This was actually originally broadcast in color. The original color was lost since the archival copy was black&white. I was a young kid, but I actually saw this on a color TV, in color, when it was originally broadcast in 1967. Thanks for this restoration - it’s pretty close. (The episode from the week before this features Van Morrison… the existing video for that one, also on youtube, has the original color intact.)

[@avlisk]

I wondered about that. Thanks for the info!

[@ArtistontheBorder]

That explains. I've been trying different tools and clips in this processc and I commonly find that most black/white video fails to render color properly. This clip however, recorded on the cusp of ABC starting color broadcasting, just worked. As far as I can gather it may be due to this being monochrome color footage. As if the various RGB color keys are still present in the footage. Sad, that we won't get to see the original. Glad I could help giving an approximation of what it would have been like!

ARTICLE IN THE "LOS ANGELES FREE PRESS ~ NOVEMBER 5,1967 ~ "Pink Floyd, another mind bending group from England, made its only local appearance last weekend at Santa Monica's Cheetah [Club]. Even the seaweed was swinging at the end of their first set. The unbelievable sound of Pink Floyd was first heard through a hurricane of colour, bringing total sensual involvement of audience and performers, each absorbed in the creation of aural/visual experience. The creation belonged to Pink Floyd, but there was ample room for all of us to share their visions, their feelings. At the end, the audience might have been another creation of the facile collective mind of Pink Floyd. To quote their press release, "There can be no barriers, there can be no predictions." Note: This is the coolest review I have ever read about a Pop/Rock concert!

I'd no idea what he was talking about, there was nothing to see but he was so high that he thought that the cornflakes were putting on a little show for him, singing and dancing, and he was having the best time watching them. I left the room and I could hear him laughing to himself for ages. I kinda had the feeling that he may be on the way to losing his mind."

Syd Barrett was a enigma for many years when I was younger because I had no computer or internet until I was about thirty and any written information on Syd was rare and not widely distributed. When I learned the whole story there was no sense of completion it only render a unfortunate sense of disheartened closure for such a true and genuine genius to have to experience. Syd was to far out there to stay grounded and he was able to transform the essence of music to produce what I could only described as a sonic state of mind with his songs which resonated within the cores of peoples beings with harmonies of whimsy and awe. Thank you for commemorating this legioned and for letting people know the anomaly that was Syd Barrett!!

[@lemurianchick]

He was schizophrenic--triggered by too much acid. Did he write this song? Because it's not very melodic. I'm confused how it even wound up on "Bandstand" in the first place.

[@ricktherrien8235]

@@lemurianchick to make all music that is all Melodic limits the creator just like writing music using only minor keys or pentatonic scales. Music is about personal expression not about being able to tap your toe to it that’s simple pop music. I am not saying Syd did not have Schizophrenia it’s it’s just you can look at it various ways and one who looks at someone as schizophrenic will see schizophrenic traits and one who sees someone as creative will see their creative traits. I have schizoaffective disorder (schizophrenia and Bi-Polar in one) and I display very little symptoms because I look at it as a part of my creative and Spiritual side and sense. I have played and written music since I was a child and I listen to everything from death metal like Slipknot to Opera like Phantom Of The Opera and classical like Johann Sebastian Bach. So I’ve had a lot of experience with both listening and writing music and I’ve found that the more one is diverse in his thinking and mind the more broad his taste for music will be. I am not saying this is their best work I am just saying there was not a lot of music Syd contributed to so they had to use whatever they could to fill the spots for the listeners.

Shine on you crazy diamond, I've never seen this and considering it's 1967 I'm amazed Pink Floyd made it to be who they are today. I'm not sure American bandstand was ready for it. Ironically I'm also listening to Pink Floyd on the radio right now. Welcome to Machine.

"Hard to Dance to I think I give it a 67" Hysterical!! And the Rest is History!!!

[@dougbennett8592]

But it would make for a very odd interruptive dance performance.

[@johnd8776]

You sure? Perhaps at least the few kids in the audience who had dropped some acid before the show were thinking: “ Wow, nice beat, easy to dance to” ??? They were feeling “colorized” at least….

[@deheckler]

@@johnd8776 American Bandstand was All about showing off the New Dance Craves totally Straight Kids that hadn't even listened to Jimi let Alone Syd RIP Barrett

[@camblas6380]

Its great to see the views on this climbing so quickly, already surpassed the orginal lol. It'd be lovely to see other b&w videos from them brought into color. I only found a few on youtube

[@ArtistontheBorder]

I don't want to gloat. But the Internet deserves better. Not saying mine is but these dusty old videos are a pain sitting through. I want it to be enjoyable

[@almostbeatlessongs]

Wow. Never seen this. So fun watching Syd and the rest not even bother!

[@tsaxondale2499]

Thanks!

[@ArtistontheBorder]

No. Thank you! =)

[@gilbertosaavedra4253]

This is so raw I can’t believe you bright color to this

[@Resurrector333]

Brilliant. Thanks

[@ArtistontheBorder]

No, thank you for watching.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

i have every floyd album through "a momentary lapse of reason" but never heard this song before. kudos to dicky baby for putting pink floyd on his show. i would've liked to hear the interview. oh, and thanks for the video. it was excellent!

[@LeeNottingham]

Good work on this. The effort is appreciated by many.

[@xdef1ne]

[@chantaldesobri3808]

This is so great!

[@damonhines8187]

Very cool!!

[@alz1878]

Awesome thanks so very much. Syd would be happy

[@raulmacias1311]

My! Roger Waters looks so intimidating! Rog only looked up to one person, and that was Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett.

[@rdeye-rb1pe]

Syd was in the 4th dimension spiritually in this recording his makeup is superb shine on madcap taught us u can take your guitar anywhere u want anytime love his fender

[@flyjohnson711]

Syd is practically drooling on himself and out of it. The whole band look lost and the performance is a disaster.

[@karlosed]

Fantastic work. Thank you!

[@nanpsy]

Quedo muy buena la restauración! Gran trabajo. Great job! Congratulations! Cheers 👏

[@giuseppesperanza5583]

Fantastico! Ottimo restyling del video. Grazie!

[@markmclellan7146]

Never seen this before. There might be a reason...a fine line between genius and nonsense.

[@ArtistontheBorder]

Indeed. A very fine and often blurry line.

[@flyjohnson711]

Pink Floyd is my favorite band, and this is an embarrassing disaster. Amazing that in only 5 years they would pull off Pompeii then record Dark Side. Holy Moly this is bad.

[@terjehansen0101]

@@flyjohnson711 Yeah, kids get embarrassed a lot... hang in there, sport !

[@creativologist1813]

Art is always that way, isn't it?

[@ArtistontheBorder]

@@creativologist1813 right. A find border to balance on, like me, the artist on the border (Damn I need some pompous music for that line) 😉

[@barneyrubble4827]

Loved some early Floyd & tho this is regarded as pioneering, ahead of its time sound, I see no appeal. I became a Floyd fan in the mid 70's in high school... Umma Gumma & Meddle were the earliest albums I later discovered and liked but Dark Side put PF on my map, still one of the best and innnovative rock albums of all time by any standard.

[@virgilward870]

Yeah.... on Bandstand.. a teeny bopper dancing show.. That right there just scarred the bopper for life...js...

[@maettsook]

appreciate your hard work immensely cheers!

Thank you! 😊
