I know where Syd Barrett lives-Television Personalities

[hatfez]

Heard this song back in the early 1980's when I was tripping with a friend. It took me years to find it. Thanks for the post!

[utubegamiesai]

i care

[Lx477]

used to listen to this when i was about 7 :')

[gnowave]

so. did he actually kno where he lived? and did he go see him?

[xinjinbei]

@gnowave "The band were offered the support slot on Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's 1984 UK solo dates, but were promptly dropped after reading out former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett's home address."

O.o!

Check out Nikki Sudden doing a cover of If I Could Write Poetry at our channel taken from the 10 volume TVP tribute out on the Beautiful Music label - essential coolection for TVP fans - features submissions from many bands and musicians who were on Whaam Records, Dreamworld Label, Creation & Sarah to name a few. It also features some amazing versions of this song by The Shambles, Jo Bartlett, in addition to 2 versions by Nikki Sudden with Epic and The Yellow Melodies version coming soon.

I remember the first time I heard this on the radio, while driving in 1986, and how displeased I was at the fact that the Best of Television Personalities CD version is different! This is the one I've wanted, YouTube comes through again. yeah

[Scott1005hydroxy]

rip. Tribute all the time on his birthday in Buffalo, New York USA at the Mohawk. Keep his dreams alive and in the minds of ones.

[Vesters1]

[LilyOpmac]

hahah the end alvays makes me smile:)

[starstuff89]

any coincidence that this sounds strikingly like an acoustic version of "brain damage" from dark side of the moon?

[punkrockerRHCP80]

@starstuff89 huh....ive never thought of that....

[mbrellin]

Right, it sound very similar...in fact it could be a citation to the song as well 'Brain damage' is dedicated to Syd; the song, moreover, is dated '81.

[liliapealia]

i love this song. thanks for posting it.

[2braindamage]

nice song..thanks for posting

[nickhirst999]

This is the band who David Gilmour had as support for his 1984 About Face tour and who read out Barrett's actual address on stage. Gilmour sacked them. A good choice, as Barrett wanted to be left alone and quite what these idiots thought they were going to achieve is anyone's guess

[nickhirst999]
