omg 3:48 venetta fields nails the essence of Pink Floyd. She has more insight and clarity than any professional journalist for rolling stone or whatever. thanks john! thanks venetta!
Thank goodness for this wonderful woman. I appreciate her contribution to the music I've loved for decades, and her intelligent interview about it now. She's great.
Venetta Fields emigrated to Australia in 1982, and lives in Victoria Australia. She has dual citizenship. She is in her early 80s now. What a beautiful woman with an absolutely amazing voice.
Love how Venetta picked up the word "lorries" for trucks. And "pals and buddies" with David Gilmour - both beautiful personalities. Like attracts like.
What a wonderful and extremely insightful interview from such a classy and talented lady. She has contributed to so many artists. Thank you for conducting and posting this discussion.
the whole extraordinary phenomenon that was Pink Floyd will never happen again and cannot be repeated, Syd and the guys will forever hold that "magical thing" in space and time. some of us shared experiences when we were younger and in a sense we were similar characters to Syd, Roger. Dave and so on, in our own little pocket of the space and time we occupied

Venetta Fields is an honorary Aussie, and she's sang on a lot of classic records here down under as well. Great to hear her perspective on the Floyd and these recording sessions.

John, was this a early Christmas gift for me?? If it is, "It's exactly what I always wanted"!!!!! You always take care of me, my present is on the way, hopefully, maybe some day, I can interview you about YOUR career....that would be interesting....Happy Holiday's my good friend, and thanks for all you do for us ....😎
What a switched on and talented lady and smart enough to move to Australia where we have so far avoided the far left awoke nd far right maga madness of the usa. Thanks for all tbe great music Venetta
@ without debating the finer points of the lockdowns, there is a so much more to Australia than that. But I am guessing you are either a political bot or not interested in open minded listening…
Nice to hear from the experience of someone who worked with the band but just outside of it. It was a pleasure to hear Venetta Fields talk about her perceptions of the band and their music as an outsider coming in. I do wonder what she would have made of Syd’s suggestion before his departure that the band employ a saxophonist and female backing singers. And there they were when Syd showed up!
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES Oh, no question. I think 'Piper' is a remarkably creative album; there's such a variety of styles and textures throughout. (Rick was really the number two guy in the band then, too; it's nice to imagine how that collaboration would've developed...) I'm a great admirer of Syd's work; I bought the box set that was put out in the early '00s when I was at uni. Wonderfully weird, often moving stuff that NO ONE else had an appreciation for.
I saw Floyd with a sax player and gals but I don't if it were those from the album. Syd, schizophrenia is hell and drug use doesn't help it. She is right about the dark. I was a big Floyd fan in their early career but then it just became too dark and depressing for me. I still listen do DSOTM and the earlier albums. Daves guitar playing still deserves praise on everything he has done with them. I saw them once in Carnegie Hall and twice outside in 73 and 75.
Hi there! Am I right in thinking that you interviewed someone who made a fictional film that was vaguely based on Syd? I remember seeing it but can’t seem to find the interview, Thanks a lot!
Hmmm ... a very short fictional film was made by the Syd Barrett expert fan Bernard White in the late 90's .. I did meet him but never interviewed him. If you dig into google you might find the film
His sister has said it wouldnt surprise her that syds manner and the way he acted were a joke on the band that day, they treated him so badly by just not picking him up one day so maybe he played i joke.i dont know maybe only syd knows the truth.... RIP
I had a great music teacher in New York public school in 7th Grade he was older I'd guess 50s. He really was intrigued with the synthesizer and using sounds like nature, or even traffic, and machinery and recording them and playing them back musically if you will and the editing of tape. He was hard to get for me at the time this was probably 1975 or 76 he was at least in his 50s and I thought it incredibly odd he wasn't more a traditional music teacher and boring, he was so enthusiastic about sharing the want to have musical ability through imagination and experimentation with sound. He was so ahead of his time that I am just catching up and I am 63 years old. I wish it clicked back then, I only now realize what a great teacher and guy he was.

