Man I wish all the early stuff would come out from that session. It's a shame their early period wasn't covered by an LP or a few singles in 1965-66. Syd was rock and roll.
Yes, Roger Waters is and was a HUGE egomaniac but to say he should have been kicked out of Floyd early on is a ridiculous statement. Check out some of the writing credits and you'll get why.
John Lennon, you are the coolest person who ever walked the planet. You changed my life, listening to the white album the frist time was unbeliveable, mindblowing. Give Peace A Chance. Thanks for the wonderful, music, poems, pantings, and fot changing my life.
@3ombieautopilot They didn't really "kick" Syd out, he just kind of faded into the mist. I have a Guitar World mag with an interview with David Gilmour. I think one of Syd's problems was way too much LSD, and he started down the road to insanity when his mind started to go, which is really sad. But without Roger they wouldn't have had those high pitch vocals along with Gilmour's that made the Pink Floyd sound. Also there wouldn't have been The Wall album, or The Final Cut......
@Stratmandoin "Insanity" is a lable placed upon genius by socioty (Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Aldous Huxley, Nicola Tesla...) "Sanity" is all a matter of perception. If I know that I am insane, then I am saner than anyone who percieves themselves to be perfectly sane, because everyone is insane, you see? And I know, because I'm fuckin nuts! Large doses of LSD, mescaline, psilocyben, cocaine, methamphetamine? I think maybe it was Mandrake that fucked Syd up, but that's just a guess
@CrazyBear65 I guess nobody knows what caused syd to loose it, but anyway he started to fade away and the band could no longer work with him. He walked into the studio when they were recording The Wall and nobody could figure out who he was because he had gained weight and shaved his head and eyebrows then roger recognised him and started crying.Syd was escorted out and that was the last time they saw him. Reguardless of what caused it, it's very sad, and such a waste of a mind.
my favourite Pink Floyd album has always been Saucerful of Secrets, Jugband Blues is a beautifully chilling way to end the album. RIP Syd Barrett and Rick Wright
Back when they were known as "THE" Pink Floyd! Yes, kids--there was once a time when a band wasn't a band unless they had the article "THE" in front of their name: "THE" Jefferson Airplane, "THE" Blue Cheer, "THE" Grateful Dead, "THE" Grand Funk Railroad. In a way, it sounds cooler that way!
i love him so much,and what piss me off is he never waswas never officially diagnosed with any form of mental illness ,just some of people believe in it,Syd was fragile,but amazingly sweet person,and all what happened was just mental breakdown ,all that rumors about he was bipolar,etc,etc,are nonsenses
How can anyone say post-Barrett Floyd is "boring" and "predictable"??? Hate to break it to the Barrett-era only fans, but it was after him that the others' innovations and ideas came to the forefront that didn't before. Sure, Piper is a great album, but Meddle, Obscured, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, even the Gilmour-era stuff among other things was musically supreme, certainly not "boredom". By the way, Dave happened to help Syd with guitar before Floyd. Things have a funny way of turning out.
@gilmourguitar123 i know man, people just always compare both eras of pink floyd, they are a bit different and its not like they are trying to exactly copy syd barrets pink floyd. Pink floyd are just great in general, I love syd barrett yet I still love the older pink floyd.
@pancaikmix45 That's an understatement. I swear, if Syd was here now, he could space out on the North-Pole, and then... You know what would happen? I'd tell you what'd happen: all the gay-ass crunkcore beliebers all the way down to Antarctica would implode into split atoms upon being hit by Syd Barrett's mega super awesome ultrapsychedelia shock wave. Yes. Syd Barrett is powerful. Modern mainstream pop music won't stand a chance. They'd be gone.
I'm what I like to call a middle stage PF fan. Grew up in the 70's. 3 stages of fan loyalty seem to go: Barrett, Waters, Gilmour. I like a lot of the early Syd Barrett stuff, got some of his solo works and of course early Floyd. But to you 1st stage guys (60's), he has been greatly over rated. Those that burn out quick always are (Like N. Young said "better to burn out than faid away"). I doubt he could of ever took them to the height they finally reached. This is s great song though.
London/Carnaby Street and England in general HAD IT GOING ON.... So WHY, WHY, WHY, were everyone so instant in jumping on that stale San Francisco / hippie bandwagon??
I CANNOT fathom what possible reasoning there could have been for that...
The people from that scene who ROCKED BALLS, but then decided to trade in that excruciatingly COOL look and sound for Rip Van Winkle beards and corny, FM-radio-friendly muzak, should be ashamed of themselves.
You may be right, camo337: The Syd Barrett era of Pink Floyd was not its most creative era, and that's the end of where I agree with you. Syd Barrett was poised to be one of the greatest pop musicians that ever was....but never was. His chances were snuffed out by his own self-inflicting habits; the Barrett era ended leaving us begging for more, from Syd and from the way Pink Floyd sounded under his management, regardless of its quality. It was not the best, but it was fresh, so...Shine On!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i hate when people say this is some of the best pink floyd stuff here and that syd is a genius and the best pink floyd member. none of those i find true...
