  • Miss you, Syd :_

  • I seriously doubt that Roger Waters never tried LSD. Give me a brake...

  • Happy Birthday Syd!

  • Don't think so. Syd found "IT". You may only find his way of raised consciousness in this way. Pot won't get you there, most likely, but it might do you well to write down all the lyrics of Shine on you crazy diamond and find your every definition to make certain of your views. Who knows what I am referring to as "IT"? My own definition of what I learned in this way.

  • SYD yes clever!he was a trippy guy wasn't he?I think drugs may have sent him crazy...I think he could have been influential in P F earlier (formative) 'Granchester Meadows' days-didnt he live in Cambridge??It was when R W said they decided to leave him behind and not pick him up in the van (for the Gig) cos he had been an embarrassment!Careful with that axe Eugene

  • Ahhh! Saw this clip in the Live in Pompeii documentary! So great!

  • who cares about drugs the floyd are world class with or without drugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! toke on

  • I laugh at mainly stoner who say the Floyd were "BIG STONERS" Well Roger Waters never tried L.S.D., either has Nick Mason. Richard Wright didn't like the effects, and David Gilmour "tried it a couple of times but got bored with it real quick". They did smoke marajuana up until the mid 1970's, but NEVER before a gig. Rick did once before a Paris gig, "just a puff, it made me paranoid. I thought i was holding my finger on one note for 10 minutes....it didn't agree with me"

  • This video never offically confirmed that it is Syd's first trip, it was confirmed as "one of his earliest drug taking experiences". I am assuming it's L.S.D he's on. All members of Pink Floyd (Mason, Gilmour, Waters and Wright) have confirmed in interviews that they were not taking L.S.D. or any drugs aside from alcohol and the occassional joint, Sorry Stoners.....

  • By the way...The Pink Floyd Experience got its name from "The Band from Big Pink" which later became "The Band".....or from two albums in Syds collection, one by Pink Anderson and the other by Floyd Council. They dropp ed the Experience when supporting Hendrix....Syd was experiencing Bipolar Disorder BEFORE he took acid which promoted a pre-exisitng schizophrenic condition

  • wow...just like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!!! very good 'loehly'! maybe you are right.... :-)

  • Wow Man! If you take every 5th letter you get SOYA!!!! And Syd was a VEGAN when he didnt eat meat!!!!! Far out!!!!....... Lucy was a girl who went to school with Julian Lennon and DIDNT take acid...but hey, she died of rickets in the SAME YEAR as SYD!!!!!!!! Faaaaaarrrrr Ouuutttttaaaaa Space music man!

  • This is my sleep song. :)

    I just love Pink Floyd, without them I'm nothing!♥

  • no se porque me hace pensar en las Malvinas este tema...

  • I love mushrooms and Floyd together!

  • Great Video!!!

  • @ loehly

    that's NOT a coincidence.

  • soooo gooood great guitar

  • 1:58 for fuck sake says he. it's the 60s but it could be right now. anyone? what is life about. anyone plzzz

  • and anyone can loose their mind. i like to remember syd as a very intelligent man, and the influence he had on so man people and music. not as a drug victim.

    peace.

  • @Pops1800 then another one a year later after the astronomy domine one where he was no longer in the band and wallowing in the background sadly while david gilmour played astronomy domine instead. i agree the acid had definetly influenced his mental condition, but not just that. syd barrett was a perfectionist, and very open minded, and analyitical of himself, combine his personality with the unmoderative use of such a strong mind alterating substance and the pressure of hike up the hill of fame

  • @Pops1800 haha im sorry bro. i was drunk when i made those comments and when i drink i can really take things out of proportion and take little comments too seriously, but who doesn't. anyways, i just respect the this video because its extremely hard to find footage of syd barrett. ive seen maybe two interviews of him, one of him performing astronomy domine i believe it was, then an interview of him after he was kicked out of the band

  • It amazes me how many druggies comment on Pink Floyd videos, I think honestly you don't have to be high on pot or acid to understand how amazing Pink is, the drugs weren't all that made Syd the crazy diamond.

  • call me prejudice, but i know good music when i hear it, i don't sit and criticize video footage of a founder of one of the greatest musical talants that will have ever existed in this universe.

