Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine [ Live 1968 ]

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Typical 60's silly questions in interview " If your records aren't selling are you going to do something about it"?.. Rogers response is AWESOME "NO we are just going to do what we do".

[@trentrez6643]

They did what all the greats do/did....wait for the rest of the world to catch up

[@ivyssauro123]

Nick is murdering his drums, awesome xD

[@andythomas706]

Ivo Wilson He certainly is! Sounds like he's trying to beat a dent out of the side of the group's van.

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Ivo Wilson I noticed that too!

[@martin8313]

the dent being syd missing, rogers vocals are a mess :(

[@garygomesvedicastrology]

This may be my favorite version of this song. This is probably the highest energy level I have seen the band achieve, at least in videos. I never saw them live.

[@marcelocm07]

Watch 'One of These Days' by Pink Floyd, live in Pompeii!

[@davidrenwick6851]

Gary Gomes But it doesn't feature Syd :(

[@andythomas706]

Gary Gomes Playing this 'high energy' number really fucked them up physically. They had to take the next 35 years off!! They've gone now!

[@drummerinthepark9641]

David Renwick Syd... I hear you.

[@RocketCalcutta]

They're really rocking out

[@DirkMcThermot]

Holy shit, Nick Mason is exceptionally aggressive here! That drumming could rival Keith Moon's.

[@andythomas706]

CoalTrain16 Only in your head it could rival Keith Moon! Even Nick is laughing at you!

[@DirkMcThermot]

Sorry I offended, man. Just making a lighthearted observation.

[@andythomas706]

CoalTrain16 I know. Me Too! Have you heard his 'Fictitious Sports' album. Its the best of the Floyd 'Solo' efforts by about 40,000 miles! Mind you, its a far better band!

[@DirkMcThermot]

I'm not a huge fan of PF (just started listening to the four main albums a few months ago). I haven't really listened to any of the solo stuff besides a liiiitle bit of Waters' and I haven't really even given it a fair chance. I'll check out the Fictitious Sports thing though. Could be interesting, at the least.

[@andythomas706]

CoalTrain16 Its a lot more than interesting! You'll love it! It's got Robert Wyatt on it for starters....

[@pulrh]

"Are you commercial?" "If our records are selling then we're commercial." "I don't think you're commercial." "So that means our records aren't selling then." !!! Great version of a great song.

[@gustavfloyd3469]

Gracias por compartir. Emocionante ver surgir a la Banda más grande de todos tiempos. Saludos Floydianos. Gustav de Rosario 🇺🇦

[@jeffreygorey5540]

In any video I've ever seen of a band being interviewed from the 60's or 70's the interviewer always asks the stupidest questions

[@maniaque37]

because the music was revolutionary and they were not used to this. we would probably sound weird also if we would ask questions to some aliens from other planets lol

[@madmattdrummer5487]

Holy shit nicks drumming in the video is crazyyyyy wow. He's so good!

[@mju75]

Top Ten Pink Floyd Songs!  seven!

[@TheIsabel7]

Nick is awesome! It's the first time I realize how important are the drums in this particular song. The timing is perfect.

[@jeffthrow6892]

Absolutely amazing, sinister, intense performance!!

[@StandForScience]

Love Mason's drumming. Like there's no tomorrow.

[@Macconator2010]

I love Roger's wit in this video, treating the word commercial as it is in the dictionary. Well if our records are selling here then we're commercial. I would say you're not commercial. So our records aren't selling then? Stupid interviewer.

[@seanslevin9992]

Roger the egotistical prick that would be lol 😁

[@Macconator2010]

sean Slevin He was an egotistical prick but without him Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall never would have happened. David was always a great musician but he was a shit lyricist. All lyrics from Dark Side - All Roger's.

[@seanslevin9992]

Agree Roger was the driving force regarding Lyrics as you know I'm not the brightest but surely harder to write the music? Just asking.

[@Macconator2010]

sean Slevin You're right, you're not the brightest. You are wrong on writing, each part is difficult in their own rights, now leave me alone.

[@seanslevin9992]

No problem I leave you alone no abuse you won't hear from me.

[@mysteryjesus]

Damn, I wish we had gotten at least a few more years of Syd so as to at least have had some more footage of him. That's my thought everytime I see footage from the post-Syd 60's. Can someone please invent time travel so that we can film him more, record him more and get him his own band?

[@resistandrevol]

yessss, I wish there were more footage with Syd, it’s just simply not enough

[@Sandwich13455]

He's in this at around 1.16 minutes

[@mysteryjesus]

@@Sandwich13455 You mean behind the amp?

