[TheKevtrevable]

its a really beautiful intro

[MrBubblegumballs]

Mr. Toad played this for me on his 5 grand car radio.

[MrPhotodoc]

Your basic tale of youth lost. Should be an inspiration to all young people today.

[lupon18]

@MrPhotodoc right, lost to schizophrenia

[MrBubblegumballs]

Willows, who knows,,,ever read BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS,.?

[sanclementekid]

Syd might be Gawd.

THE TRUE PROJECT OF THE PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!

[vampyros1]

Syd's unkempt hair, thrashing of guitar, dissonant chord-work and iconoclastic demeanor really make him the absolute Father of the SECOND punk movement as would actually occur some 9 or 10 yrs. later in the seventies. And all that before addressing his monumental songwriting (both lyrics and music), and vocals. Truly, a genius way ahead of his time.

[myway43]

@vampyros1 Have you heard the Flaming Lips recent stuff? There is a heavy Syd influence going on. It is fantastic!

[vampyros1]

@myway43 I'm familiar with their earlier stuff, but I've kind of lost track of them. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll check some of their recent stuff.

[posthumanhero]

oh boy......

[brainsic2]

The Mick Rock pictures are fantastic! x

[Scoob505]

what spng is this?

[TORTUGADEAGUADULCE]

EL GENIO BARRETT DE NUEVO A LOS ESTUDIOS ULTIMA SESION DE GRABACIONES JAMAS!!!

ESTA INCREIBLE EL INSTRUMEENTAL

[Noodles37UK]

Produce this better, and this would make a great intro. Can see where he's coming from, and the mess of his head frustrates his intentions. Nice distortions and delays : )

[Noodles37UK]

His appearance Abbey Road studios 1975 is SHOCKING. Wikipedia it.

[VegaVelecka]

nice fragment

[thedarkglobe]

No! He is not God...but it ´s true HE IS WALKING TO GOD, HIS SOUL IS FLYING TILL REACH THE DIVINE LORD

[roleckz]

grande Syd!

[888anotherusername9]

How do we know this is authentic?

[nidgybaby]

Would love to know what that old american car is..does anyone know..

[anonwebserfer]

the shots by the car are during the mad cap laughs album 1968/69 and the ones outside "in the garden" ARE FROM 1972.

[nobletucky]

Wow, I never heard this song before, does it have a title and where did you get it?? Thanks for posting!

[dgsyd1]

The songs official title is "Boogie #2"

[GeminiOsirisDream]

These photos were taken 1970-1971.

In 1974, Syd was rapidly gaining

weight . And, also, he was in seclusion

in his London apartment by then.

[bartonim]

@GeminiOsirisDream If you have yet to see the BBC documentary about Syd, you must! It's quite moving, really, but extremely interesting! 5 parts here on YT!

[labeviamo]

@GeminiOsirisDream

I had the same idea.. and he was going to "appear" during the recording of wish you were here, fat and bold.. but I did not know regarding these bits of songs. Do they appear in a record or something ? These bits are interesting

[JRG1120]

@GeminiOsirisDream he had also shaved his head at that time too.

[bobdy9988]

@GeminiOsirisDream Thank you man. I knew it wasn't 74 either. Because in 1975 he showed up at Wish You Were Here sessions massively overweight. Hmm. Cheers for being correct.

[dgsyd1]

@GeminiOsirisDream According to the people who were at the 1974 sessions. Syd hadn't gained weight and still had fairly long hair at the sessions. Which made his change in appearance when he showed up at the Wish You Were Here sessions just 10 months later, all the more shocking.

[hasekdom]

@GeminiOsirisDream True



[cnytgvn]

your welcome man

[GregoryGraveyard]

@cnytgvn Have you ever read the "Wind in the Willows"???

[cnytgvn]

@GregoryGraveyard yeah great

[busternsady]

Syd started it all..Thanx man..

[bartonim]

@ninyae It would have been cool if they could have gelled as a 5-piece, with a sane Syd. Just sad about him, really. Like Nick Drake, music's loss, but what little they gave us is still priceless and beautiful.

[crazylevipinball]

@ninyae Are you insane?

Syd could no longer play. This isn't music, it's just noise. You couldn't have constructed a Pink Floyd album or even a song out of this stuff.

Syd was done and in the end happier without it.

[BeholdAndSee93]

@crazylevipinball This isn't supposed to be a finished piece of music. This is just jamming in the studio which many artists do to get ideas for songs.

[hywelrob]

@ninyae Syd any day of the week no need for riicjard whiley or vordeman

[InternetToughGuyXL]

Why couldn't they have just leave  hin do his thing, whatever this is and just release it? They got him in the studio but then complained the music was nonsense. Thus the last nail was put in Syd's sense of failure.

[jacksterner]

Dude, you're right--he was sabotaged. A genius like Syd would wield too much power. All he had to do to accomplish this was to make music, write poetry or, in your words, do his own thing.

[bartonim]

@InternetToughGuyXL EMI know now they made a mistake, surely. Syd was just too brilliant. Remember, the one good move the label made apart from signing the Beatles was signing Floyd. With Syd, they screwed up--just as they would with the Sex Pistols (although the irony is Virgin is now an EMI imprint!).

[Ursanian]

@InternetToughGuyXL instead they rushed to the studio like virtually Nazguls wielding maces and drove Malcolm Jones out. LOLOLOL had it not been, well, so strange:

"It is still a mystery why Jones abandoned production responsibilities, at the end of May, so soon after having assumed them. Jones' recollections of the sessions are that he and Barrett got on well together and had in fact completed half of the album before the new producers took over. (Futura Publications, 1976)."

[cnytgvn]

yeah thanks :)