@MegaSpalman Really, you think after Syd it was only boredom. I feel sorry for you. If i had to pick a "best member" which is silly, but i'd pick Roger Waters.
@gwugluud Woah, this is worse than i thought. Roger Waters wrote all the lyrics for the album and over 50% of the music too. So you dont like Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, Time, Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Any Color You Like, Eclipse, or Brain Damage? That sucks man....
@337camo Oh yes man, this is an opinion....but there is a problem....when Syd was the leader of Pink Floyd, Waters was the second....do you know why? Because Waters is only a silly bass player while Syd was a genius....
@MegaSpalman That is definately an opinion alright. I have a feeling you're an idiot who think Syd is cool for losing his mind on acid, that isnt cool. Yea, Syd created the psychadelic feel in Pink Floyd but the rest of the members transformed it and made it better. The guys from Pink Floyd were even helping Syd create his 2 solo albums, from writing and playing to producing. Plus, Syd's solo albums cant even be compared with albums that Waters wrote or was apart of.
@337camo I'm sorry man, but I'm not absolutely agree with you.......the Pink Floyd are started and finished with Syd Barrett.......after that is another group, dependent on business dealings with the EMI.......with the exception of Ummagumma album, that i like for a reason.....when i listen it, i feel the Barrett's influence....
@337camo Oh yes man, is true.......great and insuperable music.......also would be tedious to have always the same opinions.... and the debate opens the mind....
@337camo Sure.....i repeat: If you listen "Ummagumma", you realize the importance of Barrett's period for the growth of the group......the same for "Atom Heart Mother"......after i don't like particularly the sequents albums....I think that are too commercial except maybe "Animals"....the song "Wish You Were Here" was
@337camo It's obvious that my consideration about Waters was a provocation....but you have to admit that with "The Dark Side Of the Moon" the boredom is guaranteed........a terrible album.....
Some people are just too big for this dimension and world.Did you know Nikola Tesla had older brother who was way more genious than him.But he was just too out of this world and spent his very short life in reclusion.
Syd's mind was also too big for this world so it overdriven him into psychosis.He laid ground for something this world could hold,pink floyd.He remained invisible member and constant inspiration.
but you just can't say :''after Syd nothing, only boredom''
@omentummajus ok, but after Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd did become a bit boring. Yes, they made good albums, they sold millions, were extremely popular in the seventies, but personally I think that 'Piper at the gates of dawn' remains their best album, after all, as innovative and fully representative of an era.
@MegaSpalman your not a fan of the floyd. Only true fans look past whos better gilmour or barrett. But I draw the line at the final cut. Thats not floyd
@MegaSpalman absolutely!! he was the happy kid! for which so many british and american musicians were influenced. by the way lucy was my woman for 12 years..
@HighDefDownLow It's on plenty of bootlegs of early Floyd stuff (but not on 'Early Flights' which I suspect is the bootleg you have).It's from a 2-sided acetate (I'm A King Bee-also covered by the Stones is the song on the other side and this you probably do have) and both tracks have been booted since the mid 90's or thereabouts.
I love this song. I even thought about forming a pub band just to take this song to more ears. I'd include Don't Fall Down by the Elevators and a rare little track by 90s band the Thanes, called Buzz Buzz Yeah Yeah. Anyone round Manchester want to get this going? What else could we play?
@potricknipperdimple yes, but in the time of this song they were known as The Pink Floyd Sound. Later they changed their name first to The Pink Floyd and finally to Pink Floyd
I think before The Pink Floyd Sound their names were The Megadeads, The Tea Set, Sigma 6, The Screaming Abdabs, and The Abdabs or something like that
@limpidgreen07 Sorry, to disagree with you about the description, but for me it sounds pro, for a band with less than one year at the time, that's really outstanding.
It is fascinating to speculate how Pink Floyd would have gone if Bob Close had stayed with the band a bit longer. He was a more jazz orientated guitarist whilst Syd was more rock orientated and more experimental. Great track from the group's early years!
One of 4 songs recorded at their first session along with "Remember Me" and "Butterfly"--both Barrett compositions and "(Im A) King Bee" by Slim Harpo. At the same Decca studio where the Beatles failed their first audition. Thanks for posting this gem!!
Sweet ! Huge pink floyd fan. Never heard Klose play until now. He jams ! Sounds like early rock. Great songwriting , and Syd's voice is tops ! Thanks a million !
@Darbyjack It's more likely that Lucy is a reference to Syd's girlfriend Libby, considering they had recently broken up around the time this song was recorded. The "Lucy" LSD connection was nearly 2 years away with the release of the Beatles, "Sgt. Pepper" in 1967......and Lennon adamantly insisted throughout the years that his song title was simply a reference to a picture drawn by his son Julian.
syd is the pink floyd I like..dont care much about the "prog" pink floyd..to each their own of course.

