think: “Is this what showbusiness is about? Well, then screw it!”.
He hated attention and publicity. Kind of a problem for a rock star
No, you're projecting your own feelings onto them.
The thin line between genius and insanity.
wright and barret seem like brothers
Syd like "Trust me! This will get me outta my contract!"
“Nick, nice to see you”
D Escalade Me lol
😭😭😂
Homie was rattled by Syd’s death stare lol
I love The Pink Floyd.
Thanx Syd for the apples and oranges.
Some odd questions from Dick Clark, but what a nice interview and how pleasant each of the guys were. I dont think it was registering with anyone that they'd be one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
Funny how the first thing he asked is what they ate... but what is even crazier is that, from all of the footage from this period (maybe not this one as it was lip synced, but the live performances in Copenhagen, Rotterdam, and Stockholm), Syd is consistently on top form.... supposedly the time he was "breaking down"... that is not the guitar work of someone who has lost it, so either whatever happened to him was very quick (something within one month perhaps), or it is simply not real
@@thomascraymer8712 First indications something was off with Syd started to surface around mid-1967, perhaps in the spring of that year. I don't think it became a serious problem until late summer/fall of '67, after the release of TPATGOD, but what happened to Syd was VERY real. I saw a recent interview with Roger Waters from only a few years back. Syd's demise was devastating to the band. He said it was "existential", meaning If it was not for David Gilmour's quick replacement and Roger starting to write songs Pink Floyd may not have survived Syd's departure.
@@jamesaron1967 Yeah I can agree there, the first indications were probably that spring/summer, but there was also the "lost weekend" (mid-summer perhaps?), and the fact that people would be constantly spiking his drinks. So that part is definitely real, something definitely happened to him in those few months
What I meant was that it's often said he was unable to perform due to what happened, but we have recordings from that autumn where Syd is on top form, and even the Top Gear gig in December, Syd is still there, and on pretty good form. So the idea that Syd was unable to perform any more is very much an exaggeration.
That said, I do hope footage of PF with both Syd and David surfaces! Would certainly be interesting to hear
@@thomascraymer8712 OK, I see what you're saying. Yes, he was able to perform. He became more and more erratic and unpredictable as 1967 progressed. By the fall, although hope persisted there was growing doubt by the other band members that he could continue as a full-time contributor. But you're right that the widely held perception Syd could not perform at all is not true. He had his good moments. If that weren't the case then his two solo albums that came later would not have been possible.
@@jamesaron1967 Definitely! Some of Syd's finest moments are on his solo albums, such as "Late Night", "Dominoes", and possibly his greatest solo song, "Opel"... that song definitely should have been on "Madcap Laughs"
Roger should have said " Yes , we really enjoy the Apples and Oranges " .
I love how the interviewer specifically shouts out Nick after just having met the band.
Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever in my opinion. Second place Queen
Dick Clark takes one look at Syd up close and quickly shifts as far away from him as possible... "There be dragons!"
Lipsynching is Utter Cancer. Here we have a legendary, talented band in it's short-lived lineup with its original singer with so little existing footage from this era... and we don't even get a real performance, just them awkwardly trying to match with a pre-recorded tape.
In an era when all the artists we're taking LSD & trying to make songs that mirrored the experience of it. It was this apperance by "The Pink Floyd" that made people go "Wait & minute, this song is on another frequency, it's very unusual, this Syd guy is out of his mind" Dick Clark wants no part of Syd when he talks to the band, lol.........Syd was a true Genius 🥰 RIP Syd & Rick, another true Genius 🥰
BEAT INSTRUMENTAL #57 - SYD BARRETT GUITARIST OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER,1967.
Quotes by SYD BARRETT - ''A couple of months ago, I spashed out a couple of hundred on a new Guitar, but I still seem to use that first one (Julien's note: The Guitar was Syd's famed Fender Esquire). It's been painted several times, and once I even covered it in plastic sheeting and silver discs. Those discs are still on the Guitar, but they tend to look a bit worn. I haven't changed anything on it, except that I occasionally adjust the pickups when I need a different sound. Who are my idols? Well, Steve Cropper is an obvious choice, and so is Bo Diddley. In the old days, he was a great influence on both me and the group. No, I don't think they influence me now. At least, I'm not conscious of it. Apart from being a good Guitarist, I don't really have any ambitions...yet I haven't been in the business that long''
Look at his face. He was so far away...a genius mind, amazing singer, amazing guitarist, amazing songwriter. But LSD and pills in excess brought schizophrenia. Syd was amazing, so indifferent on this performance. Miss you crazy diamond
An untreated schizophrenic wouldn't be able to produce solo albums and write songs the way he did, definitely not schizophrenic, trust me on that. Definitely not as crazy as he was made out to be either.
