Pink Floyd with David Gilmour on French TV (Flaming)

[gabriba]

David is perfect!

[icon057]

wow...this is right after floyd had enough of barrett's inability to function at live shows...and was replaced by his good friend dave...must have been a tough time for all....

[sucramnormark]

How is he shy in this video?

[suninthefall]

hey folks! who think that Pink Floyd is the grate bend ever push here on the right buton....

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

youre welcome!! first person. :P

[igankyoumaybe]

@suninthefall rIGHT IS RED

[hogwarts09]

what a voice david has wow

[queenredspecial]

I think Dave sounds really good, although he is definitely a GUEST. Fantastic job though, anyway... I enjoy this performance.

Spaceplayer, what is 'twee?'

[spaceplayer]

Dave doesn't have the "twee" voice that Syd did, and while this doesn't sound bad (I love Dave's voice), you can certainly hear the transitional stage. Twee was better done by Syd, Dave's a better rocker. The combination on this version, though, is kinda interesting...

[robertscoles]

This is a classic Barrett piece of ingenious, albeit with Gilmour on vocals who, incidentally doesn't half sound like Barrett! I totally agree with delpiero37 however-if you think it's Barrett on vocals then you really should research this band a little more.

[Klyons92]

Way better with Gilmour!!

[droogdude]

Looks and sounds an awful lot like Syd.

[doronmanor]

its definitely Gilmour

[kkpaddle]

It is clearly Gilmour but I have to say he does sound a lot like Barrett on this song. It must have been shortly after Barrett was dropped from the band.

Good stuff!

[reddevil429]

It is clearly Mr. Gilmour. I have a dvd featuring some footgage from this show. Syd had his hair permed. So get your shit straight tossers before you go out trying to ruin my belief in santa claus.

[vicjenjos3]

david just makes everything

sound better...dont ya think?

[bingbingbingbing]

If that's Syd Barrett, then I must be Santa Claus ;p

[ubuntu704feistyfawn]

merry christmas then

[delpiero37]

Please, can we have no more posts saying this is Syd Barrett singing, it is clearly David Gilmour and I am staggered by the ignorance of some supposed Pink Floyd fans.

[phader075]

sorry maybe a late reaction, but this is not david gilmour but syd barret.

[Picaresque19]

No it's not. It's David Gilmour singing on one of the songs from Syd Barrett's era.

[PTS74]

Christ, they got so much better after this, hated all that whimsical

psychedelic rubbish.

[valleyofdeath]

flaming

[nickveekens]

Flaming

[cloepp]

You can tell instantly it is Dave just by his nose.

[Floyd46]

what's the song 's name?

[robrampy]

for people who thinks this is syd in this video.i have some good advise for you .all i can say its .a few things will be helpful for you.its go to an occulist maybe he will give you some good optical lens so you can be able to look at mars closer.and if you can also get your ears unclogged from all dust and shit.this is david gilmour at sight and voice

[Zigfu]

THIS IS DAVE!

[s810ist]

Uh, this is Syd Barrett singing.

[OldSteamer]

thought the same for 1 minute, but look closer it isnt sid.

[cloepp]

But that is the brilliance of Syd Barrett. Whehter he wrote about Arnold Layne or a float in the sky, he did sound painting. You can closer you eyes he paints images for you.

Remember, what is Yellow Submarine about?

[crackmunch]

these lyrics are kinda gay

i think Syd was Arnold Layne ;-?

[Sorrki]

David once said in an interview that he actually didn't like the early syd barrett era songs, it was too chilidish for him and he couldn't pull off what syd did on guitar in Interstellar Overdrive for example. Not technically but you know... it was Syd's kinda unique style that he didn't want to copy.

[perksy10001]

that looks like syd barret are you sure it's dave gilmour

[mindwork123]

its dave not syd

[MarchingSax2010]

Yeah. Syd had so much more emotion in his voice while singing this song. I'm not knocking Gilmour though, I think he sings like an angel on Comfortably Numb

[chuckthemagicnorris]

Great footage! WOW, how did you get this???

[FlavioGirl]

why did they shoot from behind the band? it would've been better to do it from the front.
