Pink Floyd - Syd Barrett / David Gilmour

[@tokus64]

In 69-70, i was a little do nothing when i was 4-5 years old. My parents got me infected with the Pink Floyd addiction. Now in 2023 i still feel the urge to listen to Pink Floyd. Going back to 69-70, feeling young again as a little boy who was trying to sing the lyrics without any english word in my vocabulary. The addiction is still raging on.

I saw PF so many times in London back in the late 1960s and early 70s. The London Roundhouse and the Middle Earth were the best venues back then as they were both so laid back. I have tickets to see Nick Mason here in Brisbane in September 2023 and talk about a trip down memory lane. Def an experience that is never going to be repeated. As I hit 70 this year (and still trucking) it is with some sadness that we have lost so many friends on the way including Syd and Richard and yet part of the love they shared with us is still here in the music. What a privilege to have lived through the last 60 years with so much of the soundtrack to my life provided by PF. Outstandingly beautiful and uplifting, Thank you guys you lit the light that illuminated many. OXO

Greetings to you from the Netherlands !! Maybe I'm a little younger because I remember my dad listening to their records, and "Another brick in the wall" stuck in my memory, and when the album was released, I was only 5 years old, but I was able to choose and play music from the record player completely independently. It started when I was 4, and so on until now. August 7th, I'm 49 years old, but I will listen to Pink Floyd as long as I live. The brilliant mind of Sid Barrett is for us. gave everyone a big gift and eternal thanks and glory to him. By the way, I had the crazy luck to come across the first two at a record exchange, that is the double album, Piper at the gates of down + you know. The serial number of the record is 002, which I consider crazy luck.And I had the honor of watching them live more than 30 times.

Being a fan of Pink Floyd for 40 years, I thought a lot about: what's Sid Barrett's main contribution into the group?. This question arises because, paradoxically, the post-Barrett music of PF has little in common with Barrett's one in style and form, but, nevertheless, everyone feels the invisible presence of Barrett and his huge impact. Now, perhaps, I would phrase it as: he taught them to be unusual, to get out of the ordinary. After him they couldn't compose trivial things - he put them on a higher level of creativity

Roger Keith Barrett (Cambridge, 6 de enero de 1946- Ibídem, 7 de julio de 2006), conocido como Syd Barrett, fue un músico británico conocido por haber sido el líder, cantante, guitarrista y compositor de la banda inglesa Pink Floyd en su primer y exitoso álbum The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Tres años después de la fundación de Pink Floyd, Barrett dejó la banda debido a problemas con las drogas, en especial el LSD, e intentó una breve carrera en solitario que fructificó en dos álbumes, tras los cuales se retiró, recluyéndose desde entonces en la casa de su madre. Pink Floyd sobrevivió a su pérdida, pero la enfermedad mental de Barrett tuvo un profundo efecto en las letras de sus nuevos líderes, Roger Waters, y el sustituto con la guitarra de Barrett, David Gilmour, alcanzando bajo su batuta sus mayores éxitos (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals y The Wall) con temas muchas veces inspirados en la desintegración de su antiguo líder. Está considerado como una figura capital para el desarrollo del rock de los años 1970, siendo una influencia clara para artistas como David Bowie o Marc Bolan.

After Obscured by Clouds, Rick Wright switched from Hammond organ, which was so integral to their sound (in the way he used it), to synthesizers, and that was one of the reasons for the change in approach. The early Floyd work is entirely unique, even when doing straight rock. Look for the WNEW studio session jam of The Embryo. (1969, I think.) It'll knock your socks off.

Rick is shockingly really good

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Definitely, Rick should have been next in line to be the lead singer, but his singing and lyrics were subpar! I hate to say that, because I love Rick as a founding member who always gave us the great keyboards and backing vocals to MANY Floyd songs! He was just never meant to be the leader! That’s sad to say, but that’s the truth!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

@@firecracker8071The sad part was that music took a turn, and not into the hippie lyrics anymore! He had a great voice, but it was too weak to go into the 1970s!! He was great as a backup singer, or when he sang duets with Dave, like in “Echoes”!!

So true. I don't think he's ever gotten the credit he deserves. I don't consider "The Final Cut" to be an actual "Pink Floyd" album solely because Richard had nothing to do with it. It's just a Roger Waters solo album with David and Nick. -

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

yes. He seemed to drum by having, like the Doors had their own way too but based on latino boogie polyrhythms) an almost polyrhythm thing happening based upon a straight roll round the kit.. bum-tum tum tum, roompitty poom poom poom poom (set controls is the perfect example of his 'pan-rhythm' roll)... and everything through much of their history echoed that, till the almost 'funk' edge got added to the mix on Echoes and Dark Side's time.. But was still just accented upon that same straight round the kit roll really. huh? huh? huh? lol

Barrett-era Pink Floyd was the greatest Psychedelic Rock band of all time. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn & Saucerful Of Secrets are their only albums I ever really cared for. Of course, every album they released in the 60's and 70's is amazing - I just never felt spiritually connected to any of their work the way I do their first two albums.

[@masmoudiraouf1951]

I was a young teenager from Tunis (Tunisia) when I discovered Pink Floyd in the early seventies and I loved and listened to all their music including the albums of Waters later. And this video is a selection of some of their best. I can say that we didn’t need drugs to get high their music was our weed.

Met them on the Dark Side tour, 1973. Roadies were so high they forgot to set up 1/2 of the quadraphonic sound. During soundcheck (I got backstage too) I asked Nick (Mason) "where are the rear speakers?, He thanked me and radioed to the sound crew who seemingly thought they were going to do this "small" show in Stereo, NOT!!!!! The placement and super "panning and cross panning" effects were so important they had to go back in the trailer and get out 8 more ALTEC Theater sets to fill the small "War Memorial", they sounded great when compared to the huge volumes of say, Purple or Led Zeppelin. Thanks for the coolest clips!

Its all about set and setting, where you do it and who you do it with whilst acknowledging the ritual aspect. One of the times I used it in a less shamanic way was at Disney Land in Paris, was pretty funny and a great memory to look back on. Now I'm in my 40s, observing life in all its forms and constantly being inspired by the psychedelic/spiritual plains of consciousness and creativity I believe in ritual much more and how everything we do should be part of our personal ritual through this lifetime.
