Recorded on July 20, 1968, "Clowns and Jugglers" is an early version of the song "Octopus," Syd's only solo single. The version featured here is produced by Peter Jenner, Syd's manager. The overdubs were added on May 3, 1969 and were produced by Malcolm Jones.
The video includes many still photos of Syd that I combined in succession to create some exciting and manic Syd action. I tried my best to sync his movement with the music. Hope you enjoy it!

Before people start spewing crap that Syd was "gone" and that this is off-time, it's the Soft Machine (the band playing with him) that can't keep up.
Syd had this thing by then not letting the musicians rehearse the song, but going straight in recording it and having them follow his guitar. He'd change the tempo and time signature a lot and wouldn't let them re-record it.
If you listen to the song "No Good Trying", they also barely kept up there, but that track produced some stunning drumming.

The "all interviews" you quote are all versions of the members of PF who cowardly kicked Syd out. Unfortunately Syd never gave an interview to say what HE thought about what they did. It is possible that they "helped" Syd in order to keep him away. And in the process might have done a little sabotage. Why instead of "helping" him they did not invite him back to HIS band, the Pink Floyd? Those guys acted like snakes.
