Love this. I think Syd was trying to create his own brand of English folk/blues. He wanted to distance himself from the bubblegum popadelic machine hence his antics with PF. He wasnt crazy but eccentric. What ruined him was the fact he was too self conscious and he couldnt take the criticism nor could he deal with stardom. To some this sounds like shit but I love everything he has done. True genius in my opinion.
If the sound quality was bettrt the world would melt
Nothing like having your sound system screwed with while your attempting a comeback.
This was recorded on a tape reel by a 15 years old teenager in the audience back in the day in the Olympia Hall in London, don't expect too much sound quality.
And of course, the audio engineer sucks.
Thanks for posting this. It's the first electric version I've heard of Terrapin.
It infuriated other musicians, but the fact that Syd never played a song the same way twice makes every one of his recordings special.
7.7.2006 RIP Syd
Tattered, Tragic ,Terrific..and terrible for what he became. A true intellectual, so far ahead of time..Genius, without having to weigh up 'this' and 'that';'Your death could not kill off our love for you; Notes can't spell out the score..Your memory shines, luminescent forever, Fade Away never.'Shine on,' Syd,Hope you're at blissful peace now. X
its fantastic that such a genious can just walk away from the spot light and carry on his life as he wanted in Gods Cambridge.He did what he wanted to and i wish i had the chance to meet him as i only lived round the corner from him and i had relations who knew him and family.You dont know what you have untill its gone!!!
This was the gig that was to be a Barrett 'come back', Syd wasn't ready or in a cohesive state to really perform and during the show was struggling with the poor sound and wasn't in to it, he realised he'd had enough about four songs into the show and just put down his guitar on the floor and walked off the stage without saying a word leaving the other band members, including Gilmour, in the lurch. I remember reading about the gig in "Melody Maker" and "Sounds" and just feeling so sorry for Syd Barrett, trying to imagine the frustration and pain he must have been going through at the time. It's interesting to hear these recordings retrospectively after all these years and it's clear it couldn't have been a happy period his life knowing now what turmoil he must have been in at the time... But I always wondered what it must have been like to have witnessed it, and what might have been if he had managed to overcome his problems. He was a shinning star and a brilliant song writer with a very English phrase to his lyrics.
Well, actually they were supposed to sound for about 20-30 minutes at that show, I don't think they had other songs planned.
I've never thought there was a recording of these concerts.
Thanks for posting them, I'm glad to hear them even with the poor mic-ing, it's better than nothing.
Syd was a hero
@VegaVelecka it's not a lie, he just left because of the poor mic-ing and there is no video of it. i've read about it.
This song is so badass with electric guitar. Best riff I've ever heard.
OMG! I LOVE SYD BARRETT!!!
imagine sitting at his feet with a good buzz on a nice june afternoon listening to this?!?!!! i'm not into other guys too much, but man was he attractive in every way.
this is great! thanks for post it! =)
iloveu syd
Dammm man im From Mexico i wish i could teleport to Cambridge and walk around where he walked man it is amazing that i am sending a comment to someone that had acquaintances with SYD
The outro ❤
Syd Barrett is just Ab-Fab! aka (absolutey fabulus)
Another tragic recording was Stockholm. Syd was superb and Floyd were tight but you can't here Syd's vocals!
this sounds like he was auditioning for iggy and stooges - while iggy sat on the side of the stage
Maybe true. yet it did not affect his music negatively in the least bit. and to this day we can still appreciate and feel the emotion that that man put forth in his music and the inspiration he gave others to take a different musical path. Pink Floyd.
YES!
@corleonex well thank that to very bad mic-ing. it was so bad that syd just smiled at the crowd and calmly left after playing 4 songs
He's obviously in a messed up state but it's his one and only live appearance if I recall it right...and that makes this video a MUST
He was actually diagnosed with a "personality disorder" when his family sent him to see a psychiatrist in the '80s. Makes some sense given Barrett showed few signs of disordered or delusional thinking common to schizophrenia. His main "symptoms" were more like depression than anything. Definitely mentally unwell and certainly "unusual" but probably not schizophrenic.
great, syd
i can see what you mean but they wrote those songs About syd on their own...you cant deny that
Excellent, thank you for posting !
Hans :o)
@JessToThaIzzo one of the best yt comments I've ever read JTT. Prost!
@JessToThaIzzo Hell yeah, right there with ya!
syd . the mastermind . nothing else to say !
Does anyone realize how hard Dave and Jerry had it here? Wonder if they rehearsed, or just went for it? Syd's playing here is great!
poor mixing :(
just imagine if it weren't XD
yet, this is still enjoyable
@jefduf I meant Syd SHOULD HAVE been safe at home & not touring. The band and management knew he was fragile for quite a while. But perhaps the heavy duty drug experimentation BY ALL CONCERNED masked and exacerbated Syd's coming collapse.
U ever see "24 Hr Party People"? The scene where the actor playing Ian Curtis is having a grand mal epileptic seizure on the floor & the actor playing bassist Peter Hook just steps across him to get a cigarette? Think that kinda thing happened to Syd?
