A Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett fan has discovered a lot of the information in ALL the published biographies is wrong. One of the most remarkable discoveries is a previously unknown live performance by Syd Barrett and his legendary band STARS on February 19th 1972. After this performance Syd only gave two more live concerts, both at Cambridge Corn Exchange on February 24th and 26th before he retired from the music scene forever!
Amazingly enough, his last performance was virtually ten years to the day after his very first performance as a member of the unknown local group "Geoff Mott and the Mottoes" on March 10th 1962.


The fan in question is Lee Wood a resident of Cambridge since 1962 who recently put all his local knowledge onto a limited edition DVD called "Syd's Cambridge", a tour of places in and around Cambridge associated with Syd Barrett and the roots of Pink Floyd for other fans around the world.


The DVD is part of a special box set comprising 14 different items. One of the items is a small sample of soil taken from Syd Barrett's back garden in 2006 when the house was put up for sale. This has now caused a lot of controversy after a member of Syd Barrett's family heard of the item and was shocked. The box set is limited to just 100 copies and each copy is individually numbered.

  • ROFL @ "PLUS - SPECIAL ITEM. A certified genuine sample of soil from Syd's garden

    "

  • Soil from his garden?! Jesus Christ and people wonder why he locked himself away.. There's a difference between being a fan and being a stalker.

  • Ok, Ok, Ok, where is the song of the begining. My e-mail is alvilo72@hotmail.com. PLEASE someone help and send it to me.

  • Shame how they changed the arcitecture on the Criteron (sp) Pub. Now it is all steel and modern. It was a classic English pub. I hear England is losing their pub culture. Too bad.

  • @shine350

    To say that Pink Floyd "milked" Syd's mental illness just seems wrong to me. I think that Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here both came from trying to understand and cope with Syd's breakdown. They didn't "milk" it at all, as that would imply that they only used Syd's illness for profit. Good music comes from raw emotion, and as a musician, you write about what is emotionally powerful to your soul, and seeing a lifelong friend (Syd) go like he did would be very emotional.

  • @shine350 - They always seem so genuine and remorsful, if you ask me. Better than completely never mentioning him ever again, surely?
