Thanks John for uploading Libby’s interview, you did a great job getting her to reflect on her time with Roger all those years ago. The amazing thing she has bought to our understanding of him is the sense of his large personality that people often hint at but rarely encapsulate so clearly. That image of Mary Quant gravitating to his side says it all. A truly rare and special person loved by his family and all who knew him.

@@sydpink It's true that I did put the Floyd members' interviews on the first DVD back in 2002- although not totally uncut because of the DVD size limitations. But it has taken me 20 years to realise the value of revisiting all the 2001 interview tapes and slowly uploading them all to KZbin. Maybe the director of the new film will do the same eventually. It depends on who owns the copyright as well. That can be a stumbling block.

Hello John, I know your not aware of this but Roger Barrett, (I refuse to call him Syd as I feel he ran from that name all his life") is my all time favorite writer. I absolutely adored this interview with Libby, and the fact "Arnold Layne" was a real person!!! Now, it fact check time, did Libby have a child with Storm Thorgensen? Side story, Libby's daughter, one day, borrowed her mother's old fall coat and went out with a friend. Roger came peddling down the road on his bike, he noticed the coat, stopped, got off the bike, and bowed before Libby's daughter. He got up, and rode off, Libby's friend said "Did you know that was Roger Barrett? And Libby's daughter said, "Oh my God, I know who he is, he was my mom's old boyfriend".....Hope that story is true as I really can't remember where I heard it ...thanks John for this trip down (Syd) Roger Layne (Lane)......🤣😎

We are all blessed that Libby takes the time to share truths with us. She recognizes that many love him as an artist and musician and that we are grateful for all the gifts he gave us.

@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES17 күн бұрын
Frankly this is a very misleading and insensitive statement. Libby was his first girlfriend. They met when they 15 years old. It was much later on - after Syd left Pink Floyd - that he met Gala. Syd and Gala were engaged to be married in 1970. As his mental health deteriorated, his behaviour became increasingly erratic. That caused him to act towards Gala in a disturbing fashion. It resulted in their engagement being terminated.

Of course I know about the 1977 incident you refer to.

A couple of things: Firstly, wasn't Syd supposed to be an uncommunicative, disjointed wreck who barely knew where he was by the end of the American tour? Didn't they had to cut it short because he was in such a bad way? Although she acknowledges he was unwell and something was definitely wrong, her descripition hardly fits that of somebody suffering from a crippling mental illness. Maybe he'd just had enough of fame and the obligation of performing to people who were often hostile made him rebel against it. Secondly, given that the other members of the band had apparently earned so much money they could afford to buy "big houses in London" and he would have earned even more from songwriting royalties, what did he blow all of his money on aside from the car? There is never any mention that he owned any property and when he went to live with Duggie Fields a year later, the only posessions he had were a guitar, a stereo and his paintings.

Syd Barrett took drugs before his time with Pink Floyd. He was filmed doing it 🎞️🎥 On top of that, he lived in a bad shared apartment. He took LSD several times a week. No brain can handle that!!! The healthy Syd Barrett wrote 52 songs. Syd's second solo album was better than Pink Floyd's albums 2, 3 and 4. The sick Syd Barrett failed as a painter and musician!!! He didn't do anything anymore. Couldn't or didn't want to. Nobody knows exactly how Syd lived from 1975 to 2006 ??? The last documentary showed nothing new!!! No new information. How long did he battle his drug addiction ??? What illness did Syd have ??? Was Syd in a psychiatric hospital ??? He painted pictures and then burned them in his garden. Why did he live so isolated ??? He obviously had the illness of catatonia. I don't know if he ever found redemption or peace for his soul ??? A sad story.
