PINK FLOYD AND SYD BARRETT STORY,THE (PINK FLOYD AND SYD BARRETT)

Customer Reviews:

Great Insight from the Band Members and others who knew Syd.......2007-01-05

It was good to see so much information from people who were around first-hand during the early days with Syd. This DVD is an excellent source of information about Pink Floyd's original inspiration, and doesn't get mired down in a lot of gossip or diagnosis...just personal accounts by the ones who knew Syd best and who can therefore provide the rest of us with a detail that's often overlooked when appreciating Pink Floyd's genuis as a band.

WON'T YOU MISS ME ? WE SURE WILL.......2006-11-04

SIMPLY PUT, AMUST HAVE FOR ALL FLOYD FANS, WHO WANT TO GET THE EARLY FLOYD HISTORY FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP THEMSELVES.

For Die Hard Floyd Fans........2006-07-18

This DVD is a trip back in time.Very enjoyable,but short of it.Anyway it is a great collectable for your dvd library,buy it and see for yourself.

Syd Barrett, RIP.......2006-07-12

Syd Barrett will be greatly missed. His whimsical songwriting style was unique and greatly influenced many famous musicians like David Bowie. This dvd is an essential purchase for those wishing to know about a genuis.

Tells the story without landing any cheap blows..........2006-06-05

I was never too into Pink Floyd outside of Piper at the Gates of Dawn (I very much enjoy Pink Floyd's other albums, though), and I was also a longtime fan of Syd Barrett (being one of my personal favorites - next to the Beach Boys, Love, and the Zombies)... I saw this title at my local Circuit City for $14.99 and purchased it instantly.

I watched it, having not really known the whole Syd Barrett story before, only knowing that he screwed himself up with LSD and then disappeared into obscurity... this tells it all, from the Pink Floyd members and friends/fans/acquaintances of his from that era (Robyn Hitchcock, Humble Pie, the guitarist of Blur, old room mates, etc).

They tell it very well. There is some good footage on here and they explain alot of the writing process of earlier songs and Syd's solo stuff, even his shortlived stint with the band "The Stars".

The best thing about this documentary is that it really respects Syd and you can see how much Roger, David, & co. really loved him and how they were changed by what happened to Syd. It's a sad film, in a way. They shy away from taking any low blows and making Syd's mental instability a spectacle... which I thought was in very good taste.

I have a greater appreciation for Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd having seen this, having seen who they are and (somewhat) understanding the story now.

Vegetable man where you..?