Yes, they made good albums, they sold millions, were extremely popular in the seventies, but personally I think that 'Piper at the gates of dawn' remains their best album, after all, as innovative and fully representative of an era.

@chester57ify Agree. Boring. Good but predictable. The first time you listen to Syd's song you never quite know which way they are going to go.

@HighDefDownLow It's on plenty of bootlegs of early Floyd stuff (but not on 'Early Flights' which I suspect is the bootleg you have).It's from a 2-sided acetate (I'm A King Bee-also covered by the Stones is the song on the other side and this you probably do have) and both tracks have been booted since the mid 90's or thereabouts.

I love this song. I even thought about forming a pub band just to take this song to more ears. I'd include Don't Fall Down by the Elevators and a rare little track by 90s band the Thanes, called Buzz Buzz Yeah Yeah. Anyone round Manchester want to get this going? What else could we play?

Stupid question is this still classed as Pink Floyd even though Bob Close is in the line up?
potricknipperdimple 11 months ago
@potricknipperdimple yes, but in the time of this song they were known as The Pink Floyd Sound. Later they changed their name first to The Pink Floyd and finally to Pink Floyd
I think before The Pink Floyd Sound their names were The Megadeads, The Tea Set, Sigma 6, The Screaming Abdabs, and The Abdabs or something like that

@SenorPabloHerrera Sure. They did plenty of R&B songs before going psychedelic, like in fact many other bands. The Syn, for instance...

It is fascinating to speculate how Pink Floyd would have gone if Bob Close had stayed with the band a bit longer. He was a more jazz orientated guitarist whilst Syd was more rock orientated and more experimental. Great track from the group's early years!

One of 4 songs recorded at their first session along with "Remember Me" and "Butterfly"--both Barrett compositions and "(Im A) King Bee" by Slim Harpo. At the same Decca studio where the Beatles failed their first audition. Thanks for posting this gem!!

Is Lucy a reference to LSD here?
Darbyjack 1 year ago
@Darbyjack It's more likely that Lucy is a reference to Syd's girlfriend Libby, considering they had recently broken up around the time this song was recorded. The "Lucy" LSD connection was nearly 2 years away with the release of the Beatles, "Sgt. Pepper" in 1967......and Lennon adamantly insisted throughout the years that his song title was simply a reference to a picture drawn by his son Julian.
limpidgreen07 1 year ago 13
@limpidgreen07 technically, ♥Syd♥ made "Lucy" up, as a fictional character for this song. It's an example of "Megga Stardome" in a way