  • @Pops1800 i could have a gay chimpanzee masturbating himself with a bananna in this video and still enjoy it because im more focused on the masterpiece that is this music. nothing even REMOTELY close to this song has been released lately that can even be COMPARED. it'd be a mockery.

  • @Pops1800 you're being irrevelant and thinking inside the box my friend, show a little respect to the soul purpose of this video. pink floyd isn't god but it's pretty close in musical perspective.

  • i wanna see the whole video cuz i know from expeirence doses last longer than 9 minutes

  • Actually this is obvious a compilation. Not one instance. 

  • this song brings back so many memmories this song basicly saved my life i was so depresed in high school and i had every floyd album and when i listened to this song and hit a bowl of kind ganja all my probloms would go away. felt like i was looking back at myself like it was my song always reminded me to be positive even though so much bad shit was happening. i can say we ALL can relate to this song to this day it fills my heart mind and soul

  • The chick at 4:34 is tripping some serious balls...

  • Every band has a band song beetles with revolution 9 stones I forgot the album I didn't like the song let it bleed tho etc etc but tell me a song of pink floyd that is bad and I'll prove you wrong

  • @stuntdigger Your right. Pink Floyd doesn't have one bad song:)

  • R.I.P Peter Freaker

  • 10 numpties at the button I see, sad peeps ehh?

  • Actually it was a mushroom trip

  • Comment removed

  • i have a 4 cd set i bought off ebay like 10 years ago, its called "The Syd Barrett Archives" its all the early stuff from when it was The Pink Floyd. has a lot from ther bbc and UFO club along with interviews and never heard footage. Syd will live in our hearts FOREVER

  • That sax is hypnotic.

  • Yep, Acid was a great thing! Helped! Sure makes you look like a normal productive member of an uptight real world. I think I could enjoy staring at a log for 13 hours. Wonderful clips here. And set to a somber masterpiece in honor of a tragedy we all benefited from and perhaps Syd did too. Of course to those who somehow can't understand it and think of it as a loss. Hmmmm. I am sorry for those immediate family members that had to watch Syd but I somehow believe things inside Syd were just fine

  • Thank You Melodia Bell... This is Awesome, Wonderfull for me, I can to listen all day.. You sy the Truth !!! Kisses & Hugs !!!

  • Wasn't that supposed to be 1965, rather?

  • Take the initials of the first, third and fifth word:

    Shine on

    You crazy

    Diamond

    Anyone noticed this?

  • @loehly i'd say it's probably just coincidence, but still its sick

  • @loehly Nice.  Never noticed that.

  • @loehly Every odd word. Maybe because he was so odd? I dunno, I'm just adding fuel to the fire.

  • @loehly 

  • @loehly 

  • @loehly Prime numbers...

  • i had NO idea....well done, bro

  • @loehly fuck i think is not just coincidence

  • R.I.P. Syd

  • I love Pink Floyd soo much and I want to say: THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

  • Love Pink Floyd. Love Syd's early stuff. But this video was a contrived, staged "TRIP" video. Sorry to burst all your bubbles folks. Yet this song will remain as a favorite to me and among all Floyd fans. A great piece of work. Peace.

  • @zz8691

    I didn't understand a sigle word from your statements ;)

  • @kamglow too math = to much

    too match sadness thins = too many sad things

    This clip looks like Syd's view, that he is watching everything from "outside". too many bright colors, too many strange actions. Many sad things occured with Pink Floyd... Nevertheless, Pink Floyd lives.... Great music never dies...

    Well, said, well said!

  • I am melted.No I've dissolved like a piece of sugar into water.I am observer from outside

  • Comment removed

  • Love Pink Floyd and this song is absolutely amazing! :-)

  • @WishfulSinful65

    Match more then ever you think.This song is never have the age,and  have not to be.

    Excuse me,for my english

  • @zz8691

    This song will never get old... i agree man

  • great videos allways love pink floyd is more then music.

  • we are born as pure souls.

    We have the entire universe to explore.

    Shine on with your ideas, works and most importantly, what you feel.

  • I don't think that I would want to take another acid trip. That stuff can cause a person to go absolutley out of ones own mind. mind you all the trips Im had were good ones. mighty strange stuff.

