There was a tribute night at our local for Syd, lots of local musicians played Syd and Floyd numbers........... it was a GREAT night!
Here is the link to a video I took of "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" featuring Nick Barrett (Pendragon) Andy (Riff) and Jool's Baker (Ex-Pendragon) I had to do some SERIOUS editing to get it to the required lenghth (had to lose about HALF!) I hope my hacking dosn't upset too many folk!
Enjoy!
P-C

Please forgive this unforgivably ignorant question, but what exactly was Syd barrett's cause of death?

Irónicamente desde el mes pasado he estado "viajando" continuamente en mil y un artículos sobre el Diamante Loco.
Mas recientemente en el Screen Film del DVD "Pulse" (Alguien recuerda el primer show del Floyd en el Autodromo?)
Descanse en Paz

Here in my country I read in the "Excelsior" newspaper a big article dedicated to Syd`s death. But I have to say that I learned that Syd died because I read it here in this Forum the same day that the news of his death was published. The newspaper published the news the next day.

Oscar Moro you mean, this guy shocked me more, not because Syd's death wasn't a tragedy, but because it would happen at any moment and all of us knew it.
Oscar on the other hand died of a sudden ulcera bleeding at the age of 58, his son said that he had a very agitated life (Well, being friend and having worked with Charly García you can expect anything).
Here in Perú, El Comercio the most respected newspaper has published whole page about Syd Barrett's death with a nice picture that can't be found in their web page.
For those who understand Spanish:
That's very much for a Peruvian newspaper.

Maybe a bit too late, but ... R. I. P., Syd Barrett Also the same day the argentinian drummer Carlos Moro (ex - Serú Girán, La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, etc ...) died (R. I. P., Carlos Moro).... I was in shock. Both two were talented musicians ...

Songs of Innocence and Experience
Introduction (Innocence) Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: "Pipe a song about a Lamb!" So I piped with merry cheer. "Piper, pipe that song again;" So I piped: he wept to hear. "Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy cheer!" So I sung the same again, While he wept with joy to hear. "Piper, sit thee down and write In a book, that all may read." So he vanished from my sight, And I plucked a hollow reed, And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every child may joy to hear. William Blake Rest in Peace you beautiful boy |

I
feel about the same way that I did when John Lennon and Frak Zappa
died. Someone that had a huge influence on my life is gone.

Sad, isn't it? I mean that the human race would lock itself out of something so beautiful? I think people are generally too ignorant to know that they can 'know' themselves. They think 'knowing' themselves just means knowing what they like or how they act... but never how they work or what makes them tick. :( I'm sure Syd's happy now... Heh, Flaming just came on. Now I don't feel so bad about him dying :) |

LSD is the most misunderstood substance in the universe, and he really didn't fall because of it-it was because of things packed away in his psyche he didn't know of.
Don't forget Ken Kesey!

Also, I thought I'd quote Gilmour... this song was obviously about Syd, many years after the fact. Gilmour clearly feels guilty for taking Syd's place. In the first stanza he is talking about Syd, and the second one refers to Roger.

Media-distributed myths of how LSD users grow horns, set fires, and jump out windows I'm rather disappointed that Syd has become the primary example of an 'Acid Casualty' --- it's tragic really, because; 1. He was born with schizophrenia/synaesthesia and his earliest works were already showing his secret breakdown 2. People focus on the drugs and not on his own personal natural creative force that came from the heart 3. Nobody blames the Mad Hatters for spiking his drinks with LSD all the time without him consenting to it; they act as if he willingly subjected himself to the 1mg LSD experience repeatedly Today as a tribute to Syd I'm going to watch his first acid trip. You can find a little under 11 minutes of it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BUliMqPcrW8&search=syd%20barrett%20acid%20trip Syd was the closest thing to a true Astral Man this earth has ever seen. He's flying with Leary and Thompson now. I miss him already |
