| I assume the last song Syd Barrett recorded with Pink Floyd was Jugband Blues. |

The easy one??!! The answer is Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. Syd played on three songs on A Saucerful, the first being Jugband Blues, the second being Remember A Day and the third being a part of Set The Controls.Gilmour played on the song too, and it's the only Floyd song on which all five members play. Most songs of the album where recorded in august/october '67, all these three were, but the overdubs for Set The Controls where done later, so that makes it the last song recorded with Syd I guess. Yes, I'm a fanboy.  -------------

Thanks for your effort. Since there is a total of 20 questions I'll give up these 2. The Doors and Atomic Rooster had no bass player. Randy California from the 60's band SPIRIT replaced Blackmore when he was sick.

^ Someone played bass on The Doors' albums. It's just that he wasn't part of the band, totally. And in their shows he wasn't there at all. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

I'll do the Keef (Keith) Hartley one.
The Keef Hartley band had an album called Halfbreed and Keef's band Dogsoldier has some sort of Native American on the cover.
Hartley often posed in Indian clothes but I'm pretty sure he was born in the North of England and therefore adopted Indian clothing as some sort of gimmick
Quick edit: he was born in Lancashire, which makes his being an American Indian even more unlikely (Thanks Wiki) ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

The bass parts were played by Vincent Crane and Ray Manzarek via the organ. Dunno just how but plenty here on PA will be able to tell us I'm sure  ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

I can do another one
Robin Trower/Clive Bunker teamed up with Frankie ("Darlin" "Be Good to Yourself" Miller) and someone on bass I guess and were called JUDE ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

TL is right, they actually had bass players for the recording sessions. That's bass guitar what we hear on the albums. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Knechtel - Larry Knechtel (Uncredited) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar - bass ("Soul Kitchen," "Twentieth Century Fox," "Back Door Man," "I Looked At You," "Take It As It Comes") http://www.douglubahn.com/ - Douglas Lubahn – bass guitar on tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, & 9 etc |

^
Live it was definitely via organ.
I.ve got three Rooster albums and there's no bass credits I can find, but I know John Gustafson was a mate of John DuCann's so if anybody played bass on Rooster albums my money's on him ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

| ^ Sorry, I forgot to mention I was talking about The Doors only. I don't know about Atomic Rooster, but listening to their recordings (in my mind) I don't feel they had bass guitar, indeed. |

I believe those where recorded during the Saucerful sessions. According to a Syd Barrett fansite, Scream Thy Last Scream was recorded 7th August '67, and Vegetable Man 2th November '67. Acoording to Last.fm (I don't know how reliable that is though), Set the controls was recorded in August '67, but the overdubs where done in October '67 and January '68. -------------