@@stickytoastcrunch5500 Wrong dear...my uncle have the paranoid schizophrenia, but is very clever and talk normally. However, sometimes during the day he looks like Syd, looking for the walls, talking to himself, sometimes says things without sense, have hallucinations, you talk to him and he didn't answer, have visions, hear sounds, start to laugh alone...Syd was an schizophrenic
FERNANDO MARINELLI well first of all its implied that Syd had disorganised schizophrenia as opposed to paranoid schizophrenia. Secondly, the longer it's untreated the more out of touch with reality the sufferer becomes. And Syd was never diagnosed, and I don't think he's acting particular odd here either just a bit dazed, which doesn't have to be schizophrenia it can anything, even depression. Also, lsd doesn't cause schizophrenia it can just worsen symptoms of it or set it off prematurely but in no way is acid responsible for schizophrenia.
@@stickytoastcrunch5500 Well...who knows the real situation?! Schizophrenic, Asperger, depression, doesn't matter. I love his voice, his songs, the style that he created. Madcap Laughs is amazing, out of time, broken rhythms, but that was new, was simple and became a masterpiece with Terrapin, so deep, Octopus, Long Gone, No good Trying...perfect! Barrett is awesome, great songs, like Wolfpack, Rats, Baby Lemonade and Love Song. Perfect album!!! Opel is so dark, full of great moments and have my favorite song from Syd, Milky Way. The crazy diamond will live forever in our hearts. Was a pleasure to talk about Syd with you. See ya.
FERNANDO MARINELLI madcap laughs genuinely saved my life. Yeah the whole point of the sound was that it was unrefined. Random precision. Syds songs were more art than constructed musical pieces. No man's land is my favourite on the album, and Terrapin was the first song I learnt to play on the guitar. My favourite song that Syd wrote is Jugband Blues though. Or candy and a current bun because that one was sexual AF lol. I just don't like people assuming that he was schizophrenic and throwing that diagnosis out when in fact it's more likely that he was eccentric. After all, he was an artist.
Fantastic!! Did not know they made the rounds of American TV with Syd--great upload!
Am I the only one who thinks that Rick is absolutely adorable in this video? The smile he gives at 4:19 is so sweet ❤️
Katya Lavrentyeva Richard William "Rick" Wright was such a soft spoken gentleman! He had such a humble and sweet demeanor.
I just can't believe Roger Waters would ever have considered firing Rick! But he did!
Rick Wright is my all~time favorite Pop/Rock Organist!
Rick's various solos on "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" are so Psychedelic and mesmerizing! Rick's solo on the "Live At Pompeii" is especially gripping.
But, I must say, Wright's solo on "Scream Thy Last Scream (Old Woman With A Casket) just blows my mind!
No homo, but Rick is adorable in any circumstance
I think you just like his hair tbh.
Syd was not gone yet here. The whole band feels a little out of place lip syncing their own song and it shows. On another note, Apples & Oranges has the basic structure that was used in many modern rap songs. Thank you Pink Floyd for so many contributions to music.
Everyone here saying "look at him,its so crazy,out of his mind,gone" and all this thing..i think it was against lip sync,TV shows and all this sort of things,he was a truly great artist and beside what he could have gone trought,he didnt care about success or being in that normal line.
So i think its all that!
@@anticosepolcro7354 He went crazy - it's the usual slander. I agree with you. Syd stops lip synching altogether at the end of Apples and Oranges after a half assed attempt all throughout. He was very clearly making a point!
I’ve just watched an interview with Roger and he openly states this is the show that the rapid decline starts in Sid. Where Roger walks into the hotel room & Sid has let the cigarette burn to the skin through two fingers. Sad really
@@ChrisBmufc Instead of listening to Waters, try listening to the interview with Syd's sister Rosemary that she made after his death.
@@SelfEvident I'm sure they are both wrong. But their impressions have some value.
They were on American Bandstand?? wow. lol..
so young they were. long live The Pink Floyd..💎
Syd Barrett looked and sounded fine.
What did you expect, someone like David Lee Roth, dancing and jumping?!
In today's world, his demeanor would be called Shoe gaze
It breaks my heart so much because it's Pink Floyd and of course is Syd there but if you see his eyes he is not there anymore and it looks like his soul was gone. As somebody said, he has an empty look...
Man, times have changed. In the 80's the only way I could get my hands on this was through a crappy sounding radio bootleg.
such good quality
love syd with all my soul
That's why Pink Floyd is one of the best rock bands of all time ..
