It doesn't take balls for him to play this song. Gilmour joined the Floyd to make sure Syd's songs got played properly when his old friend wasn't up to it. Sure, they may have been dicks for firing Syd the way they did, but Dave still took his role as Syd's back-up/stand-in very seriously and always did his best to promote him..

For the the record, Dave was playing the arpeggiated lead on the original version of this song. He credits Syd for the intro to "Baby Lemonade".

Gilmour helped produce the album, played some bass and played some 12-string acoustic guitar on the album

I have never heard Gilmore do Syd. This is a sublime rendition which loses none of the original yet demonstrates what a powerful songwriter Barrett was. Gilmore takes the trippy "novelty" aspect out of the equation, leaving the poetry to speak for itself. I feel this was Davids' role in much of his association with Syd. Another opinion, "No Syd Barrett, no Nirvana...". Lyrically at least.

@dclefevre Thank you. That's the same point I was trying to make.

@spyungart um.. there seems to be a lot of confusion about all this. David Gilmour played on and produced most of the Syd Barrett solo material... so all these "how dare he" type of garbage is WAY misplaced. He was a contributor too all those tracks, it's not like he picked the songs up and said "I can do this better."