[@specialross77]

I just love watching old interviews of rock bands from the 60s and 70s. The host is always trying to figure out rock n roll. "Why do you do this and Why do you do that?" The response should be "If you don't know now, you never will."

[@Milahvee]

i have such a huge crush on roger waters. he absolutely murders his bass here, and his sassy attitude

[@Vikernes-f9u]

Roger's interview cracks me up.. "I think your not commercial"... "So our records aren't selling here..."

[@toobmaniac]

That would be crazy if that was Syd lurking and observing from behind the P.A. speakers

[@Sandwich13455]

[@robyn051]

Shhh ;)

[@uonforuon]

I want to believe

[@revbookburn]

Their early work is out of this world

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Syd named the band by juxtaposing two blues cats names he saw in the liner notes of an album by a cat named Blind 'Boy' Fuller, which he had in his possession, Pink Anderson and Floyd Counsil ( more Piedmont blues )

[@ChrisStokes07]

Uuummm yeah we know... (yawn)

[@ChrisStokes07]

I didn"nt see anyone asking you stupid son of a bitch.

Excellent interview. Very insightful.

[@tonyateat5048]

This was awesome it brought good spirits into me c: thanks Pink Floyd for existing.

[@vfrmilco]

40 years after this recording, and it still shivers . The band is still far the best, last millenium and this century :-)

[@cheeezdooodle]

never seen this before....awesome! thanks for sharing!

[@beataspiewakjonsson1749]

Thanks for sharing 🙏💜 Shine on 💎

[@nik945-p2m]

Roger said that he gives a damn about not selling the band's record instead they will do what they like..Thats the words of true artist ..!!

[@TheBeatlefloyd]

lol interviewer, its not named after the colour, but after 2 blues/jazz musicians, man Roger is just rockin out! u hear his voice clearly in this video too, I adore Roger's little bass twitch he does with his hair

[@rentner66]

Oh god, this was the time. Pink at its best. Halls full of smoke, everybody on the floor, girls in your arms and dreaming and flying away, 8 miles hight. The best time in my life.

[@blownonfuel]

David's feedback is killer at the beginning of the song.

[@reevela]

The most wild performance of this song I've ever seen....

[@wbetson]

It cracks me up because of the way Roger answers the questions. He's very matter of fact about everything..

[@peterfreeman6677]

Pink Floyd were touring throughout much of 1968, and played venues in Belgium a number of times. The first visit was in February when they were filmed in a park, miming and messing about, for a Belgian TV show (these are on KZbin, look for Parc de Laeken). This performance is probably not in a TV studio (those were the days of miming to records, which they're not doing here). It might be at the end of August, at Kastival '68 in Kasterlee, but could be one of the clubs they played - the 68 tour schedule is linked to below, take your pick. And yes, in those days Floyd played loud - someone measured them at one gig at 120db, enough to damage your hearing if you're too close. But what the hell. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_World_Tour_1968 For all the was-that-Syd-at-1:21 posters : you never know. He was, by some accounts, quite likely to turn up at gigs and stand there staring fixedly at them. Most unnerving. If anyone can find a better-quality version of this performance, we might have the answer :)

[@dilosan4574]

Que bateria insana é essa!! Valeu Nick!!

[@vinstrumentals]

I love it,it is so raw, such energy. Contrasted with the latest much more refined and sophisticated Pink Floyd, it's very cool to see where they came from. I like both Pink Floyds and EVERYTHING by Gilmour in recent years.

[@matthewh8507]

Fantastic bit of drumming Nick! Just a Great bit of film. Thanks for posting.

[@DefineMagnumOpus]

love these guys

[@pytheus]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@WishYouWereHere75]

i agree with you. its a good song with gilmour or gilmour and waters singing, but syd was the one who wrote the song and played and sung on the master track, so naturally his guitar style fits the song and so does his voice.

[@patr942]

I think also it is David Gilmour. At this time (1968) Syd Barret has been excluded (unfortunately) from Pink Floyd because use of acid, and nobody can control him. But the creator of the song is Syd. Very incredible !!!

[@uonforuon]

Best performance ever

[@MidwestMidnight]

This is the most aggresive performance I've ever seen of the Floyd.

[@nu7976]

The guys were on fire that night!

[@williamsidebotham3728]

wow! fucking awesome song!

[@vampiroangelico]

I bet you the great noise bands like Sonic Youth and Longwave have learned from the psychedelic-era Pink Floyd quite a bit....Nothing wrong with it. I can see this is also where the earlier The Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen got a little inspiration....love it!

[@struttingbirdlofi]

Funny you mention that, I always heard alot of Syd's licks in Sonic Youth.

