He was always brilliant in the Floyd shows. His style was the best, and I always preferred his musical creativity to all the flashy virtuoso keyboardists of the seventies.

[@F1NUTRR]

I'm happy with your comment arklat. I thought PULSE was their finest show and to have Roger with his then new and sensational contribution was the crowning glory for me. But everyone was on their game - wonderful. I play it almost daily at the moment. But I also enjoy exploring back to their very early years when the music was, I will say, less melodic and far more exotic (but interesting) for me as a contrast to the amazing Dark Side of the Moon and later. I just thought Pulse was the culmination of their performances and after that there was some but not a lot more that I could put up there at the same height. They weren't a complete group any more and that's a great loss to the fans. I know there were more performances but I revel in the PULSE music, timing, construction and end result. But we luckily have remastered and even quadrophonic re-issues to enjoy.

[@markco61]

One of a kind music by an "insane genius"! Barret's best song in my opinion. Waters did a great job of making sure Syd wasn't forgotten. No one who suffers from mental illness should be cast aside or forgotten. Syd reminds us that those who suffer from mental illness are often very likable, intelligent and gifted people. That is why his former band mates cried after seeing what had become of him when he showed up unannounced in the studio in 1975. They were more than likely viewing this performance as a tribute to him. Great performance by Nick and Rick too!

We usually kept it folded to sit on but this time we had so much room we spread it full out in the center of the hall, laying back and snuggling. It was like a private show.

[@MilesBellas]

"It was during this tour, on April 30, that Pink Floyd played an hour-long set in an empty Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, filmed for broadcast by small local television station called KQED. “At that point, they were really anxious to have whatever publicity they could,” remembers the program’s co-producer at KQED, Jim Farber. “We did not have much of a budget. Pink Floyd did the performance and offered the rights for a certain number of airings for practically nothing. My memory is we paid them $200.”" "Pink Floyd, for as strong an underground following as they building in the United States, were so eager for an American audience that they played a free concert at UCLA a week later. (Farber traveled to Los Angeles with the band in the hopes of getting some additional footage, but none was used. The free concert, he explains, “was really a disaster.”)" maybe a disaster for filming but not playing......around this time was their best IMO

And I LOVE that Roger Waters is still out there, inventing tour concepts and challenging people and getting involved in politics and speaking truth to power. But Pink Floyd’s post-1972 concept album/progressive rock period, engaging as it is, can get so overburdened with gimmicks that it really overwhelms the music, while their earlier kids-with-instruments-and-mics-unchained-in-a-studio Syd Barrett-influenced period is so reckless and always teetering on the edge of disaster, it’s great fun to sink into. 🙂 Thanks for uploading this! ❤️

TheDoors Greatest I love you👆😍😍

I was in Germany in 1980 for a high school German club trip. Stayed with a farm family, walked to a castle five miles away for a festival. Pink Floyd was on stage. Need I say more?

[@JB-sb2uw]

My first PF album was Ummagumma on an 8 track tape. As they said back then, "Far out, man!'

[@jimleads8619]

My beloved aunt got me the double album when I was 12 or 13...blew my mind.

[@ugomastroianni7473]

Ummagumma è un disco immortale! Quest'anno sono 55 candeline e sembra partorito ieri!!!!❤❤❤

Perfect, great to hear and see

The best band of the world forever and ever 🙏

The greatest band that has ever been or ever will be, all bow with eternal hails...

[@gregdemos9240]

I can hear Roger saying to himself - 'check out this Gilmour cat I found'. The collective genius that is The Pink Floyd, pioneered by Syd, ushered in by timing, experimentation, advent of a culture of musicianship, the stars aligned and they knew they were onto something big. As fans we can't say we walked in their shoes, clearly they worked tirelessly and strategically, advantageously sprung up from fertile ground and fertile imagination with great talent. the value of the whole always greater than the sum of its parts. One of the greatest case studies in artistry & business & culture.

[@TheVickersDoorter]

The version played at Mothers in Birmingham on Ummagumma is THE first Floyd track I ever heard, whilst on a school exchange trip to Arles in 1973. It literally shaped my course in life in terms of my career choice.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Imagine still playing a song your former band leader wrote about 4 years earlier. They were impressive to have kept going. Still a few years before they found their own style

[@frankcarmen9429]

I've 'seen' Pink Floyd LIVE, a total of 9 times! In their first 2 U.S.A. tours {at "The Forum" & at "The San Diego Civic Auditorium"}! They performed Side One of "Ummagumma" at both concerts! I mean those performances were EXACTLY like listening to the Album; "Careful With That Axe Eugene" was an ABSOLUTE Masterpiece played LIVE! They played at Mind-Bending sound levels the Sound Effects and everything!! They were, of course, the First ACID ROCK Band who performed pure Psychedelic Rock {and only Psychedelic Rock}, pre-"The Wall"! David was the Focus of them, Live!! Being on Acid and hearing them play "Ummagumma" LIVE, was a Once-In-A-Lifetime, Totally-Unbelievable experience!!!