Wish you were here, Syd.
These is pure GOLD!
Released on this day(November 18) in 1967 "Apples & Oranges" Floyd's 3rd single. Thanks for posting HDPinkFloyd. Cheers!🥨
Syd is clearly the genius behind it all..can see it in the Eye.
Eyes like piss holes in the snow.
I love this man. And i am a 61 year-old male.
Syd era um gatinho!!!
vdd,foi um homem belíssimo.
MELODY MAKER AUGUST 5,1967. INTERVIEW WITH ROGER WATERS BY CHRIS WELCH. Quotes by ROGER WATERS - ''We're being frustrated, at the moment, by the fact that to stay alive we have to play lots and lots of places and venues that are not really suitable. This can't last obviously and we're hoping to create our own venues.'' '' We all like our music. That's the only driving force behind us. All the trappings of becoming vaguely successful like being able to buy bigger amplifiers - none of that stuff is really important.'' ''We've had problems with our equipment and we can't get the P.A. to work because we play extremely loud. It's a pity because Syd writes great lyrics and nobody ever hears him.''
The interviewer should have won a prize for inanity. Even by sixties standards, this is über-crass. You've just been listening to absolutely unique music and what do you ask? "Waddya think about American food?" The lads all bravely toe the line like good English middle-class kids do and give polite answers, including Syd. No, Syd did not look out of it at all - he looked typical Syd. He certainly looked pissed off with having to mime, and being asked daft questions though.
He is now holding a very rare album
"Listen, what the flower people saaaayyyy""
t .byrne my favorite movie and my favorite band
You missed the "Shhh"
Cups and Cakes!
Richard Wright must have been the father of dear Luke Perry ... Damn, how they looked alike !!! May they rest in peace !!!
Syd was a true creative( genius as a state of being rather than doing): what mysteries resided in his brain.
"Syd, I noticed your eyelids are looking awful heavy"
It is not generally known that all the members of The Pink Floyd contracted venereal diseases during their '67 American Tour!
Another note is that Syd Barrett had his hair permed at an unknown "Vidal Sassoon" beauty salon and they didn't do a very good job as evidenced in this clip.
Syd did not seem so far away as they claimed. He seemed to react very normal for a guy who was supposed to have all but dissapeared.
He was just unenthusiastic about having to mime a song the execs had forced them to write in an attempt to be more popular.
His effect is totally flat. He’s disoriented and acting bizarrely. He’s socially withdrawn and fearful. In other words, the initial signs of schizophrenia. It doesn’t mean he’s totally psychotic. Its a spectrum like depression.
@@teddmented how is he acting disoriented whatsoever? Have you ever seen someone disoriented before? So he stared out into the camera like he was bored he answered each question totally appropriately. Is he looking around and falling down? Wandering around? Unable to answer questions? Everybody has flat affect when they're bored. He's not acting any different than anyone else on the stage. Stop projecting.
Jasmin Ozolins Yes, I’m a paranoid schizophrenic just projecting my disorder on dead rock stars. That’s what I do.
Well, his girlfriend said he did LSD for 7 days straight. After that, people who know him said he came back and was never the same. He went from being charming and lively to having this "is anybody home?" demeanor.
Syd Barrett was just too Rock and Roll for Rock and Roll
Aww that was all so adorably cute!!! ... Although we can see what Roger later meant with "Now there's a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky" ... :~(
🍎 🍊 Syd 🎶🎶
The way Dick Clark looked at Roger wishing them good luck you could tell he was basically telling Roger good luck with the songwriter spaced out on acid
1:54 Omg, this makes me feel so sad, I mean, he was so lost
Aw, man, these kids in the audience... "But... but... it doesn't have a nice beat, and it's not easy to dance to!"
Don't think Syd knew where he was, he didn't even knew which way he was facing. Totally lost, such a shame, he was a great man.
nottmfunguy He was actually pretty normal in this clip. He didn’t show visible signs until near the end of his career with the floyd
I think you are seeing what you want to see. Clarke walked in between Waters and Syd... which way was he supposed to face? Then he moved back and talked to Wright.... really weird way to do an interview. He looked fine in my opinion.
Robert C. Christian I think Dick Clark handled the interview beautifully! I like the way the interview is paced. Clark was a visionary who was so hip to up and coming groups that he invited The Pink Floyd to appear on his show.
I recommend a movie Dick Clark helped produce called "Psych Out" in 1968.
The movie highlights the Haight Ashbury scene.
The movie features Jack Nicholson, who plays the role of "Stoney", fronting his band called "Mumblin' Jim"! Nicholson does a great job portraying a Rock musician!