What a nice lady. Could listen to her all day….
Thank you!!!!
Lovely descriptives. She has old school musical intelligence. Not common. Classy lady. Terrific voice
Hearing this Legend describe other Legends is heartwarming. Nice to hear what a friendly person David Gilmour was.
only a musician like Venetta can use words to describe music like this
omg 3:48 venetta fields nails the essence of Pink Floyd. She has more insight and clarity than any professional journalist for rolling stone or whatever. thanks john! thanks venetta!

What a lovely, lovely lady.
She perfectly described the band, great interview
A wonderful woman which has an insight that I never heard before about the band, one that Venetta hadn't heard of before. Ty for the video.
I could listen to her talk all day!
What a nice lady. You will live on forever in the music of Pink Floyd.
Great to hear the perspective of a seasoned musician who had never heard their music. Miss Fields has good insights.

I agree!
Lovely interview! Thank you for digging this up! :)
My pleasure!
Venetta Fields is an honorary Aussie, and she's sang on a lot of classic records here down under as well. Great to hear her perspective on the Floyd and these recording sessions.
Yes , I met her way back in 1990 when we were touring with John Farnham. A cool and lovely lady.
Such an important part of my life. I could not live without certain music. I am sure. Thank you for this magnificent video with this superb lady.
Very interesting insight. Lovely lady.
Venetta did a fabulous job
Love this!
this is really cool to hear her perspective on the inner workings of the group
Great interview, thanks for posting !
Thanks Venetta! Love you.

She could talk for 10 hours and I'd never get tired of listening.
THANK YOU YOU MADE HIGH SCHOOL TOLERABLE!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Ain’t that a truth
Loved hearing her thoughts!
Great talented lady she did a lot of work with some legendary Australian artists (Cold Chisel, John Farnham etc.) from the 1980's onwards as well.
That’s true as.
If she was in the backup singers I always knew that this shit is going to gold.
Full respect
Aww love her!! She so cool
This is so cool.
Brilliant insights. What a lovely, articulate person.

Definitely not the Australia i’ve been hearing about, with one of if not the strictest lockdowns in the world during covid
@ without debating the finer points of the lockdowns, there is a so much more to Australia than that. But I am guessing you are either a political bot or not interested in open minded listening…
Danke!
You’re so welcome!! Thank you 🙏
First saw Venetta Fields sing backing for John Farnham in the late 80s. Had no idea she worked with Pink Floyd. What a great story.
Beautiful Soul... also I wonder if Syd was somehow tipped off that his old band would be recording that day.
He may indeed have been tipped off by his manager ..
Nice to hear some Syd Barrett stories. Syd's birthday is in a couple of weeks, Jan. 6th. He would have been 79 years old.
Great interview.
Nice to hear from the experience of someone who worked with the band but just outside of it. It was a pleasure to hear Venetta Fields talk about her perceptions of the band and their music as an outsider coming in.
I do wonder what she would have made of Syd’s suggestion before his departure that the band employ a saxophonist and female backing singers. And there they were when Syd showed up!
Syd was far more experimental in 67 than the other band members
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES Oh, no question. I think 'Piper' is a remarkably creative album; there's such a variety of styles and textures throughout. (Rick was really the number two guy in the band then, too; it's nice to imagine how that collaboration would've developed...)
I'm a great admirer of Syd's work; I bought the box set that was put out in the early '00s when I was at uni. Wonderfully weird, often moving stuff that NO ONE else had an appreciation for.
Lady has aged very well!❤
❤
I saw Floyd with a sax player and gals but I don't if it were those from the album. Syd, schizophrenia is hell and drug use doesn't help it. She is right about the dark. I was a big Floyd fan in their early career but then it just became too dark and depressing for me. I still listen do DSOTM and the earlier albums. Daves guitar playing still deserves praise on everything he has done with them. I saw them once in Carnegie Hall and twice outside in 73 and 75.
Doesn't play an instrument but her voice, but thats a musician!
Koolz.
You can tell she spent a lot of time with English people, saying lorry instead of truck!
👍

@ that’s the one thanks a lot! It must have been someone else I watched interview him!
I didn't know them from a bar of soap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