[@napooliveros356]

I love this song. It´s really something marvellous

[@erixoff]

Preferred part: the improvisation of Rick WRIGHT on organ Thanx for the upload !

[@j.r.3664]

I´m thinking of a cold night out in the countryside, with the grass illuminated by the lights of a nearby deserted highway. I feel the cold on my back and gives me the jitters. I see the steam of my breath in the air. I am all alone. Yet somehow, I am filled with hope and excitement for the future.

[@michaelsinn16]

Its like a PBS broadcast. Love it!!!!

[@llednop]

What do you get when you have 4 geniuses playing this good in a single band? You get the Floyd, PINK FLOYD!

[@hsnh]

I brought this album with me to an introduction week in Witmarsum / Netherlands of my electrical engineering training (M.T.S. Leeuwarden) that was in 1974/1975 and it will have been a revelation for many classmates . I still think this album is exceptional and one of Pink Floyd's best albums. Ummagumma is still great.

Excellent - Thank You! I never thought I'd see a video of this!

[@Dolores5000]

Fave version is Ummagumma but this is right exactly in the same time frame so the arrangement is almost identical love this!!!!

[@c_adams4667]

This video is a gift. Proper music.

[@NicksVideoArchivesWorldHQ]

Awesome! Very much like the Ummagumma version. Always loved how they stopped in the middle and let Rick float in the Ether with the Farfisa/Binson. Great rare footage!

[@VinceFerrante]

Seeing Nick play some serious double bass is awesome. He was very ahead of his time in many aspect, that being one of them.

[@Decalpha]

Most timeless band in the world

Great song great tribute to Syd he done this song so well when he was there, sad he wasn't there longer, this is 1 of the best band's ever 😃🤟

[@rubyvanvlog6396]

I saw them in 1975 the first concert I ever went to they did everything from Dark Side of Moon to the hole wish you was here some stuff from animals that wasn't released yet and older stuff a good $4.50 well spent

[@monolithgeometry3221]

$4.50 wouldn't buy a bottle of water now at a show eh. Sound about right

[@michaelfellinger6477]

Yeah saw that Van! ...blew my mindd

[@michaelfellinger6477]

First set: ECHOES, intermission followed by ALL of DarkSide and I believe that was it as I recall Vanshow.

[@aquamarine99911]

To be fair, $4.50 was approximately what I earned from two hours work at McDonald's a year later. My hourly rate is a bit higher now, but I would still pay that for such a concert.

[@kevindore6120]

Saw of 1973 Madison Wisconsin 4bucks doom awesome, windowpane

[@NichaelCramer]

I remember seeing this program when it was first broadcast on what-was-then the newly-born PBS network. I lived out east of Indianapolis and the nearest PBS station was then at Butler University on the west side of Indianapolis. The broadcast power of the station was the so low that it was only on "lucky" nights could we receive the signal out where we lived. Fortunately, that night we could (kind of) receive the signal, so I got to watch a pretty snowy image on my parents' spare 12-inch B&W portable TV. I still remember hearing "Grantchester Meadows" for the first time during the program....

[@robyn051]

Not bad

[@angusmcfadden5662]

Syd Barrett but not you syd you do it the best

[@edenmuratalla5676]

Not bad cus its perfect

[@rickleblanc8900]

Not bad? Just bloody brilliant!

[@tomburns70]

Why would someone imply that they are, 'Syd Barrett,' if they're not, huh!? Just another example of who knows? Take care, Syd

[@vandalking8341]

Lol😂😂😂

[@harmsilvius]

This is fantastic, Syd live and kicking. Man, thanks to the person who placed this video. Really great.

[@murielmottet]

Thank you mister Gilmour 😃

[@robyn051]

muriel mottet you should thank me for writing the song

[@murielmottet]

Syd Barrett😎

[@danielbouju1688]

syd barett wrote it...

[@billyhodges4200]

Long live the true genius behind Pink Floyd...the Crazy Diamond, Syd Barrett

[@kwd-kwd]

while I certainly give Syd much respect, the others did write the bulk of what we now know to be Pink Floyd. So Dave and the others deserve a healthy chuck of credit as well