[@The10781]

Mason rocked!! Man could they play with sounds and ur head! 72 prov ri civic center. Quadaphonic sound 1st time. Man speakers as large as a car. Can still remember the seat. Which is a testament to their music hehehe ;-)

[@aetio2]

Very good video Mate!!! thanks very much. ;-)) aetio

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

That was an amazing video of their early day, or their transitional day I guess I should say. I always figured that this time in their lives was a very dark time and it certainly comes through in the music. Does anyone know, is this part of a larger video? Anyone have a link to the whole thing?

[@PurpleAndZeppelin]

The best Pink Floyd!!!!

[@astronome1144]

wow, fantastic!

[@Glenn-mq8ts]

This was before I knew of Pink Floyd, at this time I was into Iron Butterfly, Jimi Hendrix, and Steppenwolf.

[@Zopf-international]

I really love this version of Floyd. Punky as fuck. More footage of that drum kit shakin' please. Some of the other versions with Roger screaming thru' the song really are insane. Essential time in English music.

[@lau2483]

Muchos dirán que es ruido pero me encanta la pasión con la que tocan y reinterpretan sus propias canciones

[@milkywayexplorer942]

😂😂😂 then I love this "noise"

[@surfercrow]

Positively Gilmour. He had slightly shorter hair there, playing his white Stratocaster (see pictured on the Ummagumma album cover in '69). Here he sings the higher "woooo wooo" parts, but yeah, I didn't know Waters sang as much on this one, filling Syd's parts. Nice one, although a whole middle section of the song is missing...thanks!

[@vaibanez17]

I love this and what is so great about Pink Floyd is we got to see space/acid rock from them and total electronic 70's rock too. They were just brilliant all the way around and evolved many times over their course of existence. Unlike most, I enjoy the albums put out by David Gilmour and Richard Wright too, even the Division Bell. It's just solid music to throw on from track 1 to the end.

[@MarcoBeatles]

They became much more commercial after Ummagamma. By the way, amazing answer to this journalist

[@KeithCharlesDovoric]

This song is totally unique-sounding in the rock annals; its sound almost anticipated punk/metal.

[@davidmack4495]

awesome!! rogers getting into it!!!

[@QuentinT96]

wow astounding great song

[@FuzzyCabesas]

Wow, this is obviously the Punk version of "Astronomy Domine". They seemed really pissed off. Thanks.

[@bryemycaz]

It will be David on the guitar in this video. Yep Syd wrote the song but as this is 1968 unless it was filmed in January Syd would not be there as he last performed on stage with the Floyd in January 1968. In any case there would have been 2 guitarists as David was there by then.

[@thewordofgord]

yes, astonishing, no? great to hasve live footage of this, even if the editing is atrocious. look at the lads enjoying themselves! priceless! thanks for posting, sir. thewordofgord

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Gilmour might have said--Great music often doesnt sell to the masses. We DONT CARE if it sells.

[@brenhollhunt]

Nick Mason said in his book, Inside Out, that he experimented with the Keith Moon style of drumming for a while. Must have been exhausting! Love Roger getting crazy on the bass here.

[@richardroadman2036]

It gets better the more they keep playing

[@Ghoopty]

@hellraiser7974 Syd was ousted from the band just months before this - they actually just didn't pick him up for practice one day, apparently......

[@Nomadmandolin]

Great stuff!

[@KeithCharlesDovoric]

This is exactly what music should be: exciting, original, creative, and totally unique. Totally unlike most of the shit that exists today.

[@Erin91225]

Did David and Rick's faces have germs or something? Why does the camera have to be so revolved around Roger all the time.... I want Dave's pretty face!

[@trenttherandom1]

@TheBarbiturate Unless you were making some sort of clever pun there, I think he actually means that at 1:21, Syd is actually literally standing in the background, which would be right because this was February 1968 I believe.

[@VanFlex]

Nick is so cool!! :)

[@danielvlee]

It's not impossible. I've read several reports of Syd turning up at the early '68 gigs and glaring at the band he had just been kicked out of. It's possible that he was more pleasant once and they let him backstage at one of those... who knows.

[@Tarrassacordoba]

ppl dont get it Pink Floyd is loud and has weird sounds for a reason ~ to get into ppl's brains ~ have a good time while u are high ~ because they want u to feel the music!!! to adore it to love it and to hear it they want to send messages in the songs thats why some ppl dont like it cuz they say some truth in their songs

[@slideharp1]

Friggin' Great. And Syd's Lyric poetry is really clever. Floating down, the sound resounds around the icy waters underground. Phonetic/Imagery - Genius!. How come the lousy editing, tho'?
