Having domineering and stubborn tendencies doesn't mean you can't be a kind person at the same time. No-one is 100% good or evil, and with all the interviews and song lyrics I've heard, I'm pretty sure Roger values the humane and compassionate part of himself more that anything. That being said, acknowledging our flaws is indeed an important part of the solution.

I think it was the Pat Boone interview where he just stares blankly at the host...that what the stories say.

And Clarke moved quickly to Rick I noticed.....

[@johnnyoranges]

A lot of people on here slagging off Dick, but he's probably just putting them at ease in a very short segment. And it's an improvement on "what's your favorite color?" (apart from pink). That had been a typical question asked of pop stars at one time. It just wasn't taken that seriously, even tho a lot of it was great music. Also, Dick was a star here, while the Floyd were practically unknowns, certainly in the US.

[@timstamps5281]

Some writers for a Pink Floyd fanzine interviewed Dick Clark a few decades after this. Clark's recollection was that they were nice gentlemen, and he only remembered it as being pleasant. Same with Pat Boone, who also had them on his show that week (a videotape of that one has never surfaced). In that one, Syd was interviewed but wouldn't say much. Years later Boone still said they were nice.

[@darryl_mason]

That was the case for most of the claims of 'Syd Lost It On TV!' until the videotapes resurfaced. I noticed Pink Floyd members changed their versions of the Syd Days when it became clear most of the TV appearances he did were perfectly fine and he was trying to be The Pop Star the rest of the band wanted him to be. Let's never forget that Syd did actually try to do what EMI and the rest of the band wanted for most of 1967. He knew they couldn't be The Next Beatles before everyone else did. He got it. He knew their limitations.

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

[@Danimal77]

Compared this Syd to the Syd from a month or 2 earlier when he and Roger are being interviewed together. In that interview, you can clearly see the LIFE and SPARKLE in his eyes. There was an air of lightness and happiness to him. He had such charm and awareness at that stage. It's CRAZY how only a month or two later he would overdose and the person that was Sid would be no more. Nobody home. Like a lobotomy, where the personality is killed but the body lives on, which is evident in this interview.

This was very cool to watch. Pink Floyd on prime time American Bandstand at this point in their career.

Dick Clark was very gracious though and I think quite respectful, knowing Pink Floyd already weren't just another flash in the pan band but a genuine artistic entity. Any shots of Syd fascinate me, and "Fats" as he was graciously nicknamed by the band did just fine here. No need to try and read into too much here. Peace

American Bandstand never aired in prime time. ABC broadcast it live weekday afternoons (after school time) and later relegated it to early Saturday afternoons and it was pre-recorded.

This one from 1967 was when Bandstand was on around 12:30 - 1:30 (give or take an hour depending on time zone) Saturday afternoon on ABC, and was originally taped & broadcast in color. The original color tape was more than likely destroyed, but they kept a B&W (monochrome) copy.

I think part of it is because at this time, music wasn't really respected as an art on the level of television or movies.

Syd had a very gentle smile while he listen to Dick Clark's good wishes for having anything more than cheeseburgers.

[@chrispraz5198]

Wow! Dick clarke, and Syd.... there's some alternate universe stuff.

[@edgarpenaflor2611]

I think that Syd wait for any question about their records or inspiration, but not happened...seems that Syd dont liked to interviewed

[@CarloContegno]

Mi piacerebbe sapere che organo sta usando richard qui. Non è il classico farfisa compact.

[@scottjohnson1235]

Does anyone know if this is clip is featured (comes from) the Early Years releases?

[@4mproductiondrones472]

I guess this explains why Dick didn’t take Carson’s place.

[@cynthiasmith5011]

Syd freaked him out

[@fromchomleystreet]

Just watched an interview with Rick where he misremembered this interview. He remembered it as being Syd who brought up hamburgers, apropos of nothing, and this being indicative of Syd’s declining mental state. In reality, Syd seems relatively lucid here.

[@50gary]

DC: do you know who I am? Pink Floyd: do you know who I am?

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Hey, this is nice :D

[@mrmrsmsmisscloud7512]

He was very good looking-exotic eyes, nice facial features, I would’ve done him for sure!!

[@bderrick4944]

If you are referring to Syd Barrett, he’d probably stop midway through and wander out of the house butt-naked in an LSD-fueled psychosis.