  • @sputnik1 You are so right, this occurred to me today as I learned some truth of our birth and reincarnation cycles, they are playing us like the movie clash of the titans, except the stars are the titans, and we all play the parts on this earth for them, they made us as souls, and sent us to earth to play drama experience in the body, then we go back to them and integrate our memories so they can experience our life without having to incarnate themselves, well some do still incarnate themselves

  • The words to this song are so universal, epic to the extreme. The stars are alive, and we are connected to them in deeper ways than we understand.

  • thanx again

  • Quería compartir con vosotros este corte del tema Shine on you crazy diamond... porque creo que todos podemos hacerlo... BRILLAR HIJ@S DE PUTA!!! será un mundo mejor para todos.

    (Esta parte hace que se me pongan los vellos de punta...

    y lo que no es el vello también...)

  • Great job! I couldn't think of a better music video for this song, well done.

  • we will forever honor syd barrett for his music talents. we love you syd. ur in my heart forever and plz stay there. whatever i do just stay there.

  • shit he looks like hes having a great time..

    RIP.

  • PINK FLOYD

  • sex to my ears

  • from bahrain floyd the best

  • what year did Syd pass away ? in a Swiss mental institute, yes ?

  • Roger Barrett (he ceased calling himself Syd Barrett) died at his late mother's home in Cambridge in 2006.

    Also, it might be of interest to know that this was not a video of Syd Barrett on an acid trip. The person who filmed the video admitted it in an interview for a documentary.

  • wrong, wiki it

  • wikipedia lies, didnt you learn that in like 2nd grade....

  • Lo scarico immediatamente.

    Fantastico psichedelico......

  • Yeah back then we had owsley bathtub acid and sandoz tablets, very intense for hours and hours. Freeze dried mushrooms made lovely sandwiches

  • who is in the video???

  • @Cedrictheheadric ,my dog.

  • ahhahaha

  • SYD BARRETT!!!!!!

  • ... this isnt his first trip, it is his first DOCUMENTED trip

  • Yes, it's his first DOCUMENTED trip as I clearly stated in the vid description.

    Shine on!

    "Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Video is reportedly Syd Barrett's first documented acid trip - Summer, 1966) R.I.P. Syd "

  • @Phreakypoop

    This clip look's like the Syd Barret's view,that he is see from outside.Too match bright colors,too match strange actions.

    Too match sadness thins occured with the Pink Floyd

    in last time.

    Nevertheless,Pink Floyd live,,,,Great music never die

  • it was the 60's they all took acid at some point

  • i wonder if roger waters ever took acid

  • I really love you and I mean you...The sky above you crystal blue........Syd

  • ♥Syd♥ is the deffinition of innocence. Lo♥e him SO much!!

  • Acid was fun and that was exactly how my went, it's amazing how beautiful and calming nature is when tripping.

  • ifeel the same exact way w/ boomers

  • who is the guy without tshirt??

    by 6:28

  • It is Syd Barrett! The song, the album, the video is about him. He is the "Crazy Diamond". He was Pink Floyds' first guitarist.

  • And when the band you're in starts playing different tunes

    I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

  • @FTStratLP exelent!

  • @FTStratLP It was syd´s Band he started it...

  • @FTStratLP and the founding member

  • @FTStratLP I'd say Syd IS (who later allowed the band to became) Pink Floyd 

  • @FTStratLP or is uncle syd???

  • oh thats syd hot huh

  • May your legacy shine on, syd, you crazy diamond.

    you had the biggest influence on my music!

  • TREMENDO

  • i normaly listen to death metal but this just sounds so genius

  • dude same here. i'm a huge death metal fan but this just blew my fucking mind

  • Yeah man, floyd is insane. Check out echos mans, sick song like this.

  • Echoes is the best, man.

  • Its Pink Floyd :)

    Thats why !!

  • ti tin tink ti ti tink ting

    OIL CAN

  • the man dead certainly lived, i'll tell you that. like a mountain goat. bad trip is only when syd and richard wright don't allow remaining members to do what they shine at.

  • remember when you were young,,,, you shne like the sun!!!!!!!! shine on you crazy diamond....

  • la mejor rola de pinkf loyd

  • This is my fave PF song of all... majestic, melancholy, gorgeous... I was 17 when ths LP came out, and going thru my own drama of loss and sadness... was years before I could listen to this song without tears... finally learned to re-appreciate it by learning it on guitar. I'm no Dave (lol)... but yes, this is PF's finest hour. I like all the live versions-- but thx for this alt vid. RIP Syd... and peace to all.