Before this time, Syd was thousand miles away for great, From this time, Syd was thousand miles away lost... That was the start of the end...
I'm beginning to think the never-ending narrative that Syd was "crazy" is somewhat over exaggerated.
You'd be correct
Yeah he definitely had some sort of mental health issue but it was exaggerated, as an excuse to throw him out of the band.
I mean, he had some mental differences from the rest of the world, let's put it this way, which for what I know is debatable if it had been just an abuse of LSD, an underlying problem like schizophrenia or only him being eccentric to the point of the other band members not wanting him around. What's bullshit is people commenting here about this clip showing any signs of any of that. This clip shows absolutely NOTHING out of the ordinary. If you can see Syd being "crazy" here, then I guess Roger was also pretty crazy and the rest of the band as well. There's nothing in his eyes, goddamn it, except eyeliner and maybe being pissed for having to lip-sync. Roger's eyes look more dead to me than Syd's in 1:37, so I guess you only see what you want to see.
@@krautgazer Roger looks like he doesn't want to be there throughout the whole damn song.
Just before I watched this video, I saw an interview a few months before this. His look is much more different, you can see that there's a change in character.
Roger Waters and Nick Mason were best mates! There is a deep Affinity about both men! At 3:50, Waters looks over at Mason and they both smile at each other after Waters answers Dick Clark's question about American food! Roger could be quite charming!
I really like this interview!
I'm so grateful that it wasn't wiped!
The best Pink Floyd ever, after they passed from art to money 💰. Thanks Syd

BEFORE
RIP Richard Wright. An absolute legend. 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond...' is the finest LP
ever made, closely followed by 'The Wall'. While Syd Barrett was childishly playing with
his gnomes in fantasy land, Pink Floyd were crafting Mona Lisa's such as 'Wish You Were Here'.
Syd was totally gone at this point. You could see it in his eyes. All the band members noticed.
Very tragic.
"Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky."..... Shine On You Crazy Diamond
watching Syd just stare and pant at Dick Clark at 4:30 onward is really something.
Dick: "Did you write the songs, Syd."
Syd, like he's late for a bus: "yeahthatsright"
There is one point where Roger is clearly looking over at Syd with a look in his eyes that says “wtf dude?”. Then there is the twitch that Syd does when giving that hollow stare like he just saw a demon in the audience for a second. But then there is Nick Mason who seems to be having a blast half-assing his part comically. You can tell that they all think doing panto is lame but Nick and Rick are the only ones having fun with it. Which seems to fit their personalities. Roger, is well, Roger. That could be his I’m-having-fun-face, no one knows. Then there’s Syd. Or more accurately there is Syd’s body and the one small part of his brain still in control of body function that usually doesn’t control body function.

also pink floyd **cheeseburgers**
R.I.P. Syd Barrett (1946-2006)
R.I.P. Richard Wright (1943-2008)
Pure avantgarde pop
Pink Floyd and cheeseburgers now that’s iconic
when u think about it, if Gilmour never joined Pink Floyd, they would probably be stuck in the mud for years, David Gilmour saved the day.
True and Dave loved SID...
I think If Syd remained sane and in the band Floyd would’ve surpassed the Beatles
AmarilloMusicAB don't think so, probably will end up like gretaful dead or Jethro Tull.
Don Vito Corleone Unlikely. It took pink Floyd years to get their ways back after losing Syd. He’s in the ranks with Harrison and comparable in many ways
no Syd, no Pink Floyd
3:55 turn auto generated captions on and it reads “it sucked quite well” 😂
The one time Rick got any camera time!!!
Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
See you
Thought you might like to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
Feeding ducks in the afternoon tide (quack quack)
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
100% Syd Lyrics and style, his style was very unique,
This is great!!
RIP Syd you shone too bright for this world to think of what could have been. So sad to see his so far gone already just empty eyes.
Syd Barrett was a really brilliant and creative composer and songwriter! Not to mention, influential!
This video breaks my heart. Syd looks so lost and unhappy. Poor guy.
This is a special moment... Look at the instruments, they're unplugged. Also, no mics for voice amplification...
I think the 4 members were pissed off playing this song in playback.
Syd didn't sing the last words of the song, his voice is playing, but his lips don't move.
So, yes, it also breaks my heart that Pink Floyd were sorta obliged to do this playback cheap TV show... :(
I love how Syd is staring at Dick Clark and once he leaves keeps staring in the direction of where he was standing.
He turns eventually
To me it just looks like he’s dumbfounded by the interviewer’s mundane and dismissive questions.