THE BIG!!!!!!!!!!
@hennocksholinepurpur
was this show after the Corn Exchange preformance? is thi the show the journalists really slagged him over??? I love Syd, just as ragged as this is. gotta Love Syd
Sounds really interesting.
oh god! this electric version oozes sexiness. too bad the quality sux. imagine what floyd could've done with this raw beauty. listening to this in the dark, i can almost....like, climb into it and simply smile, trying to ignore the ache in my heart. is there anything like a good raw rock artist?
well, this kicks all forms of ass...
@zosorunes91 yes yes, indeed ... sounds great, i cant listen to syd voice though ..
epic
@FraterSoddi What do you mean by not being safe at home? Like to much groupies ,and sketchy people and to much drug's around?
It's my understanding the Syd was "dosed" too - it wasn't all voluntary on his part - his marathon use of LSD...
And bar the psychiatrist he saw in the '80s who diagnosed a "personality disorder" and refused to give him medication believing it wouldn't have had any effect (although he was supposedly briefly prescribed something for his anger problems). Personality Disorders can manifest in things that look like "madness" to the lay-person but they're quite different from something like schizophrenia which causes completely disordered thought and delusions.
besides the poor micing.. they say that well, he didn´t show an attitude of "caring much" about the singing.. maybe that´s also why the lyrics dont show very much... dunno...
Awesome! Maybe Barrett and Gilmour should've Stuck with it.
Cuántos Syd Barrett hacen falta hoy?
I'm a little confused at seeing Dave Gilmore played bass here. From reading about pink floyd, it sounds like the members didn't really have contact with Syd after 1968 save for rare occasions. Then I read something about syd almost being resentful of Dave Gilmore...something about syd watching a floyd concert and staring at Dave. But then I see Dave plays with Syd on a number of sessions. I wonder what was going on? This doesn't exactly line up with the story that the band didn't hear from syd after he left the floyd???????????
***** According to what Syd told me years later
David and Richard used to stop by the house
from time to time to check on him and see if
he needed anything. Syd also told me that
David and Richard were the ones who made damn
sure that Syd got his royalty cheques every month
without fail. Syd never lost contact with David
and Richard.
+Shirley Pena and how do you know that?

+Shirley Pena and how do you know that?
+Invisible Flame Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Rick Wright all had a hand in producing and recording his two solo albums, and Dave and Rick appear on his Peel Sessions BBC broadcast in 1970, so they were definitely still in touch. By 1975, it seems they did lose contact, since nobody recognized Syd when he showed up to Abbey Road during the Wish You Were Here sessions. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syd_Barrett#Wish_You_Were_Here_sessions
syd on cid
the effects aren't in pedal:)))
this song called __??? someone know about it at the end ?
It just sounds like he doesn't want to be there, like it's a burden.
Is this the recording just poorly miked, or did they actually sound like that to the audience. It couldn't have been this bad!
Why the hate?
do you mean that you knew syd??or you knew someone who knew syd?
you don't like the sound of a lot of things apparently. maybe you should keep your negativity and criticisms to yourself and let us enjoy ourselves and great music
Probably he just freaked out because he started to become way more famous than what he could have handled, and that being on LSD all the time must be one hell of a trip...sad sad
station
if you put a seashell to your ear you can hear syd. lol
yeah, this is a butcher of sound but, anyway, you can notice that Syd actually could play.
And very well!!!
bad mic-ing is the reason why syd politeley walked off the stage
BAD TRIP
Everybody was spiking everybody's acid. I read an interview with a girl he used to hang out with. The interviewer was talking about people spiking Syd's food and drink and she said that everyone was dosing everyone, I'm sure with all Syd's money he was buying plenty of the drug for everyone and dosed his share of people. At one point, I'll say June of '67 something really bad happened in his head but he couldn't stop the momentum of the train (Kevin Ayers "Stop this Train (Again doing it)")
When I was 14 years old, I play this kind of ... shit. Now I can't play better, but I can listen better.
Claude
Absolutely awful, as Gilmour said later "I don't know why we did it!"
No, I'm not. Its just hard to imagine Syd sounding this bad!
Tattered, tattered, tattered.
It's sad really. If Barrett would have stayed off the drugs (or at least the acid/LSD), he would have created some stellar music, possibly even better than the Dark Side of the Moon. R.I.P. Syd Barrett
syd was great but one cannot deny the shoddy giutar work on this recordind compared to the madcap album
@PapaverSomni Idiotic.
@basenjib123 You obviously know nothing about music. This is top notch playing, just terrible recording. If you want "perfection" go listen to Black Eyed Peas
Sorry to bust all the rock star legend shit, but Barrett was extremely mentally and emotionally ill towards the end of his career. The hallucinogens and other drugs probably didn't help much, but what was probably worse for him were the rigors of the road, bad food, not enough rest and not being safe at home.
i dont like the sound of your voice
Wtf is this. This is the sound of crap falling on a guitar, how can people think of this man as a genious.