  • Wonderful tribute to Syd,interesting and well done,***** !!!

  • i've got this thing on dvd, and there's two parts to it. the first part is the trip, and the second is of pink floyd outside emi offices in london when they're gonna sign the record deal. so it's probably at least an early trip :P

  • Shine on my diamond!  I love you!!

  • Acid+Pink Floyd=Goodass Trip.

    No Floyd=Bad Trip... There no bueno. =[ trust me!

  • Sus ojos son como agujeros negros en el cielo...

    pero brilla mas q el sol.

    pernanece detras de la luna, con sus ideas y sus locuras...

    Grande syd barrett.

    Genio total.

  • i like the video they played at the pink floyd laserspectacular...it was like viewing what he saw in the trips

    he died the day after my birthday...which sucked

  • RAP stands for Retards Attempting Poetry

  • yes

  • beautiful......

  • This is probably closer to his 1,000th trip, lol...

  • Wow if this was his first imagine what his second trip was like!

  • YES!

  • I feel a bit like him, only that I just smoked weed, but still. Such a beatiful song, they don't make them that way no more :( Really want to live in the sixties.

  • It is ashame about Syd but some people are more sensitive to things than others ie more sensitive to mental health problems. he just wanted to be left completely alone after a while . Thats geniuses for you

  • This is the featured item for January the 6th in The Song For Today, written by Jimmie Oliver.

  • Written by Jimmie Oliver? How dare you try and take credit away from Pink Floyd. Damn you to hell!

  • acid really messed him up but i respect him.

  • Sadly Sid left us around the time of all the other greats. He simply remained on the Earth physically.

    His biggest contribution was to set in motion a band that made really great music after he left.

  • Yes - it's ironic however (perhaps even sarcastic since I'm pretty much walking all over his grave by saying so) that Pink Floyd "sucked" before Gilmour joined

  • Pink Floyd sucked before Gilmour joined? You've got to be kidding me. You don't like Piper at the Gates of Dawn or A Saucerful of Secrets!?

  • I can't say I'm very familiar with the earlier work, but from what I've heard of it, no sorry - I don't.

  • hey! what's going on youtube? if you write the word "acid" they suspend the publication of the commentary?

  • hey! the song is a little diffrent from the album! =\

  • i watch the video because i like the song, now thats what you should comment on, ford rules

    i mean good job

    pink floyd rules

  • This is a hot video.

  • wow syd was the first person to make a you tube vid...think about it.....who the fuck else would video their trip before now....nice

  • He made a home video clip yes.

  • so is it true that he was a schizo before the acid, the acid only amplified it out of his control? He was a genius, but it's sad what became of him.

  • lol at OldSkoolSoldier, internet is the only place you can actually make friends and you blew it there too!

  • damn it looks like he is trippin real hard!

  • usho so cute I just want to grab you by the cheeks and squeeze xx

  • Why should I care if your just some prick with absolutely no life with nothing better to do than to insult people who have actually done something with their life. So, what's it like knowing that your complete existence is a failure and you know you will never achieve anything in your sad, pathetic life?

  • lame comment :)

  • too the guys speaking random shit i cant understand, what i do understand is u calling syd a junkie two words for you FUCK YOU!!!!

  • I think Syd Barrett was AMAZING i don't care who the hell think he's a fanny he was a complete genius.case closed

  • what a shame

  • OldSkoolSoldier: sos un pelotudo no sabes de musica criticas pink floyd y escuchyas motley crue indio yankee tenias q ser para no saber nada BOLUDAZO!!

  • A vague question...

    What does this say about the world?

  • nothing, it speaks of syd barrett, i guess you could say it speaks to the world dont do too much acid in a short period of time but john lennon took lsd every day for like a year and he was cool

  • Yeah, real damn shame... all these great guys, Syd and John and all the others whom I can't recollect, all of them dying way too early or going crazy way to soon. The music that they make laps endlessly like waves in an ocean, kissing their feet as they sunbathe on the Plutonioan Shore... The ocean is leviathan, No?

  • you on acid 2?

  • Nah, just high on life. You should try it, it's great.
